The Liturgy of the Day
a la Liturgia del Día
On this day set aside to
remember all the saints of the
Lord, we recall that we who live
on this earth today are but one
part of a church that extends
back through the centuries and
forward to the end of time. Just
as many of our churches have
images of saints surrounding
them, we are surrounded by the
communion of saints, whose
lives are a shining example of
encouragement for us.
. En este día que ha sido apartado para
recordar a todos los santos del Señor
traemos a la memoria que nosotros los
que vivimos en esta tierra no somos
más que una parte de una Iglesia que
se remonta a siglos pasados y sigue
adelante hasta el final de los tiempos.
Así como muchas de nuestras iglesias
están rodeadas de imágenes de santos
nosotros estamos rodeados de la
comunión de los santos, cuyas vidas
son un ejemplo resplandeciente de
estímulo para nosotros.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• Para este católico de cierta
edad (¡sólo revelo que éste
es ya mi séptimo papa!) es
fascinante ver las reacciones
al actual pontificado. La
actitud casual del papa
Francisco en cuanto a los
protocolos de su vestimenta
y de la liturgia alarmó a
algunos tradicionalistas al
principio. Pero pronto mi familia y amistades que
no están involucrados en la Iglesia empezaron a
preguntarme (sin que yo lo provocara): ¿Y qué
crees tú del nuevo papa? Parece ser bien amable (o
afable, humilde, sencillo, etc.)”, ¡como si éstas no
fueran cualidades que deberíamos de esperar en los
líderes de la Iglesia!
• Pero fue la entrevista de Francisco en el vuelo de
regreso a Roma después del Día Mundial de la
Juventud, así como las imágenes televisivas de un
millón de jóvenes orando y festejando en las playas
de Río lo que realmente convirtió a aquellos
familiares y amigos, que habían estado
desinteresados, en verdaderos “fanáticos del Papa”
y en algunos casos hasta se volvieron a
comprometer como católicos. Cuando les
preguntaba: “¿Por qué tanto interés en el Papa (o
en la Iglesia) de buenas a primeras?” su respuesta
era: “Él me hace sentir de nuevo que pertenezco
aquí”. Algunos añadían: “Aun a alguien como yo”.
• ¿No es éste uno de los mensajes del día de Todos
los Santos? Cuando el Apocalipsis nos habla de
“una muchedumbre tan grande, que nadie podía
contarla” y de aquellos “que han pasado por la gran
persecución” incluye, a la larga, a alguien como yo
(7:9, 14). ¡En efecto, somos hijos e hijas de Dios
ahora! Así es que si pudiéramos ayudar a alguien
“que anda por ahí” a darse cuenta de que
“pertenece aquí”, junto al resto de la diversa
muchedumbre de Jesús, que llamamos la comunión
de los santos, las bienaventuranzas no serían sólo
parte del Evangelio de hoy, sino la historia de
nuestra vida.
Pregunta de la Semana
¿Qué puedo hacer esta semana para hacer sentir a
alguien que pertenece de nuevo a la familia del
pueblo de Dios?
