24 de enero del 2016 / III Domingo Ordinario
The Best Day of the Week
El mejor dia de la Semana
Today's Gospel makes us think about
how we live Sunday, a day of rest and a
day for the family. Above all, it is the day
to devote to the Lord, by participating in
the Eucharist, in which we are nourished
by the Body and Blood of Christ and by
his life-giving Word. Second, in our
diversified and distracted time, this
Gospel passage invites us to ask
ourselves whether we are able to listen.
Before we can speak of God and with
God we must listen to him, and the liturgy
of the Church is the “school” of this
listening to the Lord who speaks to us.
Finally, he tells us that every moment can
be the opportune “day” for our
conversion. Every day can become the
today of our salvation, because salvation
is a story that is ongoing for the Church
and for every disciple of Christ. This is the
Christian meaning of “carpe diem”: seize
the day in which God is calling you to give
you salvation! May the Virgin Mary always
be our model and our guide in knowing
how to recognize and welcome the
presence of God our Saviour and of all
humanity every day of our lives.
Hoy el pasaje del evangelio nos hace
pensar en nuestro modo de vivir el
domingo: día de descanso y de la familia,
pero antes aún día para dedicar al Señor,
participando en la Eucaristía, en la que nos
alimentamos del Cuerpo y Sangre de
Cristo y de su Palabra de vida. En
segundo lugar, en nuestro tiempo
dispersivo y distraído, este Evangelio nos
invita a interrogarnos sobre nuestra
capacidad de escucha. Antes de poder
hablar de Dios y con Dios, es necesario
escucharle, y la liturgia de la Iglesia es la
«escuela» de esta escucha del Señor que
nos habla. Finalmente, nos dice que cada
momento puede convertirse en un «hoy»
propicio para nuestra conversión. Cada día
puede convertirse en el hoy salvífico,
porque la salvación es historia que
continúa para la Iglesia y para cada
discípulo de Cristo. Este es el sentido
cristiano del «carpe diem»: aprovecha el
hoy en el que Dios te llama para darte la
salvación. Que la Virgen María sea
siempre nuestro modelo y nuestra guía
para saber reconocer y acoger, cada día
de nuestra vida, la presencia de Dios,
Salvador nuestro y de toda la humanidad.
