March 22, 2015Cycle B

The man on earth is a traveler seeking the fullness of his life. In other words, every man is searching for the truth, the mean-ing of his life, his happiness. To accomplish this purpose, he walks different paths: studying, working, forming a family, traveling the world. He thinks that the fruit of his intelligence, such as science and technology, or of his actions in the social and economic fields are the answer to his questions. But an inner restlessness of dissatisfaction remains. There are other solutions? Just to find an answer, some people are turning to the religions of the world and also, in particular, want to know Jesus. To “Seek Jesus” is already a grace, it opens the heart and mind to something different and new. Jesus’ answer is radical. He is to demonstrate and to give love. Man thinks he knows what it means to “love”, but he does not. True love must be put to the test. An “hour” comes in which you think if you love God or not, if you love the others or not. It is the hour of suffering, of pain, of the total surrender to yourselves. It is the hour of “death”, sometimes even physically. First, God himself, because he is Love, showed us. He sent Jesus to express his love to men living in darkness and bondage of their sins. After he had success with his preaching and his miracles, Jesus sees that his “hour” is coming, the moment to show to the Father and to men that he really loves everyone, including his enemies. Jesus enters into deeper combat of-fering “prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears to the one who is able to save him from death”, but finally he “dies” to himself, gives up his will and agrees to suffer and to do the will of the Father. This is the way to “glorify” the Father, to testify to the end that God is love. It is the an-swer for those who had doubts about God’s love. By dying on the cross Jesus shines the glory of God, manifested the love of God. This is the love that breaks down all barriers, which is addressed to every man, even to those who put him on the cross, to his enemies, that is all of us. He is the seed that dies to bear fruit; it will attract to itself every man. The resurrection will be the fruit of this death. The Father will give glory to his Son by raising him from the dead. Risen Jesus is the glory of God the Father who wants to dwell in our hearts. It is the offering of his mercy, of his new life, of true love. This love cannot be bought. You can receive it for free and freely. This love is the answer to your quest for happiness. Only this crucified love will fill your heart.

Una reflexion dominical

El hombre en la tierra es un viajero que busca la pleni-tud de su vida. En otras palabras, cada hombre está en busca de la verdad, el sentido de su vida, de su felicidad. Para lograr esto propósito, él lleva diferentes caminos: estudia, trabaja, forma una familia, viaja por el mundo. Él piensa que el fruto de su inteligencia, como la ciencia y la tecnología, o de sus acciones en el alcance social y económico es la respuesta a sus preguntas. Pero sigue siendo una inquietud interior de insatisfacción. ¿Hay otras soluciones? Sólo para encontrar una respuesta, algunos están recurriendo a las religiones del mundo y también, en particular, quieren conocer a Jesús. “Buscar a Jesús” ya es una gracia, abre el corazón y la mente a algo diferente y nuevo. La respuesta de Jesús es radi-cal. Él viene para demostrar y dar amor. Los hombres creen que saben lo que significa “amor”, pero no es así. El verdadero amor debe ser puesto a prueba. Llega una “hora” en la que aparece si amas a Dios o no, si amas a los demás o no. Es la hora del sufrimiento, del do-lor, de la renuncia total a sí mismos. Es la hora de la “muerte”, a veces incluso aquella física. En primer lugar, Dios mismo, porque es Amor, nos se lo mostró. Él envió a Jesús para expresar su amor a los hombres que viven en la oscuridad y la esclavitud de sus pecados. Después de haber tenido éxito con su predicación y sus milagros, Jesús ve que ha llegado su “hora”, el momento de dem-ostrar al Padre y a los hombres que él realmente ama a todos, incluyendo a sus enemigos. Jesús entra en el com-bate más profundo ofreciendo “oraciones y súplicas, con fuertes voces y lágrimas, a aquel que podía librarlo de la muerte”, pero al final él “muere” a sí mismo, renuncia a su voluntad y acepta de sufrir y de hacer la voluntad del Padre. Esta es la manera de “glorificar” el Padre, o sea de dar testimonio hasta el extremo que Dios es amor. Es la respuesta para aquellos que tenían dudas sobre el amor de Dios. Al morir en la cruz Jesús resplandece la gloria de Dios, manifiesta el amor de Dios. Este es el amor que rompe todas las barreras, que se dirige a cada hombre, incluso a aquellos que lo pusieron en la cruz, a sus enemigos, es decir a todos nosotros. Él es la semilla que muere para dar fruto, que atraerá a sí mismo cada hombre. La resurrección será el fruto de esta muerte. El Padre le dará gloria a su Hijo al resucitarlo de entre los muertos. Jesús Resucitado es la gloria de Dios Padre que quiere habitar en nuestros corazones. Es la ofrenda de su misericordia, de su nueva vida, del amor verdadero. Este amor no se puede comprar. Tú puedes recibirlo de forma gratuita y libremente. Este amor es la respuesta a tu búsqueda de la felicidad. Sólo este amor crucificado llenará tu corazón.
