Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time
(Readings: Sirach 15:15-20 —1 Corinthians 2:6-10 — Matthew 5:17-37 ) Hammer and Pincers — Among the most distinctive features of the Apparition of Our Lady of La Sal-ette, as you well know, are the hammer and pincers on either side of the crucifix. We are used to seeing
them attached to the cross, but in fact they were not. People seeing these for the first time always ask what they mean. You are familiar with the traditional interpretation, but I think it might be more helpful to re-
spond with another question. Supposing Mary simply showed herself to the children without saying a word, how would we understand her purpose? Carpenters tools in and of themselves would have no special meaning. But, as they are associated with the Crucified One, they must have a connection with the Passion of Jesus. And they served opposite purposes. It is no wonder that they have always been explained as call-ing us to choose between “life and death, good and evil,” as we read today in Sirach, who is paraphrasing Moses’ speech in Deuteronomy 30:15. All of today’s readings are about choice. The psalmist chooses fi-
delity to God’s statutes; Paul has opted for “God’s wisdom, mysterious, hidden;” and Jesus says four times, “You have heard... but I say to you,” demanding our allegiance to his teaching. We tend to see
choice as a moral question, and that is often the case. That is certainly the perspective of Sirach. It is easy to forget that the Sermon on the Mount is more demanding than the Commandments. That is what Jesus
meant by saying, “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Still, what Sirach says is true: “No one does he command to act unjust-
ly, to none does he give license to sin.” In other words, when we sin, it is because of our choice. There may be mitigating circumstances, of course, especially if we are not truly free. That said, before any concrete
decision there must be an underlying fundamental resolve: as disciples of Christ, to strive with all our heart to live by his word. That is what the Beautiful Lady came to tell us. She put before us a choice: failure to submit, with its consequences, or conversion, with its benefits. Exact opposites, just like the hammer and
pincers. Fr. René Butler, M.S., and Wayne Vanasse

Mar llo y Tenazas
Sexto Domingo Ordinario
Eclesiás co 15:15‐20; 1 Corin os 2:6‐10; Mateo 5:17‐37
Entre las caracterís cas más dis n vas de la Aparición de Nuestra Señora de La
Sale e, como es bien sabido, están el mar llo y las tenazas sobre ambos lados
del crucifijo.
La gente que los ve por primera vez pregunta siempre por el significado que
enen. Ustedes están familiarizados con la interpretación tradicional, pero yo
creo que podría ser de más ayuda responder con otra pregunta. Supongamos
que María se hubiera dejado ver por los niños sin decir palabra, ¿Cómo podría‐
mos nosotros entender el propósito de su visita?
Las herramientas del carpintero por sí solas no enen un significado especial.
Pero, al estar asociadas con el Crucificado, están conectadas con la Pasión de
Jesús, en la que fueron usadas con propósitos dis ntos.
No es de extrañarse que hayan sido siempre explicadas como llamándonos a elegir entre la vida y la muerte,
como leemos hoy en la lectura de Eclesiás co, que parafrasea el discurso de Moisés en Deuteronomio
30:15.
Todas las lecturas de hoy tratan de la elección. El salmista elige la fidelidad a los estatutos de Dios; Pablo ha
optado por “una sabiduría de Dios, misteriosa y secreta”; y Jesús dice cuatro veces, “Ustedes han oído ... pe‐
ro Yo les digo”, pidiendo nuestra lealtad a sus enseñanzas.
Tendemos a ver la elección como una cues ón moral, y a menudo ese es el caso. Esa es ciertamente la pers‐
pec va de Eclesiás co. Es fácil olvidar que el Sermón de la Montaña es más exigente que los Mandamientos.
Eso es lo que Jesús quiso decir al afirmar, “Les aseguro que, si la jus cia de ustedes no es superior a la de los
escribas y fariseos, no entrarán en el Reino de los Cielos”.
Aun así, lo que dice Eclesiás co es cierto: “A nadie le ordenó ser impío ni dio a nadie autorización para pe‐
car”. Así que, cuando pecamos, es porque podemos elegir. Pudieran exis r circunstancias mi gantes, por
supuesto, especialmente si no somos verdaderamente libres.
Dicho esto, ante cualquier decisión concreta debe haber una resolución fundamental de base: como discípu‐
los de Cristo, luchar con todo nuestro corazón para vivir según su palabra.
Eso es lo que la Bella Señora vino a decirnos. Nos puso delante una elección: no someterse, con sus conse‐
cuencias, o conver rse, con sus beneficios. Opuestos exactos, tal como el mar llo y las tenazas.
