DECIMOCTAVO DOMINGO ORDINARIO
31 DE JULIO DE 2016
Estamos de paso. La vida es breve: Todo es vaciedad. ¿Qué
sentido tiene el trabajo, el acumular bienes en este
mundo? Los bienes de este mundo tienen un valor relativo
y terminan con la muerte. Por lo tanto, hemos de trabajar
y usar de los bienes de este mundo mirando a la
eternidad. Esto es, subordinando el uso de los bienes
materiales a nuestra salvación eterna, usando de dichos
bienes en tanto cuanto son instrumentos de salvación.
Nuestra verdadera riqueza es poseer la vida de Cristo:
buscad los bienes de allá arriba, donde está Cristo,
sentado a la derecha de Dios; aspirar a los bienes de
arriba, no a los de la tierra. . La muerte no avisa. Los
bienes de este mundo quedarán aquí. La única riqueza que
contará, será la vida de Cristo en nosotros por el don de la
gracia santificante. No hagamos mal uso de los bienes
materiales como si no fuéramos a morir nunca.
Procuremos ser ricos ante Dios, acumulando la riqueza de
la vida sobrenatural, creciendo en la vida de la gracia que
es crecer en Cristo.
