Esta exhortación del Señor es el mayor mentís a la ilusión de lograr la salvación por la senda de la permisividad, de un cristianismo light. Por ese camino el hombre no sólo no llega a su destino eterno sino a ninguna parte. También en esta vida el esfuerzo es el salario del éxito. En su homilía "Tras los pasos del Señor", S. Josemaría Escrivá, recuerda los tres caminos que tuvo en un sueño un escritor español del siglo de oro: "Delante de él se abren dos caminos. Uno se presenta ancho y carretero, fácil, pródigo en ventas y mesones y en otros lugares amenos y regalados. Por allí avanzan las gentes a caballo o en carrozas, entre músicas y risas -carcajadas locas-; se contempla una muchedumbre embriagada en un deleite aparente, efímero, porque ese derrotero acaba en un precipicio sin fondo. Es la senda de los mundanos, de los eternos aburguesados: ostentan una alegría que en realidad no tienen... No quieren saber nada de la Cruz de Cristo, piensan que es cosa de chiflados. Pero son ellos los dementes: esclavos de la envidia, de la gula, de la sensualidad, terminan pasándolo peor, y tarde se dan cuenta de que han malbaratado, por una bagatela insípida, su felicidad terrena y eterna"."Por dirección distinta, sigue diciendo, discurre en ese sueño otro sendero: tan estrecho y empinado, que no es posible recorrerlo a lomo de caballería. Todos los que lo emprenden, adelantan por su propio pie, quizá en zigzag, con rostro sereno, pisando abrojos y sorteando peñascos. En determinados puntos, dejan a jirones sus vestidos, y aún su carne. Pero al final, les espera un vergel, la felicidad para siempre, el Cielo. Es el camino de las almas santas". "Luego termina-, durante el mismo sueño, descubría aquel escritor un tercer itinerario: estrecho, tapizado también de asperezas y de pendientes duras como el segundo: Por allí avanzaban algunos en medio de mil penalidades, con ademán solemne y majestuoso. Sin embargo, acababan en el mismo precipicio horrible al que conducía el primer sendero. Es el camino que recorren los hipócritas, los que carecen de rectitud de intención, los que se mueven por un falso celo, los que pervierten las obras divinas al mezclarlas con egoísmos ". Consejo Espiritua “10ÚtilesSugerenciasParaControlarlaLenguay AcabarconelChisme” Jesús dijo que de la abundancia del corazón, habla la boca y que de cada palabra que sale de nuestra boca tendremos que rendir cuentas; Santiago, por su parte, en el capítulo 3 claramente nos desafía a utilizar nuestra lengua para rendir honor a Dios. Enseguida se describen diez útiles sugerencias para leer y tratar de aplicarlas a nuestro diario hablar. 1.- Orar: El Espíritu Santo Miren a los apóstoles! Antes de pentecostés ellos huyeron y san Pedro lo negó con su lengua. Después de la Primer Novena, que fue Pentecostés, hubo una transformación radical. Pedro lanzó una homilía de Pentecostés y logró la conversión de ¡3000 personas! ¿Cómo? Orando al Espíritu Santo. Una cortita pero potente oración: “Ven Espíritu Santo, Ven, a través del Corazón de María”. 2.- Pensar Santiago dice que debemos estar listos para escuchar y lentos para hablar. Por lo tanto, evitemos la impulsividad. ¡Piensa antes de hablar!¿Cuántas veces hemos hablado con la efervescencia del momento, sin reflexionar, hiriendo a la persona y teniendo que pagar las consecuencias? La Imitación de Cristo afirma: Pocos han lamentado por mantener el silencio, muchos por haber hablado de más. 3.- La Regla de Oro Recuerden esta preciosa y poderosa máxima de Jesús: “Haz a los demás lo que quieras que te hagan a ti”. Así podemos aplicar esto a la oración: “Di a los demás lo que quieras que te digan”. 4.- ¡El Silencio! Las madres a menudo enseñan a sus hijos esta lección: “Si no tienes nada bueno que decir, entonces no lo digas” ¡Gran consejo! 5.- ¿Agitado? En los momentos de agitación, lo mejor es evitar el habla. Es mejor retirarse a su habitación, rezar una parte del Rosario, y después entrar en una conversación tranquila y serena. En la agitación, el espíritu malo trabaja en nosotros y dicta nuestro discurso. 6.- ¡Ánimo! Aprende a decir palabras de aliento. Todos necesitamos esas palabras, de aliento, afirmación y apoyo. Sé un Bernabé. Él fue uno de los últimos Apóstoles y su nombre significa “Hijo de consolación”. ¿Por qué no formar un club “Bernabé”? 7.- ¡Perdón! Cuando fallen en su discurso perjudicando al prójimo, reúnan la suficiente humildad y el coraje para expresar dos palabras muy difíciles: “¡Lo Siento!” Shakespeare dio en el clavo cuando dijo: “Errar es humano, perdonar es divino” 8.- Lectura Espiritual Podría ser que lleguemos al vacío interior, y darnos cuenta que tenemos tan pocas cosas valiosas que decir. Formen un hábito de buena lectura espiritual (al menos media hora diaria) y muchos de los pensamientos santos y edificantes santificarán sus corazones y serán transformados en palabras que verdaderamente santifiquen a los demás. San Ignacio, en la “Contemplación para Alcanzar Amor” dice que ¡el amor se expresa dando! ¿Por qué no compartir los tesoros espirituales de su corazón con los demás? 9.- Recordar la Santa Comunión Recuerden que con la misma lengua que se recibe al Señor Eucarístico, el Señor de Señores y Rey de Reyes, también se habla. Entonces esperemos que nuestro discurso refleje a AQUEL que hemos recibido en nuestra lengua y en nuestro corazón. 10.- María como Modelo Miremos a María y pidamos su intercesión poderosa para que nos ayude con nuestro discurso. Imaginen a María hablando con San José, con Santa Isabel, con Jesús y con otros. ¡Cuánto amor, atención, bondad, mansedumbre, humildad, discreción y gozo!! Seguramente, María, que dijo “SÍ” a la Palabra de Dios, alcanzará para nosotros la gracia de expresar con claridad, de manera convincente y con caridad, cada palabra que salga de nuestra boca. “Proclama mi alma la grandeza del Señor, se alegra mi espíritu en Dios, mi Salvador
