Refleccion Sobre La Palabra Del Senor
. “Como los profetas anteriores a Él, Jesús
profesó el más profundo respeto al Templo de
Jerusalén. Fue presentado en él por José y
María cuarenta días después de su nacimiento
(cf Lc 2,22-39). A la edad de doce años, decidió
quedarse en el Templo para recordar a sus
padres que se debía a los asuntos de su Padre
(cf Lc 2,46-49).Durante su vida oculta, subió allí
todos los años al menos con ocasión de la
Pascua (cf Lc 2,41); su ministerio público
estuvo jalonado por sus peregrinaciones a
Jerusalén con motivo de las grandes fiestas
judías (cf Jn 2,13-14)... El Templo era para Él la
casa de su Padre, una casa de oración, y se
indigna porque el atrio exterior se haya
convertido en un mercado” (C.E.C., 583, 584).
El Templo era lo que había de más sagrado
para un judío, el signo visible de la presencia
de Dios entre su pueblo. Es la casa de Dios,
pero sus fieles han convertido la religión y el
culto en un mercado. El trato con Dios ha
quedado reducido al cumplimiento de unos
preceptos con los que pretenden tener
contento a Dios. Es una piedad que actúa al
dictado del egoísmo, que quiere comprar a
Dios, asignarle un sueldo. Cristo rechaza esta
hipocresía con una energía tanto más llamativa
por cuanto que es la única vez que le vemos
emplear la fuerza física. Nos limitamos a rezar,
a asistir mecánicamente a Misa los domingos,
aportamos una limosna miserable, ejercitamos
una caridad de platea, nos desentendemos de
deberes que no se pueden incumplir, y
eludimos compromisos que no pueden
esperar.
Jesús expuso lo esencial de su enseñanza en el
Templo (cf Jn 18,20), pero dirá refiriéndose a Sí
mismo: “os digo que aquí hay algo mayor que
el Templo” (Mt 12,6). Tras la llegada de Cristo,
el Templo puede desaparecer porque Él es a
partir de ahora el signo del Dios vivo. “Destruid
este Templo y Yo lo levantaré en tres días” (Jn
2,19,21).
Los
judíos
presentes
no
comprendieron en ese momento que se
refería al templo de su Cuerpo y al anuncio de
su Resurrección.
También nosotros somos templos de Dios (cf 1
Cor 3,16), “piedras vivas” ( 1 Pet 2,5), de ese
Templo que es el Cuerpo Místico de Cristo. Hay
que estar vigilantes para no profanar ese
misterio procurando que esa morada no sea
invadida por la algarabía y las preocupaciones
que llenan un mercado. Vivir para escuchar y
alabar a Dios en medio de nuestras
ocupaciones, tomando incluso ocasión de esas
ocupaciones. “Mi casa es casa de oración”.
Este empeño por agradar a Dios eliminando
con energía lo que de Él nos aleja, tan acorde
con el espíritu de estos días de Cuaresma, nos
liberará de las ataduras de los ídolos, como
nos dice la 1ª Lectura de hoy, a cumplir los
mandatos del Señor y amarle como nuestra
mejor ganancia.
