3 Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time • February 16, 2020
What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart,
what God has prepared for those who love him, this God has revealed to us through the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10
First Reading God allows us to make choices, but we are not to choose injustice or sinfulness (Sirach 15:15-20).
Psalm Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord! (Psalm 119).
Second Reading God’s wisdom is mysterious and hidden (1 Corinthians 2:6-10).
Gospel Jesus has come not to abolish but to fulfill the law and the prophets (Matthew 5:17-37 [20-22a, 27-28, 33-34a, 37]).
Jesus tells us in the Gospel this week that He has come not to abolish but to “fulfill” the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets.
His Gospel reveals the deeper meaning and purpose of the Ten Commandments and the moral Law of the Old Testament. But His Gospel also transcends the Law. He demands a morality far greater than that accomplished by the most pious of Jews, the scribes and Pharisees.
Outward observance of the Law is not enough. It is not enough that we do not murder, commit adultery, divorce, or lie.
The law of the new covenant is a law that God writes on the heart (see Jer. 31:31–34). The heart is the seat of our motiva-tions, the place from which our words and actions proceed (see Matthew 6:21; 15:18–20).
Jesus this week calls us to train our hearts, to master our passions and emotions. And Jesus demands the full obedience of our hearts (see Romans 6:17). He calls us to love God with all our hearts, and to do His will from the heart (see Matthew 22:37; Ephesians 6:6).
God never asks more of us than we are capable. That is the message of this week’s First Reading. It is up to us to choose life over death, to choose the waters of eternal life over the fires of ungodliness and sin.
By His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus has shown us that it is possible to keep His commandments. In baptism, He has given us His Spirit that His Law might be fulfilled in us (Romans 8:4).
The wisdom of the Gospel surpasses all the wisdom of this age that is passing away, St. Paul tells us in the Epistle. The revela-tion of this wisdom fulfills God’s plan from before all ages. Let us trust in this wisdom, and live by His kingdom law. As we do in this week’s Psalm, let us pray that we grow in being better able to live His Gospel, and to seek the Father with all our heart.
AFFAIR OF THE HEART
St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church 4
Jesús nos dice en el Evangelio de esta semana que no ha venido a abolir sino a cumplir la ley de Moisés y las enseñanzas de los profetas.
Su evangelio revela el sentido más profundo de los Diez Mandamientos y la Ley del Antiguo Testamento. Pero su Evan-gelio transciende la Ley. Exige una moralidad más grande que la vivida por los judíos más estrictos, los fariseos y los escribas. La observancia externa de la Ley no es suficiente. No basta que no matemos, no cometamos adulterio, divorcio, que no mintamos.
La ley de la nueva alianza es una ley que Dios escribe en el Corazón (cfr. Jr 31:31-34). El Corazón es la sede de nuestras motivaciones, el lugar de donde proceden todas nuestras palabras y acciones (cfr. 6:21; 15:18-20).
Jesús nos llama a entrenar en nuestro Corazón, a dominar nuestras pasiones y emociones. Y Él exige la plena obediencia de nuestros corazones (cfr. Rm 6:17). Nos llama a amar a Dios con todo nuestro Corazón y hacer su voluntad (cfr. Mt 22:37; Ef 6:6).
Dios nunca nos pide nada más allá de nuestras capacidades. Esto es el mensaje de la primera lectura. Es preciso escoger la vida sobre la muerte, las aguas de la vida eterna sobre los fuegos de impiedad y pecado.
Por su vida, muerte y resurrección, Jesús nos ha mostrado que es posible cumplir sus mandatos. En el bautismo, Él nos ha dado su Espíritu para que su Ley pueda cumplirse en nosotros (Rm 8:4).
La sabiduría del Evangelio sobrepasa toda la sabiduría de este mundo que está pasando, como San Pablo nos dice en la epístola. La revelación de esta sabiduría cumple el plan de Dios de todo el tiempo.
Confiemos en esta sabiduría y vivamos por la ley de su Reino. Como hemos hecho en el salmo de hoy, oremos para que vivamos mejor su evangelio y busquemos al Padre con todo nuestro Corazón.
Lo que Dios ha preparado para los que lo aman, ni el ojo lo ha visto, ni el oído lo ha escuchado, ni la
mente del hombre pudo siquiera haberlo imaginado. A nosotros, en cambio, Dios nos lo ha revelado
por el Espíritu. 1 Corintios 2:9-10
COSAS DEL CORAZÓN
Primera lectura Dios nos permite tomar decisiones, pero no debemos op-tar por la injusticia o el pecado (Sirácide 15:16-21).
Salmo Dichosos los que caminan en la voluntad del Señor (Salmo 119 [118]).
Segunda lectura La sabiduría de Dios es misteriosa y escondida (1 Corintios 2:6-10).
Evangelio Jesús no ha venido a abolir la ley ni los profetas, sino a darles plenitud (Mateo 5:17-37).
