Reflections on the
Sunday Readings
Our Christian tradition teaches
us about priorities in living:
God, love of neighbor as
yourself, justice and truth, and
so forth. We all know,
however, that in the practical
realm of everyday life, values
are rarely ordered with such
precision and clarity. Actually
living the values we know to be right requires a
harmony of mind and heart, spirit and flesh. Today’s
readings challenge our priorities, our hierarchy of
values.
The gospel passage from Luke clearly identifies the
kingdom of God as our ultimate concern. The kingdom
does not result from human ingenuity; it is a pure gift of
God. The classic measure of priorities is stated by
Jesus, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also” (Luke 12:34).
“Thy kingdom come” is an unrelenting prayer and
desire for those who choose the kingdom in mind and
heart. The true believer is constantly prepared with belt
fastened and lamp burning. To doze off is to abandon
the ultimate quest.
Jesus speaks of priorities in the lives of Church
leaders. People in roles of leadership sometime
choose power over justice as their ultimate concern.
The leader is first of all servant. Jesus states the
leader’s responsibility in this way, “From everyone to
whom much has been given, much will be required;
and from the one to whom much has been entrusted,
even more will be demanded” (Luke 12:48).
The Hebrews passage today, the second reading,
presents Abraham and Sarah as examples of
responsible servant-leaders who are uncompromising
in their values. The lesson we learn from these giants
of faith is that God’s promises will always be fulfilled,
but perhaps not in our time for our viewing. “Faith is
assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things
not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

DOMINGO XIX TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Lucas ha recopilado en su evangelio unas palabras,
llenas de afecto y cariño, dirigidas por Jesús a sus
seguidores y seguidoras. Es lo que necesitamos
escuchar de Jesús en estos tiempos no fáciles para la
fe.
“Mi pequeño rebaño”. Jesús mira con ternura inmensa
a su pequeño grupo de seguidores. Son pocos. Tienen
vocación de minoría. No han de pensar en grandezas.
Así los imagina Jesús siempre: como un poco de
“levadura” oculto en la masa, una pequeña “luz” en
medio de la oscuridad, un puñado de “sal” para poner
sabor a la vida.
.“No tengas miedo”. Es la gran preocupación de Jesús.
No quiere ver a sus seguidores paralizados por el
miedo ni hundidos en el desaliento. No han de perder
nunca la confianza y la paz. También hoy somos un
pequeño rebaño, pero podemos permanecer muy
unidos a Jesús, el Pastor que nos guía y nos defiende.
El nos puede hacer vivir estos tiempos con paz.
“Vuestro Padre ha tenido a bien daros el reino”. Jesús
se lo recuerda una vez más. No han de sentirse
huérfanos. Tienen a Dios como Padre. Él les ha
confiado su proyecto del reino. Es su gran regalo. Lo
mejor que tenemos en nuestras comunidades: la tarea
de hacer la vida más humana y la esperanza de
encaminar la historia hacia su salvación definitiva.
“Vended vuestros bienes y dad limosna”. Los
seguidores de Jesús son un pequeño rebaño. No
vivirán de espaldas a las necesidades de nadie. Serán
comunidades de puertas abiertas. Compartirán sus
bienes con los que necesitan ayuda y solidaridad.
Darán limosna, es decir “misericordia”. Este es el
significado original del término griego.
Los cristianos necesitamos transformar el clima que
se vive en nuestras comunidades y hacerlo más
evangélico. El Papa Francisco nos está señalando el
camino con sus gestos y su estilo de vida.
