GOD’S MERCY
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIO
Today’s reading from the second book of Chronicles
contains a sort of “mini-history” of Israel. It highlights
God’s mercies in choosing Cyrus the Persian to be an
instrument of deliverance when the people were in
captivity in Babylon. Despite their sinfulness and the
deserved punishment they were undergoing, God’s mercy
was lavished on the people in the form of a miraculous act
of liberation.
The Letter to the Ephesians, in much more theological
terms, gives a similar account of a God “who brought us
to life with Christ - by grace you have been saved.” The
author stresses that it was when we were “dead in our
transgressions” that God saved us, an act of pure grace.
He emphasizes that it is not our own efforts that freed us
from sin (“this is not from you”); rather, “it is the gift of
God.” This, of course, is the heart of the entire Pauline
corpus, that salvation comes to us by faith in God’s
mercy, revealed in the death of Jesus.
Over the years, our tradition has come to see this
Sunday as a transition, a midpoint, an oasis in the middle
of six long weeks of preparation for Easter. The key is the
Latin word Laetare, or “Rejoice,” which was for centuries
the first word sung in the Mass for this Sunday. In
southern Europe, the first roses of springtime are
appearing now, and there used to be a custom of honoring
those to be baptized at Easter with roses on this Sunday.
Long ago, this was also seen as a day for celebrating the
ordination of priests. Many parishes retain the custom of
using rose-colored vestments on this day. Normally
flowers are banned from worship in the restrained season
of Lent, but here, midway, these signposts of festivity
pointing to the renewal of Easter springtime sometimes
make a quiet appearance. A project for today would be to
plant a few paperwhite or narcissus bulbs in a water bowl
filled with river rocks. Like those elect who will soon be
bathed in baptismal waters, they will come to full stature
in the Easter season.

o Juan 9:1-41 [1, 6-9, 13-17, 34-38].
VIA CRUCIS LOS VIERES DE CUARESMA
7:30 PM - ESPAÑOL - IGLESIA DE ARRIBA
LA MISERICORDIA DE DIOS
La lectura de hoy del libro de las Crónicas contiene
una especie de “breve historia” de Israel, que pone de
relieve la misericordia de Dios en la elección de Ciro el
persa para ser instrumento de liberación cuando el pueblo
estaba en cautiverio en Babilonia. A pesar de su pecado y
el castigo merecido al que estaban siendo sometidos, la
misericordia de Dios se prodigó en el pueblo en forma de
un acto milagroso de liberación.
La Carta a los Efesios, en términos mucho más
teológicos, da una versión similar de un Dios “que nos dio
la vida con Cristo y en Cristo [y] por pura generosidad
suya, hemos sido salvados”. El autor hace hincapié en que
era cuando estábamos “muertos por nuestros pecados”
que Dios nos salvó, un acto de pura gracia. Hace hincapié
en que no es nuestro propio esfuerzo que nos ha liberado
del pecado (“esto no se debe a ustedes mismos”); sino que
“es un don de Dios”. Esto, por supuesto, es el corazón de
todos los escritos paulinos, que la salvación nos llega por
la fe en la misericordia de Dios, revelado en la muerte de
Jesús.

TRADICIOES DE UESTRA FE
En Latinoamérica, como en muchas partes del mundo,
hay una horrible e impresionante pobreza. Enfrentado con
la miseria humana, el cristiano puede responder con
resignación “Yo no soy nadie, ¿qué puedo hacer yo?
Nada.” o puede responder con obras de caridad ayudando
uno por uno a los pobres y necesitados. Esta virtud, es el
pilar más importante de la conversión. Porque en ella
imitamos a Jesucristo que vino no a condenar al mundo
sino a salvarlo. Sin la caridad nuestros ayunos son dietas
y nuestras oraciones son palabras necias.
La caridad es una virtud cristiana, porque Dios es el
mejor ejemplo de lo que es la caridad. La caridad no es
limosna, es amor y justicia, es salud y salvación; es
cumplir con el mandamiento de amarnos los unos a los
otros en un mundo donde la mayoría son pobres y
desamparados. La caridad es dar al necesitado algo que
uno aun necesite, es obrar por cambios sociales que
promuevan la dignidad humana y el bienestar económico
de todos. La caridad es amor y Dios es amor; vivamos en
ese amor.
