PRAYER AND REFLECTION February 16th, 2020 Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today’s readings build upon last week’s focus on expectations. Living the Christian life requires a deep sense of responsibility and a desire to go beyond the minimum of the law. Spiritual maturity and integrity lies somewhere between deadening legalism and a casual approach that mocks the rules and takes pride in “getting away with it.” We are given the freedom to act responsibly. We pray for the wisdom to discern what that means and to live accordingly.
PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL
Let us pray for our sisters and brothers and for the strength to live as we are called to live.
For the church: that it may support us in the work of living as responsible Christians...we pray, ™
For those who teach us by example, who live with integrity and at great personal risk...we pray, ™
For those who go beyond what is required to bring about peace and justice...we pray, ™
For local, national and global organizations that promote human rights, medical care of the indigent, social and economic justice...we pray, ™
For the courage to act responsibly, without fear of how we are perceived or what it may cost us...we pray, ™
For those who struggle with how to interpret or apply rules and laws; and for those who rigidly adhere to them...we pray, ™
For our parish ministries and the commitment to serve others...we pray, ™
For the sick and those in this community who are in need; and for those who have died...we pray,
Prayer: God who gives us freedom, we pray for the wisdom, strength and courage to live responsibly. Help us when we hide behind the letter of the law or are afraid to act with a higher standard of loving. Show us how to live as Jesus taught us to live. We pray in his holy name. Amen.

Não penseis que vim abolir a Lei e os Profetas.
Não vim para abolir, mas para dar-lhes pleno cumprimento.
VI Dom. TC (Ano A): Eclo 15,16-21; Sl 118; 1Cor 2, 6-10; Evangelho - Mt 5,17-37
Com a autoridade de Messias e Filho de Deus, Jesus conduz os ensinamentos antigos à prática perfeita. Os seus seguidores são impelidos a buscar a verdadeira justiça, agindo conforme a vontade amorosa de Deus. Jesus lembra o mandamento: Não cometerás homicídio (v. 21; Ex 20,13) para extrair um sentido mais radical. Compromete seus discípulos/as a preservar não apenas a vida física, mas também a integridade moral. Exige a superação da raiva como meio para conservar a fraternidade, sem necessidade de recorrer aos tribunais. Mostra que a reconciliação com o irmão é condição para celebrar o culto agradável a Deus. Jesus recorda ainda outro mandamento do Decálogo: Não cometerás adultério (v.27; Ex 20,14). Ele destaca que a pessoa deve centrar todo o ser em Deus, pois antes do ato físico, o adultério ocorre no coração. O Reino de Deus, a vida de justiça, cria relações diferentes entre homem e mulher. Por isso, ao retomar Dt 24,1-4, Jesus ressalta que o matrimônio é um pacto de amor e fidelidade (vv.31-32). Jesus afirma ainda que o empenho dos cristãos em viver a sinceridade e a caridade, torna inútil qualquer juramento. A 1ª leitura salienta que o Senhor dirige seu olhar para os que o temem (v.20). O ser humano, dotado de liberdade, tem a capacidade de escolher entre o bem e o mal. O Senhor deseja que todos escolham o caminho da vida, da salvação. O salmo, o mais longo do saltério, está organizado em forma de acróstico, conforme o alfabeto hebraico. Expressa a fé e a confiança na palavra de Deus, ensinando a cumpri-la e a guardá-la no coração. Na 2ª leitura, Paulo fala da misteriosa sabedoria de Deus, destinada para a nossa glória desde a eternidade.
Jesus revela a vontade do Pai e pede uma adesão total ao evangelho. Os seus ensinamentos apontam para o caminho da vida, libertando-nos de uma observância superficial dos mandamentos. É impossível honrar e prestar culto verdadeiro a Deus, se o irmão é desrespeitado em sua dignidade..
Oração
Deus, energia de salvação, tu não nos abandonaste aos nossos próprios caprichos, mas, por teus mandamentos, nos guiastes no teu amor.
Afasta-nos de toda hipocrisia e ambiguidade e faze-nos ouvintes e praticantes dos teus ensinamentos.
Oramos em nome de Jesus, nosso Senhor. Amém.
