Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the power of your love enable them to return home in safety, that with all who love them, they may ever praise you for your loving care. We ask this through Christ our

THE MESSIAH FORETOLD Today’s story of the cure of a deaf man with a speech impediment is a good example of how much is con-tained in a simple miracle story. The Greek word mogilalos appears only here in all of the New Testa-ment. It is a technical term referring to someone with a stammer. It is also used only once in the entire Jewish scriptures, in the passage that we read today as our first read-ing from Isaiah. Clearly, by his choice of this precise word Mark wants us to recognize that what Jesus is doing is the fulfillment of what Isaiah had predicted centuries earlier. In fact, Mark wants us to
Turning the calendar page to September marks a new beginning in the lives of many who live by the academic year. Traditionally the start of the school year in the United States, this month can bring to mind the many calendars by which we live. There are fiscal years, academic years, television seasons, sports seasons—the list seems endless. Add-ed to all of these is, of course, the liturgical year.

Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
9 de septiembre de 2012 ¿Acaso no ha elegido Dios a los pobres de este mundo
para hacerlos ricos en la fe y herederos del Reino? — Santiago 2:5
Domingo 23 Tiempo Ordinario. Septiembre 9, 2012 Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios En la antigüedad, a los que se preparaban para el bautismo se los llamaba catecúmenos, palabra griega que significa literalmente: «los que escuchan», o sea, los que tienen los oídos abiertos. Y no solamente se les permita escuchar la Palabra de Dios, sino también hacer profesión de su fe, soltándoseles la lengua para proclamar el padrenuestro y el credo. Toda la preparación del catecúmeno iba encaminada, pues a liberar al hombre abriendo su oído y soltando su lengua. Podemos ahora preguntarnos qué implica esta liberación que nos trae Jesucristo y reflexionar, en primer lugar, sobre la sordera del espíritu.
Fundamentalmente es un cerrarse totalmente a Dios y a los demás. Se refiere a la persona que edifica su vida teniéndose en cuenta sólo a sí misma. Vive como si estuviera sola en una isla, los demás son un estorbo. El sordo espiritual está cerrado al punto de vista de los demás y es incapaz de mirar una verdad desde otro punto de vista. Es un sectario, tiene su verdad como si fuese la única, como norma de vida; es rebelde en sus ideas, es un fanático. No escucha razones ni quiere escucharlas. Los sordos de espíritu pueden concurrir todos los domingos a misa, escuchar la predicación, hacer oración, leer la Biblia o determinado libro. Pero nada hay en sus vidas que haga pensar que están realizando algún cambio.
Jesucristo el Señor nos libera de esta sordera del espíritu. Nos da la capacidad de escuchar. Más aún, nos da la libertad para escuchar. Para poder escuchar necesitamos liberarnos de nosotros mismos, del miedo a enfrentarnos con la verdad. Un hombre interiormente libre no teme enfrentarse con palabra alguna, así venga de Dios o del demonio, de la derecha o de la izquierda. Por eso el auténtico cristiano, gozando de esta libertad, es capaz de ponerse en contacto con sus hermanos en la fe para compartir y acoger sus ideas y pensamientos, en un ambiente de comprensión y respeto porque quiere buscar con sinceridad la verdad y alcanzar su propio crecimiento espiritual.
Concluyendo... Cuando fuimos bautizados, pequeños aún, Cristo nos llamó a la libertad para escuchar y para hablar. Hoy tomamos conciencia de cuántas cosas implica dicha libertad, y cómo esa libertad interior es la base para el diálogo y la comunicación. Hoy se nos urge a este mutuo esfuerzo de escuchar a los demás desde el corazón, y de comunicar nuestra palabra con humildad y valentía. Esta libertad interior es el signo de que Jesús es el Salvador y de que somos sus seguidores. P. Jairo
