Jubileo de la Misericordia
Jubilee Year of Mercy
This Jubilee Year of Mercy bids us share our own experience of Jesus’
mercy with those on what Pope Francis calls the “peripheries”—
people who feel marginalized, even unwelcome—inviting them to
come home. But with all this mercy, why today’s mayhem? “Do you
think I have come to establish peace on earth? No, I tell you, but
rather division” (Luke 12:51). Jesus “breaks down” those “breakups” in
painful detail—parents, children, even in-laws. “Against” appears eight
times in five verses. Jeremiah faced death for bearing witness
(Jeremiah 38:4). Can’t we bear at least a small share of the sometimes
merciless cost of sharing mercy? The Letter to the Hebrews warns us,
keep your “eyes fixed on Jesus” and “so great a cloud of witnesses,”
lest we “grow weary and lose heart” as we run “the race that lies
before us” (Hebrews 12:1–3). After all, “for the sake of the joy that lay
before him,” Jesus “endured the cross” (12:2). Can’t we endure our
small crosses for the sake of sharing mercy?

Este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia nos invita a llevar nuestra propia
experiencia de la misericordia de Jesús hacia las “periferias” —así lo
llama el Papa Francisco—, las personas marginadas, incluyendo a
personas que juzgamos desagradables, invitándolas a que vengan a
casa. Pero con toda esta misericordia, ¿por qué el caos de hoy día?
“¿Piensan acaso que he venido a traer la paz a la tierra? De ningún
modo. No he venido a traer la paz, sino la división (Lucas 12:51). Jesús
va dando ejemplos de esas “divisiones” en detalles dolorosos para
padres, hijos, suegros, suegras, nueras, yernos. Una palabra a
considerar es “división”. Jeremías estuvo a punto de morir por dar
testimonio (Jeremías 38:4). ¿No podemos nosotros al menos asumir
una pequeña parte de lo que a veces despiadadamente cuesta
compartir misericordia? La carta a los hebreos nos advierte mantener
“fija la mirada en Jesús” y de quienes “dieron prueba de su fe”, para
que “no se cansen ni pierdan la ánimo” mientras corremos “la carrera
que tenemos por delante” (Hebreos 12:1–3). ¿No podemos llevar a
cuestas nuestras pequeñas cruces por el bien de compartir
misericordia?

[Jesus] endured the cross, despising its shame,
OFFICES CLOSED MONDAY
FOR THE ASSUMPTION
and has taken his seat at the right of the throne
of God.
~ Hebrews 12:2
Jesús aceptó la cruz, sin temer su ignominia, y
por eso está sentado a la derecha del trono de
Dios.
~ Hebreos 12:2
THE COSTS OF DISCIPLESHIP
Today’s responsorial psalm, Psalm 40, is more familiar to us
with the refrain “Here am I, Lord.” This “Here am I” is Jeremiah’s
great prophetic response to God’s call. But today’s story of
Jeremiah and the refrain “Lord, come to my aid!” remind us that
there are always two sides to following the call of God. The
author of the Letter to the Hebrews knew this, too. He reminded
his readers that even weighted down with burdens and sins, we
can still persevere by keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, who himself
knew the shame and pain of the cross, but saw beyond it to the
joy of sitting at the right of the throne of God.
Jesus himself gave the disciples a “sneak preview” of a
baptism that would not be as wondrous as the one in the Jordan
that inaugurated his ministry, but would be one of fire and
anguish. Today’s words from scripture may not be terribly
soothing, but in their honesty and strength we can acknowledge
the difficulties of daily discipleship, and take comfort in the
assurance of our own salvation in Christ. ~Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
EL COSTO DE SER DISCÍPULO
El Salmo responsorial de hoy, Salmo 40 (39), nos es muy
familiar por el refrán “Señor, date prisa en socorrerme”. La historia
de Jeremías hoy y el refrán “¡Señor, date prisa en socorrerme!” nos
recuerda que siempre hay dos caminos para seguir el llamado de
Dios. El autor de la Carta a los Hebreos también lo sabía. Él
recordaba a sus lectores que aunque nos agobien desgracias y
pecados, podemos todavía perseverar si mantenemos nuestros ojos
fijos en Jesús, quien también conoció la vergüenza y el dolor de la
cruz, pero vio más allá del sufrimiento, el gozo de sentarse a la
derecha del trono de Dios.
Jesús mismo dio a sus discípulos una “idea” de un bautismo que
no sería tan maravilloso como el del Jordán que inauguró su
ministerio, sino de fuego y angustia. Las palabras de la Sagrada
Escritura hoy pueden no ser terriblemente apaciguadoras, pero en su
honestidad y fortaleza podemos reconocer las dificultades que el
discípulo enfrenta a diario, y consolarnos por la seguridad de nuestra
salvación en Cristo.
