The Liturgy of the Day
a la Liturgia del Día
Today’s Mass is for all of us
who have ever felt that we
don’t “get it.” Even Jesus’
closest disciples had trouble
understanding his message.
Thankfully, Jesus was patient
with them. As we gather today
at God’s invitation, let us pray
to our patient God to help us to
understand what we are to do in
following Jesus and building up
God’s reign.
La Misa de hoy es para todos
aquellos de nosotros que alguna vez
nos hemos sentido “despistados” o
que no entendemos. Aun los
discípulos más cercanos a Jesús
tuvieron dificultad en entender su
mensaje. Afortunadamente Jesús
tuvo paciencia con ellos. Reunidos
hoy por invitación de Dios,
elevemos nuestra oración a nuestro
Dios paciente para que nos ayude a
entender lo que debemos hacer si
queremos seguir a Jesús y construir
el reino de Dios.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• El “justo” de la Sabiduría,
a
cuya
integridad
y
compromiso se le tiende
“una trampa”, prefigura al
Cristo que encontramos en
el Evangelio de hoy, que
advierte a las generaciones
futuras sobre el costo del
discipulado. En nuestra
época se dan persecuciones inhumanas a los
discípulos de Cristo en tierras lejanas. Algunos han
dicho que hay más mártires hoy que en los
primeros siglos. Aunque no se podría comparar con
ese sufrimiento, el atrevernos a “contraponernos”
al consenso de la mayoría en cuanto a los valores
evangélicos podría provocar que nuestros
amistosos contemporáneos nos tildaran de
“repulsivos”.
• Pero antes de pensar en dar testimonio ante los
demás Santiago nos recuerda que los discípulos no
pueden dar un testimonio externo de Cristo que
tenga credibilidad si existe una disfunción interna
con “envidias y rivalidades”, en otras palabras el
pecado hace que el testimonio de la comunidad
luzca contradictorio (3:16).
• Esas “envidias y rivalidades” las confronta hoy
Jesús entre sus discípulos y también en nosotros
que nos vemos reflejados en ellos. Con la pregunta
de la semana pasada que le hace a los discípulos de
“¿Quién dice la gente que soy yo?” Jesús revela
quién es él: “el Cristo”. Hoy la pregunta de Jesús
revela quiénes son ellos (y muy a menudo quiénes
somos nosotros). “¿De qué discutían por el
camino?” Con ese “por el camino” Jesús se refiere
al discipulado que nos exige un amor entregado
aun hasta la muerte. La pregunta y la respuesta de
la semana pasada resultó en que Jesús pusiera a
Pedro en su lugar, que es el lugar de todos los
discípulos. Esta semana Jesús puso a un niño “en
medio de ellos” y lo abrazó, esto es, abrazó ante
ellos las actitudes y cualidades requeridas de un
discípulo: humildad, vulnerabilidad, apertura,
asombro, y la capacidad de dejarse formar, enseñar
y aun disciplinar (9:36).
Pregunta de la Semana
¿Cómo se manifiestan las “envidias y rivalidades”
en mi vida? ¿Qué cosas específicas debo hacer para
ser más como un niño en mi testimonio de Cristo?
