QUINTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
DA GLORIA A DIOS
En el Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma, justo antes de entrar en la Semana Santa, somos llamados a Betania. Si hubiéramos sido amigos de María, Lázaro y Marta, y nos hubiér-amos enterado que Lázaro estaba gravemente enfermo, probablemente lo habríamos dejado todo para estar con ellos. Eso es lo más sorprendente del comportamiento de Jesús. Pese a que era su amigo cercano, eligió mantenerse alejado, para que la gloria de Dios se manifestara.
Este es un tema persistente en el Evangelio de Juan. Hasta el mismo final, las obras de Jesús son para dar gloria al Padre. A medida que nuestra jornada de Cuaresma llega a su apogeo, recordemos que, como personas que “se han revestido de Cristo” en el Bautis-mo, también somos llamados a dar gloria a Dios en nuestras actitudes y acciones.

RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
Today’s Gospel tells us of the raising of Lazarus. In Jesus’ exchange with Lazarus’ sister Martha, she refers to the general resurrection of the dead on
“the last day.” Jesus then shifts the perspective by identifying himself as “the resurrection and the
life.” What does this mean? Jesus earlier had spo-ken of the hour “when the dead will hear the voice
of the Son of God, and those who hear will live” (John 5:25). When Jesus cries out in a loud voice—“Lazarus, come out!”—Jesus fulfills that role in the present, offering resurrection and life
here and now, in a new relationship with him. Resurrection is offered not only on the last day,
and not only at our physical death, but in the mix of our present daily lives. Sometimes we are buried
in tombs of suffering or of entrapment in sin. When we encounter death in its many forms, in faith we can hear Jesus, who summons us out of
death and into life.
EZEKIEL’S COUNTER-STORY It is difficult to overstate the bleak situation faced
by the people of Israel described in today’s reading from Ezekiel. Babylon had invaded Jerusalem,
killed many of its inhabitants, and destroyed the temple. Some of them were forced into exile in Bab-ylon. Their captors and neighbors likely concluded that the Babylonian deity had pummeled the He-brew deity into submission. Israel’s God was as good as dead, and the people of Israel as well.
In the midst of this catastrophe, Ezekiel announces a counter-story. The narrative of God’s death is
false. Israel’s God is alive, and God’s own breath will restore their life. They will be lifted out of the
grave of their grief and despair, and be returned to their land. Ezekiel’s message speaks to all of us who know of profound disorientation, of separation from loved ones, and of deep loss. God will bear our un-
bearable sorrow, and God’s spirit will offer new life and hope.

CON DIOS Con Dios, ve más allá del mar. Sin Dios, ni si-
quiera vayas adonde empieza. —Proverbio ruso
LA RESURRECCIÓN Y LA VIDA El Evangelio de hoy nos habla de cómo revivió
Lázaro. En el dialogo entre Jesús y Marta, la her-mana de Lázaro, ella se refiere a la resurrección
universal de la muerte en “el último día”. Entonces Jesús cambia la perspectiva al identificarse él mismo como “la resurrección y la vida”. ¿Qué
significa esto? Anteriormente Jesús había hablado de la hora “en que los muertos oirán la voz de Dios,
y todos los que la oigan, vivirán” (Juan 5:25). Cuando Jesús con voz alta dice: “¡Lázaro, sal!”
Jesús cumple ese papel en el presente, ofreciendo vida nuevamente aquí y ahora en una nueva
relación con él. La resurrección se ofrece no solamente en el último día, y no solamente en nuestra muerte física, pero
en la mezcla de nuestras vidas del día a día. Algunas veces estamos enterrados en tumbas de sufrimiento o atrapados en el pecado. Cuando
encontramos la muerte en sus muchas formas, con fe podemos escuchar a Jesús, quien nos llama de la
muerte a la vida.
LA HISTORIA CONTRARIA DE EZEQUIEL Es difícil exagerar la situación triste que enfrentó el
pueblo de Israel descrito en la lectura de hoy del libro de Ezequiel. Babilonia había invadido Jerusalén, matado a muchos de sus habitantes y destruido el
Templo. Algunos de ellos fueron forzados a ir en exilio a Babilonia. Sus captores y vecinos probablemente
concluyeron que la deidad babilonia había dado una paliza a la deidad hebrea para someterla. El Dios de Israel estaba tan bueno como muerto, y también el
pueblo de Israel. En medio de esta catástrofe, Ezequiel anuncia una
contra historia. El relato de la muerte de Dios es falso. El Dios de Israel está vivo, y el aliento del mismo Dios restaurará su vida. Ellos serán levantados de la tumba
y su dolor desaparecerá, y regresarán a su tierra. El mensaje de Ezequiel habla a todos nosotros que cono-
cemos de la profundidad de la desorientación, de la separación de los seres queridos y de una perdida pro-
funda. Dios llevará nuestro dolor insoportable, y el espíritu de Dios ofrecerá nueva vida y esperanza.
WITH GOD With God, go over the sea. Without God, don’t
even go over the threshold. —Russian proverb
