Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,

Last week we heard the Lord in the Gospel according to St. Mark urging us to uproot the evil inclinations in our hearts as a necessary condition to be pure, to be clean, for uncleanliness, impurity does not come from without but is the fruit of our internal dispositions.Not that the Lord is indifferent to our actions, He desires that we be pure, we have heard Him many times tell us so. In the Sermon on the Mount, for example, we are told to be perfect, just as our heavenly Father is. But this moral perfection that the Lord commands us to seek is neither disembodied nor a matter of appearance much less self-righteousness, but holiness, which can be achieved with the help of grace, or better still, can only be fully real-ized in our lives when we open our hearts to the grace of God that is offered to us as pure gift. What we do matters, not because we can impress anybody with our actions or merit anything or lay a claim against God, but simply because our actions are the incarnate expression of an inner disposition. Our beautiful Catholic faith is based upon the mystery of the Incarnation of the Eternal Word of God in the person of Jesus Christ and by that very fact, everything that is truly human is now a vehicle for communion with God. Of course, in Christ we see the perfect man, whereas in each one of us humanity is wounded and broken, in need of healing. Our hearts are in need of conversion. That is also the reason why the Lord offers us sacramental grace and other resources that we may be made whole and become more and more like Christ. Each and every single human being shares with us and with Christ in our common humanity. Everybody, except the Blessed Virgin Mary who was conceived without sin, has been hurt in one way or another by original sin, our own personal sin or the sin of others. Baptism cleanses us from original sin, but the scars remain, our intellect is clouded, our will is weak, that is what traditionally has been called concupiscence, the fact that we struggle to do good and often find ourselves falling into temptation.Incidentally, in the celebration of Baptism there is a rite called Ephpheta, one of the most moving to me, where the priest touches the ears and the mouth of the baby, while saying, “The Lord Jesus made the deaf hear and the dumb speak. May He soon touch your ears to receive his word and your mouth to proclaim his faith, to the praise and glory of God the Father.” Indeed, Baptism heals us so that we can become another Christ, not just overcoming our sinful condition, radically healing the broken human nature in us, but also so that we may be light to others. We have a duty towards others because by virtue of our common humanity, every single human being is my broth-er and sister, because we all share in the same human nature, embraced by God, who became what He is not that all of us may have life in Him. It is sometimes difficult to realize that every single human being is our brother and sister, especially when we are hurting because of somebody else’s actions or when we are scared of somebody we do not know. When we come face to face with another person we sometimes forget that human beings are a mys-tery, created in the image and likeness of God, who have an intrinsic and infinite dignity that is to be scrupulously respected regardless of their situation in life and any other consideration. Our contemporary culture tends to value people because of their power, their fame, their wealth or their looks, but none of those dimensions are part of our core. The most important dimension of our humanity is our humanity itself created in the image and likeness of God. This week the Apostle James reminds us that the Lord does not judge by appearances or is concerned by the exter-nal dimension of our being and neither should we. Unlike crooked judges who show partiality and allow themselves to be impressed by demonstrations of power, the Lord treats everyone with love, care and respect, manifesting His love even to those who do not love Him and those whom, in the eyes of the world, seem worthless. So must we. In a world where, as Pope Francis constantly reminds us, people tend to be considered disposable, mere resources or objects and even baby organs are the object of commerce, it is important to realize that every single human being is worthy because each one of us share in our common humanity. At a time when the dominant ideology denies the existence of such thing as human nature, we must affirm with our actions the infinite dignity of our nature, which is given to us as pure gift to be treasured and developed to the full, not a yoke to be rejected and trampled upon.The suffering servant in the book of the prophet Isaiah does not even look as a man yet by his wounds heals us. The Lord Jesus on the cross emptied himself of His humanity that our broken human nature may be healed and we may participate in his divinity. That possibility is open to every human being, pure and simply because of our human nature, not because of the power we may hold, personal wealth, age, health, productivity or fame. Further-more, it is open to everyone of us regardless of what we may have done in the past. The Lord looks deep into our hearts and sees our humanity as he intends it to be, similar to that of Christ. He desires to restore in us His image disfigured by sin, that we might be a light to others and glorify God with our humanity.

Queridos hermanos en Cristo:

