21 de Febrero del 2016 / II Domingo de Cuaresma
Christ as the food of His soul
Cristo como alimento del alma
In Lent we learn to give the right time to
prayer, both personal and of the
community, which gives rest to our
spiritual life. Moreover, prayer does not
mean isolating oneself from the world and
from its contradictions, rather, prayer
leads back to the journey and to action.
“The Christian life, offers us a valuable
opportunity to meditate on the relationship
between faith and charity; between
believing in God – the God of Jesus Christ
– and love, which is the fruit of the Holy
Spirit and which guides us on the path of
devotion to God and others. Prayer
consists in continuously scaling the
mountain to meet God and then coming
back down, bearing the love and strength
drawn from him, so as to serve our
brothers and sisters with God’s own love”.
The Lord is calling us “to scale the
mountain”, to devote ourselves even more
to prayer and meditation. But this does not
mean abandoning the Church; indeed, if
God asks us this it is precisely so that we
may continue to serve her with the same
dedication and the same love with which
we have tried to do so until now, but in a
way more suited to our age and strength.
En Cuaresma aprendemos a dar el tiempo
justo a la oración, personal y comunitaria,
que ofrece aliento a nuestra vida
espiritual. Además, la oración no es
aislarse del mundo y de sus
contradicciones, sino que la oración
reconduce al camino, a la acción. «La
existencia cristiana — nos ofrece una
ocasión preciosa para meditar sobre la
relación entre fe y caridad: entre creer en
Dios, el Dios de Jesucristo, y el amor, que
es fruto de la acción del Espíritu Santo y
nos guía por un camino de entrega a Dios
y a los demás.— consiste en un continuo
subir al monte del encuentro con Dios
para después volver a bajar, trayendo el
amor y la fuerza que de ahí se derivan, a
fin de servir a nuestros hermanos y
hermanas con el mismo amor de Dios». El
Señor nos llama a «subir al monte», a
dedicarnos aún más a la oración y a la
meditación. Pero esto no significa
abandonar a la Iglesia, es más, si Dios
nos pide esto es precisamente para que
podamos seguir sirviéndola con la misma
entrega y el mismo amor con el cual
hemos tratado de hacerlo hasta ahora,
pero de una forma más acorde a nuestra
edad y fuerzas.
