HOPE AND LIFE
ESPERANZA Y VIDA
Today’s readings tell the story of two widows. The first
reading relates the plight of the widow with whom the
prophet Elijah stayed; the Gospel tells about the widow
of Nain. In each story, the widow’s only son had died.
For people who lived in those cultures, the son was the
only support of a widow, and the carrying on of the family name by the son was equal to immortality. A widow
whose only son has died could lose all hope.
Las Escrituras del hoy nos cuentan la historia de dos
viudas. La primera lectura relata la difícil situación
en la que vivía la viuda con la que el profeta Elías se
quedó y el Evangelio cuenta la historia de la viuda de
Naín, en cada una de estas historias a cada viuda el
hijo único de ellas murió. En la cultura de esos países
en ese tiempo, el hijo era el sustento para la viuda
y quien además continuaba la descendencia familiar
que era igual a la inmortalidad. La viuda cuyo único
hijo hubiera muerto perdía toda esperanza.
Elijah and Jesus are the restorers of hope; they bring the
sons back to life. Saint Paul was metaphorically raised
from the dead when he experienced the conversion and
call from God that he describes in today’s second reading.
What are Christians called to do today? We may not be
able to raise the dead, but perhaps we can rekindle hope
for a single parent. We may not be able to convert a persecutor like Paul, but if we speak the gospel openly and
gently with our lives, we might touch a life with the Good
News.

Elías y Jesús son los restauradores de esperanza; ellos
devuelven la vida a sus hijos. San Pablo, metafóricamente hablando, revivió de la muerte a la vida cuando él se convirtió después de la llamada de Dios de
la que él habla en la segunda lectura.
¿A qué están llamados los cristianos hoy en día?
Quizá no podemos revivir de la muerte, pero quizá
podemos reanimar la esperanza de un padre o una
madre soltera. Quizá no podemos convertir a un perseguidor como Pablo, pero si abiertamente hacemos
vida el Evangelio en nuestras vidas, podríamos tocar
una vida con la Buena Nueva.
