A VISIBLE GOD We find it difficult to convey ideas to people unless we can actually show them something, demonstrate what we mean. God, who is invisible and truly beyond human understanding, apparently faces the same difficulty. People want to see, not just listen to an idea. So God gave us Jesus Christ, God made visible in the world. During these past weeks we have seen how Jesus was revealed as an infant to the shepherds and the magi, and then began his adult “public life” at his baptism by John. Today’s Gospel reading tells us of his “first sign,” providing wine for the wedding guests at Cana. Of course, even Jesus, God made visible, was not always easily understood in his own day, nor is he even now. So we have to ponder what we see: the poverty and simplicity of his birth, his humility and openness before John the Baptist, his kindness and compassion toward people in their ordinary problems, such as running short of wine at a wedding.

Immaculate Conception Homily

“HAGAN LO QUE EL LES DIGA” SEGUNDO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

JN 2,1-11

Hoy San Juan nos habla del comienzo del ministerio público de Jesús, que obrando su primer milagro en unas bodas en cana de Galilea, nos manifiesta en una nueva epifanía el poder y la gloria de Dios que ya está con nosotros. Ahora, sin excusa alguna, estamos llamados a apresurar los comienzos del evangelio en nuestra propia vida, tal como María Santísima lo hiciera llena del Espíritu Santo aquel día en las bodas de Cana. Así nosotros ante las carencias que obscurecen nuestras vidas, y que nos quitan la paz y la alegría de la vida, deberíamos apresurar el encuentro con aquel que nos puede devolver lo que hemos perdido, destruido o malgastado. Las bodas a las que asistió Jesús y María su madre son la imagen perfecta de las bodas de Dios con la humanidad, son esa profecía que Isaías no calla por amor a Sion a Jerusalén. No podemos continuar nuestra vida ajenos o fuera de esta boda real sintiéndonos desolados o como abandonados de Dios, debemos dejar que surja esplendoroso el Señor y que brille su salvación como una antorcha en nosotros, pues su complacencia es hacernos participar de su gloria, a lo cual somos llamados por medio del Evangelio. La presencia de Cristo y de María en esa boda es la garantía de que no se acabe el vino, y por lo tanto se prolongue la alegría de la fiesta. En Cristo hay abundancia y es una fiesta que no termina, porque como decía Santa Teresa, “quien a Dios tiene, nada le falta,” en él siempre estarán nuestras tinajas hasta el borde, él es el único que puede transformar nuestra agua en un vino mejor. Solo el Espíritu del Señor puede transformar lo poco que podemos ofrecer y convertirlo en algo mejor, nuestros esfuerzos, nuestros apostolados, nuestro servicio en la iglesia, en la familia, en nuestro matrimonio, en nuestro ministerio. Descubramos pues, que solo sostenidos por el Señor, los dones y talentos que Dios ha puesto en notros darán el fruto mejor si permanecemos en él. Así es como se manifiesta en notros su gloria, y muchos más creerán en el. Si queremos construir mejor o ser parte de esa Jerusalén celeste donde brille esplendorosa la luz de Cristo, necesitamos más que nuestras limitaciones humanas, necesitamos vivir esa nupcial triunfal y eterna con Cristo nuestro Señor, porque en él la abundancia de su gracia y de su misericordia nos desbordará hasta la eternidad en un encuentro de amor perfecto de Dios con su pueblo. Y no olvidemos el consejo de María, quien nunca nos abandona y siempre está atenta a nuestras necesidades, intercediendo por nosotros; “Hagan lo que él les diga.”

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The cause of church unity is commended to Christians for prayer and action every year around this time. This week is not so much to focus on the many divisions within the Christian family, but on bonds of faith and mission. Even though Christians have always shown an inclination to fracture, spin off, and mutate into new expressions, recent history shows some new points of convergence and agreement. Catholics are more firmly rooted in the word of God, for example, and many Protestants are more likely to celebrate Communion than in years past. Some denominations are merging and pooling resources, and people from various traditions are collaborating on projects. The call of this week is to be mindful of the diversity of our traditions and customs while treasuring what we hold in common. The old advice to “lighten up” is good medicine, because sometimes our differences are delightful and amusing. If someone says, “Let us pray,” a Catholic might close the eyes, bow the head and fold hands; a Protestant reach out and clasp hands with the person in the next chair; and someone belonging to an Orthodox tradition might stand up with eyes wide open. Each has taken a different path, but the goal is always the same. This is a week not for focusing on the well‑worn paths of divergence, but for mutual delight in a common goal. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1502 el Fraile Nicolás de Ovando y doce franciscanos dieron inicio a la evangelización de América en la República Dominicana. Ellos fueron enviados por los reyes españoles con el mandato de convertir a los nativos “sin les hacer fuerza alguna”. Con los misioneros llegaron Alfonso y Antonio Trejo quienes traían con ellos un cuadro de la Virgen María bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. Ellos la llevaron a Higuey, donde en 1572 se le construyó su primer santuario. Poco a poco esta pequeña imagen se convirtió en la Reina del corazón de los dominicanos. María observa dulcemente a su recién nacido quien yace sobres las pajas. Está coronada y lleva puesto un manto azul rociado de estrellas y un escapulario blanco. Lleva una aureola hecha de doce estrellas. En una esquina de la imagen san José también observa al niño por encima del hombro derecho de María. El 25 de enero del 1979 Juan Pablo II la coronó por ser la primera evangelizadora del continente Americano. Con ella los doce misioneros trajeron la Alta Gracia de Jesucristo a nuestras tierras. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
