Pope at Mass: faith is a gift, it is ours for the asking
2016-01-14 Vatican Radio
Faith always wins, because it turns even defeat into victory, but it is not something “magical” – it is a personal relationship
with God that cannot be learned in books, and is in fact a gift from God, a gift that is our for the asking: this was the essence
of Pope Francis’ reflections following the Readings of the Day at Mass on Thursday morning in the chapel of the Casa Santa
Marta in the Vatican.
Taken from the Book of Samuel, the First Reading told of the defeat of the People of God at the hands of the Philistines. “the
slaughter was very great,” and the people lost everything, “[even] their dignity.” The Holy Father asked, “What led to this
defeat?” and answered that the people, “slowly walked away from the Lord, lived in a worldly fashion, and even kept with
idols.” The people went out to the Sanctuary of Shiloh, but, “as if it were a mere cultural habit – they had lost their filial relationship with God – they did not worship God – and He left them alone. The people even used the Ark of the Covenant to win
the battle, though they did so as though the Ark were a sort of magical talisman. “In the Ark,” recalled Pope Francis, “was
the Law – the Law that they did not keep and which they had abandoned.” There was no longer “a personal relationship with
the Lord – they had forgotten the God who had saved them,” and were defeated. 30 thousand Israelites were slain, the Ark
was taken by the Philistines, the two sons of Eli, “those criminal priests who exploited people in the Sanctuary of Shiloh,”
met their end. It was, “A total defeat,” the Pope said. “Thus does a people that has distanced itself from God meet its end.”
The Gospel of the day, however, speaks of a victory:
“At that time, a leper came to Jesus and begged him on his knees – precisely in a gesture of adoration – and said, ‘Look, you
can make me clean.’ He challenged the Lord, saying, ‘I have been defeated in life – the leper had suffered defeat, insofar as he
could not live life in common with others, he was always cast off – but you [he said to the Lord] can turn this defeat into victory!.’ That is: ‘Look, you can make me clean.’ Before this Jesus had compassion, he stretched out his hand, touched him and
said, ‘I desire that you be made clean!’ So, simply: this fight is over in two minutes and ends in victory; that other last all day
long, and ends with the defeat. The man had something that drove him to go to Jesus and send up the challenge: he had
faith.”
The Apostle John says that the victory over the world is our faith. “Our faith wins, always!”:
“Faith is the victory. Faith: like [that of] this man [who said], ‘If you want to, you can do it.’ The losers of the First Reading
prayed to God, bearing the ark, but they had no faith, they had forgotten it. This leper had faith, and when you ask with faith,
Jesus himself told us mountains will move. We are able to move a mountain from one place to another: faith is capable of
this. Jesus himself said, ‘Whatever you ask the Father in my name, you will be given. Ask and you shall receive; knock and it
shall be opened,’ but with faith – and this this is our victory.”
Pope Francis concluded his remarks to the faithful with this prayer:
“We ask the Lord that our prayers always have that root of faith, that they be born of faith in Him. The grace of faith: faith is a
gift. You do not learn from books. It is a gift that the Lord gives you, but just ask for it: ‘Give me faith!’ ‘I believe, Lord!’, said
the man who asked Jesus to heal his son: ‘I ask Lord, that you help my unbelief.’ Prayer with faith ... and the man is healed.
We ask God for the grace to pray with faith, to be sure that everything we ask of Him we will be given, with the confidence
that faith gives us – and this is our victory, our faith.”

Papa: no hay Santo sin pecado, ni pecador sin futuro
2016-01-19 Radio Vaticana
(RV).- Dios no se detiene ante las apariencias, sino que ve con el corazón, señaló el Papa Francisco en su homilía, en la Misa
matutina, en la capilla de la Casa de Santa Marta. Reflexionando sobre la primera lectura, que narra la elección del joven David como rey de Israel, el Santo Padre destacó que también en la vida de los Santos hay tentaciones y pecados, como muestra precisamente la vida de David, pero que nunca hay que usar a Dios para vencer una causa propia.
El Señor rechaza a Saúl «porque tenía el corazón cerrado, no había obedecido al Señor» y piensa elegir a otro rey, recordó el
Papa, con el primer Libro de Samuel.
El Señor ve el corazón, no se detiene ante las apariencias
Una elección que se aparta de los criterios humanos, porque David era el más joven de los hijos de Jesé, era un chiquillo.
Pero el Señor hace comprender al profeta Samuel que para Él las apariencias no cuentan. «El Señor ve con el corazón»:
«Nosotros, tantas veces, somos esclavos de las apariencias, esclavos de lo que parece y nos dejamos llevar por estas cosas:
‘Pero, así parece…’ Sin embargo, el Señor sabe la verdad. Como en esta historia. Pasan los siete hijos de Jesé y el Señor no
elige a ninguno, los deja pasar. Samuel se siente algo incómodo y le dice al Padre: ¿ni siquiera a éste ha elegido? ¿Están aquí
todos los muchachos? ‘Queda todavía el más joven, que no cuenta, que está apacentando el rebaño’. Ante los ojos de los
hombres, este jovencito no cuenta».
David reconoce su pecado y pide perdón
No contaba para los hombres, pero el Señor lo elige y manda a Samuel que lo unja. Y «el Espíritu del Señor descendió sobre
David». Y, desde ese día, toda la vida de David fue la vida un hombre ungido por el Señor, elegido por el Señor», reiteró el
Papa Francisco, y después de preguntar: ¿entonces, el Señor lo hizo Santo?, respondió: «No, el Rey David es el Santo Rey
David, es verdad, pero solo después de una vida larga» y una vida con pecados:
«Santo y pecador. Un hombre que ha sabido unir el Reino, ha sabido llevar adelante al pueblo de Israel. Pero tenía sus
tentaciones… tenía sus pecados: fue también un asesino. Para encubrir su lujuria, el pecado de adulterio, mandó… mandó
matar. ¡Él! El Santo Rey David mató Pero cuando Dios envió al profeta Natán para hacer ver esta realidad, porque no se
había dado cuenta de la barbarie que había ordenado, reconoció ‘he pecado’ y pidió perdón»
Recordando la vida del Rey David que «nunca utilizó a Dios para vencer una causa propia» y que cuando lo insultaban, pensaba para sí mismo: me lo merezco, el Papa hizo hincapié en que «el Santo Rey David era un gran pecador, pero se arrepintió»
y señaló que le conmueve la vida de este hombre, que nos ayuda a pensar en la nuestra:
«Todos nosotros hemos sido elegidos por el Señor a través del Bautismo, para estar en su pueblo, para ser Santos; hemos
sido consagrados por el Señor, en este camino de la santidad. Leyendo esta vida de un niño – no, era más bien un joven –
luego de joven a viejo, que hizo tantas cosas buenas y otras no tan buenas, se me ocurre pensar que en el camino cristiano,
en el camino que el Señor nos ha invitado a recorrer, se me ocurre pensar que no hay ningún Santo sin pasado, y tampoco
un pecador sin futuro»

What is the Rite of Acceptance?
This most important rite is where the unbap zed inquirers,
assembling publicly for the first me, declare their intenon to the Church and the Church accepts them as persons
who intend to become its members. The inquirers enter
the Order of Catechumens and can begin to call themselves Catholic. From this me on, the Catechumens are
part of the household of Christ. The Church nourishes
them with the word of God and sustains them by means of
liturgical celebra ons. They can marry in the Church. One
who dies during the catechumenate receives a Chris an
burial.
