SAINT MONICA PARISH
Gospel Meditation From the time we are born into this world until we die, our
human radar picks up signals about how to respond to life. What we picked up on when we
were very young carries an even greater power. The messages we receive and process tell
us what we are “supposed” to do with our feelings, how to understand and cope with disap-
pointment, anxiety, failure, death, illness, and what to expect out of life. As life unfolds for us,
these radar messages kick in and resonate in us at very deep levels. Sometimes what we
have learned is helpful and sometimes it is not. The stories we have been told, especially
when we are young, about how life is best lived and how to negotiate its pain carry a heavy
weight.
Life can be challenging and frightening. Sometimes, it really hurts to be a human being. It
also can be quite unpredictable and, at times, unfair. We face our vulnerability and broken-
ness of all kinds: physical, emotional, and spiritual. It doesn’t take much for life to quickly fall
apart. What we knew to be familiar and true is gone and something we relied upon, physical-
ly, emotionally, or spiritually, can be taken away. It is hard to confront our limitations and sit
with our incompleteness. Often, life hurts us so much that we find ourselves sitting in a pool
of sadness, not sure what we are supposed to do. It is particularly hard when the signals we
have inherited tell us that we need to be successful in what we do, and we have to avoid
life’s unfairness. We can feel like a failure, wondering what precisely we did to deserve this
fate, or ruminate about what we did not do correctly. But it’s really not about us. We are part
of a bigger picture and a much more fascinating story!
If we cease doing battle with life’s incompleteness and see ourselves, as God does, on a
journey toward wholeness and completeness we can better accept our disappointments and
stand firm. The prophets told us, and Jesus reassured us: Be strong! Fear not! Sometimes
we have to update our stories and replace them with newer, more accurate ones. When we
make God’s story our own and tune our radar into His voice, what we hear is all about resto-
ration, healing, and rejuvenation! This is true even when we think we have hit rock bottom
and can go no further. There is always hope. Remember the words of Julian of Norwich: God
made us, God loves us, and God keeps us. Now, listen to God when He says, “be opened!”
Be healed and allow your stories to change.

Meditación del Evangelio “Debemos esforzarnos en abrir el corazón y la
mente, para acoger la realidad divina que viene a nuestro encuentro. Se trata de
tener fe: la falta de fe es un obstáculo para la gracia de Dios” (Papa Francisco
(8/7/2018). El Profeta Isaías lo proclama así: “Entonces los ojos de los ciegos se
despegarán, y los oídos de los sordos se abrirán, los cojos saltarán como cabritos y
la lengua de los mudos gritará de alegría” (Isaías 35:5-6). Las tres lecturas de la
liturgia de hoy están impregnadas de signos, gestos y palabras que manifiestan la
salvación de Dios.
Solo necesitamos fe y creer en el “Effetá”, que quiere decir ábrete. Los débiles, los
enfermos y los pobres ocupan un lugar privilegiado en el Reino de Dios. Jesús lo
demuestra hoy con el milagro de curar al sordomudo. Todos se admiraban y decían:
“Todo lo ha hecho bien; hace oír a los sordos y hablar a los mudos” (Marcos 7:37).
Ayúdanos, Señor, a que se nos suelte la lengua para hacer el bien, para decir te
quiero, lo siento mucho, para defender a los sin voz. Ayúdanos, Señor, y ábrenos
los oídos a las quejas de los que sufren, a los gritos de los inmigrantes que buscan
justicia, a la voz de los que piden trabajo. Que, a ejemplo de Jesús, que ama a to-
dos por igual, aprendamos a no tener favoritismos en nuestras formas de actuar en
la familia y en la sociedad. Que en este tiempo difícil nos mostremos solícitos y cer-
canos con los que más lo necesiten. ¡Que así sea!
