Please call them. Midnight Musings / Pensamientos de Media Noche It’s All About Us Todo se Trata de Nosotros It may seem like a broken record. We hear the same themes over and over again. Every time we hear the gospel preached; every time we hear the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass: “We proclaim your Death, O Lord, and profess your Resurrection until you come again.” The recurring emphasis on the death and resurrection of Jesus points us to the very center of our faith, the quintessential “mystery of faith” as St. Paul calls it (I Timothy 3:9). As we prepare to enter the sacred seasons of Lent and Eastertime, we will approach that same death and resurrection from many sides. This central “mystery of faith” has several levers of meaning. Death and Resurrection in the Story of Jesus. His death and resurrection established the Church. “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is in vain and you are still in your sins” (I Corinthians 15:17). The ministry of the historical Jesus climaxed in his death on the cross through which he entered the transforming experience of resurrection to new life in God’s kingdom. His Easter appearances to disciples revealed the good news that what God did for Jesus he wants to do for all of us. We can live forever in the fullness of life, joy and peace! Death and Resurrection in the Sacrament of Baptism. In this sacrament we ritually imitate and celebrate dying and rising with Christ. “Are you not aware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Through baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live a new life. If we have been united with him through likeness to his death, so shall we be through a like resurrection… You must consider yourselves dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus” (Romans 6:35, 11). Death and Resurrection in the Life of Disciples. Baptized into the Lord’s death and resurrection, we daily die to sin and rise to a new life in Christ. “Put to death, then, the parts of you that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry.… anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths. Stop lying to one another… Because you are God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with heartfelt mercy, with kindness, humility, meekness, and patience” (Colossians 3:5, 8-9, 12). Jesus advises us on Ash Wednesday to use prayer, fasting and works of mercy to die to selfishness and to rise to a new life of love for God and others. Lent and Easter are not just about Jesus in the past, but about our dying and rising in the present as new persons through our Lenten observances. Watch our catechumens preparing for baptism and our candidates preparing for Confirmation and Eucharist; they are dying and rising. That’s what can happen in all our lives. It’s all about us. Tal parece un disco rayado. Escuchamos el mismo tema una y otra vez. Cada vez que escuchamos la prédica del evangelio, cada vez que escuchamos la Oración Eucarística en la Misa: “Anuciamos tu muerte, proclamamos tu resurrección, ¡Ven, Señor Jesús!” El énfasis recurrente en la muerte y la resurrección de Jesús nos señala el epicentro de nuestra fe, el “misterio de la fe”, como dice San Pablo en (1 Timoteo 3: 9). Al tiempo que nos preparamos para comenzar la sagrada temporada de la Cuaresma y la Pascua, afrontaremos la misma muerte y resurrección de diferentes ángulos. Este central “misterio de la fe” tiene diferentes palancas de significado. La Muerte y Resurrección en la Historia de Jesús. Su muerte y resurrección establecieron la Iglesia. “Si Cristo no ha resucitado, la fe de ustedes es ilusoria, y sus pecados no han sido perdonados” (1 Corintios 15: 17). El misterio del histórico climax de Jesús en su muerte en la cruz a través de la cual entra en la transformadora experiencia de la resurrección a una nueva vida en el reino de Dios. Su aparición en la Pascua a sus discípulos revela la buena noticia de que Dios hizo por Jesús lo que él quiere hacer por todos nosotros. Podemos vivir para siempre en una vida plena, feliz y en paz. La Muerte y Resurrección en el Sacramento del Bautismo. En este sacramento ritualmente celebramos la muerte y resurrección con Cristo. “¿No saben que cuantos fuimos bautizados en Cristo Jesús, fuimos bautizados en su muerte? Por el bautismo fuimos sepultados con él en la muerte, para que así como Cristo resucitó de la muerte por la acción gloriosa del Padre, también nosotros llevemos una vida nueva. Si nos hemos identificado en él por una muerte como la suya, también nos identificaremos con él en la resurrección... Lo mismo ustedes, considérense muertos al pecado y vivos para Dios en Cristo Jesús”(Romanos 6: 3-5, 11). La Muerte y Resurreción en la Vida de los Discípulos. Bautizados en la muerte y resurreccíon del Señor, nosotros diariamente morimos al pecado y resucitamos a una nueva vida en Cristo. “Por tanto hagan morir en ustedes todo lo terrenal: la inmoralidad sexual, la impureza, la pasión desordenada, los malos deseos y la avaricia, que es una especie de idolatría. Por ahora dejen todo eso: el enojo, la pasión, la maldad, los insultos y las palabras indecentes. No se mientan unos a otros... Como elejidos de Dios, consagrados y amados, revistance de sentimientos de profunda compasión, de amabilidad, de humildad, de mansedumbre, de paciencia” (Colosenses 3: 5, 8-9,12). En el Miércoles de Ceniza Jesús nos advierte que hagamos uso de la oración, el ayuno y de las obras de caridad para acabar el egoísmo y resucitar a una nueva vida de amor por Dios y los demás. La Cuaresma y la Pascua no son sólo sobre Jesús en el pasado, sino sobre nuestra muerte y resurrección en el presente como una nueva persona a través de la observancia de la Cuaresma. Vean a nuestros Catecúmenos preparándose para el Bautismo y nuestro candidatos preparándose para la Confirmación.