La semana pasada escuchamos al Señor en el Evangelio según san Marcos exhortándonos a erradicar el mal de nuestro corazón como condición necesaria para alcanzar la pureza, para estar limpios, porque la impureza no proviene del exterior sino que es fruto de nuestras disposiciones interiores.El Señor no es indiferente a lo que hacemos, desea que seamos puros, lo hemos escuchado muchas veces de sus labios. En el Sermón de la Montaña, por ejemplo, nos dice que seamos perfectos como nuestro Padre celestial es perfecto. Pero esta perfección moral que el Señor quiere que busquemos no es desencarnada ni tampoco una cuestión de apariencia, mucho menos de superioridad sobre otros, sino que se trata de la santidad, que puede alcanzarse con la ayuda de la gracia, o mejor dicho, solamente puede realizarse plenamente en nuestras vidas cu-ando abrimos el corazón a la gracia de Dios que se nos ofrece como puro don.No es que lo hagamos importe porque podamos impresionar a la gente con nuestras acciones, merecer algo, o reclamarle algo a Dios, sino sencillamente porque nuestras acciones son expresión encarnada de una disposición interior. Nuestra hermosa fe católica se funda en el misterio de la Encarnación de la Palabra Eterna de Dios en la persona de Cristo y, precisamente por ello, todo lo que es verdaderamente humano se convierte en vehículo de comunión con Dios.Claro está que en Cristo vemos el hombre perfecto, mientras que en todos nosotros la humanidad está herida y quebrantada, necesitada de sanación. Nuestros corazones necesitan conversión. Por ese motivo el Señor nos ofrece la gracia de los sacramentos y otros recursos para que podamos ser sanados y parecernos cada vez más a Cristo.Todos y cada uno de nosotros comparte con el otro y con Cristo nuestra común humanidad. Todos, excepto la Santísima Virgen María que fue concebida sin pecado, estamos heridos de una u otra manera por el pecado origi-nal, por nuestro pecado personal y por el pecado de los otros. El Bautismo nos limpia del pecado original, pero quedan la cicatrices, nuestro intelecto está oscurecido, nuestra voluntad debilitada y eso es lo que llamamos tradi-cionalmente concupiscencia, el hecho que nos cueste hacer el bien y que muchas veces nos encontremos cayendo en tentación.Dicho sea de paso, en la celebración del Bautismo hay un rito llamado Effetá, que me resulta conmovedor, en el que el sacerdote toca las orejas y la boca del niño mientras dice: “El Señor Jesús hizo oír a los sordos y hablar a los mudos, te permita, muy pronto, escuchar su Palabra y profesar la fe para gloria y alabanza de Dios Padre.” Así es, el Bautismo nos sana para que podamos ser otro Cristo. No solamente nos ayuda a sobreponernos a nuestra condición pecadora, sanando radicalmente la humanidad quebrantada en nosotros, sino que también nos prepara para ser luz para los otros.Tenemos un deber hacia el otro en virtud de nuestra común humanidad. Todo ser humano es mi hermano y mi hermana porque todos compartimos la misma naturaleza humana, asumida por Dios, quien se hizo lo que no es para que tengamos vida en Él. A veces nos resulta difícil darnos cuenta que todo ser humano es mi hermano, especialmente cuando estamos heridos por las acciones de otro o porque tenemos miedo de alguien que no conocemos. Cuando nos encontramos con otra persona, a veces olvidamos que los seres humanos somos un misterio, creado a imagen y semejanza de Dios, que tenemos una dignidad intrínseca infinita que debe ser respetada escrupulosamente independientemente de nuestra situación en la vida y cualquier otra consideración. Nuestra cultura contemporánea tiende a valorar a la gente por su poder, su fama, su patrimonio o su aspecto, pero ninguna de esas dimensiones forma parte de nuestro núcleo. La dimensión más importante de nuestra humanidad es nuestra humanidad misma, creada a imagen y semejanza de Dios.El apóstol Santiago nos recuerda esta semana que el Señor no juzga por apariencias ni le importa la dimensión exterior de nuestro ser. Tampoco nos debería interesar a nosotros. A diferencia de los jueces venales que se fijan en la dimensión externa y se dejan impresionar por demostraciones de poder, el Señor trata a todos con amor, cariño y respeto, manifestando su amor aún hacia aquellos que no lo aman y aquellos que, en los ojos del mundo, son considerados inútiles. Así debemos actuar nosotros. En un mundo en el que, como nos recuerda con frecuencia el Papa Francisco, la gente tiende a ser considerada descartable, simples recursos u objetos y hasta los órganos de los bebés son objeto de comercio, es importante darse cuenta que todos y cada ser humano es valioso porque todos participamos en nuestra común humanidad. En momentos que la ideología dominante niega la existencia de la naturaleza humana, debemos afirmar con nuestras acciones la dignidad infinita de nuestra naturaleza que se nos ofrece como puro don y que debe ser atesorada y desarrollada al máximo, nunca considerada un yugo a ser rechazado y pisoteado.El siervo sufriente del libro del profeta Isaías ni siquiera parece un hombre, sin embargo sus heridas nos sanan. El Señor Jesús en la cruz se despojó de su humanidad para que la humanidad quebrantada en nosotros pudiera ser sanada y pudiéramos participar en su divinidad. Esa posibilidad está abierta a todo ser humano, lisa y llanamente por ser humano, no por el poder que pudiera tener, su patrimonio, edad, salud, productividad o fama. Más aún, está abierta a todos independientemente de lo que hayamos hecho en el pasado. El Señor mira en la profundidad de nuestro corazón y ve nuestra humanidad como Él la pensó, similar a la de Cristo. Desea restaurar en nosotros su imagen desfigurada por el pecado, para que seamos luz para otros y glorifiquemos a Dios con nuestra humani-dad.
