6th Sunday in Ordinary Time

What an audience Jesus has in today's Gospel! "A great crowd

of his disciples and a large number of people from all over Judea

and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon."

Disciples, pagans, and devout Jews gathered together to hear

Jesus speak in the Sermon on the Mount. All of these people had

something in common. God was someone to be bargained with,

and if God liked you, you were rewarded with good fortune.

This Sunday, Jesus tells us a different story. "Woe to you who

are rich ? who are filled now ? who laugh ? when all speak well

of you. Blessed are you who are poor ? you who are now

hungry ? when people hate you and when they exclude you and

insult you." Jesus completely flips the script on what it means to

be blessed by God. What he proclaims as "woe" are states of life

we often strive for, and "blessed" are the states we work hard to

avoid!

Jesus is concerned with the kingdom of God and the world to

come, not the typical structures of power and privilege. The

word "now" appears often in these statements. Why? If you are

well "now," that's beside the point. To be rich in this life has no

direct bearing on your immortal soul. If you're struggling "now,"

that's not an indication that God has forgotten you or that - in

light of eternity - you're worse off than someone else. In fact, it

could be an indicator that you're enduring something that will

bring you to a place of greater, eternal joy in the future.

This Sunday, consider your priorities. Who do we reject as not

blessed, and thereby inflict woe upon ourselves? When we

encounter difficult situations in our own lives, do we see them

as opportunities to remember God and lean on His mercy and

grace?

Pray for the Deceased

May They Rest In Peace

6º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Dios nos ha creado para caminar

juntos hacia la eternidad. Por

medio de su Único Hijo, nos

muestra el camino de la salvación,

aunque somos libres de escoger

otro camino.

En este domingo las lecturas nos invitan a reflexionar en lo que

es vivir siempre luchando por una sociedad más justa.

El Papa Francisco hizo una meditación para pensar en los que no

tienen ni siquiera lo necesario para vivir. Dice así: ¡Se rinde un

culto idolátrico al dinero! ¡Porque se ha globalizado la

indiferencia!

Se ha globalizado la indiferencia: a mí qué me importa lo que les

pasa a otros mientras yo defienda lo mío.

Porque el mundo se ha olvidado de Dios, que es Padre; se ha

vuelto huérfano porque dejó a Dios de lado.

Algunos de ustedes expresaron: Este sistema ya no se aguanta.

Tenemos que cambiarlo, tenemos que volver a llevar la dignidad

humana al centro y que sobre ese pilar se construyan las

estructuras sociales alternativas que necesitamos. Hay que

hacerlo con coraje, pero también con inteligencia. Con tenacidad,

pero sin fanatismo. Con pasión, pero sin violencia. Y entre todos,

enfrentando los conflictos sin quedar atrapados en ellos,

buscando siempre resolver las tensiones para alcanzar un plano

superior de unidad, de paz y de justicia. Los cristianos tenemos

algo muy lindo, una guía de acción, un programa, podríamos

decir, revolucionario. Les recomiendo vivamente que lo lean, que

lean las bienaventuranzas que están en el capítulo 5 de San

Mateo y 6 de San Lucas, (cfr. Mt 5, 3 y Lc 6, 20) y que lean el

pasaje de Mateo 25, con esas dos cosas tiene el programa de

acción.

¿Qué es la felicidad? ¿Dónde podemos encontrarla?

Estas preguntas nos hacemos en cada generación y en cada cultura. Sin embargo, en nuestra sociedad las respuestas tienen mucho que ver con tener dinero, posesiones materiales, y posiblemente ser famosos. Estas suposiciones vienen del constante bombardeo de publicidad en los medios de comunicación, los cuales nos prometen que si obtenemos tal o cual producto nos harán sentirnos ricos, famosos, y amados. La lectura de Jeremías en la liturgia de hoy nos enfoca en lo que es la verdadera felicidad. Nos dice que la verdadera felicidad usa el formato de la sabiduría utilizando las palabras de las bienaventuranzas: bendito o feliz, y lo contrario a la felicidad es ser "maldito". Puede ser que estas palabras nos alegren o nos asusten, pero lo que el profeta nos quiere decir es que la felicidad consiste en confiar y seguir los caminos de Dios. El cómo hacerlo depende de nosotros. Pero debemos estar seguros: las cosas materiales son pasajeras y las cosas de Dios son para siempre. Así que pensemos: ¿Qué concepto tenemos de la felicidad hoy en día? ¿Qué creemos que nos hará feliz? ¿Qué experiencias de Dios nos han hecho felices? En el Evangelio Jesús nos deja un claro legado en las bienaventuranzas que no son una mera promesa para el futuro; son un anuncio claro que desde todos los tiempos todo y todos tenemos derecho a cambiar, pues el reino de Dios está aquí. Jesús fue el primer bienaventurado porque vivió y murió por amor en una entrega total. Se aventuró bien. Jeremías llama benditos a los que confían en el Señor. Pidamos para tener un espíritu de confianza. ¡Empecemos por ser felices con lo que tenemos!
