Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money changers seated there. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace." John 2: 13-16 Wow, those are some very powerful words and actions from Jesus in today's gospel (unless you are at the Mass for RCIA in which case you are hearing the story of the Women at the Well). Jesus was rightly angered when he saw how the money changers were bilking temple goers and worshipers (you had to exchange Roman money to pay for animals to sacrifice to God and to pay the temple tax since it had Caesar's image on it, which was considered a form of idolatry). He also was angered when he saw those who were selling animals because they weren't just asking for fair compensation, but were haggling over price. In fact, he was so angry he made a whip out of cords and drove them out! This incident helps us call to mind the need to clean out our temples too. I am speaking of the temple of the Holy Spirit which is us: body, mind, and soul. When Jesus tells us to pray what does he say? "Go to your inner room and pray to your Father in secret. And the Father who sees in secret will repay you." How cluttered is your inner room? Do you pray? When you pray is your mind filled with a million thoughts? What kind of thoughts? Needless to say, we all need spring cleaning so that our prayers are efficacious and fruit-ful. I hope these words from St. John Chrysostom will help you see the value of prayer above all else and inspire you to make the choices necessary to keep a clean and quiet temple. "Prayer is an all-efficient panoply [i.e. 'a full suit of armor' or 'splendid array'], a treasure undiminished, a mine never exhausted, a sky unobstructed by clouds, a haven unruffled by storm. It is the root, the fountain, and the mother of a thousand blessings. It exceeds a monarch's power... I speak not of the prayer which is cold and feeble and devoid of zeal. I speak of that which proceeds from a mind outstretched, the child of a contrite spirit, the offspring of a soul converted - this is the prayer which mounts to heaven... The power of prayer has subdued the strength of fire, bridled the rage of lions, silenced anarchy, extin-guished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, enlarged the gates of heaven, relieved diseases, averted frauds, rescued cities from de-struction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt. In sum prayer has power to destroy whatever is at enmity with the good." Is this your kind of prayer?

Del Pastor

Como la Pascua de los judíos estaba cerca, Jesús subió a Jerusalén. Encontró en el área del templo a aquellos que vendían bueyes, ovejas y palomas, así como a los cambistas sentados allí. Hizo un látigo con cuerdas y los expulsó a todos fuera del área del templo, con las ovejas y los bueyes, y derramó las monedas de los cambistas y volcó sus mesas, y a los que vendían palomas, les dijo: "Tomen estos de aquí, y deja de hacer de la casa de mi Padre un mercado ". Juan 2: 13-16

Guao, esas son algunas palabras y acciones muy poderosas de Jesús en el evangelio de hoy (a menos que estés en la Misa por RICA, en cuyo caso estás escuchando la historia de las Mujeres en el Pozo). Jesús se enojó con razón al ver cómo los cambistas estaban engañando a los asistentes al templo y fieles (tenían que cambiar dinero romano para pagar a los animales para sacrificar a Dios y pagar el impuesto del templo ya que tenía la imagen de César, que era considerado forma de idolatría). También se enojó cuando vio a los que vendían animales porque no solo pedían una compensación justa por los animales que vendían, sino que regateaban el precio. De hecho, ¡estaba tan enojado que hizo un látigo con cuerdas y los expulsó!

Este incidente nos ayuda a recordar la necesidad de limpiar nuestros templos también. Estoy hablando del templo del Espíritu Santo que somos nosotros: cuerpo, mente y alma. Cuando Jesús nos dice que recemos, ¿qué dice él? "Ve a tu habitación interior y ora a tu Padre en secreto. Y el Padre que ve en secreto te lo pagará". ¿Cuán desordenado está tu cuarto interior? ¿Oras? Cuando rezas, ¿tu mente está llena de un millón de pensamientos? ¿Qué tipo de pensamientos? No hace falta decir que todos necesitamos limpieza de primavera para que nuestras oraciones sean eficaces y fructíferas. Espero que estas palabras de San Juan Crisóstomo te ayuden a ver el valor de la oración por sobre todas las cosas y te inspire a tomar las decisiones necesarias para mantener un templo limpio y silencioso.

"La oración es una panoplia totalmente eficiente [es decir, 'una armadura completa' o 'una espléndida matriz'], un tesoro no disminuido, una mina nunca agotada, un cielo despejado por las nubes, un refugio sin interrupción por la tormenta. la fuente, y la madre de mil bendiciones. Excede el poder de un monarca ... No hablo de la oración que es fría y débil y carente de celo. Hablo de lo que procede de una mente extendida, el hijo de un espíritu contrito, la descendencia de un alma convertida - esta es la oración que se eleva al cielo ... El poder de la oración ha sometido la fuerza del fuego, ha reprimido la ira de los leones, silenciado la anarquía, extinguido las guerras, apaciguado a los elementos, expulsado a los demonios , rompió las cadenas de la muerte, amplió las puertas del cielo, alivió las enfermedades, evitó los fraudes, rescató a las ciudades de la destrucción, mantuvo el sol en su curso y detuvo el avance del rayo. En resumen, la oración tiene poder para destruir todo lo que está en enemistad. con lo bueno ".

¿Es este tu tipo de oración?
