A
reflection on
the dedication
to St. John
Lateran
Basilica
|
|
We all
have a house of
our dreams.
Many imagine it
to be a
mansion, while
for others it
could be a
small,
comfortable
house that is
filled with
light. We can
see ourselves
living in it
and even how we
would furnish
it. Why is this
so important
for us? Because
not only do we
spend a lot of
time in our
house (although
sometimes we
spend more time
at work), it is
where our
family is,
where we can be
ourselves and
truthfully
express our
feelings. It is
our home and in
many ways a
reflection of
our identity.
Today’s
readings speak
about
God’s
house. Why does
the Scripture
insist so much
on the temple,
on the house of
God? Surely for
the same
reasons that we
do. The temple
is where God
can express his
own identity
and nature. It
is where God
can be God: the
nature of love
and relation.
The interesting
thing is that
it says the
temple is not
made of stone,
but that is
really us. We
are God’s
home, the place
where God can
be God. It is
in us where God
can express,
transmit and
deliver his
love.
Therefore, if
we use our body
for things that
have nothing to
do with God, we
would be
evicting him
from his
house.

Una
reflexión
sobre el
evangelio de la
Dedicación
de la Basilica
de San
Juan
|
|
Todos
tenemos una
casa de
nuestros
sueños.
En algunas
imaginaciones
ésta
puede ser una
gran
mansión.
Para otros,
puede que sea
una casa
pequeña
y
cómoda,
llena de luz.
Nos imaginamos
las estancias y
los muebles que
pondríamos.
Nos vemos
viviendo en
ella. ¿Por
qué es
esto tan
importante para
nosotros? No
sólo
porque pasamos
en casa mucho
tiempo (aunque
a veces pasamos
más
tiempo en
nuestros
trabajo), sino
porque es ahi
donde
encontramos a
nuestra
familia, donde
podemos ser
nosotros
mismos, donde
nos podemos ser
nosotros
mismos, donde
nos podemos
expresar con
toda verdad. Es
nuestro hogar
y, de muchas
maneras,
refleja nuestra
indentidad. Hoy
en las lecturas
se nos habla de
la casa de
Dios. ¿Por
qué
insistirá
tanto la
Escritura en el
templo, la casa
de Dios?
Seguramente que
por nuestras
mismas razones.
El templo es
donde Dios
puede expresar
su propia
identidad y
naturaleza. Es
decir, donde
Dios puede ser
Dios:
naturaleza de
amor y de
relación.
Lo curioso es
que se nos dice
que ese templo
no es de
piedra, sino
que somos
nosotros
mismos.
Nosotros somos
el hogar de
Dios, donde
Dios puede ser
ser Dios mismo.
Es en nosotros
donde Dios
puede expresar,
transmitir, y
entrgar su
amor. Si
nosotros
utilizamos, por
tanto, nuestro
cuerpo—nuestra
persona—para
cosas que no
son de Dios,
estamos
arrojándolo
fuera du su
casa.

By the time this message sees print, the
election would have been over. We would
have elected a new president and the
issues proposed to the public would have
been decided. Hopefully, in the state of
California Proposition 8 would have passed
so as to restore the traditional meaning
of marriage as a union between one man and
woman and the sanctuary of children. If it
does pass, we should not despair. We
should continue to abide with the
teachings of the church, living, defending
and promoting Christian values and
principles in a spirit of love and
unity.
I find
the mass reading of last Tuesday,
Paul’s letter to the Philippians very
affirming and encouraging. It speaks of
Jesus’ divine origin, of his downward
movement to take on our humanity and
identify with us, going to the lowliest
form of a slave unto death on the cross.
Yet, the Father exalted him. He was raised
to life so that all creatures on earth
will bow down in worship. The power of the
Lord Jesus will triumph.
If
there is any biblical text that is worth
memorizing this should be
one:
“Jesus,
though he was in the form of God, did not
regard equality with God something to be
grasped. Rather he emptied himself, taking
the form of a slave, coming in human
likeness; and found human in appearance,
he humbled himself becoming obedient to
death, even death on a
cross.
Because
of this, God greatly exalted him and
bestowed on him the name that is above
every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend, of those in heaven
and on earth under the earth, and every
tongue confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord.” Philippians 2, 3-11.
Cuando vean este mensaje, las elecciones
se habran terminado. Tendremos un
presidente electado y las propociciones
publicas estaran decididas. Esperamos, que
ene el estado de California la propocicion
8 habra pasado para restorar el
significado tradicional del matrimonio y
de la union entre una hombre y una mujer.
Si pasa, no debemos estar desanimados.
Debemos continuar con las
enseñanzas de la iglesia, vivir, y
defender y promover los valores y
principios Cristianos con un espiritu de
amor y unidad.
Veo en
la lectura del martes pasado, la carta de
Pablo a los Philippians affirmacion y
valor. Nos habla del origen Divino de
Jesus, de su movimiento de tomar nuestra
humanidad y identificarse con nosotros, de
vivir en forma de esclavo hasta la muerte
en la cruz. Y asi, el Padre lo exalta. El
fue elevado a la vida para que todos los
creaturas del mundo lo Alaben. El poder de
nuestro Señor Jesucristo sera
truinfador.
Si hay
algun texto Biblico que debemos recordar
es este:
“Jesus.
aunque en forma de Dios, no como igualdad
con Dios. El tomo la forma de esclavo,
viniendo como humano; en apariencia de
humano, fue humildemente y fue obediente
hasta la muerte, hasta una muerte en la
cruz.
Por
esto, Dios lo exalto y lo nombro sobre
todo nombre, que al nombre de Jesus todos
debemos doblar la rodilla ante el, de los
que estan en el cielo en la tierra, y en
cada idioma confesan que Jesus Cristo is
Dios.” Philippians 2,
3-11.
