Saint John the Evangelist
AUTORIDAD DE DIOS
De acuerdo a Moisés, el pueblo decidió que no quería
ya más oír la voz directa de Dios. Era demasiado
aterradora. ¿Por qué no les podía Dios enviar a maestros
o profetas humanos? Dios aceptó pero con una
advertencia. El pueblo debía escuchar a estos maestros,
puesto que hablaban en nombre de Dios.
Ese acuerdo, sin embargo, resultó en otros
problemas, para ellos y para nosotros. ¿Cómo sé si este
maestro es en realidad de Dios? Y si el maestro es de
Dios, ¿están todas las partes de su enseñanza dirigidas a
mí? Tenemos la Iglesia y la Sagrada Escritura para
ayudarnos con todas estas preguntas, pero así y todo
siempre quedan algunos cabos sueltos.
Ese es el poderoso significado de la frase en el
Evangelio de hoy: "Los oyentes quedaron asombrados de
sus palabras, pues enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad y
no como los escribas". El pueblo sabía que este Jesús era
auténtico ‑verdaderamente un maestro enviado por Dios.
Lo sabían con sólo escucharle.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Moisés le habló
a todo el pueblo diciendo: “El Señor
Dios hará surgir en medio de ustedes
un profeta como yo” (Deuteronomio
18:15-20).
Salmo — Ojalá escuchen hoy su
voz; no endurezcan sus corazones
(Salmo 95 [94]).
Segunda lectura — Hermanos y hermanas: Yo quisiera que
ustedes vivieran sin preocupaciones (1 Corintios 7:32-35).
Evangelio — Los oyentes quedaron asombrados de sus
palabras, pues enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad
(Marcos 1:21-28).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Muchos católicos
suelen encender una
velita de cera ante
una imagen de Jesús,
María u otro santo.
Esa velita representa
un recuerdo de la
oración hecha por el
cristiano y suele
quedarse encendida
varios días. Hoy, muchos templos han reemplazado la
vela de cera con luces eléctricas que imitan el fuego de la
velita. A muchos no les gusta y se resisten al concepto.
No los culpo, ya que hay algo muy especial en la acción
ritual de encender una vela. Sin embargo, hay que
recordar que lo importante es la oración y no la velita.
Hoy se enciende la vela eléctrica, en tiempos pasados la
vela de cera, pero en el primer milenio cristiano se
encendía una lámpara de aceite de olivo. Según la
historia pasaron varios siglos antes de que la Iglesia
aceptara la vela de cera en lugar de la de aceite. Los
cristianos del siglo XIII se negaban a aceptar lo que hoy
consideramos tradicional, la vela de cera. Hay que
aceptar que nuestras tradiciones cambian al correr del
tiempo. No importa si quemamos aceite, cera o
electricidad. Lo que importa es velar en oración.
LA PRESENTACION DEL SEÑOR
Hasta el Concilio Vaticano II se celebraba
como fiesta principalmente mariana, pero
desde entonces ha
pasado a ser en
primer lugar
Cristológica, ya que
el principal misterio
que se conmemora
es la Presentación
de Jesús en el
Templo y su manifestación o encuentro con
Simeón. El centro, pues, de esta fiesta no
sería María, sino Jesús. María entra a formar
parte de la fiesta en cuanto lleva en sus
brazos a Jesús y está asociada a esta
manifestación de Jesús a Simeón y a la
anciana Ana.
