LITURGIA DEL DǏA
En este segundo domingo de Adviento nuestro enfoque comienza a
cambiar del final de los tiempos hacia el tiempo inmediatamente antes
de la primera venida de Cristo al mundo. Mas sin embargo, el mensaje
es el mismo: el Reino de Dios está cerca. Juntos aquí hoy para dar
culto a Dios prestemos atención a Juan el Bautista, cuyo mensaje de
tanto tiempo atrás para preparar a aquellos en Israel encuentra eco en
nuestro propio corazón: “Preparen el camino del Señor, enderecen sus
senderos”.
LITURGY OF THE DAY
On this Second Sunday of Advent our focus begins to shift from the
end of time to the time immediately before the first coming of Christ
into the world. Yet the message is still the same: God’s reign is at
hand. As we worship together today, let us heed John the Baptist,
whose message of preparing those people of Israel so long ago echoes
in our own hearts: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his
paths.”

Homilía De Hoy
• En caso de que el “Reino
pacífico de Dios” pudiera
parecer demasiado bueno
para ser real, Isaías describe el instrumento de Dios para esa paz y el
que traerá la justicia de Dios al afligido como el ungido con el
Espíritu transformador. Los dones de ese Espíritu son los mismos
que se nos otorgan a nosotros en la Confirmación y que esperan,
como semillas enterradas bajo la nieve del invierno, para florecer en
la realidad de nuestro testimonio de cada día. Por eso Pablo nos
exhorta a poner nuestro corazón y nuestras manos en la realización
de esa visión de Adviento, vislumbrada en Isaías y encarnada en
Cristo: vivan “en perfecta armonía unos con los otros . . . con un solo
corazón y una sola voz alaben a Dios . . . Acójanse los unos a los
otros como Cristo los acogió a ustedes” (Romanos 15:5, 6, 7).
• Ya que nuestro propio Bautismo, como el de san Juan Bautista, no
es un mero rito, sino una conversión definitiva, la advertencia de
Juan a los cumplidores de las normas religiosas de su época es
oportuna para nosotros. La membresía formal en la comunidad de la
alianza de Dios no garantiza en sí misma la ciudadanía del Reino.
Éstos son tiempos urgentes y nuestro propio tiempo se aminora. Sólo
el fruto bueno perdona al árbol del hacha y aún hoy “el hacha está
puesta a la raíz” (Mateo 3:10).
• Así y todo, aun cuando hacemos caso de la seriedad con que Juan
describe el Adviento, hay que tener cautela de que no sólo sea el
miedo lo que nos motive o de ser tentados a posar como asistentes
del Mesías en la separación del trigo de la paja. Pues, ¿acaso es Jesús
el Mesías aterrador que describe Juan? Échale un vistazo al domingo
que viene: al oír acerca de las obras de sanación y perdón del
Mesías, y no de un vengador con el bieldo en la mano, hasta el
mismo Juan busca una clarificación. Cierto es que el Adviento, como
el discipulado, nos llama a una convicción más firme y un
compromiso más profundo; pero Jesús también nos llama, en igual
medida, a la misericordia y la compasión.
Pregunta de la semana
¿Qué cosa concreta y “pacífica” puedo hacer esta semana para traer
un vislumbre del “reino pacífico” de Isaías a mi pequeño rincón del
mundo?
