A
reflection on
the Gospel for
The Nineteenth
Sunday in
Ordinary
Time
|
|
Someone
we dream of the
extraordinary
things in life
we can achieve.
We would have
liked to have
attained fame,
been great
musicians,
artists,
writers or
politicians. In
the spiritual
fieldwe would
have wanted to
undergo a great
heroic
experience or
martydom. We
desire to be
considered
extraordinary,
a person who is
exceptional.
Yet we see our
life
passing
us by without
achieving any
of this. We
continue to be
normal and
ordinary people
with daily
struggles and
simple and
common jobs.
Does this make
us less happy
and more
mediocre?
Probably not.
What happens is
that deep down
inside we
believe we are
incapable of
achieving
something
extraordinary
and believe
this excuses us
from achieveing
anything—either
extraordinary
or common.
Today we are
told that God
did not speak
to Elijah
through grand
maifestations
of strength and
power, but in a
soft whisper of
the gentle
wind, in the
midst of the
ordinary and
common.

Una
reflexión
sobre el
evangelio del
Decimonoveno
Domingo del
Tiempo
Ordinario
|
|
Aveces
soñamos
con cosas
extraordinarias
que podemos
hacer. Nos
hubiera
quizá
gustado
alcanzar la
fama, ser
grandes
músicos,
artistas,
escritores, o
politicos. En
el campo de lo
espiritual,
quizá
alcanzar una
gran
experiencia de
heroísmo
o martirio.
Quisiéramos
ser
considerados
seres
extraordinarios,
fuera de lo
común. Y
vemos que se
nos va pasando
la vida y no
alcanzamos nada
de eso.
Seguimos siendo
gente normal y
corriente, con
las
dificultades
diarias
normales y
ocupaciones
más bien
sencillas y
comunes.
¿Nos hace
esto menos
felices, o
más
mediocres?
Posiblemente
no. Lo que pasa
es que, en el
fondo, creemos
que no
seríamos
capaces de algo
extraordinario,
y nos sentimos
excusados de
hacer
nada—ni
extraordinario
ni
común.
Hoy se nos dice
que Dios no le
habló a
Elías en
medio de
grandes
manifestaciones
de fuerza o de
poder, sino en
el murmullo, en
la brisa, es
decir, en medio
de lo
más
ordinario y
más
común.

It’s
me
It’s
a good scene of the gospel in
concienceness, intimate and personal, all
though less in concienceness and
meditation. This affirms that faith and
courage beats the dificulties. It’s
not talking about courage of human heroes
but the courage that comes from the Lord,
the only courage that saves. The center of
this is not the courage of Peter but his
fear and the confusion, without the help
of Jesús he would be lost. If
anyone wants to get the secured path to
the spiritual life, he must not look at
the fear and danger of St. Peter but the
tranquility of Jesus: Come, don’t be
afraid!
It was
the Lord that appeared to them in the
night of danger so they experience his
live nothing. And from that experience
they will be experienced and guided to the
everything of Jesus that gives the
security: he extended his hand and saved
him.
The
identification of Jesus is in the multiple
forms he can presente the eternal
problems. Lack of reality, of his
humanity, of his presence or of his love,
is to become a ghost of unreality. If
Jesus is not a «You» different
«from the others», que would
have not been able to save him when he was
drowning. If «that is you» it is
a reality of true faith in the real Jesus
with powers of elements.
Soy
yo
Es una
escena del evangelio rica en
consecuencias, íntima y personal,
aunque menos conocida y meditada.
Aquí se afirma que la fe y el valor
vencen todas las dificultades. Pero no se
trata del valor de los héroes
humanos sino de la fortaleza que viene del
Señor, única fuerza que
salva. Lo central aquí no es el
valor de Pedro sino su miedo y la
confesión de que, sin la ayuda de
Jesús, está perdido. El que
quiera sacar de este pasaje una
provisión espiritual para marchar
seguro por la vida, no debe fijarse tanto
en el miedo al peligro de San Pedro como
en la llamada tranquilizante de
Jesús: Ven, ¡no
temas!
Fue el
Señor quien les metió en la
noche del peligro para que experimentaran
en vivo su nada. Y de esa experiencia
deben orientarse confiados al todo de
Jesús que da seguridad:
extedió su mano y le
salvó.
La
identificación de Jesús en
las múltiples formas en que pueda
presentrse es un eterno problema. Dudar de
su realidad, de su humanidad, de su
presencia o de su amor, es convertirle en
fantasma de irrealidad. Si Jesús no
es un «Tu» distinto de «los
otros», no podrá salvar en los
momentos de hundimiento. Ese «si eres
tú» es una profesión de
fe verdadera en el verdadero Jesús
con poder sobre los
elementos.
