A
reflection on
the Gospel for
the Fifth
Sunday in
Ordinary
Time
|
|
The
Internet has
truly made news
fast. It seems
as if nowadays
distance were
nonexistent. If
We want to
communicate
with a relative
or a friend who
lives in
another
country, we can
write an e-mail
at home or the
local library,
and he or she
receives it
immediately. If
we want to send
some pictures,
we can send
them through
the Internet,
and they arrive
the moment we
hit
“send.”
The Internet
allows us to
very quickly
communicate
news we want to
share, above
all good news
such as the
birth of a
child, a
promotion at
work, or the
good result of
a medical exam.
When something
good has
happened to us,
we want to
share it with
as many people
as
possible—and
as quickly as
possible. It is
hard to keep
good news to
oneself. One
feels as if one
has to proclaim
it to the four
corners of the
world.
Something
similar
happened to
Jesus, who went
from town to
town preaching
the Reign of
God. The
announcement of
a new world,
one that would
truly reflect
the will of
God, was the
message that
Jesus could not
keep to
himself. He had
to proclaim it,
not because
someone was
making him do
it, but because
for him this
was great news,
the good news,
and he knew
that he had to
share it with
the entire
world. The
Reign of God
had started to
take root and
its effects
were starting
to show:
Simon’s
mother - in -
law’s
fever
disappeared,
the sick were
healed, demons
were expelled,
and the people
opened their
hearts to
Jesus’
preaching.

Una
reflexión
sobre el
evangelio del
Quinto domingo
del tiempo
Ordinario
|
|
Internet
ha hecho que
las noticias
vuelen de
verdad. Parece
como si hoy en
día no
existiese la
distancia. Si
queremos
contarle algo a
un familiar o
amigo que vive
en otro
país, le
escribimos un
correo
electrónico
y lo recibe
inmediatamente.
Si queremos
mandar una
fotos, se las
mandamos por
Internet y
llegan
ahí
mismo. Internet
nos ayuda a
comunicar
acquellas
noticias que
queremos
compartir a
toda prisa.
Sobre todo, las
buenas
noticias: el
nacimiento de
un nuevo hijo,
una
promoción
en el trabajo o
los buenos
resultados de
un examen
médico.
Cuando nos ha
pasado algo
bueno, queremos
compartirlo con
cuenta
más
gente mejor. Y
lo más
rápidamente
posible. Es
difícil
guardarse las
buenas noticias
para uno mismo.
Uno siente que
las tiene que
proclamar a los
cuatro vientos.
Algo similar le
pasaba a
Jesús,
quién
iba de aldea
predicando el
Reino de Dios.
El anuncio de
un nuevo mundo,
que refleje la
voluntad de
Dios, era el
mensaje que
Jesús no
podía
guardarse para
sí
mismo. Lo
tenía
que proclamar,
no porque
algien lo
obligase, sino
porque para
él esto
era la gran
noticia, y
sabía
que
tenía
que compartir
con todo el
mundo. El Reino
de Dios
había
comenzado a
echar
raíces y
su efecto se
empezaba a
notar: la
fiebre de la
suegra de
Simón
desaparecía,
los enfermos
sanaban, los
demonios eran
expulsados y la
gente
abría
sus corazones a
la
predicación
de
Jesús.

The same Christ who prayed in lonely
places said: “When you pray, go into
your room, and pray to your Father in
secret.” We would not imagine then
that the lonely place is necessarily a
place far away, or that by room he means
four walls that separate us phycically
from others. The room is the room within
ourselves. It is the room of our innermost
heart, where our plans are hatched, where
our hopes reside, where our true self is
to be found. This room is with us at all
times. We carry it around wherever we go.
We should make it a place where we can
retreat, a home where we find rest and
spiritual recovery when “the world is
too much with us”. Then we will make
an exciting discovery that the inner room
is not empty after all, but is occupied by
the God of love who dwells in us all.
El mismo Cristo que oraba en lugares
solitarios dijo: “Cuando ores, ve a
tu cuarto y ora al Padre en secreto.”
No podríamos imaginarnos entonces
que un lugar solitario es necesariamente
un lugar lejos, o que al decir cuarto
Jesús quiso decir cuatro paredes
que nos separen físicamente de los
demás. Este cuarto es el cuarto
dentro de nosotros mismos. Es el cuarto de
lo más profundo de nuestro
corazón, en donde nacen nuestros
planes, donde viven nuestras esperanzas, y
donde se encuentra nuestra propia verdad.
Este cuarto está con nosotros todo
el tiempo. Lo llevamos con nosotros
dondequiera que vamos. Deberíamos
hacer de este cuarto un lugar en donde
podamos retirarnos, una casa en donde
podamos recobrarnos espiritualmente y
descansar especialmente en aquella
ocasiones “cuando el mundo se haga
muy pesado.” Entonces haremos un
agradable descubrimiento, que el cuarto
dentro de nosotros no está ocupado
por el amor de Dios que habita en
nosotros.
