Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

PARA LA GLORIA DE DIOS
La historia completa del pueblo judío va dirigida hacia una meta: que Dios sea glorificado por medio del pueblo escogido. Los crisƟanos también están llamados a “hacer todo para la gloria de Dios”. En las Escrituras de hoy Pablo nos
recuerda que la mejor manera que tenemos para glorificar a Dios es buscar el beneficio de “todos” tal como Cristo hizo
cuando derramó su sangre por toda la humanidad.
La lectura de LevíƟco explica una manera en que los judíos buscaban el beneficio de muchos, manteniendo a los
leprosos y la lepra alejados del pueblo escogido. Jesús encuentra una manera mejor: cura al leproso, que inmediatamente retorna a la comunidad para difundir la Buena Nueva de Jesús a todo el que le escuche. De este modo tanto Jesús como el leproso cumplen con su llamado de glorificar al Dios que nos llena “con la alegría de la salvación”.
