HOPE AND LIFE Today's readings tell the story of two widows. The first reading relates the plight of the widow with whom the prophet Elijah stayed; the Gospel tells about the widow of Nain. In each story, the widow's only son had died. For people who lived in those cultures, the son was the only support of a widow, and the carrying on of the family name by the son was equal to immortality. A widow whose only son has died could lose all hope. Elijah and Jesus are the restorers of hope; they bring the sons back to life. Saint Paul was metaphorically raised from the dead when he experienced the conversion and call from God that he describes in today's second reading. What are Christians called to do today? We may not be able to raise the dead, but perhaps we can rekindle hope for a single parent. We may not be able to convert a persecutor like Paul, but if we speak the gospel openly and gently with our lives, we might touch a life with the Good News. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Today we return to using the green vestments of Ordinary Time on Sundays. Changing colors give a sense of the progress of faith through the seasons of life. For centuries, the number of colors and the reasons underlying them were left to local custom. Over time, we settled on six colors to express the character of a day or season: white, red, green, violet, black, and rose. Black is seldom seen these days, replaced by white or violet. Rose, really a dusty pink shade, appears at most twice a year. What does the color green suggest to you? Green is new growth, olives, evergreens, glistening emeralds, ripening pears, and fields at high summer. It suggests renewal, healing, fertility, peace, and harmony. In medieval Europe, green was the favorite color for brides! Did you know that drivers of green cars are the least likely to be stopped for speeding? Is it because of their own feelings of harmony and well being, or because law enforcement officers are filled with serenity when they see a green car whiz by? Take out a paint chart today and marvel at the many hues and names of green. The Church figured it out centuries ago: color really matters. --James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Décimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 9 de junio de 2013 Convertiste mi duelo en alegría te alabaré por eso eternamente — Salmo 30 (29):12, 13 Domingo 9 de Junio. Domingo 10 del Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Jesús se conmovió y lloró la muerte de su amigo Lázaro. Ante la viuda de Naím se vuelve a emocionar y conmover porque tiene un corazón compasivo ante el sufrimiento ajeno. Lloró David después de cometer su pecado; lloró amargamente Pedro después de haber negado conocer a Jesús. Lloró la Magdalena a los pies de Jesús el día de su conversión, y junto a la Cruz y ante la tumba abierta. En esta última ocasión Jesús le preguntó: Mujer, ¿por qué lloras? Ella lloraba por la pérdida de Jesús. También nosotros todos, en el camino de nuestra vida nos encontramos con hombres y mujeres que lloran, afectados por la enfermedad, la muerte, el pecado, o por la desgracia que sea y es para ellos causa de dolor. Como discípulos de Jesús, ¿qué debemos hacer? En ocasiones nos parece que hemos de dar explicaciones del porqué de ese dolor. Y nos equivocamos, porque nadie nos ha encargado dar explicaciones que, además, pueden no servir. Peor si nos atrevemos a decir que es voluntad de Dios: eso es un error, porque eso significaría atribuirle a Dios nuestras desgracias e infortunios, seria como decir que Dios quiere el mal y el sufrimiento para el hombre. No debemos dar explicaciones y, en general, las palabras suelen servir de poco ante el dolor o la tragedia humana, más bien estorban y sobran. Pero tampoco podemos hacer milagros como Jesús. Entonces, ¿qué hacer? Hay algo que hizo Jesús y nosotros también podemos hacer, y esto es conmovernos, sensibilizarnos. Conmoverse significa hacer compañía, es muy importante saber hacer, discretamente, compañía y, también, procurar ayuda. Hacer compañía y procurar ayudar, según el caso, es compartir el dolor con el hermano, sentirlo como propio. Sin necesidad de que nos lo pidan, sin querer tampoco asumir ningún protagonismo: con sencillez, es decir, con amor. Así seremos discípulos de Jesús, que vino a compartir el dolor y sufrimiento del hombre, a luchar contra sus causas, a anunciar la felicidad que Dios quiere para cada hombre y cada mujer. P. Jairo Para pensarlo ¿Qué es lo que nos hace sufrir y llorar? Quizá sea hoy un buen día para que nos preguntemos por qué lloramos. Si es por la muerte de un ser querido, si es por el sufrimiento del que somos testigos, si es por el pecado; o si, por el contrario, es porque no nos sale lo que teníamos previsto, por nuestro amor propio herido, nuestra humillación, traducida en queja. No olvidemos que la rueda estropeada es la que más ruido hace. ¿No será acaso que pensamos mucho en nosotros mismos? Jesús, que se compadeció de aquella mujer viuda, nos dice también a nosotros: No llores. Si tenemos un poco más de sentido sobrenatural nos quejaremos menos. Señor, Tú lo sabes todo; Tú sabes que te amo.

ESPERANZA Y VIDA Las Escrituras del hoy nos cuentan la historia de dos viudas. La primera lectura relata la difícil situación en la que vivía la viuda con la que el profeta Elías se quedó y el Evangelio cuenta la historia de la viuda de Naín, en cada una de estas historias cada viuda el hijo único de ellas murió. En la cultura de esos países en ese tiempo, el hijo era el sustento para la viuda y quien además continuaba la descendencia familiar que era igual a la inmortalidad. La viuda cuyo único hijo hubiera muerto perdía toda esperanza. Elías y Jesús son los restauradores de esperanza; ellos devuelven la vida a sus hijos. San Pablo, metafóricamente hablando, revivió de la muerte a la vida cuando él se convirtió después de la llamada de Dios de la que él habla en la segunda lectura. ¿A qué están llamados los cristianos hoy en día? Quizá no podemos revivir de la muerte, pero quizá podemos reanimar la esperanza de un padre o una madre soltera. Quizá no podemos convertir a un perseguidor como Pablo, pero si abiertamente hacemos vida el Evangelio en nuestras vidas, podríamos tocar una vida con la Buena Nueva. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
