From Fr. Jossy’s Desk:

32ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR C

Again, today we see why the Gospel is called the good news. Jesus said very clearly God is not the God of dead, He is the God of the living. Jesus is challenging the teachings of the Sadducees, who denied the resurrection of the dead. Which is the teaching of many in the world today. The Sadducees thought they had found an opportunity to “show how foolish Jesus’ argument regarding the resurrection was”. But Jesus crafts his reply in his own form, this then leaves the Sadducees and their followers and those who think like them today facing their own questions.

I think Jesus is showing us how important it is to learn to practice conflict management. One way to do this is to engage the other not in a “me versus them” approach, but rather to seek a common ground with the other whoever that may be. Jesus changes the question and he offers his own analysis. What a respectful way to dissipate the conflict. Because the question changes, then the emphasis changes and another point of view is presented. Stop and think for a minute of how true it is that conflict management lies at the heart of a good marriage, is it not the best way for parents to live with one heart with their children? Is it also not the way to live in a good work environment? In short, it’s necessary to live a good life, learning to manage conflict.

Jesus in dissipating the conflict, encourages deeper reflection regarding the resurrection of the dead. Who takes part in the resurrection? If the risen life is not like our life here on earth then what is it like? And even more importantly the question arises - How should I live on earth. What must we do in order to be part of the resurrection? All these questions were pertinent not only on Jesus but our own as well.

For me this question regarding the resurrection means I must face other serious questions such as –

What is my purpose? Why am I here? What happens to me after death? What happens to all whom I love after they die? Is what I am doing aligned with God’s purpose? Have I learned to listen to God in silence? Have I chosen to live a conscious life? Is spending quiet time part of my practice? Have I come to realize how very much I need some time for silence?

So whether I am called to work with major external conflicts or those that are internal and per-sonal. I must learn how to change the questions. To spend time in reflections and silence. And to find common ground with those with whom I live and work. After all, are we not all called to live in such a way that we too will join Jesus in the resurrections of the dead?

Mensaje de Padre Jossy:

DOMINGO 32 DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

Nuevamente, hoy vemos por qué el Evangelio se llama las buenas nuevas. Jesús dijo muy claramente que Dios no es el Dios de los muertos, Él es el Dios de los vivos. Jesús está desafiando las enseñanzas de los saduceos, quienes negaron resurrección de los muertos. Cuál es la enseñanza de muchos en el mundo de hoy. Los saduceos pensaron que habían encontrado una oportunidad para "mostrar cuán tonto era el argumento de Jesús con respecto a la resurrección". Pero Jesús elabora su respuesta en su propia forma, esto deja a los saduceos y sus seguidores y a aquellos que piensan como ellos hoy enfrentando sus propias preguntas.

Creo que Jesús nos está mostrando lo importante que es aprender a practicar el manejo de conflictos. Una forma de hacer esto es involucrar al otro no en un enfoque de "yo contra ellos", sino más bien buscar un terreno común con el otro, sea quien sea. Jesús cambia la pregunta y ofrece su propio análisis. Qué manera respetuosa de disipar el conflicto. Debido a que la pregunta cambia, el énfasis cambia y se presenta otro punto de vista.

Detente y piensa un momento en lo cierto que es que el manejo de conflictos se encuentra en el corazón de un buen matrimonio, ¿no es la mejor manera para que los padres vivan con un solo corazón con sus hijos? ¿No es también la forma de vivir en un buen ambiente de trabajo? En resumen, es necesario vivir una buena vida, aprender a manejar el conflicto.

Jesús al disipar el conflicto alienta una reflexión más profunda con respecto a la resurrección de los muertos. ¿Quién participa en la resurrección? Si la vida resucitada no es como nuestra vida aquí en la tierra, ¿cómo es? Y lo que es más importante, surge la pregunta: ¿cómo debo vivir en la tierra? ¿Qué debemos hacer para ser parte de la resurrección? Todas estas preguntas eran pertinentes no solo en los días de Jesús sino también en las nuestras.

Para mí, esta pregunta sobre la resurrección significa que debo enfrentar otras preguntas serias como:

¿Cuál es mi propósito? ¿Por qué estoy aquí? ¿Qué me pasa después de la muerte? ¿Qué les sucede a todos los que amo después de su muerte? ¿Lo que estoy haciendo está alineado con el propósito de Dios? ¿He aprendido a escuchar a Dios en silencio? ¿He elegido vivir una vida consciente? ¿Pasar tiempo tranquilo es parte de mi práctica? ¿Me he dado cuenta de cuánto necesito algo de tiempo para el silencio?

Entonces, si estoy llamado a trabajar con conflictos externos importantes o aquellos que son internos y personales. Debo aprender a cambiar las preguntas. Pasar tiempo en reflexiones y silencio. Y para encontrar un terreno común con aquellos con quienes vivo y trabajo. Después de todo, ¿no estamos todos llamados a vivir de tal manera que nosotros también nos unamos a Jesús en las resurrecciones de los muertos? Padre Vattothu Jossy, CMI Vicario Parroquial
