STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION

The Book of Daniel, from which our First Reading is drawn, was written some two centuries before the birth of Christ. This is only significant in that many of the prophets (Daniel is considered one of the major prophets) lived as many as six centuries before Christ. However, regardless the timeline, we need to be moved by and appreciative of the prophecies we find in the Old Testament. In the partic-ular passage in today’s reading it states, “The one like a Son of Man received dominion, glory, and kingship.”

Today, of course, is the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, and this reading very much parallels what is portrayed in the Transfiguration. The interesting point within this reading from Daniel, however, is that it refers to the “Son of Man,” which is the term Jesus Himself used most often to describe Himself.

We have referenced this fact previously. In fact, the term “Son of Man” occurs 85 times in the Gospels, and in 83 of them it is Jesus who uses the term. (It appears 32 times in Matthew; 15 times in Mark; 26 times in Luke; and 12 times in John, and it is in John where it is used twice by someone other than Jesus.)

The important point for us is that Jesus calling Himself the Son of Man explains that He was born of a woman, and He shares in our earthly conditions and sufferings. That fact should make us want to embrace Him as our Savior, our Friend, and our Shepherd even more.

REFLECION DOMINICAL El Libro de Daniel, de donde se extrae nuestra Primera Lectura, fue escrito unos dos siglos antes del nacimiento de Cristo. Esto es sólo significativo en que muchos de los profetas (Daniel es considerado uno de los profetas más importantes) vivieron hasta seis siglos antes de Cristo. Sin embargo, independientemente de la línea de tiempo, necesitamos ser movidos y apreciativos de las profecías que encontramos en el Antiguo Testamento. En el pasaje particular de la lectura de hoy dice: "El que como Hijo de Hombre recibió dominio, gloria y realeza".

Hoy, por supuesto, es la Fiesta de la Transfiguración del Señor, y esta lectura es muy similar a lo que se retrata en la Transfiguración. El punto interesante dentro de esta lectura de Daniel, sin embargo, es que se refiere al "Hijo del Hombre", que es el término que Jesús mismo usó con más frecuencia para describirse a sí mismo.

Hemos hecho referencia a este hecho anteriormente. De hecho, el término "Hijo del Hombre" se produce 85 veces en los Evangelios, y en 83 de ellos es Jesús quien usa el término. (Aparece 32 veces en Mateo, 15 veces en Marcos, 26 en Lucas y 12 veces en Juan, y es en Juan donde es usado dos veces por alguien que no sea Jesús).

El punto importante para nosotros es que Jesús llamándose el Hijo del Hombre explica que Él nació de una mujer, y Él comparte nuestras condiciones y sufrimientos terrenales. Ese hecho debe hacernos querer abrazarlo como nuestro Salvador, nuestro Amigo y nuestro Pastor aún más.
