GIVE GLORY TO GOD On the Fifth Sunday of Lent, just
before we begin to enter Holy Week, we are summoned to
Bethany. If we had been friends of Mary, Lazarus, and
Martha, and found out that Lazarus was gravely ill, we
probably would have dropped everything to be with them.
This was what was so surprising about the behavior of Jesus. Although he was their close friend, he chose to stay
away, that God’s glory would be manifested. This is a persistent theme in John’s Gospel. Right to the very end, Jesus’ works were meant to give glory to the Father. As our
Lenten journey reaches a crescendo, let us be mindful that,
as people who have “put on Christ” in baptism, we are also
called, by our attitudes and actions, to give glory to God.

FIESTA DE LA FE
Las lecturas
La primera lectura, excepto durante la Pascua, siempre se toma del Antiguo Testamento. Durante los cincuenta días de la Pascua, la primera lectura se toma del libro de Los Hechos de los
Apóstoles. Esto tiene como fin el poner de “relieve
la unidad de ambos Testamentos y de la historia de
la salvación” (IGMR 57). Así pues, no está permitido, bajo ninguna circunstancia, cambiar los textos bíblicos, incluyendo el Salmo Responsorial, por
textos no bíblicos. La vinculación entre la primera
lectura y el Evangelio es vital, pues ambas tienen el
mismo tema de fondo. La segunda lectura, por su
parte, sigue su propio ritmo, más no por eso está
desvinculada o debe desvincularse de la primera lectura y del Evangelio. Puesto que se trata de la
Palabra de Dios, la proclamación de ambas lecturas,
así como el canto del Salmo Responsorial, debe
hacerse desde el ambón. La proclamación corresponde a ministros laicos, pues este ministerio no es
de quien preside, sino de quienes celebran junto con
él, el pueblo de Dios. No obstante, el Evangelio sí
es de oficio presidencial y ha de proclamarse por el
diácono o el presbítero.
DA GLORIA A DIOS
En el quinto domingo de Cuaresma, justo antes
de entrar en la Semana Santa, somos llamados a Betania.
Si hubiéramos sido amigos de María, Lázaro y Marta, y
nos hubiéramos enterado que Lázaro estaba gravemente
enfermo, probablemente lo habríamos dejado todo para
estar con ellos. Eso es lo más sorprendente del comportamiento de Jesús. Pese a que era su amigo cercano, eligió
mantenerse alejado, para que la gloria de Dios se manifestara. Este es un tema persistente en el Evangelio de
Juan. Hasta el mismo final, las obras de Jesús son para
dar gloria al Padre. A medida que nuestra jornada de
Cuaresma llega a su apogeo, recordemos que, como personas que “se han revestido de Cristo” en el Bautismo,
también somos llamados a dar gloria a Dios en nuestras
actitudes y acciones.
