B i e n v e n i d o s ! Damos la bienvenida a todos los recién llegados a nuestra familia Parroquial. Si desea inscribirse en Corpus Christi,
por favor llamar a la oficina Parroquial ó preguntarle a un ujier antes o después de Misa.
Homilía De Hoy
Puede que sea difícil valorar completamente el alcance del sufrimiento que el
pueblo judío padeció durante los años de su exilio en Babilonia. El ejército de
Nabucodonosor había derrotado a Judá, el templo fue destruido y el pueblo fue
deportado de la tierra prometida. Hubiese sido fácil perder las esperanzas sin
saber por cuánto tiempo estarían sin hogar. El autor de esta sección del libro de
Isaías escribió durante estos tiempos sombríos. Hubiese sido natural escribir una
diatriba o un lamento, pero este autor escribió un mensaje de esperanza, un
libro de consolación, tal como es denominado a menudo. Probablemente le haya
ofrecido consuelo a los fieles dándoles una visión redentora. Esa misma visión
puede reanimarnos hoy a nosotros cuando sufrimos pruebas en
nuestra propia vida.
El autor de la segunda carta de Pedro escribió durante una era interesante. Más o
menos una centena de años después de la resurrección, los cristianos esperaban
que Jesús regrese glorioso cualquier día. Aún creemos esto, pero no nos
sorprende cuando pasan los años y aun toda nuestra vida sin que eso suceda.
Durante ese tiempo del siglo dos, los cristianos iban aceptando gradualmente que la segunda venida del Señor no se iba a realizer a la vuelta de la esquina. Esto pudo haber llevado a los fieles a la consternación y a ser víctimas de burla por parte de los no creyentes. La segunda carta de Pedro hace la salvedad de que la perspectiva de Dios en cuanto al tiempo no se parece en nada a la nuestra, o sea, que “un día” pueden ser “mil años” (2 Pedro 3:8) y después atribuye esta tardanza como signo de la paciencia de Dios, que nos da el tiempo para arrepentirnos y crecer en santidad.
A fin de preparar a las personas para la venida de Jesús, Juan el
Bautista las invita a arrepentirse y a recibir el perdón. Las aguas del río Jordán simbolizaban la limpieza del pecado que el bautismo le daba al creyente. También simbolizaban una vida renovada después de atravesar la sequía del desierto, tal como sucedió con Juan, con Isaías, con el pueblo exilado y aún con nosotros hoy.
Pregunta de la Semana ¿De qué maneras siento mi sequía espiritual o emocional? ¿Cómo puede la
presencia de Jesús satisfacer mi sed? ¿Cómo puedo prepararme para la
venida de Cristo?
