Pagina 5 San Juan Evangelista Enero 5, 2014

LA LUZ DE LA FE

La primera lectura de hoy nos trae la gloria del Señor que tiene tanta fuerza y pureza que puede inundar a Jerusalén. La lectura es tan gloriosa que los corazones palpitan y rebozan de júbilo. Todos aquellos que pueden venir a Tierra Santa vienen, caravanas repletas de gente a pie y en camellos y otros dromedarios. Esta descripción de una ciudad tan llena de una luz irresistible nos prepara para la historia de los magos. Van guiados por sus propias luces –su estudio de astronomía y astrología– y por la luz de una estrella peculiar. Su estudio les dice que un fenómeno extraordinario en el cielo es señal de un nacimiento extraordinario en la tierra. Determinan averiguar lo acontecido y salen con regalos dignos de un rey. Son bienvenidos a una casita insignificante en Belén, ofrecen regalos dignos de un rey, y reciben el regalo de la fe. Pablo destaca el gran regalo de la fe disponible a los gentiles, representados en los magos. Lo que vieron y creyeron los ha cambiado, igual que cambió a Pablo y a todos los que escuchan su proclamación. Igual que los magos, y que Pablo, estamos invitados a recibir esta vida

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Jn 3:22 — 4:6; Sal 2:7bc-8, 10-12a; Mt 4:12-17, 23-25 Martes: 1 Jn 4:7-10; Sal 72 (71):1-4, 7-8; Mc 6:34-44 Miércoles: 1 Jn 4:11-18; Sal 72 (71):1-2, 10, 12-13; Mc 6:45-52 Jueves 1 Jn 4:19 -5:4; Sal 72 (71):1-2, 14, 15bc, 17; Lc 4:14-22a Viernes: 1 Jn 5:5-13; Sal 147:12-15, 19-20; Lc 5:12-16 Sábado: 1 Jn 5:14-21; Sal 149:1-6a, 9b; Jn 3:22-30 Domingo: Is 42:1-4, 6-7; Sal 29 (28):1-4, 3, 9-10; Hch 10:34-38; Mt 3:13-17

LA EPIFANIA DEL SEÑOR

Se puede entender la Epifanía como una extensión de la Natividad del Señor que celebramos el 25 de diciembre. En la Navidad celebramos la venida de Jesús como el rey y Mesías tan esperado por el pueblo judío, y en la Epifanía celebramos la revelación de Jesús como el Salvador y la Luz de las naciones; es decir, de judíos, gentiles y de todos los pueblos. La estrella brilla con tanto fulgor que atrae a los magos que vienen de países distantes para adorar a Jesús. No son judíos, y sin embargo se ven atraídos al que es la Luz del Mundo. La carta a los efesios revela que la Luz del Mundo era tanto para gentiles como para judíos, pues Cristo reúne a todos los pueblos en la luz de su amor. La lectura de Isaías también describe a diversos pueblos que vienen, pero esta vez les atrae la luz que emana del pueblo de Dios.

Tres pensamientos

1. ¡Alégrense todos en este día! Pues celebramos la Epifanía y preguntándome que le llevaría miré a Jesús en los brazos de María.

2. El oro un rey nos anuncia y el incienso anuncia un Dios, Y el polvo de amarga mirra, su tumba profetizó.

3. Debemos poner nuestras pasiones al servicio de la vida, y no malgastar nuestra vida en servir a nuestras pasiones.
