IT’S ALL ABOUT CONTROL
From toddlerhood to old age, we grow in mastery of our own lives, our bodies, and our destiny. This mastery is hard won, and we don’t let go of autonomy easily. Much of this self-mastery involves the avoidance of pain or discom-fort, so when we hear things like “take up your cross” and “lose your life,” we tend to resist the message. James says that faith without

Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
16 de septiembre de 2012 El Señor me ayuda,
por eso no quedaré confundido. — Isaías 50:7
Domingo 24 Tiempo Ordinario. Septiembre 16 Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Nosotros, cristianos convencidos y fieles a nuestra fe, deberemos aprender también lo que nos dice el apóstol Santiago en su carta: ¿De qué le servirá a uno, hermanos míos, decir que tiene fe, si no tiene obras? Es decir, las obras sin fe, no importa lo buenas que sean, no nos permitirán entrar en el cielo. No podemos estar tranquilos y satisfechos pensando que tenemos fe, que creemos en Dios, si después no nos atrevemos a confesarlo, si vivimos a escondidas nuestra fe o si, cuando queremos tener alguna práctica religiosa, vamos a donde no nos conocen; si cuando alguien hace su profesión de incredulidad o ataca la Iglesia o nuestra fe en nuestra presencia, callamos como cobardes y no nos atrevemos a hacer nuestra confesión de fe. Tampoco nos podemos sentir satisfechos pensando que creemos, si apenas tenemos relación con Dios excepto cuando nos hallamos en grandes apuros, si no celebramos con la comunidad aquella fe que decimos tener. ¿De qué nos serviría decir que tenemos fe si no lo demostramos con obras de sacrificio, de amor y caridad, si, cuando se trata de superar las dificultades de la vida, de ofrecer una ayuda o de compartir nuestros bienes buscásemos una excusa para evadirnos? La fe es prácticamente la aceptación de la respuesta de Dios. El hombre al descubrir la respuesta amorosa y misericordiosa de Dios como don, como gracia se adhiere a ella con todo su ser marcado por la voluntad, la libertad y la inteligencia. Este regalo que todos recibimos, desata un crecimiento en nosotros como hijos de Dios y como creyentes. La fe encierra una dinámica interior que se hace necesaria para la salvación: “El que crea y sea bautizado, se salvará; el que no crea, se condenará”. El proceso desatado por la fe lo podemos resumir en estas frases simples, pero significativas: Si creer es aceptar en la mente y con el corazón la propuesta de Dios debemos conocer lo que aceptamos; amar lo que conocemos; vivir lo que amamos; celebrar lo que vivimos; anunciar lo que celebramos. Luego de escuchar la palabra de Dios es bueno revisar nuestro comportamiento de personas de fe para no quedarnos ni en un exagerado espiritualismo, sólo fe, ni en el activismo humanitario, sólo obras, sino que sepamos traducir nuestra fe en obras, convencidos de que la fe sin obras es una fe muerta, y que las obras sin el apoyo de la fe, no nos llevan a la vida eterna. P. Jairo

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Este año hemos estado reflexionando sobre algunas tradiciones latinoamericanas de nuestra fe. Creo que sería bueno reflexionar también sobre lo que es la Tradición y lo que son las tradiciones. En muchas ocasiones durante mi formación religiosa mis maestros me advertían de no confundir la Tradición en mayúscula con la tradición en minúscula.
“¿Cuál es la diferencia?”, preguntaba. Y de seguro algunos de ustedes se lo estarán preguntando también. Según el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica (CIC 75-83) los Apóstoles transmitieron el Evangelio de Jesucristo de manera escrita y de manera oral. El Evangelio escrito nos ha llegado en forma del Nuevo Testamento, en especial por los cuatro Evangelios. El Evangelio oral nos ha llegado por lo que llamamos la Tradición; ésta nos llega por la predicación, la vida y el ejemplo de los Apóstoles.

LANZARNOS A LO IMPOSIBLE Entrénanos, Señor, a lanzarnos a lo imposible, porque detrás de lo imposible está tu gracia y tu presencia. . . Nuestro camino se interna en la niebla, pero queremos seguir dándonos, porque Tú estás esperando en la noche, con mil ojos humanos rebosando lágrimas. —Luis Espinal, sacerdote asesinado en Bolivia
