“La Esquina Ignaciana”
Feliz Navidad! En este momento, que tiene un puesto como ningún
otro en el calendario litúrgico, todos nosotros de nuestra querida
parroquia de Santa Teresita deseamos que estos días, y el año que viene,
sean pasos especiales por el sendero cotidiano que atraviesan todos los
feligreses en su deseo de conocer amar y de seguir al Niño de Belén.
¿Cuáles serían las gracias específicas y necesarias por las cuales
esperamos durante de este tiempo santo? Las tarjetas navideñas hablan
de “la paz” y de “la esperanza”. Generalmente, entendemos por la
palabra “paz” la ausencia de conflictos. Pero, la paz de Belén es algo
mucho más positivo que una ausencia. Nuestro querido Francisco, en sus
muchos discursos y gestos en nuestro país y en otras partes del mundo nos ha clarificado lo que es
la paz verdadera. La Encarnación de Dios señala una verdadera liberación. Es una liberación de
todo lo que nos causa temor y aprensión, de todo lo que nos paraliza. No significa que no habrá
conflictos o dudas. Pero si, significa que podamos vivir con una tranquilidad interior que nos
libra para que seamos las personas sencillas que Dios ha creado. Es el sentimiento que todo lo
que Dios ha creado es bueno y, por eso, nuestras vidas tienen una finalidad que enriquecerá
nuestra historia.
¿Cómo se puede describir la esperanza de la Navidad? Otra vez más podemos considerar el
ejemplo de nuestro guía espiritual, el obispo de Roma. Básicamente, es la convicción que las
cosas grandes de la vida que han tenido cautivos a los hombres y mujeres durante su paso por este
mundo, o en el pasado o en el presente, no tendrán su fuerza en el futuro - ¡nunca más! El
pecado que nos deprime, que nos hace sentir culpable, que tiene el poder nefario de hacernos
decir que ‘no podamos’ ha sido vencido con la apariencia misericordiosa de Dios en la carne
humana. Nuestra esperanza es el sentir que, a pesar de nuestra debilidad, somos, y seremos
siempre, los hijos e hijas de Dios, amados y amadas por la eternidad por el Dios que es amor. Y,
la muerte, cuya sombra morosa ha aleteado sobre los seres humanos desde el principio de los
tiempos, ahora no tiene ningún poder, porque todo lo humano, incluido la muerte, desde Belén, se
ha asumido en lo divino. Nuestra esperanza es la vida eterna.
San Ignacio en sus Ejercicios explica los extremos ilimitados a que el Dios de amor va, por el
nacimiento de su Hijo, para conseguir las bendiciones de la paz y de la esperanza: Mirar y
considerar lo que hacen (María y José), así como es el caminar y trabajar para que el Señor
sea nacido en suma pobreza, y a cabo de tantos trabajos, de hambre, de sed, de calor y de frío,
de injurias y afrentas, para morir en la cruz; y todo esto por mi; Aquel amor es lo que Dios ha
cumplido en la historia y sigue cumpliendo diariamente en las vidas de todos nosotros. Es ese
amor que hace posible la paz y la esperanza que disfrutamos nosotros los que han recibido el don
gratuito de la fe en el Niño de Belén. Es ese amor que celebramos con la gran fiesta de estos días.
¡Feliz Navidad! ¡Qué el Dios de toda paz y de toda esperanza bendiga nuestras familias en una
manera especial para que podamos compartir esos mismos regalos con todos los con que
encontramos en nuestra alegre experiencia de la vida unida con su Hijo único encarnado!
P. Donald Ward,SJ
