TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY

A veces los cristianos preguntamos: ¿qué le pasó a Cristo, durante los tres días de su muerte? La Igle-sia de Asia Menor (la actual Turquía) respondió a esto decorando sus templos con murales bizantinos mostrando escenas principales de la vida de Jesús para instruir a los fieles. Una de estas escenas era la de Jesús entre los muertos. Según los evangelios, a la muerte de Jesús muchas tumbas se abrieron y mu-chos cuerpos de santos resucitaron (Mateo 27:52-53). El símbolo (Credo) de los Apóstoles declara que Jesús descendió a los infiernos. Imágenes anti-guas muestran a Jesucristo entrando triunfalmente al infierno, rompiendo las cadenas de los ahí presentes, tomándolos para llevárselos al cielo. El imaginario cristiano normalmente pinta a Jesús con Adán y Eva. Los toma no de las manos sino del pulso, sim-bolizando que los tiene bien agarrados y nadie, ni el mismo diablo, se los puede quitar. Jesús comparte con todos los difuntos la victoria de su resurrección. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

BÚSQUEDA El Domingo de Pascua es un día para la búsqueda. Las primeras comunidades cristianas se reunían alrededor de los apóstoles para conocer más sobre la vida y el ministerio del Señor Jesús. San Pablo les dijo a los colosenses bautizados que buscaran “las cosas de arriba”. María Magdalena fue a la tumba para encontrar el cuerpo del Señor y ungirlo. Nosotros vamos a la iglesia el Domingo de Pascua buscando muchas cosas. Para algunos de nosotros, este es un trayecto anual cuando buscamos conectarnos con el fundamento de la fe cris-tiana. Para otros, este día es la culminación de una larga tra-yectoria para el arrepentimiento de la Cuaresma. Para los nue-vos bautizados es el primer día de una nueva vida llena de promesas y expectativas. No importa lo que sea que busque-mos, inspirémonos con la acción del discípulo amado de Jesús quien al ver el sudario dentro de la tumba “vio y creyó”. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

El primer domingo de Pascua debió haber sido bien difícil para los apóstoles que habían dedicado tres años de su vida para seguir al hombre que creyeron era el Mesías, sólo para verlo crucificado y enterra-do. Todo parecía perdido. Obsesionados con los sucesos del Viernes Santo les era bien dificultoso al comienzo entender el mensaje de la resurrección. Pero sus ojos y sus corazones se abrieron cuando Jesús mencionó sus nombres, comió con ellos y sopló sobre ellos el don de la paz. Desde ese momento recibieron poder y fueron infundidos de valor y de un entusiasmo nuevo. Con el don del Espíritu Santo comenzaron a ser potentes testigos del mensaje de esperanza y de la vida nueva. Al regocijarnos en la gloria y el poder de la Resurrección llegamos a darnos cuenta de que la victoria de Cristo sobre el pecado y la muerte también puede ser nuestra. Vivamos este día de Pascua con fe y convicción, y así llegaremos a participar por siempre de la plenitud de la resurrección de Cristo. Traducido de Saint Margaret Sunday Missal derechos de autor © J.
