REFLECTIONS
OUR FATHER IN FAITH
The Letter to the Hebrews today sings a hymn of praise to
Abraham and to his faith, upon which are founded the relig-
ions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Abraham is called
“father” in faith by more people on earth than anybody else,
numerous as the sands of the seashore or the stars of the
heavens. Hebrews tells us it was this foundational faith that
led Abraham to obey God’s call when he heard it, though he
was called to journey to a land he did not know and told he
would father a mighty race through a marriage he thought
was barren. But Abraham’s faith, the author of Hebrews tells
us, was his realization of what he hoped for, and the evi-
dence of what he could not see. How often are we, in simple
daily events of our own Christian vocation, called to an un-
familiar place or told we are to do something we do not be-
lieve we can? How fortunate we are to have Father Abraham
as our guide and example!

REFLEJOS
NUESTRO PADRE EN LA FE
La Carta a los Hebreos hoy canta un himno de alabanza a
Abraham y a su fe, sobre la cual se fundan la religión judía,
la cristiana y la mahometana. Abraham es llamado “padre”
de la fe por más personas en el mundo que cualquier otro;
numerosas como la arena de la playa o las estrellas del cielo.
La Carta a los Hebreos nos dice que esta fe firme lo impulsó
a obedecer el llamado de Dios cuando lo envió a buscar una
tierra desconocida y le dijo que sería padre de una raza pode-
rosa, aunque consideraba su matrimonio infecundo. Pero la
fe de Abraham, nos dice el autor de la Carta a los Hebreos,
le permitía poseer lo que esperaba y conocer lo que no podía
ver. ¿Cuántas veces nos vemos en simples sucesos cotidia-
nos de nuestra vocación cristiana llamados a un sitio desco-
nocido o enviados a hacer algo que no creemos poder hacer?
¡Qué afortunados somos por tener a nuestro padre Abraham
como nuestro guía y ejemplo!
