FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Zephaniah 2:3, 3:12-13 Zephaniah prophesies that the Lord will punish wicked nations along with Jerusalem, but he will shelter from his anger those who practice justice and humility and do no wrong. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Paul tells the Corinthians that God prefers the humble, the weak, the lowly of station – people like themselves. In Christ Jesus they will find wisdom, honor and justice. Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12a Jesus teaches the Beatitudes in his Sermon on the Mount. He extols those who are merciful, peaceful, lowly, poor in spirit and promises them that “the reign of God is theirs.”

CUARTO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO El comienzo del Evangelio de hoy le hubiera señalado a la audiencia judía de Mateo que la enseñanza de Jesús era de suprema importancia y en continuidad con la Torá. Jesús “subió al monte”, “se sentó” y “comenzó” (textualmente “abrió su boca:” una rica imagen bíblica asociada con una enseñanza de inspiración divina) “a enseñarles”. Aunque cada una de las bienaventuranzas le hace eco a Isaías o a los salmos, o a una literatura judía de la sabiduría —y he aquí la continuidad— aquí había algo radicalmente nuevo. Moisés le transmitió al pueblo lo que había recibido de Dios, pero Jesús habla con su propia autoridad. Hoy sabemos que Jesús no sólo enseñó las bienaventuranzas, sino que también las vivió. Jesús subió al monte cuando vio a la muchedumbre, pero una vez que se sentó a enseñar, sólo sus discípulos vinieron a escuchar. Por lo tanto, sus discípulos (nosotros) somos los que Jesús espera que le imitemos en la forma en que él vivió las bienaventuranzas a fin de convertirnos en evangelizadores de “la muchedumbre” o, como diría el Papa Francisco, de las “periferias”. ¿Debería alarmarnos cuán pocos responden al reto de las bienaventuranzas de Jesús? La primera lectura con su énfasis en la promesa de Dios cumplida para los humildes y para un puñado de gente pobre, sugiere valor y esperanza, no desaliento ni desesperación. ¿Debe descorazonarnos que a nosotros, los que aceptamos la verdad de la Torá de Jesús, se nos haga tan difícil la vida? La segunda lectura nos recuerda que la gracia de Dios, operante en nosotros, puede darnos la fuerza para aceptar la sabiduría de Cristo y ser testigos de ella para los demás.
