Magnanimous Musings of Fr. John Robert Skeldon
When I was 20 years old and in seminary, I had the opportunity to go to the
1993 Denver World Youth Day. It was a tremendous event expecting to be
with all sorts of young people and with Pope John Paul II. I remember vividly
his homily on that Sunday in August in which he said the line: “Don’t be ashamed
of the gospel.” I remember even more vividly the correction he made to that line later on in the celebration
of the Mass. He paused and said, “I have a correction. I said ‘Don’t be ashamed of the gospel.’ Rather, be
proud of the gospel!” Instead of coming at the gospel from the negative, the Holy Father changed the
whole focus by emphasizing the positive: Be proud of the gospel!
This memory of mine dovetails nicely with the action of Jesus in the gospel. Depending on one’s perspective it could be interpreted as positive or negative. Negative, if one sees the temple and the religious establishment as the end of Jewish religiosity. Positive, if one sees that Jesus is doing something new, different,
open to something beyond this world.
“Zeal for your house will consume me.” What is our perspective? What drives us as Catholic Christians?
Are we passionate about our faith life; are we—dare I say—zealous in living it out?
We are covenanted to God the same way that the chosen people were covenanted through the giving of the
Law, which we were privileged to hear about in the first reading from Exodus.
A disciple once asked his teacher, “Rabbi, why are there so many no’s and you shall not’s in the commandments?” The master responded to his young apprentice, “There are not a lot of no’s. There is only one no:
Don’t go back to Egypt!” If we consider where the giving of the Instruction (Law—Torah) occurs in the
text, it happens after they have emerged from the slavery and oppression of Egypt. God through Moses is
saying: “Don’t go back to how you were before. Live as a new people, liberated from oppression and slavery and zealously bound to a new covenant through which, oddly enough, you are truly free.”
In the great Sinai experience then, God establishes for this people how they are to be different, proud, zealous from those around them. These things—difference, pride, zeal—are not bad if oriented to the proper
end, which is worship and love of God and love of neighbor. They are what drive our passion for being
Catholic instead of being something different. That’s the basic question, isn’t it: Why be Catholic when
you can be anything else?
Paul says, in the second reading, that what “we proclaim [is] Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews
and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called, Jew and Greek alike, Christ the power of God and
the wisdom of God.” Why be Catholic when it can seem such a stumbling block and such foolishness in
the eyes of others? Do we let ourselves be governed by others or is there some deeper truth, a more radical
zeal that compels us?
Jesus needed no one to testify to him about human nature. He himself understood it well. He also knew the
more abiding truth that compelled him to take the whip to the money changers and their hypocrisy. He was
different from the rest; he was zealous for God; he was proud of the Good News. Are we?

Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Robert Skeldon
Cuando tenía 20 años y estaba en el seminario, tuve la oportunidad
de asistir al Día Mundial de la Juventud en 1993. Era un gran evento
que prometía mucho, estar con más jóvenes y con el Papa Juan Pablo II. Recuerdo vivamente su sermón ese domingo de agosto en el cual dijo: “No se avergüencen del evangelio.” Lo que recuerdo mas vivamente fue la corrección que haría mas tarde en la celebración de la Misa. Hubo una pausa y dijo: “Tengo una corrección que hacer. He dicho, ‘No
se avergüencen del evangelio.’ Mejor dicho, ¡enorgullézcanse en el evangelio!” En vez
de llegar al evangelio por la vía negativa, el santo padre cambió todo el enfoque enfatizando lo positivo: ¡enorgullézcanse del evangelio!
Este recuerdo se acomoda muy bien con lo que hace Jesús en el evangelio. Depende
de la perspectiva que uno tome, la acción de Jesús se puede leer positiva o negativamente.
Negativa, si uno ve el templo y la institución religiosa como el fin de toda religiosidad de
los judíos. Positiva, si uno ve que Jesús esta haciendo algo nuevo, diferente, abierto a
algo mas allá de este mundo.
“El celo de tu casa me devora.” ¿Que es nuestra perspectiva? ¿Que nos impulsa como
católicos? ¿Somos apasionados por nuestra vida de fe? ¿Somos—me atrevo a decir—
celosos en vivir nuestra fe?
Somos parte de la alianza de Dios del mismo modo que el pueblo elegido entró en la
alianza a través de los Diez Mandamientos, de los cuales tenemos el privilegio de escuchar en la primera lectura del Éxodo.
Un discípulo le preguntaba a su maestro, “Rabí, ¿porque hay muchos no en los mandamientos? El maestro le respondió al joven aprendiz, “Solo hay un no. ¡No regreses a
Egipto!” Si vemos donde ocurre el texto de la Ley, el Tora, vemos que ocurre después
que han emergido de la esclavitud y la opresión de Egipto. Dios, a través de Moisés, esta
diciendo: “No regresen donde vivían antes. Vivan como un nuevo pueblo, liberados de la
opresión y de la esclavitud y celosamente cásense (átense) a una nueva alianza, la cual
curiosamente los hará libres.”
En la gran experiencia del Sinaí, Dios estableció para su pueblo cómo iban a ser diferentes, orgullosos y celosos por su Dios a diferencia de los demás de su alrededor. Esto—
diferentes, orgullosos y celosos—no es algo malo si esta orientado a un fin bueno, que es
el de adorar y amar a Dios y al prójimo. Es lo que impulsa nuestra pasión por ser Católicos en vez de ser algo diferente. Esta es la gran interrogativa, ¿no? Pues ¿para qué ser
Católico cuando puedo ser algo diferente?
Pablo dice, en la segunda lectura, que nosotros “predicamos a Cristo crucificado, que es
un escándalo para los judíos y locura para los paganos; en cambio, para los llamados sean
judíos o paganos, Cristo es la fuerza y la sabiduría de Dios.” ¿Para qué ser católico
cuando parece ser un escándalo y locura a los ojos del mundo? ¿Nos dejamos llevar por
los demás o porque hay una verdad profunda, unos celos radicales que nos motivan?
Jesús no ocupaba que alguien le diera testimonio de la naturaleza humana. Él mismo la
entendía perfectamente. Él conocía esa verdad profunda que lo mueve a tomar el látigo
de cordeles para sacar a los cambistas del templo, junto con su hipocresía. Era diferente a
los demás; tenía celos de Dios; se enorgullecía de la Buena Nueva. ¿Lo estamos nosotros?
