Fear no one! Jesus tells us today, “Fear no one.” A couple of days ago a friend of mine messaged me on Facebook ask-ing, “Are we living in end times?” I an-swered her, “No we are not!” Then I re-ferred to Paul’s second letter to the Thes-salonians. Paul writes, “Let no one de-ceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes
first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God…And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way” (2 Thess 2:3-7).
Who should we fear? What should we not fear? We must fear God. Fear of God is the holy fear (Ex 20: 20; Phil 2:12). God alone administers judgement. We must also fear the evil one and must be resisted. This fear is for the sake of not losing our union and friendship with God. On-ly destruction and lawlessness remain with him. He is our worst enemy (Eph 6: 11; Jas 4:7; 1 Pet 5:8-10). I think, we should see fear and freedom together. In freedom we are called to choose God. In freedom we are called to love him. In our freedom we are called to preserver in faith. Where the Spirit of the Lord, there is freedom! (2 Cor 3:17). In my childhood Catechism book, I saw a picture of a tree planted between a river on one side and the huge garbage pit on the other. The tree leans towards the pit as it grows. The question under the picture was, “Where would this tree fall when it dies?” The answer given was, “It will fall down where it leans as it grows!” We live in
an imperfect world and we act and behave as per our weaknesses. We also have the goodness that God has in-stilled in us. Moreover, God has given us his own Spirit through the sacraments. Jesus, as lived in our human na-ture has shown that there is nothing impossible when it comes to choose God and do His will. He is our way, truth and the life. Did Jesus fear? Of course, he did! He sweat blood in the Garden of Gethsemane. He told the disciples that the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak (Mt 26:41). Did Jesus trust God more than he was sorrowful and troubled? His trust in God was so tremendous that he walked the path of the cross and died; showed the world that the God whom He trusted rose Him back.
During this time of darkness and a lot of unrest, Jesus’ words come to us, consoling us and encouraging us, “Fear no one!” Fear not this world. Fear not any human agent who can bring about destruction or even death. We are called to trust in God through Jesus and His Spirit who continues the mission of Jesus in the world. The God whom we trust is not an anonymous God, formless and transcendent. We believe in God in His Son, Jesus our Lord. He lives with us in his glorified body. We encounter Him at every Mass. We live in a world where God lives with us. That is the truth of our faith in the Eucharist. Let each day of ours be a day of joyfulness and peace for our God is a God of mercy and love. Let each of us encourage one another choosing the good and resisting the evil.
In Christ,
Fr. Sengole Gnanaraj

Este pasado domingo 14 de junio del 2020, celebramos la Solemnidad del Corpus Christi; el Evangelio de este día es el de San Juan capítulo 6 del 51 al 58. En aquél tiempo dijo Jesús a los discípulos Yo soy el pan vivo que ha bajado del cielo el que coma de éste pan, vivirá para siempre y el pan que yo daré es mi carne, por la vida del mundo. Discutían los judíos entre sí: “¿Cómo puede éste darnos a comer su carne?” Entonces Jesús les dijo: “En verdad, en verdad les digo, si no comen la carne del hijo del hombre, y no beben su sangre, no tienen vida en ustedes, el que come mi carne y bebe mi san-gre, tiene vida eterna; y yo lo resucitaré en el último día, mi carne es verdadera comida, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida. El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre habita en mí y yo en él”. Como el padre que vive me ha enviado y yo vivo por el Padre. Así del mismo modo, el que me come vivirá por mí, este es el pan que ha bajado del cielo, no como el de sus pa-dres que lo comieron y murieron, el que come este pan vivirá para siempre. Palabra del Señor. Gloria a tí, Señor Jesús. Cierto día, nos cuenta el evangelio, que Jesús dejaba la ciudad de Jericó para seguir su camino hacia Jerusalén, y pasó cerca de un ciego que pedía limosna junto al camino, y éste al oír el ruido de la pequeña comitiva que acompañaba pues al maes-tro, preguntó qué era aquéllo, y quienes le rodeaban le con-testaron: “ Es Jesús de Nazaret que pasa”. En este domingo de Corpus Christi a la par en otros años en nuestros templos, en nuestras calles, en nuestras ciudades y aldeas, veredas, ca-seríos; se lleva en procesión a Jesús Sacramentado, y cuánta gente seguro por ahí un poco desconectada de la realidad de fé y de vida cristiana, preguntaría: ¿Qué es lo que ocurre? Y yo creo que se le podría contestar con las mismas palabras que le dijeron a Bartimeo: “Es Jesús de Nazaret que pasa”, es el mismo que recorre las calles recibiendo el homenaje de nuestra fé y de nuestro amor. Esta occasion, seguramente lo haremos a través de la television, o a través de la Internet, pero igual creo que lo maravilloso, lo más hermoso es exaltar al señor que pasa por casa, que pasa por la propia vida, y es el mismo Señor. Y como Bartimeo también se nos debería en-cender el corazón para gritar: ¡ Jesús hijo de David, ten pie-dad de mí! Y el Señor que pasa bendiciendo y haciendo el bien tendrá compasión de nuestra ceguera, y de tantos males de esta pan-demia, de esta situación que vivimos inclusive del pecado que pesa en el alma, esta celebración del día de hoy del Corpus Christi quiere romper el silencio misterioso que circunda a la Eucaristía, y tributarle un triunfo que sobrepasa el muro de las iglesias, de los templos para invadir tu casa, para infundir el sentido de la alegría de la presencia de Cristo silencioso y vivo en tu vida, y esto debe llenarnos de alegría. ¡Cantemos hoy al amor de los amores! ¡Cantemos al Señor! ¡Dios está aquí! ¡Venid y adoremos a Cristo Redentor! En este día el Señor toma posesión de tu casa y que la piedad y tu fé sean las flores y ramos en esta fiesta tan bellísima. María Auxilio de los cristianos, ruega por nosotros. Padre Manuel Penagos. Rector del Seminario México.Nos deja una reflexión muy Hermosa: Juan 14:23-29. El que me ama guardará mi palabra y mi Padre lo amará y vendremos a él y haremos su morada en él.
