Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Robert Skeldon
Hay tres puntos importantes sobre el evangelio de hoy que se deben para este tercer domingo de tiempo
ordinario. Primer punto, el llamado claro de Jesús en el evangelio de Marcos se resume en la poderosa
palabra Metanoeia / te (metanoeite) -que normalmente traducimos como Arrepiéntanse, pero tal vez se
represente más poderosamente como Conviértanse o Transfórmense. Literalmente significa más allá de la mente. En otras palabras, Jesús, al comenzar su ministerio público, está llamándonos a todos a ir más allá de nuestras maneras anteriores de pensar y
de comprender y percibir al mundo. ¡Ir más allá de nuestro propio entendimiento! Ver con otros ojos; escuchar con nuevos oídos;
pensar de una manera nueva... porque algo nuevo, el Reino de Dios está a punto de entrar en nuestra realidad. Tenemos que abrazar la virtud evangélica de Metanoia-conversión, transformación, para abrazar el reino, que sin embargo está a nuestro alcance.
Segundo punto. Después de la llamada a la primordial conversión constante con la palabra metanoia, Jesús sale a buscar y llamar
a ciertos individuos abiertos a abrazar el Reino de Dios. Es interesante que tenemos al Maestro de maestros, el rabino-que sale a
buscar a los estudiantes, a los alumnos, a los discípulos. De hecho, la costumbre del antiguo Oriente era que el estudiante buscaba
al profesor, al maestro, al gurú, del que aprendían las costumbres. Y, de hecho, hacemos lo mismo hoy en día. Vamos a un colegio, una universidad, buscando a un maestro, instructor, profesor-maestro, rabino. Ellos no vienen a buscarnos. Pero, aquí está
Jesús, el Profesor, el Maestro, en busca de discípulos que se unan a él para construir el Reino de Dios. Aquí está Dios buscando a
quienes quieran abrazar la virtud del evangelio de Metanoia para comenzar a cambiar la humanidad en un mundo mejor. Y él nos
llama a seguirlo.
Tercer punto. ¿Qué estaban haciendo las dos parejas de hermanos cuando Jesús los llamó? Pescando, ¿verdad? Si… pero, ¿qué es
exactamente lo que estaban haciendo? Es interesante enfatizar los dos elementos de la pesca que estos dos grupos de hermanos
estaban haciendo cuando Jesús los llamó para seguirlo. Simón Pedro y Andrés estaban echando la red. Santiago y Juan estaban
remendando una red. Ha sido durante mucho tiempo un símbolo de la iglesia: la red del pescador.
Cuando Simón y Andrés echaron su red, ¿creen que estaban siendo discriminados por el tipo de peces que iban a acarrear? ¡Por
supuesto que no! La atarraya solo iba a acarrear en el agua, lo que estaba en el agua. Esto es muy parecido a una parábola en el
Evangelio de Mateo (13: 47-48) en el que el reino de Dios se ve que es como una red que se echa en el mar y recoge en una tirada
todo tipo de peces. Sólo después de que el botín está en la tierra, los peces se separan.
Creo que la sabiduría espiritual que reside en este aspecto atarrayar la pesca es que en la iglesia hay siempre una amplia red. Se
trae a todo tipo; no hay divisiones ni lealtades partidarias. Porque eso es lo que significa la palabra católico: universal.
En cuanto al elemento de reparación, lo que Santiago y Juan estaban haciendo cuando fueron llamados, es muy evidente que si
una red no se atiende, se rompe se vuelve inútil. La captura de peces en las redes es difícil no sólo para los pescadores, sino también para la red. La red tiene que estar constantemente cuidada y remendada, cosida y vuelta a coser. Así también la iglesia. El
amplio elenco de la iglesia atrapa a todo tipo, y todos esos tipos no siempre se llevan bien. Por eso siempre hay que remendar.
Por lo tanto, tenemos un Dios que nos va a buscar, nos llama a la conversión (metanoia), de modo que podamos estar comprometidos en el trabajo de atarrayar y zurcir, atarryar y remendar. Cuando el pueblo de Nínive en la primera lectura de Jonás escucha el
llamado al arrepentimiento, a la conversión; lo hacen con sus acciones. Se convierten y lazan la red con los arrepentimientos remendados por su ciudad. Nosotros debemos hacer lo mismo.
Tal vez, a la luz del aniversario de Roe vs. Wade, y cuando pensemos en la vida este fin de semana, podamos redoblar nuestros
esfuerzos por ser personas que de respeto, reverencia y amor por la humanidad; los ancianos y los que están enfermos y moribundos; los discapacitados física o mentalmente; el inmigrante indocumentado; los pobres y los indigentes; el ladrón y el prisionero
condenado a muerte; y sobre todo, los que están en el vientre; los que aún no han nacido... ¡pero que ciertamente están vivos! Tú y
yo, a imitación de nuestro Maestro y Señor, estamos para buscar, encontrar una amplia red de amor y dar una mano misericordiosa
de remedios a todos nuestros hermanos y hermanas en el mundo. Se necesita nada menos que la conversión y transformación de
nuestros mezquinos corazones egoístas para amar con el corazón de Cristo, con el corazón de Dios. Esto es metanoia. Metanoi/ete
(Metanoiete) !Conviértanse!

