Theme: “I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those
who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father” (Gospel).
If the Sermon on the Mount constitutes the central teaching of Jesus Christ, then it is important for us Christians to get this right. “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” commands Jesus. Probably what Proverbs says, “Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice” (24:17) is easier to follow. But the command to love enemies is humanly impossible and impractically doable. But how can we call ourselves Christians if we cannot follow the heart of Christ’s teachings? The litmus test of faith in Jesus rests on fidelity to follow his command to love enemies.
In this sense, Jesus teachings are not easy. It is meant to challenge the capacity of the human heart to rise above hate and division. St. Paul reminds us of the original state of our being as God’s temple. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy” (1 Cor. 3:16-17). The grace of healing and forgiveness can only grow in a heart that recognizes God in obedience to His will and love.
When a person is driven by anger, revenge, and jealousy, nothing good can come out of it except to satisfy one’s evil desires or personal justice. Hatred expresses the worse of us and ruins the soul. “Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against any of your people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18). Redemption in Christ happens when we accede to the will and desires of God who loves us.
The Gospel concludes, “So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Tall order, yes but it is the path to genuine discipleship. After all, if the ultimate purpose of life is to be with God, loving like Jesus does is a certain way to achieve it.
Let us pray: Almighty God, create a new heart for us so we can love the way you love. Jesus, Son of God, teach us forgiveness so we can forgive all who offended us. Holy Spirit, strengthen us in our resolve to remain faithful in following God’s will, Amen.
Séptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 23 de febrero de 2020
Tema: "Te digo, ama a tus enemigos y reza por los que te persiguen, para que seas hijos de tu Padre celestial" (Evangelio).
Si el Sermón del Monte constituye la enseñanza central de Jesucristo, entonces es importante para nosotros los cristianos hacer esto bien. "Ama a tus enemigos y reza por los que te persiguen,” ordena Jesús. Probablemente lo que dice Proverbios: “No te regodees cuando cae tu enemigo; cuando tropiecen, no dejes que tu corazón se regocije” (24:17) es más fácil de seguir. Pero la orden de amar a los enemigos es humanamente imposible y poco factible. Pero, ¿cómo podemos llamarnos cristianos si no podemos seguir el corazón de las enseñanzas de Cristo? La prueba de fuego de la fe en Jesús se basa en la fidelidad para seguir su mandato de amar a los enemigos.
En este sentido, las enseñanzas de Jesús no son fáciles. Su objetivo es desafiar la capacidad del corazón humano para superar el odio y la división. San Pablo nos recuerda el estado original de nuestro ser como templo de Dios. “¿No sabes que eres el templo de Dios y que el Espíritu de Dios habita en ti? Si alguien destruye el templo de Dios, Dios destruirá a esa persona; porque el templo de Dios que tú eres es santo” (1 Cor. 3: 16-17). La gracia de la curación y el perdón solo puede crecer en un corazón que reconoce a Dios en obediencia a su voluntad y amor.
Cuando una persona es impulsada por la ira, la venganza y los celos, nada bueno puede salir de ella, excepto para satisfacer los malos deseos o la justicia personal. El odio expresa lo peor de nosotros y arruina el alma. “No te vengues y no guardes rencor contra ninguno de tu gente. Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo” (Levítico 19:18). La redención en Cristo ocurre cuando accedemos a la voluntad y los deseos de Dios que nos ama.
El Evangelio concluye: "Sé perfecto, así como tu Padre celestial es perfecto.” Alto orden, sí, pero es el camino hacia el verdadero discipulado. Después de todo, si el propósito final de la vida es estar con Dios, amar como lo hace Jesús es una cierta manera de lograrlo.
Oremos: Dios Todopoderoso, crea un nuevo corazón para nosotros para que podamos amar de la manera que tú amas. Jesús, Hijo de Dios, enséñanos el perdón para que podamos perdonar a todos los que nos ofendieron. Espíritu Santo, fortalécenos en nuestra determinación de permanecer fieles en seguir la voluntad de Dios, Amén.
Pastoral Reflection By Harry J. Perez, Pastoral Council Member
As we all face adversity everyday we must hold on to, through our faith, the reality that God really does exist and that he truly loves us; his children. Just as Moses also came to the conclusion that God exists and that he wanted Moses to lead, nurture and care for his people, we too are being asked to follow in Moses’s footsteps and do the same. God wants us to be a shining example, as to how to be true Christians. And just as God asked Moses to remind us that in order to truly love God, we, God’s children, must also love our neighbor, for our neighbor is God’s child as well. It is my thought that the answer to all our troubles in this world is very simple: if your about to do something for or against your neighbor and you would not want that done to you, then you will know that it is wrong. It is like oil and water; love and hate do not mix well together. Today’s gospel remains us, that the sun will rise again tomorrow “on the bad and good and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust,” as well, for it is not for us to judge our neighbor not even ourselves. History has repeatedly shown us that the spirit of the free, will always triumph over those who choose to trample over the meek and humble. The spirit of the free is comprised of the Holy Spirit and Humanity working together to achieve God’s mission on earth. “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.” To know and love the Lord is to fear losing that love that he has for us. We must endeavor to stay in the grace of God, for not to do so puts us in the loneliness place in the universe. It’s a hell of a place to be.
