MASS SCHEDULE
THE GREAT HYMN TO LOVE
FAMOUS FIRST WORDS . . .
It is doubtful that Saint Paul, when he sat down to write what we now know as the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians, knew that he was penning what was to become one of the keystones of Christian ethics. In this brief passage, he set down ideals about love that have held fast through the centuries. Sometimes we may think that because these are ideals to which we aspire, we are excused from them in our daily living. But what Paul was writing was a letter to his friends, providing them with some sound advice about what it meant—and still means—to live in love, day by day, as a follower of Christ. We find in his words to his friends a broadening of the great commands of Jesus to love God and neighbor. Today we hear what this love must look like in our own actions, and how it ought to guide our relationships with others.
Today’s readings are filled with some of the phrases from the scriptures that have become some of the best-known and best-loved: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” (Jeremiah 1:4), “Put aside childish things” (1 Corinthians 13:11), “No prophet is accepted in his own native place” (Luke 4:24). All three come from books of the scripture that bear the names of God’s messengers, all of whom have one thing in common. Jeremiah, Paul, and Jesus began their ministries with enthusiasm and energy, but soon encountered opposition. Nonetheless, we still know their words and lives, and so they provide inspiration and hope for us to continue doggedly on with the mission or ministry—whatever it may be—which God has granted us. Will living the life to which God calls us be easy and perfectly smooth? Of course not! Do we have reason to continue on in faith? Of course!

Domingo 31 de Enero de 2016. Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios
Para reflexionar

Cuentan que un capellán, se aproximó a un herido en medio del fragor de la batalla y le preguntó: ¿Quieres que te lea la Biblia? Primero dame agua que tengo sed, dijo el herido. El capellán le ofreció el último trago de su cantimplora, aunque sabía que no había más agua en kilómetros a la redonda. ¿Ahora?, preguntó de nuevo. Primero dame de comer, suplicó el herido. El capellán le dio el último pedazo de pan que atesoraba en su mochila.
Con la ayuda de la gracia, el cristiano descubre en su prójimo a Dios, sabe que todos somos hijos de un mismo Padre y hermanos de Jesucristo. La virtud sobrenatural de la caridad nos acerca al prójimo; no es un mero humanismo. Nuestro amor no se confunde con una postura sentimental, tampoco con una simple camaradería, ni con el poco claro afán de ayudar a los otros Tengo frío, fue el siguiente clamor. Y el hombre de Dios se para demostrarnos a nosotros mismos que somos superiores o despojó de su abrigo de campaña pese al frío que calaba y cubrió amorosamente al lesionado. buenos. La caridad se distingue de la sociabilidad natural, de la fraternidad que nace del vínculo de la sangre, de la misma compasión de miseria ajena. Sin embargo, la virtud teologal de la caridad no excluye estos amores legítimos de la tierra, sino que los asume, los purifica y los hace más profundos y firmes. La caridad del cristiano se expresa ordinariamente en las virtudes de la convivencia humana, en las muestras de educación y cortesía, de bondad, generosidad y tolerancia, que de esta manera quedan elevadas a un orden superior y definitivo. Sin ella la vida queda vacía. La elocuencia más sublime, las buenas palabras, y todas las buenas obras si pudieran darse, serian como sonidos de campanas o de címbralo, que apenas dura unos instantes, se apaga. Sin la caridad, nos dice san Pablo, de poco sirven los dones más apreciados: si no tengo caridad, nada soy. La falta de caridad embota la inteligencia para el conocimiento de Dios, y también de la dignidad del hombre; el amor agudiza las potencias, las afina y despierta. Solamente la caridad, amor a Dios y al prójimo por Dios, nos prepara y dispone para entender al Señor y lo que a Él se refiere, en la medida en que una criatura finita puede hacerlo. El que no ama no conoce a Dios, enseña san Juan, porque Dios es amor. También la virtud de la esperanza queda estéril sin la caridad, pues es imposible alcanzar aquello que no se ama; y todas las obras son infecundas sin la caridad, aun las más costosas y las que comportan sacrificios: si repartiera todos los bienes y entregara y entregara mi cuerpo al fuego, pero no tuviera caridad, de nada me aprovecha. La caridad por nada puede ser sustituida.
Ahora sí, le dijo al capellán. Habla de ese Dios que te hizo darme tu última agua, tu último pedazo de pan y tu único abrigo. Quiero conocerlo en su bondad.

Hoy podríamos preguntarnos en nuestra oración cómo vivimos esta virtud cada día: si tenemos detalles de servicio con quienes convivimos, si procuramos ser amables, si pedimos disculpas cuando no lo somos, si damos paz y alegría a nuestro alrededor, si ayudamos a los demás en su caminar hacia el Señor o si, por el contrario, nos mostramos indiferentes; si ponemos en práctica las obras de misericordia, con la visita a los pobres y enfermos, para vivir la solidaridad cristiana con los que sufren; si atendemos a los ancianos, si nos preocupamos por GRUPO DE JÓVENES ADULTOS “VIVE” los marginados. En una palabra, si nuestro trato habitual con el Te invitan a que formes parte de ellos. Edades 18-39.

|10 Año Jubilar de la Misericordia 31 de enero de 2016 Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Aunque con criticas muy favorables recibidas en la primera predicación de Jesús en su pueblo proclamando un Año de la Misericordia de Dios, pero el estado de animo se puso violento cuando Jesús habló de la misericordia de Dios que incluye a los forasteros y rechaza las distinciones entre ciudadano y extranjero, dignos e indignos, incluso pecador y santo. Muy lejos de ser la posesión personal de alguien, el Reino de Dios está abierto a todos, el amor es incondicional, la misericordia de Dios no tiene fronteras. Para este A ño Jubilar de la Misericordia el Papa Francisco repite el desafío de Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy para mirar más allá de nuestros horizontes hasta que veamos lo mismo que Jesús ve de cada pecador, Jesús ve un santo en potencia, y un prójimo en cada forastero sufriente. El Papa Francisco dice que Jesús constantemente fue más allá de la Ley, al estar continuamente acompañado con pecadores e incluso comer junto con ellos para demostrar que la misericordia de Dios es el “corazón palpitante del Evangelio” (Misericodiae V ultus, 12). Para ser verdaderamente discípulos de Jesús, ese amor incondicional y misericordia sin límites debe estar en el centro de todo lo que decimos y hacemos. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S.
