’TIS THE GIFT TO BE SIMPLE The Shaker hymn describes a circular journey from innocence to innocence with characteristic brevity: ’Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free. ’Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be. This journey is easier sung about than done. It takes humility and time to recover a second innocence. Titles, positions of honor, money, and power are not requirements of the kingdom of God. Jesus says and demonstrates in today’s Gospel that members of God’s kingdom must hold in their embrace the most inconsequential of persons, for that person is identified with Jesus. This attitude ran counter to the intuition of the world of Jesus’ time, as it does in ours. The simplicity set forth by Jesus requires the shedding of unnecessary, unimportant, false, and burdensome attachments that earthly power demands. Membership in the Kingdom is light enough to put a song in our heart. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE LITTLE ONE Jesus had just told his apostles that he must suffer and die and thus enter into his glory. But this was lost on the apostles, as they chattered on about who would be first in the kingdom. When Jesus asked, they were embarrassed to tell him about their childish “I’m first” conversation. So much hung in the balance, and they were worried about rank. So it was that he told them plainly that the one who served others would be first. Next he showed them. He gathered into his arms a small child, someone of little value and importance to people who felt that theirs was important work in the world. But Jesus tells them that in accepting the little ones they accept him. If we should want to know how to accept the little ones, we can look to the epistle of James that tells us exactly what attitude to bring. Be innocent, peaceable, lenient, docile, sympathetic, kind, impartial, sincere. Wouldn’t we love to know quality people like this? Who would not be drawn to them?

Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 20 de septiembre de 2015 Los pacíficos siembran la paz y cosechan frutos de justicia. — Santiago 3:18
Domingo 20 de Septiembre de 2015. Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Jesús va instruyendo a sus discípulos y les habla de la entrega y del servicio como actitudes importantes para la vida, y que Él mismo va a poner en práctica con su muerte y resurrección. Aquellos discípulos estaban programando su futuro ambicionando grandes puestos en ese reino que Jesús traía, pero ahora el Maestro les plantea otro tipo de ambición. Era evidente que no habían comprendido nada al Jesús que da su vida por los hermanos. Entonces el mismo Jesús se lo explicó: “El que quiera ser el primero, que sea el último de todos y el servidor de todos.” La expresión de Jesús es una nueva formulación del principio de la cruz: entregarse a la muerte es servir a todos como si fuéramos el último. Por lo tanto, hay algo esencial en Jesús y en sus discípulos: el servicio a la comunidad. Se podrán hacer muchas meditaciones teológicas sobre Jesús, discutir este o aquel título bíblico, pero ya tenemos un elemento sumamente concreto sin el cual no podemos "comprender" a Jesús. Y si Jesús es incomprensible sin esta actitud, también lo es el cristianismo y el cristiano en particular. La ambición es una actitud que debiera estar desterrada de la religión. La vemos hasta aceptable en el campo político o militar, pero ¿cómo es posible pensar que una persona pretenda el dominio sobre los otros precisamente en una religión? Sin embargo, no solamente vemos que dentro de las religiones se dan actitudes ambiciosas, sino que hay personas que usan la religión como forma de poder. Las responsabilidades en el seno de la comunidad han de ser un servicio. Debemos guardar un estilo sencillo, humilde. Y no aprovecharnos de nuestra responsabilidad para imponer ni para presumir. Debemos ser, interior y exteriormente, servidores del Señor y de la comunidad. Y valorar este servicio. Esa es la gran vocación del cristiano. Así nos lo ha recordado hoy Jesús, como en tantas otras ocasiones: la gran dignidad del cristiano, del seguidor del Maestro, está en servir a los hermanos. Hoy lo concretaba con estas palabras: "Quien quiera ser el primero, que sea el último de todos y el servidor de todos". Ojalá que nuestro servicio, generoso, sincero y a menudo escondido, sea acogido con alegría y deseado. Servir al hermano es servir al mismo Jesús. Servir al más pequeño, al más indefenso, al más necesitado, es lo mismo que acercarnos al Señor. Es acoger a Jesús, es acoger al Padre 9|

del cielo. Así lo hemos escuchado en la parte final del evangelio: "El que acoge a un niño como éste en mi nombre me acoge a mí; y el que me acoge a mí no me acoge a mí, sino al que me ha enviado". ¡Qué gran dignidad y qué gran vocación es servir y acoger a los predilectos de Jesús! Vivamos el misterio del amor de Dios. Vivamos la entrega de Jesús en favor de todos nosotros; una entrega que ha sido total. Él dio la vida por nosotros y nos la sigue dando. P. Jairo
