A
reflection on the Gospel for the
Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary
Time
|
There have always been people who feel
they are so pure and good, they do no
socialize with those perceived as bad or
impure. From their own high justice and
perfection they judge others without fear
and severely. They set up barriers
dividing society into good or bad and
stand at the entrance deciding who passes
in one direction or another. During the
times of Jesus there were also people who
behave in such a manner. Jesus quickly
attracted their attention, because he
dined with sinners, which made him impure.
They were good and could not have anything
to do with him, much less accept his words
as if they were the words of God. From
afar they criticized and gossiped about
him. Jesus was not affected by their
criticisms. He knows he is the son of
merciful God. His actions are just
replicating what God, the Father, would do
if he were among us. Through his words and
actions, Jesus reveals to us God’s
way. Which is why, Jesus does not get
angry, since God’s compassion is also
for them. He just tells them stories, in
which he demonstrates how ridiculous their
attitudes are, since they too would
zealously seek a lost sheep or dropped
coin.

Una
reflexión sobre el
Evangelio del Vigésimo
Cuarto domingo del tiempo
ordinario
|
Siempre ha habido personas que se sienten
tan puros y buenos que no se dignan
mezclarse con los que socialmente son
malos o impuros. Además, desde la
altura de su justicia y perfección,
juzgan sin miedo y con acritud a todos los
demás. Establecen las barreras que
dividen a la sociedad entre buenos y malos
y se sitúan en la puerta para
determiner quiénes son los que
pueden pasar en una dirección u
otra. En tiempos de Jesús
también había personas
así. Y enseguida Jesús les
llamo la atención, porque
comía con pecadores y se tornaba a
sí mismo impuro. Ellos, los buenos,
no podían aceptar sus palabras como
palabras que viniesen de Dios. Desde lejos
lo criticaban y murmuraban de él.
Pero Jesús no se deja afectar por
las críticas. Sabe que es el hijo
del Dios de la misericordia. Sus acciones
no hacen más que reproducir lo que
haría Dios Padre si estuviese entre
nosotros. En sus palabras y sus actos,
Jesús nos revela el modo de ser de
Dios. Por eso Jesús no se enoja,
porque la compasión de Dios es
también para ellos. Sólo les
cuenta historias. Ellas les hace ver lo
ridículo de su actitud. Porque
ellos mismos buscan con pasión la
oveja perdida o la moneda que se les ha
caído.

“Me
Levantare e Ire Junto a Mi
Padre”
En la primera lectura el
pueblo de Israel cometio pecado
de impaciencia y de idolatria, al
contruir un becerro de oro y
adorarlo en lugar del Dios
verdadero. La idolatria es poner
en el lugar de Dios los intereses
humanos. Por ejemplo: La ambicion
desmedida del tener, el abuso del
poder, el abuso del placer. Asi
mismo la hechiceria, la magia, el
sortilegio y la brujeria, todo
esto aparta del centro que es
Dios. En el Evangelio, cada uno
de nosotros nos indetificamos,
con el hijo prodigo que se aleja
de Dios del Padre celestial, con
el hijo mayor, soberbio y
engreido, para acusar a otro y
alabarnos a nosotros mismos. Por
otro lado el Padre que perdona y
acoge y hace fiesta por el
pecador arrepentido.
Padre
Santos
“I
will rise again and go with my
Father”
In the first reading the
people of Israel committed a sin
of impatience and idolatry, by
building a calf made of gold and
idolizing it instead of the real
God. Their idolatry is caused by
placing human interest over
God’s interest. For example:
Limitless ambition for
possession, power and pleasure.
The same goes with witchcraft,
sorcery or magic, all of these
separate us from the center which
is God. In the Gospel, each one
of us can identify ourselves with
the prodigal son that leaves God
and the Celestial Father, and
with the oldest son that is
arrogant and vain, we accuse
others so we can elevate
ourselves. On the other hand the
Father forgives and takes in,
makes a big feast for his sinful
and repentant son.
Fr.
Santos
