Magnanimous Musings of Fr. John Robert Skeldon
“For God so loved the world…” (John 3:16). This most famous of biblical
texts lies at the heart of the gospel passage for this 4th Sunday of Lent, which the
tradition of the Church calls Laetare Sunday, the Latin imperative for Be happy!
It is sort of a midpoint in the season of Lent, this season of repentance and
metanoia. We have every reason to be happy, as the great feast of Easter and the
victory of Christ’s resurrection draws ever closer once again.
The greatest reason we have, as human beings, for being happy is that God
indeed does love the world: God who is “rich in mercy” as the second reading
from the letter to the Ephesians says; God who “had compassion on his people
and his dwelling place” as the first reading from the second book of Chronicles
relates. Human beings—all of us—do not have to weep any longer, hanging up
our harps on the trees of a foreign land (see the responsorial psalm: Psalm 137).
We can be happy, because “God gave his only begotten Son so that whoever puts
his faith in him might not perish, but rather might have eternal life.” God does
not want us to perish; he wants us to truly be alive…to live eternally. So what
are we waiting for?, as Pope Francis asks. Be happy then!

Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Robert Skeldon
"Porque tanto amó Dios al mundo..." (Juan 3:16). Este el más famoso de los
textos bíblicos que se encuentra en el corazón del pasaje del evangelio de este cuarto
domingo de Cuaresma, que la tradición de la Iglesia llama domingo Laetare, el imperativo para ¡ser feliz! Estamos en una especie de punto medio en la temporada de
Cuaresma, en esta temporada de arrepentimiento y metanoía. Tenemos todas las razones para ser feliz, como la gran fiesta de la Pascua y la victoria de la resurrección
de Cristo que se acercan cada vez más, una vez más.
La razón más grande que tenemos, como seres humanos, para ser feliz es que
Dios en verdad ama al mundo: Dios que es "rico en misericordia" como la segunda
lectura de la carta a los Efesios dice; Dios, que «tuvo compasión de su pueblo y de
su morada" como la primera lectura del segundo libro de Crónicas relata. Los seres
humanos -todos nosotros- no tenemos que llorar más, colgar nuestras arpas sobre los
árboles de un país extranjero (véase el salmo responsorial: Salmo 137). Podemos ser
felices, porque "Dios nos entregó a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo el que ponga su
fe en él, no perezca, sino que tenga vida eterna." Dios no quiere que perezcamos; él
quiere que estemos realmente vivos... a vivir eternamente. Entonces, ¿qué estamos
esperando?, como el Papa Francisco pide. ¡Sé feliz, entonces!
