!No Permi r que El “Hombre Viejo” Controle Nuestras Acciones

La liturgia hoy nos habla de las cualidades del Siervo de Dios, aquél que había de venir, y vino ya. Es un anuncio profé co de la venida del Mesías y sobre cómo sería, o sea, sus cualidades y acciones: una descripción muy precisa de Jesús. Es de esta descripción que estamos llamados a ser imagen y semejanza, pero no con nuestras fuerzas, sino con las del Espíritu Santo. El Espíritu Santo - con el que fuimos bau zados todos, y que recibimos en plenitud, o tuvimos el acceso a la plenitud, por el sacramento de la Confirmación - se manifiesta de muchas maneras en nuestra vida: diferentes dones y carismas, regalos de Dios para sus hijos, para ser empleados en la edificación de su pueblo. Lamenta-blemente se nos olvida que seremos también bau zados con fuego, que simboliza la purificación. Todos queremos ver a Dios manifestarse, pero le huimos al proceso de purifica-ción, que es absolutamente necesaria: para estar listos, ser canales o portadores de los regalos y mensajes de Dios para su pueblo, es necesario ser bau zados con fuego. El Fuego que Dios nos quiere someter es el de la purificación del corazón, que simboliza nuestro yo interior, la esencia misma de nuestro ser. Ese ser ín mo es el que ene que ser transformado por el fuego de Dios para, purificando nuestras intensiones, pensamientos, y sen mientos, Dios mismo pueda hacerse uno en nosotros. El fuego santo de Dios cambia el odio por el amor, los deseos de venganza por perdón, la arrogancia por humildad, el egoísmo por entrega, la arrogancia por sencillez, la infidelidad por fidelidad, el mal temperamento en paciencia y paz, las crí cas en comprensión… En fin, quema lo nega vo de nuestra vida vieja para darnos una Vida Nueva llena de los sen mien-tos que se manifiestan en la persona de su hijo Jesús, Se-ñor, Salvador y Mesías. Ya mientras mas nos dejemos purificar, mas semejantes a Jesús seremos, y mejores instrumentos para su Gloria y la construcción de nuestra Parroquia. Que este tiempo ordinario de la liturgia que empezamos, nos ayude a ser valientes como San Juan Bautista, como la Virgen Maria de Altagracia, como San Pablo, como San Juan Bosco. Todos los minis-terios del Apostolado de nuestra Parroquia junto con la catequesis debemos trabajar unidos con el mismo pensar, sentir, y actuar.

Que Dios nos Bendiga!

What do you Expect?

Here comes with power the Lord God, who rules by a strong arm. Most of us don’t expect miracles to come into our world and solve all our problems. The more op mis c among us, and those with a firm work ethic, imagine that diligence and dedica on may reap great rewards if we just apply ourselves to the tasks we face. Others shake their heads and say no, nothing can be done, our geese are cooked and we are condemned to keep on ea ng them.

Somewhere above both these a tudes is the stance of faith. Remember: faith is not about holding certain facts about God to be true, It is about engaging a rela onship of trust and loyalty to God above all others. Faith means acknowledging the present reality, with all of its cruel and jagged details. Faith doesn’t pretend suffering and injus ce away by focusing its gaze absolutely upward.

Rather, faithful people see right through the present hour’s brokenness all the way to the once-and-future realm of God’s loving crea on. And then they roll up their sleeves and get to work preparing the way. Imagine living in an occupied country, in which one group of people is obliged to bow to the laws, culture, and government of another. Even the religion of foreigners is increasingly pressed on them. Wouldn’t it be difficult to hold onto hope? And, if someone came along who sounded like he was divinely appointed to come to save the situa on, wouldn’t you be curious despite your doubts? John the Bap st had a thunderous authority that led mul tudes to track him down in the wilderness, hear his message, and seek his bap sm. Some became his followers, who believed in John so passionately that early missionaries of the Church would run into pockets of disciples of John a century a er his beheading. John spoke like the Messiah some Jewish teachers had been preparing for. He was strong, bold, frank, and decisive. John seemed en rely unconcerned about offering worldly powers like Herod or even the Romans. Wouldn’t you have worn a bu on for John?

May God Bless Us!

ST. ANTHONY Following the death of his parents when he was about 20, Anthony insured that his sister completed her education, then he sold his house, furniture, and the land he owned, gave the proceeds to the poor, joined the anchorites who lived nearby, and moved into an empty sepulcher. At age 35 he moved to the desert to live alone; he lived 20 years in an abandoned fort. He miraculously healed people and agreed to be the spiritual counselor of others. His recommendation was to base life on the Gospel. Word spread, and so many disciples arrived that Anthony founded two monasteries on the Nile; one at Pispir, one at Arsinoe. Anthony retired to the desert, living in a cave on Mount Colzim. Liturgical Day: January 17 . . . . . Después de la muerte de sus padres cuando tenía unos 20 años, Anthony aseguró que su hermana completó su educación, luego vendió su casa, muebles, y la tierra que poseía, dio los ingresos a los pobres, se unió a los anclajes que vivían cerca, y se trasladó a un Sepulcro vacío. A la edad de 35 se trasladó al desierto para vivir solo; vivió 20 años en un fuerte abandonado. Milagrosamente sanó a la gente y aceptó ser el consejero espiritual de los demás. Su recomendación era basar la vida en el Evangelio. Se extendió la palabra, y llegaron tantos discípulos que Anthony fundó dos monasterios en el Nilo; uno en Pispir, uno en Ar-sinoe. Anthony se retiró al desierto, viviendo en una cueva en el Monte Colzim. Día litúrgico: 17 de enero
