Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
“Open my eyes, Lord”
“Abre mis ojos, Señor”
Today’s Entrance Antiphon directs us “to turn to the
Lord and his strength, constantly seeking his face.”
This exhortation is our road map for life as we seek to
witness God’s grace in our lives. The first reading from
Jeremiah provides an example of God’s promised
grace, the deliverance of the Israelites from bondage.
God said, “I will gather them from the ends of the
world«.I will lead them to brooks of water, on a level
road, so that none shall stumble.” This deliverance is
referenced in the Responsorial Psalm when the Israelites share, “when the Lord brought back the captives of
Zion, we were like men dreaming. Then our mouth was
filled with laughter, and our tongue with rejoicing.” The
Israelites’ joy was enhanced by their understanding that
God was interacting in their lives and would continue to
by sending the Messiah. Paul’s letter to the Hebrews
speaks to the promised one of God who would be “their
representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices
for sins.” Paul reminds his community that, “it was not
Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but
rather the one who said to him: ‘You are my son: this
day I have begotten you.’” Jesus is indeed our Messiah
who engages each of us. The gospel reading illustrates
this intimacy when Bartimaeus cries to Jesus, “Master, I
want to see.” Bartimaeus desires to see the Lord; he is
seeking to be delivered from the
darkness that has engulfed him.
We too are like Bartimaeus. Although not physically blind, we
can be spiritually blind. We seek
to see Jesus, to be near him, to
rest in his presence. We seek
the reassurance with which Jesus
blessed Bartimaeus, “Go your
way; your faith has saved you.”
La Antífona de Entrada de hoy nos dirige a que,
“Busquen al Señor y serán fuertes; busquen su rostro
sin descanso.” Esta exhortación es nuestra guía en la
vida al buscar ser testigos de la gracia de Dios en nuestra vida. En la primera lectura de Jeremías se nos da un
ejemplo de la gracia que Dios promete, sacar a los israelitas del cautiverio. Dios dice, “Los congrego desde
los confines de la tierra«los llevaré a torrentes de agua
por un camino llano en el que no tropezarán.” El Salmo
Responsorial hace referencia a esta liberación cuando
los Israelitas comparten, “Cuando el Señor nos hizo volver del cautiverio, creíamos soñar; entonces no cesaba
de reír nuestra boca ni se cansaba entonces la lengua
de cantar.” El gozo de los Israelitas aumentó porque
entendían que Dios actúa en nuestra vida y que mandaría al Mesías. La carta de San Pablo a los Hebreos habla de la promesa de Dios de quien va a “intervenir en
favor de ellos ante Dios, para ofrecer dones y sacrificios
por los pecados” San Pablo le recuerda a su comunidad que, “Cristo no se confirió así mismo la dignidad de
sumo sacerdote; se la otorgó quien le había dicho: Tú
eres mi Hijo, yo te he engendrado hoy.” Jesús es en
realidad nuestro Mesías quien interactúa con cada uno
de nosotros. La lectura del Evangelio ilustra esta intimidad cuando Bartimeo exclama a Jesús, “Maestro, que
pueda ver” Bartimeo deseaba ver al
Señor; busca ser liberado de la obscuridad que lo abrumaba. También nosotros somos como Bartimeo. Aunque
físicamente no seamos ciegos, podemos estar ciegos espiritualmente. Buscamos ver a Jesús, estar cerca de Él,
descansar en su presencia. Buscamos
la seguridad con la que Jesús bendijo a
Batimeo, “Vete, tu fe te ha salvado.”
