A Precious Gift from God
This Wednesday we begin the liturgical
Season of Lent with the evocative rite of
the imposition of ashes through which we
wish to commit ourselves to converting our
hearts to the horizons of Grace. It is a
precious gift of God, a strong time full of
meaning on the Church’s path. It is the
journey that leads to the Passover of the
Lord. “Return to me with all your heart”
God invites us to sincere and
unostentatious repentance. This is not a
superficial and transitory conversion; but a
spiritual itinerary that deeply concerns the
attitude of the conscience and implies
sincere determination to reform. An
attitude of authentic conversion to God —
of returning to Him — recognizing His
holiness, His power, His majesty. This
conversion is possible because God is rich
in mercy and great in love. His is a
regenerating mercy that creates within us a
pure heart, renews in our depths a firm
spirit, restoring the joy of salvation. May
Mary, our guide on the Lenten journey,
lead us to ever deeper knowledge of the
dead and Risen Christ, help us in the
spiritual combat against sin, and sustain us
as we pray with conviction: “Converte nos,
Deus salutaris noster” — “Convert us to
you, O God, our salvation”. Amen!
Un Don precioso de Dios
Comenzamos el proximo miercoles el tiempo
litúrgico de Cuaresma con el sugestivo rito de la
imposición de la ceniza, a través del cual
queremos asumir el compromiso de orientar
nuestro corazón hacia el horizonte de la Gracia,
que es un don precioso de Dios, es un tiempo
fuerte y denso de significado en el camino de la
Iglesia; es el itinerario hacia la Pascua del
Señor. «Convertíos a mí de todo corazón» Dios
nos invita a un arrepentimiento sincero, no
ficticio. No se trata de una conversión
superficial y transitoria, sino de un itinerario
espiritual que concierne en profundidad a las
actitudes de la conciencia, y supone un sincero
propósito de enmienda. Una actitud de
auténtica conversión a Dios —volver a él—,
reconociendo su santidad, su poder, su
grandeza. Esta conversión es posible porque
Dios es rico en misericordia y grande en el
amor. Su misericordia es una misericordia
regeneradora, que crea en nosotros un corazón
puro, renueva por dentro con espíritu firme,
devolviéndonos la alegría de la salvación. Que
María, nuestra guía en el camino cuaresmal,
nos lleve a un conocimiento cada vez más
profundo de Cristo, muerto y resucitado; nos
ayude en el combate espiritual contra el
pecado; y nos sostenga al invocar con fuerza:
«Converte nos, Deus, salutaris noster»,
«Conviértenos a ti, oh Dios, nuestra salvación».
Amén.
