EL SIERVO

A veces la persona y la hora se encuentran. A veces, cuando han puesto en nuestros brazos una tarea o misión,

sabemos que debemos cumplir esa responsabili-dad, y estamos listos. Esos son momentos de gran entusiasmo y energ-ía. La primera lectura y la proclamación del Evangelio de hoy nos permiten vislumbrar ínti-

mamente el comienzo, la inauguración de un futuro desa-fiante. Las dos lecturas mantienen un sentido de seriedad. La primera lectura viene del misterioso Cántico del Siervo del libro de Isaías. La persona es firme y valiente. Su valentía y fortaleza no se fundan en su corazón sino en Dios. Se nos recuerda: “El Señor Dios me ha hecho oír sus palabras” (Isaías 50:4), para que el siervo comprenda la misión. Y dos veces: “El Señor es mi ayuda” (50:7, 9), para que el siervo pueda sobrellevar el sufrimiento que se avecina.

HAY QUE PENSAR COMO DIOS

En Latinoamérica a Satanás lo conocemos como Chamuco, Belcebú, Diablo, Cucú, Patillas, Pedro Botero, Lucifer, etcétera; aún así, procuramos evitarlo. Según los evangelistas Mateo y Marcos, Jesús llama Satanás a Simón Pedro. Jesús le dice Satanás por ser un obstáculo en el camino que Dios le ha designado y por no pensar según Dios, sino más bien, según sus criterios humanos. Luego de que Jesús anuncia que debía sufrir, morir y resucitar, Pedro lo regaña diciendo: “Dios no lo permita” (Marcos 8:32). Pedro está actuando como Satanás, y Jesucristo lo reprende, diciendo: “¡Retírate, ve detrás de mí, Satanás! Porque tus pensamientos no son los de Dios, sino los de los hombres” (Mateo 16:23). Jesús nos está desafiando a nosotros, no sólo a Pedro. Hay que pensar como Dios, no como la humanidad. Cuando pecamos, muchas veces nos auto justificamos, diciendo: “Soy humano”, como si el hecho de pecar fuera el único aspecto que reflejara nuestra humanidad. María nunca pecó. Jesús es verdaderamente humano y tampoco pecó. Jesús mismo comparte plenamente nuestra humanidad para hacernos partícipes de su divinidad. Por tal motivo, el pecado no define la humanidad. Jesús nos invita a pensar como Dios para apartar a Satanás.

It seems obvious to us that Jesus Christ is the Lord of second chances. We need look no further than Peter’s denial and rehabilitation for proof. Yet early Christians were more tentative with the gift of forgiveness. For them, every Sun-day was an experience of the Lord’s power to heal and for-give, yet there were three sins that placed persons at the margins of the community’s life. In some places, the rift caused by these sins was permanent. The sins were apostasy (denial of the faith), adultery, and murder. They were par-ticularly detested because of their power to divide and even scatter the community gathered around the Lord’s table. Fragile and persecuted communities could crumble and dis-appear under the weight of a harm done by a public sinner. Sinners were excluded from the community in the hope that “tough love” would help them come to their senses and ex-perience deeper conversion. Inevitably, lists of grave sins grew longer as various bishops added their personal pet peeves to the roster, and more people were required to do public penance. For them, reconciliation was a once‑in‑a‑-lifetime experience. Many sinners accepted their condition and hoped for a chance at a deathbed reconciliation by anointing. With more and more people permanently on the outs, the church began to struggle toward the light of the Lord’s unfailing gift of reconciliation. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
