How can our wounded world be healed?
How can barriers be broken down, reconciliation begin and healing take place? This is certainly a question for this new century, but it is
a question as old as the world. In today’s first
reading, the prophet Jeremiah describes a torn
and broken world. He looks to the leadership
in the land and finds it lacking. He writes of shepherds who
mislead and scatter. Such bad shepherds, then and now, might
be political leaders. But they might also be leaders of families,
of industry, of education, or of any human institution.
Jeremiah foretold the coming of Jesus, “a righteous shoot
to David” (Jeremiah 23:5). He foretold a shepherd who would
gather the sheep, a king who would govern wisely. In today’s
Gospel, Mark describes this shepherd king. He and his apostles
were tired and had gone away to rest. But they were met by a
crowd of people searching for his teaching. We are told that
Jesus pitied them, seeing them as “sheep without a shepherd”
(Mark 6:34).
OUR WORLD TODAY
How does Jesus Christ see us today? Does he pity us? We
are scattered, separated, bewildered, conflicted. We tremble
in fear and hide in the dark. Are we still like sheep without a
shepherd? How can our torn and broken world be restored?
We can turn to Saint Paul for an answer. He, too, describes
a broken world of hostility and enmity. But he reminds us that
enmity has been put to death. The cross of Christ Jesus has
done this. It is in Christ Jesus and through the shedding of his
blood that we can be reconciled, one to another, all over our
broken world.
Today’s Readings: Jer 23:1–6; Ps 23:1–6; Eph 2:13–18; Mk 6:30–34
¿Cómo se puede sanar nuestro mundo
herido? ¿Cómo se pueden derribar las barreras,
comenzar la reconciliación y dar lugar a la
sanación? Ciertamente esta es una pregunta
para este nuevo siglo, pero es una pregunta
tan vieja como el mundo. En la primera lectura
de hoy, el profeta Jeremías describe un mundo
roto. Buscan entre los dirigentes del país y los encuentran
deficientes. Escribe de pastores que engañan y dispersan.
En ese entonces y ahora, esos malos pastores podrían ser
dirigentes políticos. Pero también podrían ser cabezas de
familias, de la industria, de la educación o de cualquier
institución humana.
Jeremías anunció la venida de Jesús, “un renuevo en el
tronco de David: será un rey justo” (Jeremías 23:5). Anunció
un pastor que apacentaría a las ovejas, un rey que gobernaría
con prudencia. En el Evangelio de hoy, Marcos describe a este
rey pastor. Él y sus apóstoles estaban cansados y se habían
apartado para descansar. Pero una multitud lo buscaba para
escuchar sus enseñanzas. Sabemos que Jesús se compadeció
de ellos, porque las veía como “ovejas sin pastor” (Marcos 6:34).
NUESTRO MUNDO HOY
¿Cómo nos ve Jesucristo hoy? ¿Se compadece de nosotros?
Estamos dispersos, separados, desconcertados, en conflicto.
Temblamos de miedo y nos ocultamos en la oscuridad. ¿Aún
somos como ovejas sin pastor? ¿Cómo se puede restaurar
nuestro mundo roto?
Podemos recurrir a san Pablo para una respuesta. Él también
describe un mundo sufriente lleno de hostilidad y enemistad.
Nos recuerda que la enemistad ha sido destruida. Lo hizo la
cruz de Jesucristo. Es en Jesucristo y por su sangre derramada
que podemos ser reconciliados, unos con otros, en todo
nuestro mundo sufriente.
Lecturas de hoy: Jr 23:1–6; Sal 23:1–6; Ef 2:13–18; Mc 6:30–34
