Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma
12 de marzo de 2016
5º Domingo de Cuaresma
A lo largo de la Cuaresma se nos muestra un camino que nos
lleva a la cruz de Jesús, el camino de la muerte a la vida que
también nosotros nos disponemos a compartir, al estar unidos
a él. El cómo lo hacemos ya depende de cada persona la
novedad de renovarnos interiormente implica compromiso.
La liberación de la esclavitud personal, interior, familiar,
social, comunitaria y política viene desde el Antiguo
Testamento. Este camino cristiano es semilla de esperanza de
todos los tiempos. Las prácticas cuaresmales actuales nos
preparan para celebrar una liberación que sea para siempre.
No de un ratito. Para lograrlo tenemos la gracia de Dios dada
en el sacramento de la reconciliación.
El pasaje del Evangelio de hoy está cargado de la
misericordia de Dios, la figura de Jesús es prominente en
testimonio vivo y auténtico de su promesa liberadora hacia
los marginados. En este caso la mujer adúltera representa a
los más vulnerables de la sociedad de su tiempo. A Jesús, no
le importa que hayamos caído, sino que seamos personas
determinadas sabiendo que con su ayuda nos levantaremos,
para no volver a pecar. ¿Estás dispuesto a levantarte? ¿Eres de
los que te quedas caído en el pecado? El Papa Francisco nos
pide en este Año de la Misericordia que seamos valientes y
acudamos a Cristo en cada circunstancia de la vida. "¡Este es
el tiempo oportuno para cambiar la vida! Este es el tiempo
para dejarse tocar el corazón" (Misericordiae Vultus, número
19). Cuaresma: ¡Tiempo de dejar a Dios que toque nuestro
corazón!
Les invitamos a unirse a otros
cristianos a 40 Días por la Vida 40 días de oración y ayuno por el
fin del aborto. Ésta jornada de
oración culmina el Domingo de
Ramos, 20 de marzo. También se
les invita a unirse en oración
durante una vigilia pacífica que se
realizará durante éstos 40 días en
las afueras de la clínica de
Planificación de la Familia, 24
Pennacook Street en Manchester,
y también para ayudar a difundir
la palabra a la comunidad. Si
