REFLECTIONS

BLESSED

When we think of the word “Beatitude” we think of today’s

discourse from Luke’s Gospel, or the more familiar one

from Matthew (which begins “Blessed are the poor in spirit .

. . ”). Actually, beatitudes occur throughout the prophets and

Gospels. Today in Jeremiah (with an echo in the psalm) we

hear, “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord” (Jeremiah

17:7). Following his resurrection in John’s Gospel, Christ

proclaims, “Blessed are those who have not seen and have

believed” (John 20:29). The evangelists placed these sayings

throughout the Gospels as short reminders about the charac-

teristics that one will find in a follower of Christ, character-

istics that will help spread the Good News in this life and

lead to eternal blessings in the next. In Latin, the saints are

called the Beati, the “Blessed,” for they are the ones who

lived the “blessed” life as described by Jesus throughout the

Gospels. How blest are we, when we also strive to make our

own days a living beatitude!

REFLEJOS BIENAVENTURADOS O DICHOSOS

Cuando pensamos en la palabra “bienaventuranza” pensamos

en el discurso de hoy del Evangelio según Lucas, o en el más

familiar según Mateo (que comienza “Dichosos lo que tienen

espíritu de pobre . . .”). En realidad, las bienaventuranzas ocu-

rren en los profetas y evangelios. Hoy, en Jeremías (con un eco

en el salmo) oímos: “Bendito el hombre que confía en el Se-

ñor” (Jeremías 17:7). Luego de su resurrección en el Evangelio

de san Juan, Cristo proclama: “¡Dichosos los que creen sin

haber visto!” (Juan 20:29). Los evangelistas colocaron estos

dichos por todos los evangelios como cortos recordatorios sobre

las caracteríscas de quien sigue a Cristo, características que

ayudarán a diseminar la Buena Nueva en esta vida y llevarnos a

la dicha eterna en la próxima. En latín, los santos son llamados

Beati o “Beatos” porque son aquellos que viven la vida “feliz”

descrita por Jesús en los evangelios. ¡Qué dichosos somos

cuando nos esforzamos por hacer de nuestros días bienaventu-

ranzas vivas!
