A PERFECT GIFT (This is the continuation from last week)

This hit home for me. We are now weaning my seven-year-old Charlie off a feeding tube. Although he's making progress, we still spoon-feed him and often wipe his face afterwards. I wonder how many people have

watched us feeding him in public and decided a life like his isn't worth living. But if anyone were to ask, I would say, "It might look a little crazy from the outside, but he's an amazing little boy, and it's a good life." It's like looking at a stained-glass window from the outside: The colors look dark, and you can't quite make out the figures. From the inside, however, with the sun shining through it, the effect can be brilliant. From inside our family, love illuminates our life with Charlie. What may seem dreary to others, perhaps even unbearable, is actually filled with beauty and color. We know, for instance, that Charlie has worked hard to gain basic feeding skills that most people take for granted, and we are so proud of his valiant efforts. Many parents want perfect children. Our culture is obsessed with perfection—a superficial perfection. Photos are airbrushed, and social media sites depict seemingly perfect lives. God calls us to seek perfection, too. He does not call us, however, to perfection of appearance or abilities, but to perfection in love. (Continued on page 2)

A PERFECT GIFT

(cont’d)

Christians know what perfect love looks like—Jesus offering himself on the Cross. Love in a family where one member has a serious disability may look unappealing from the outside. Indeed, love in any family is messy; there are faces to wipe and sacrifices to make. It's natural to fear that such sacrifices will require too much. But this is where the deep mystery of sacrificial love becomes apparent. In our family we have found that our hearts, rather than being weighed down, have become larger. Caring for Charlie has given us more patience, more compassion, and more love for others—especially those on the outskirts of society, whom Pope Francis so often calls us to care for. Perhaps this is why so many families of children with disabilities, despite difficulties, often radiate joy. When I meet another parent of a child with Down syndrome, there is usually a moment of instant recognition and understanding. Our eyes meet, and we smile conspiratorially, as if we're in on the same secret. The secret we share is the fundamental truth of our existence: every life is a good and perfect gift. Many know this on an intellectual level, but those who love someone with a disability see it in their loved one's face in a particular way. Our love for them has nothing to do with what they can or can't do. We love them simply because of who they are. Understanding this teaches us how to truly love everyone, whether they have a disability or not. We also begin to understand our own worth, which depends not on our skills or appearance, but solely on the fact that we are persons created in the image and likeness of God. Our lives—all our lives—are worth living. The author has a Ph.D. in developmental psychology and has been advocating since the birth of her son Charlie* for children who are prenatally diagnosed with disabilities. She and her husband are the proud parents of five children. *Name changed for privacy. 1 John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life) (Washington, DC: United States Catholic Conference, 1995; reprint, Washington, DC: United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, 2008), no. 92.

