From the Pastor’s Desk… Until the end of the world When we suddenly find ourselves in difficult times, due to the mysterious or to the unknown, these

times may provoke in us a mixture of fear and hope. This occurs to us when we glimpse the imminence of death. Death is not the end of life. We do not live to die, as at times the philosophers sentence us; but we live and die so as to live in full-ness, as our faith implies and as hope manifests.

Jesus speaks to us today about the end of the world and of our final judgment. The Lord will come as a judge. In light of this truth, we can face our human existence in two ways: that of the follower of Christ that renounces all - in order to live a love without measure; or we may choose to live life enjoying all the pleasures of the present time - as if there was nothing to follow after death.

In light of faith, the end of the world is the triumph of life over death. So what will happen to us? How will our life's efforts end, our struggles, our aspirations? Someone dared to affirm that - life is just a brief parentheses between two nothings, if all we expect from life is nothing. So what final meaning do all our struggles, our efforts, and our confrontations make?

If we see all in the light of faith, then a ray of hope will ignite. Thus life, history and our world - are not just a useless passion; we are not trapped, nor are we yoked to an endless well where an eternal repayment is due. There is salvation.

When will this all occur? Revelation speaks to us of an imminent event, that "is already at the door". It could occur at any moment. For time is brief. The end of the world is not its destruction, but its destiny. In light of the final event, all the val-ues of life appear in their just dimension. We look with bravery at this destiny that expects us and we understand how it is imminent. We decide our future every day, that is why we should prepare ourselves as of now. When will that end be? When we want it to come, when we are ready and willing to make it a reality, when we live as Jesus taught us, in ac-cordance with the beatitudes.

My friends from today’s Gospel, we must retain in us - the invitation to walk according to the Gospel, supported in the saving Word of Jesus Christ, without seeking to know the day, nor the hour. Our actual call – is a call to faithfulness; like the first Christians, we are called to be faithful in the hour of persecution, and then the fullness will come, but it will come when Our Father wills it. Let us trust in His loving care, mercy and providence. God bless you, Fr. Oscar

Del escritorio del señor Cura… Hasta que el mundo se termine Encontrarnos de golpe frente al riesgo, al misterio o a un mundo desconocido, provoca una mezcla de temor y de

esperanza. Nos ocurre cuando vislumbramos la inminencia de la muerte. La muerte no es el fin de la vida. No vivimos pa-ra morir, como a veces sentencian sesudos filósofos, sino que vivimos y morimos para vivir en plenitud, como sugiere la fe y sostiene la esperanza.

Jesucristo nos habla hoy del fin del mundo y del juicio final. El Señor llegará como juez. A la luz de esta verdad podemos hacer frente a la existencia humana de dos maneras: la del seguidor de Cristo que renuncia a todo a cambio de vivir amando sin medida; y la del que vive disfrutando el placer del momento presente como si no hubiera nada después de la muerte.

A la luz de la fe el final del mundo es el triunfo de la vida sobre la muerte. ¿Qué va a ser de nosotros? ¿En qué van a terminar nuestros esfuerzos, nuestras luchas, nuestras aspiraciones? Alguien se atrevió a afirmar que la vida del hombre es un breve paréntesis entre dos nadas, pero si lo que nos espera es la nada ¿Qué sentido último pueden tener todas nuestras luchas, nuestros esfuerzos y enfrentamientos.

Si lo vemos a la luz de la fe se enciende un rayo de esperanza. Así la vida, la historia y el mundo no son una pa-sión inútil, no estamos atrapados, ni uncidos a la noria del eterno retorno. Hay salvación.

¿Cuándo ocurrirá todo esto? La revelación nos habla de un evento inminente, que “está ya a las puertas”.Puede ocurrir de un momento a otro. El tiempo es breve. El fin del mundo no es su destrucción sino su destino. A la luz del even-to final, todos los valores de la vida aparecen en su justa dimensión. Miremos con valentía este destino que nos espera y entendamos en qué sentido es inminente. Decidimos nuestro futuro cada día, por eso debemos prepararnos desde ahora. ¿Cuándo será ese final? Cuando nosotros queramos, cuando nosotros estemos dispuestos a hacerlo realidad, cuando nosotros vivamos al estilo de Jesús, según las bienaventuranzas.

Mis amigos del evangelio de hoy tenemos que quedarnos con la invitación a caminar según el Evangelio, apoya-dos en la palabra salvadora de Jesucristo, sin pretender conocer días ni horas. La llamada actual es la llamada a la fideli-dad; como los primeros cristianos estamos llamados a ser fieles en horas de persecución, y la plenitud llegará, pero llega-rá cuando el Padre quiera. Confiemos solo en Su cuidado, misericodria y providencia. Dios les bendiga, P. Oscar
