Homilía De Hoy

• En caso de que el “Reino

pacífico de Dios” pudiera

parecer demasiado bueno

para ser real, Isaías describe el instrumento de Dios para esa paz y el

que traerá la justicia de Dios al afligido como el ungido con el

Espíritu transformador. Los dones de ese Espíritu son los mismos

que se nos otorgan a nosotros en la Confirmación y que esperan,

como semillas enterradas bajo la nieve del invierno, para florecer en

la realidad de nuestro testimonio de cada día. Por eso Pablo nos

exhorta a poner nuestro corazón y nuestras manos en la realización

de esa visión de Adviento, vislumbrada en Isaías y encarnada en

Cristo: vivan “en perfecta armonía unos con los otros . . . con un solo

corazón y una sola voz alaben a Dios . . . Acójanse los unos a los

otros como Cristo los acogió a ustedes” (Romanos 15:5, 6, 7).

• Ya que nuestro propio Bautismo, como el de san Juan Bautista, no

es un mero rito, sino una conversión definitiva, la advertencia de

Juan a los cumplidores de las normas religiosas de su época es

oportuna para nosotros. La membresía formal en la comunidad de la

alianza de Dios no garantiza en sí misma la ciudadanía del Reino.

Éstos son tiempos urgentes y nuestro propio tiempo se aminora. Sólo

el fruto bueno perdona al árbol del hacha y aún hoy “el hacha está

puesta a la raíz” (Mateo 3:10).

• Así y todo, aun cuando hacemos caso de la seriedad con que Juan

describe el Adviento, hay que tener cautela de que no sólo sea el

miedo lo que nos motive o de ser tentados a posar como asistentes

del Mesías en la separación del trigo de la paja. Pues, ¿acaso es Jesús

el Mesías aterrador que describe Juan? Échale un vistazo al domingo

que viene: al oír acerca de las obras de sanación y perdón del

Mesías, y no de un vengador con el bieldo en la mano, hasta el

mismo Juan busca una clarificación. Cierto es que el Adviento, como

el discipulado, nos llama a una convicción más firme y un

compromiso más profundo; pero Jesús también nos llama, en igual

medida, a la misericordia y la compasión.

Pregunta de la semana

¿Qué cosa concreta y “pacífica” puedo hacer esta semana para traer

un vislumbre del “reino pacífico” de Isaías a mi pequeño rincón del

mundo?
