A message from Fr. Tony
Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
’TIS THE GIFT TO BE SIMPLE
EL DON DE LA SENCILLEZ
The Shaker hymn describes a circular journey from innocence
to innocence with characteris c brevity:
El himno de un grupo religioso llamado Shakers describe con
su brevedad caracterís ca un camino circular de inocencia a
inocencia:
’Tis the giŌ to be simple, ’Ɵs the giŌ to be free.
’Tis the giŌ to come down where we ought to be.
This journey is easier sung about than done. It takes humility
and me to recover a second innocence. Titles, posi ons of
honor, money, and power are not requirements of the kingdom of God. Jesus says and demonstrates in today’s Gospel
that members of God’s kingdom must hold in their embrace
the most inconsequen al of persons, for that person is iden fied with Jesus. This a tude ran counter to the intui on of
the world of Jesus’ me, as it does in ours.
The simplicity set forth by Jesus requires the shedding of unnecessary, unimportant, false, and burdensome a achments
that earthly power demands. Membership in the Kingdom is
light enough to put a song in our heart.
Es el don de la sencillez, el don de la libertad.
Es el don de agacharnos hasta donde debemos estar.
Este camino es más fácil cantarlo que hacerlo. Se necesita humildad y empo para recuperar una segunda inocencia. Títulos, posiciones de honor, dinero y poder no son requisitos del
Reino de Dios. Jesús dice y demuestra en el Evangelio de hoy
que los miembros del Reino de Dios deben abrazar hasta la
persona más insignificante, pues Jesús se iden fica con esa
persona. Esta ac tud era contraria a la intuición del mundo en
empos de Jesús, al igual que en nuestro empo.
La sencillez que Jesús presenta hace necesario un despojarse
de ataduras innecesarias, no importantes, falsas y pesadas
que los poderes del mundo requieren. Par cipación en el
Reino es tan sencilla que pone un canto en el corazón.
