"Y Moisés hizo una serpiente de bronce y la puso sobre

un asta. Luego, cuando alguien era mordido por una

serpiente y miraba a la serpiente de bronce, vivía."

Números 21: 9

"... Así es necesario que el Hijo del Hombre sea

levantado" Jn 03:14

¿Qué podemos hacer de este evento bastante extraño en

Números? Lo que causó su muerte (la mordedura de

serpiente, el pecado, el mal, quejándose contra Dios),

cuando se miraban en ella (la serpiente de bronce) se

convirtió en su cura (la vida, la curación). Jesús usa este

imagen para hablar de su propia crucifixión inminente

(se levantó). El camino a la vida abundante es

contemplar nuestros pecados y reconocerlos y creer en

la misericordia, el amor, de Dios nuestro Padre. El gran

símbolo del pecado (muerte, tortura, insulto,

deshumanizante, degradantes) es la cruz. La paradoja es

que es a través de la cruz (fijando la mirada en el

pecado) que Dios derrama su misericordia y perdón.

Estamos llamados a reconocer nuestro pecado ("No

endurezcáis vuestro corazón").

September September September September 14, 2014 Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy CrossFeast of the Exaltation of the Holy CrossFeast of the Exaltation of the Holy CrossFeast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

“So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a

pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and

looked at the bronze snake, they lived.” Num 21:9

“…so must the Son of Man be lifted up” Jn 3:14

What can we make of this rather bizarre event in

Numbers? The thing that caused their death

(the serpent bite, sin, evil, complaining against God),

when they gazed upon it (the bronze snake) became

their cure (life, healing). Jesus uses this image to

speak about his own impending crucifixion (being

lifted up). The way to abundant life is to gaze upon

our sins and recognize and acknowledge them

and believe in the mercy, the love, of God our Father.

The great symbol of sin (death, torture, insult, dehu-

manizing, degrading) is the cross. The paradox is that

it is through the cross (looking upon our sin) that God

pours out His mercy and forgiveness. We are called

to acknowledge our sin (“harden not your heart”).
