Lectura, as de Hoy Malaquias 3:19-20a

Salmo 97:5-6, 7-9, 9bc 2 Tesalonicenses 3:7-12

Lucas 21:5-19

Today’s readings can be seen in at least two ways.

First, we can use them as warnings. Watch out, the

end is coming and it’s going to be bad. A lot of Chris-

tians delight in the worsening world situation. But

Catholics do not scorn the world. We are sent by

God to be in the world and be leaven to the world.

Being a follower of Jesus is bound to lead us up

against the world. We may be doing our best, but

the world seems to be getting worse and worse. So

we might see today's readings not as a warning but

as a description of how bad things can get. Yet this

situation provides no reason to despair. God is still

God and is still caring and loving of creation. In

spite of the present darkness, if we keep faith there

will be a new dawn of healing and justice.

It is not up to us to save the world, but to be faithful

to our mission to speak and live good news. As long

as we witness to what we know of our loving God, we

can rest assured that in the end “not a hair of your

head will perish.” Such good news comforts us and

all our world in our times of crisis. We and our com-

munity need to reassure ourselves frequently with

this good news.

Las lecturas de hoy se pueden ver al menos de dos

maneras. Primero, podemos usarlos como advertencias.

Cuidado, se acerca el final y va a ser malo. Muchos

cristianos se deleitan en el empeoramiento de la situ-

ación mundial. Pero los católicos no desprecian al mun-

do. Somos enviados por Dios para estar en el mundo y

ser levadura para el mundo.

Ser un seguidor de Jesús nos llevará al mundo. Puede

que estemos haciendo nuestro mejor esfuerzo, pero el

mundo parece estar cada vez peor. Por lo tanto, po-

dríamos ver las lecturas de hoy no como una adverten-

cia, sino como una descripción de lo mal que pueden

ponerse las cosas. Sin embargo, esta situación no ofrece

motivos para desesperarse.

Dios sigue siendo Dios y sigue cuidando y amando la

creación. A pesar de la oscuridad actual, si mantene-

mos la fe habrá un nuevo amanecer de curación y justi-

cia.

No depende de nosotros salvar el mundo, sino ser fieles

a nuestra misión de hablar y vivir buenas noticias.

Mientras seamos testigos de lo que sabemos de nuestro

Dios amoroso,

podemos estar seguros de que al final "ni un pelo de tu

cabeza perecerá". Estas buenas noticias nos consuelan

a nosotros y a todo nuestro mundo en nuestros tiempos

de crisis. Nosotros y nuestra comunidad necesitamos

tranquilizarnos con frecuencia con esta buena noticia.