Magnanimous Musings of Fr. John Robert Skeldon
There are three important points about the gospel today that must be made for this 3 rd Sunday
of Ordinary Time. First, the clarion call of Jesus in Mark’s gospel is summed up in the powerful gospel word Metanoei/te (Metanoeite)—which we usually translate as Repent, but perhaps is more powerfully rendered as Convert or Be transformed. It literally means beyond the
mind. In other words, Jesus, as he begins his public ministry, is calling all to go beyond their previous ways of thinking about and
understanding and perceiving the world. Go beyond your mind! See with new eyes; hear with new ears; think in a new way…
because something new—the Kingdom of God—is about to break into one’s reality. You have to embrace the gospel virtue of
Metanoia—conversion, transformation—to embrace the kingdom that is at hand though.
Second point. After the primordial call to constant conversion with the word Metanoia, Jesus goes out to find and call
specific individuals who will be open to embracing the Kingdom of God. It is interesting that we have the Master—Teacher, Rabbi—going in search of students, of learners, of disciples. Indeed, the custom of the ancient Near East was that a student went in
search of a teacher, a Master, a guru from whom he or she learned their ways. And, indeed, it is the same today. We go to a
school, a university, to seek out a teacher, instructor, professor—Master, Rabbi. They don’t come seeking us. But, here is Jesus
the Teacher, the Master, seeking disciples who will join him in building the Kingdom of God. Here is God seeking those who will
embrace the gospel virtue of Metanoia to begin to change the world of humanity for the better. And he calls them to follow him.
Third point. What were the two sets of brothers doing when Jesus called them? Fishing, right? Yes…but, what specifically were they doing? It is interesting to note the two elements of fishing that both these sets of brothers were engaging in when
they were called by Jesus to follow him. Simon Peter and Andrew were casting a net. James and John were mending a net. It has
long been a symbol of the church: the net of the fisherman.
When Simon and Andrew cast their net, do you think they were being discriminating in what types of fish were going to
be hauled in? Of course not! The cast net would just haul in whatever was in the water. This is much like a parable in Matthew’s
Gospel (13:47-48) whereby the kingdom of God is seen to be like a net that is cast into the sea and brings in a haul of all kinds of
fish. Only later after it is hauled ashore are the fish separated.
I think the spiritual wisdom that lies in this casting aspect of fishing is that we in the church must always cast a wide net.
All types are brought in; there are no divisions and party loyalties. Because, that is what the word catholic means: universal.
As to the element of mending, that which James and John were engaged in when they were called, it is very apparent that
if a net is not tended to, it will become torn and useless. Catching fish in nets is hard not only on the fishermen, but also on the
net. The net has to be constantly cared for and mended, sewn and re-sewn. So too the church. The wide cast of the church catches all types, and all those types do not always get along. Their must always be mending.
So, we have a God who goes in search of us to call us to conversion (metanoia) so that we may be engaged in the work of
casting and mending, casting and mending. When the people of Nineveh in the first reading from Jonah hear the call to repentance, conversion, they act. They convert and cast the mending net of repentance over their city. We must do the same.
Perhaps, in light of the Roe vs. Wade anniversary, and as we think about life this weekend, we can redouble our efforts to
be people who respect, reverence and love all human life. The elderly and those who are sick and dying; the mentally and physically disabled; the undocumented immigrant; the poor and the destitute; the petty thief and the prisoner on death row; and especially those who are in the womb; those not born yet…but who are assuredly alive! You and I, in imitation of our Master and Lord
who seeks us out, are to cast a wide net of love and a mending hand of mercy to all our human brothers and sisters. It takes nothing less than conversion and transformation of our petty, selfish hearts to love with the heart of Christ, with the heart of God. This
is metanoia. Metanoi/ete (Metanoiete)! Be converted!

and interiorize The Joy of the Gospel. We will meet weekly

You are encouraged to purchase a copy of the document for
yourselves. In particular, there are two versions that are quite
good. The first is by The Word Among Us Press. It has good
study questions with it. The second is the Image edition with a

Noble, or other on-line book sellers. The church will also have
books available for sale in the office before the classes for
