From the Pastor "I have come to set the earth on fire" One of the common themes that come with following Christ is endurance, perseverance in the sacrifices that we find ourselves offering and more often than not, we are advised to take that as part of suffering in union with Christ. On one occasion Jesus mentions it to those who want to follow him – us included that we ought be ready to, “deny oneself and take up our crosses and follow Jesus”. This compels many to identify with Christ because in him we discover that pain does not always win, submission to it only breeds more of it as a burdening experience; and so in Christ suffering never wins unless we give into it. It is Christ who has proven to us that sin and death have no power in the face of God and that we come to know how God has loved us through the suffering of his only and beloved son that we are to inherit eternal life. I bet this is what Paul want us to have in mind, that in our journey of faith Jesus leads, guides and finally takes us to the winning stand! Another reality is that, commitment to true Christian way of life has never been exactly a pleasant ride to heaven. The Old Testament gives us Jeremiah as an example. He became subject to hate, rebuke, jealousy and almost died in the pit of mud. Stephen, Paul and many we call saints today, were murdered! In fact, living and advocating faith is not exactly a popular path to take even in our world today; in Syria, in Egypt, Middle East and yes even in our country here, Christians suffer due to their commitment to be a voice of God, a town crier for just and fair treatment to all, or sometimes in their quiet comfort spaces of worship – you name it. This does manifest what Jesus highlights in the gospel, that being a true disciple will stir conflict of interests, will cause discomfort and bring hard feelings even to members of the same family. True discipleship in Christ sets fires on earth and nobody entertains that, not everyone loves that. To Paul's word, the world will witness us doing and saying things for a good cause and be sure in any of that – fires will get lit, criticism, rejection, and suffering will surface and giving into it is not a solution, rather take courage and forge ahead while our focus is in him who has it all.. Brothers and sisters, let's keep running the race “while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith” Hebr. 12:2 and when the going gets tough remember psalm 40 - “Lord come to my aid...O my God, hold not back”.

Peace! Fr. Mahonge

Del Párroco "He venido a incendiar la tierra" Uno de los temas comunes que vienen con seguir a Cristo es la resistencia, la perseverancia en los sacrificios que nos ofrecemos y, en la mayoría de los casos, se nos aconseja tomar eso como parte del sufrimiento en unión con Cristo. En una ocasión, Jesús lo menciona a aquellos que quieren seguirlo; nosotros también debemos estar listos para "negarnos a nosotros mismos y tomar nuestras cruces y seguir a Jesús". Esto obliga a muchos a identificarse con Cristo porque en él descubrimos que el dolor no siempre gana, la sumisión a él solo engendra más como una experiencia agobiante; y así en Cristo el sufrimiento nunca gana a menos que cedamos ante él. Es Cristo quien nos ha demostrado que el pecado y la muerte no tienen poder frente a Dios y que llegamos a saber cómo Dios nos ha amado a través del sufrimiento de su único y amado hijo que debemos heredar la vida eterna. ¡Apuesto a que esto es lo que Pablo quiere que tengamos en mente, que en nuestro viaje de fe Jesús dirige, guía y finalmente nos lleva a la posición ganador! Otra realidad es que el compromiso con el verdadero estilo de vida cristiano nunca ha sido exactamente un viaje agradable al cielo. El Antiguo Testamento nos da Jeremías como ejemplo. Fue objeto de odio, reprensión, celos y casi murió en el pozo de barro. ¡Esteban, Pablo y muchos de los que llamamos santos hoy fueron asesinados! De hecho, vivir y defender la fe no es exactamente un camino popular a seguir incluso en nuestro mundo actual; en Siria, en Egipto, Medio Oriente y sí, incluso en nuestro país aquí, los cristianos sufren debido a su compromiso de ser una voz de Dios, un pregonero de un trato justo para todos, o, a veces, en sus tranquilos y cómodos espacios de culto-lo que sea. Esto manifiesta lo que Jesús destaca en el evangelio, que ser un verdadero discípulo provocará conflictos de intereses, causará incomodidad y traerá resentimientos incluso a los miembros de la misma familia. El verdadero discipulado en Cristo enciende fuegos en la tierra y nadie entretiene eso, no todos aman eso. Según la palabra de Pablo el mundo será testigo de que hacemos y decimos cosas por una buena causa y de eso estamos seguros: los fuegos se encenderán, las críticas, el rechazo y el sufrimiento saldrán a la superficie y ceder no es una solución, más bien tome valor y seguir adelante mientras nuestro enfoque está en el que lo tiene todo ... Hermanos y hermanas, sigamos corriendo la carrera "mientras mantenemos nuestros ojos fijos en Jesús, el líder y el perfeccionador de la fe" Hebr. 12: 2 y cuando las cosas se pongan difíciles, recuerda el salmo 40: "Señor, ven en mi ayuda ... Dios mío, no te detengas".

¡Paz! P. Mahonge