UN REGALO PERFECTO Esta es la continuación de la semana pasada Esto tocó me afectó directamente. Ahora estamos sacándole a mi Charlie de siete años su sonda nasogástrica. Aunque está progresan-do, aún lo alimentamos con cuchara, y a menudo después le limpia-mos la cara. Me pregunto cuántas personas nos habrán visto alimen-tarlo en público y decidido que una vida como la de él no merece vivir. Pero si alguien preguntara, yo diría: "Tal vez parezca un poco loco lo que voy a decir visto desde fuera, pero es un niñito increíble, y es una buena vida". Es como mirar un vitral desde afuera: Los colores se ven oscuros, y no puedes distinguir bien las figuras. Sin embargo, desde dentro, cuan-do el sol la atraviesa, el efecto puede ser brillante. Desde dentro de nuestra familia, el amor ilumina nuestra vida con Charlie. Lo que puede parecer sombrío para otros, tal vez hasta insoportable, real-mente está lleno de belleza y color. Por ejemplo, sabemos que Char-lie ha luchado mucho para adquirir la capacidad de alimentación que la mayoría de las personas da por sentada, y por eso estamos tan orgullosos de sus valientes esfuerzos. Muchos padres quieren hijos perfectos. Nuestra cultura está obsesio-nada con la perfección, una perfección superficial. Se retocan las fotos, y las redes sociales describen vidas supuestamente perfectas. Dios también nos llama a buscar la perfección. Sin embargo, no nos llama a la perfección de la apariencia o de la capacidad, sino a la perfección en el amor. Los cristianos sabemos cómo es el amor perfecto: Jesús ofreciéndose en la Cruz. El amor en una familia donde un miembro tiene una dis-capacidad grave puede parecer poco atractivo desde afuera. De hecho, el amor en cualquier familia es desordenado; hay caras que limpiar y sacrificios que hacer. Es natural temer que esos sacrificios requerirán demasiado. Pero aquí es donde el misterio profundo del amor abnegado se torna evidente. En nuestra familia, nos hemos dado cuenta de que nuestros corazo-nes, en lugar de estar sobrecargados, se han vuelto más grandes. Cuidar a Charlie nos ha dado más paciencia, más compasión y más amor por los demás, en especial los que están en la periferia de la sociedad, a quien el Papa Francisco tan a menudo nos llama a cui-dar. Tal vez es por esto que tantas familias de niños con discapacidades, a pesar de las dificultades, a menudo irradian gozo. Cuando conoz-co a otro padre o madre de un niño con síndrome de Down, por lo general hay un momento de reconocimiento y comprensión instantá-neo. Nuestros ojos se encuentran, y sonreímos con complicidad, como si compartiéramos el mismo secreto. El secreto que compartimos es la verdad fundamental de nuestra existencia: Toda vida es un don bueno y perfecto. Muchos saben esto a un nivel intelectual, pero los que aman a alguien con una discapa-cidad lo ven en el rostro de su ser querido de una manera en parti-cular. Nuestro amor por ellos no tiene nada que ver con lo que pue-den o no pueden hacer. Los amamos simplemente por quiénes son. Comprender esto nos enseña a amar verdaderamente a todos, ten-gan o no una discapacidad. También comenzamos a comprender nuestro propio valor, que no depende de nuestra capacidad o apa-riencia, sino exclusivamente del hecho de que somos personas crea-das a imagen y semejanza de Dios. Nuestra vida, la vida de todos, vale la pena vivirla. La autora tiene un Ph.D. en psicología del desarrollo y ha estado abo-gando desde el nacimiento de su hijo Charlie * para los niños que son diagnosticados prenatalmente como discapacitados. Ella y su esposo son orgullosos padres de cinco hijos. *Se cambió el nombre por privacidad. 1 Juan Pablo II, Evangelium vitae (El Evangelio de la vida) (Washington, DC: United States Catholic Conference, 1995; reim-presión, Washington, DC: United States Conference of Catholic Bish-ops, 2008), no. 92.

GOD’S WORD TODAY Last week’s Gospel of-fered us the story of the young man who asked the Lord what more he needed to do to enter eternal life. This week James and John ask the Lord not for what more they can do, but what more Jesus is going to do for them, since they are such faithful disciples. Their arrogance is quick-ly addressed by the Lord, who lets them know in no uncertain terms that who-ever wishes to be great must become the servant of others. Once again

what our society values is quite simply turned on its head by the Gospel. One of the best examples of what it means to serve is one of the titles that is used to describe the pope: “Servant of the Servants of God.” Even the one who is at the top of the hierarchy in the Church is called to be the servant of others. As we listen to today’s readings, let us pray that we will contin-ue to be formed as true Christian servants. From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copy-right © J. S. Paluch Company

LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY El Evangelio de la sema-na pasada nos ofreció la historia del joven que le preguntó al Señor qué más necesitaba hacer para entrar en la vida eterna. Esta semana Santiago y Juan le preguntan al Se-ñor no qué más pueden hacer, sino qué más pue-de Jesús hacer por ellos, ya que son discípulos tan fieles. El Señor encara en seguida la arrogancia de ellos y les hace saber con mucha certeza que quien quiera ser grande debe ser el servidor de los de-más. Una vez más lo que

nuestra sociedad valúa, el Evangelio lo vira al re-vés. Uno de los mejores ejemplos de lo que signi-fica servir se encuentra en uno de los títulos que se usan para describir al papa: “Siervo de los sier-vos de Dios”. Aun el que está a la cabeza de la je-rarquía en la Iglesia es llamado a servir a los de-más. Al escuchar las lec-turas de hoy oremos para que podamos continuar como verdaderos servido-res cristianos.
