MORE THAN DISCIPLES
Each of today’s four scriptural roles—disciple, prophet, apostle, herald—forms a facet of our life in Christ as we
live it day by day. Isaiah tells us that a prophet is anointed,
as we were anointed at our baptism in water and the Spirit,
to bring glad tidings and to promote God’s reign of healing, justice, and peace. An apostle, like Paul, is one who is
“sent.” Each of us, in his or her own way, is sent by Christ
to be a voice of rejoicing, to encourage prophetic voices in
the world, and to make sure that the work of the Spirit
thrives. John the Baptist shows us the job of the herald,
making the Lord’s way straight, announcing the coming of
the Light of the world.
Today we also hear from Mary, model disciple. Her
song, the Magnificat, shows us the world we must believe
in and work for: one in which God is praised, where
God’s favor is bestowed on the humble, where the hungry
are filled and the rich are sent away empty, a world that
continues to know and rejoice in the mercy of God that
lasts for all ages.
Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
MÁS QUE DISCÍPULOS
Cada uno de los cuatro roles en las Escrituras de
hoy —discípulo, profeta, apóstol, testigo— forma una
faceta de la vida en Cristo que vivimos día a día. Isaías
nos dice que el profeta es ungido, tal como fuimos ungidos en el Bautismo con agua y con el Espíritu, para
traer la Buena Nueva y promover el Reino de Dios, un
reino de salvación, justicia y paz. El apóstol, como Pablo, es un “enviado”. Cada uno de nosotros, a su manera, es enviado por Cristo a ser una voz de alegría, a
animar las voces proféticas en el mundo y asegurar que
prospere la obra del Espíritu. Juan Bautista nos muestra la labor del testigo, enderezando el camino del Señor, anunciando la venida de la Luz del Mundo.
Hoy escuchamos también a María, discípulo modelo. Su canto, el “Magnificat”, nos muestra el mundo en
que debemos creer y por el cual laborar: uno en donde
Dios sea alabado, donde el favor de Dios se derrama
sobre los humildes, donde los hambrientos quedan repletos y los ricos se despiden vacíos, un mundo que
continúa conociendo y celebrando la misericordia de
Dios que perdura por todos los siglos.

MEASURING SUCCESS
Success is to be measured not so much by the
position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles
that one has overcome while trying to succeed.
—Booker T. Washington
UNDERSTANDING SCRIPTURE
Most people are bothered by those passages in
Scripture which they can’t understand; but . . . I have
noticed that the passages in Scripture which trouble me
most are those I do understand.
—Mark Twain
MIDIENDO EL ÉXITO
El éxito debe medirse, no por la posición a que
una persona ha llegado, sino por su esfuerzo por
triunfar.
—Booker T. Washington
COMPRENDER LA SAGRADA ESCRITURA
A la mayoría de las personas le preocupa los
pasajes de las Escrituras que no comprenden, pero . . .
los que me preocupan a mí son los que sí comprendo.
—Mark Twain
