REFLECTIONS
LIFE IS HARD, BUT HAVE NO FEAR
Today’s readings take a fearless look at reality and reach a
conclusion that we all know: life is hard. The prophet Mala-
chi preaches fire and brimstone, warning us that evildoers
will perish in flames. Saint Paul offers his own warning to
the Thessalonians: keep busy, but never become a busybody.
He reminds Christians that the apostles themselves worked
in “toil and drudgery” as a model for how we ought to con-
tribute to our community. The Gospel returns to the apoca-
lyptic tone of Malachi, describing the utter chaos of the end-
times. We will know the end is near when violence, catastro-
phe, and hatred dominate the earth. But we must not fear!
God’s saving plan brings peace to our hearts. Malachi
speaks of the sun’s “healing rays,” and Jesus himself prom-
ises to protect every hair on our heads.

REFLEJOS
LA VIDA ES DURA, PERO NO TENEMOS MIEDO
Las lecturas de hoy toman una mirada valiente a la realidad
y llegan a la conclusión que todos sabemos, la vida es dura.
El profeta Malaquías predica fuego y azufre, advirtiéndonos
que los malhechores perecerán en llamas. San Pablo ofrece
su propia advertencia a los tesalonicenses: manténgase ocu-
pados, pero nunca en entrometidos. Él recuerda a los cristia-
nos que los mismos apóstoles hicieron “trabajos pesados y
penosos” como un modelo de cómo debemos contribuir a
nuestra comunidad. El Evangelio regresa al to-
no apocalíptico de Malaquías, describiendo el caos total del
final de los tiempos. Sabremos que el fin se acerca cuando la
violencia, las catástrofes y el odio dominen la tierra. ¡Pero
no debemos tener miedo! El plan de salvación de Dios nos
da paz a nuestros corazones. Malaquías habla de los “rayos
sanadores” del sol, y el mismo Jesús promete proteger cada
cabello de nuestras cabezas.
