Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
September 26, 2021, • Mark 9: 38-43, 45, 47-48 Today’s Gospel begins with a scene that recalls a similar moment in the history of Israel, the episode recalled in today’s First Reading. The seventy elders who receive God’s Spirit through Moses prefigure the ministry of the Apostles. Like Joshua in the First Reading, John makes the mistake of presuming that only a select few are inspired and entrusted to carry out God’s plans. The Spirit blows where it wills (see John 3:8), and God desires to bestow His Spirit on all the people of God in every nation under heaven (see Acts 2:5, 38). God can and will work mighty deeds through the most unexpected and unlikely people. All of us are called to perform even our most humble tasks, such as giving a cup of water, for the sake of His name and the cause of His kingdom. John believes he is protecting the purity of the Lord’s name. But, really, he’s only guarding his own privilege and status. It’s telling that the Apostles want to shut down the ministry of an exorcist. Authority to drive out demons and unclean spirits was one of the specific powers entrusted to the Twelve (see Mark 3:14–15; 6:7, 13). Cleanse me from my unknown faults, we pray in today’s Psalm. Often, like Joshua and John, perhaps without noticing it, we cloak our failings and fears under the guise of our desire to defend Christ or the Church. But as Jesus says today, instead of worrying about who is a real Christian and who is not, we should make sure that we ourselves are leading lives worthy of our calling as disciples (see Ephesians 1:4). Does the advice we give, or the example of our actions, give scandal—causing others to doubt or lose faith? Do we do what we do with mixed motives instead of seeking only the Father’s will? Are we living, as this Sunday’s Epistle warns, for our own luxury and pleasure while neglecting our neighbors? We need to keep meditating on His Law, as we sing in today’s Psalm. We need to pray for the grace to detect our failings and to overcome them.
Evangelio de este día nos invita a la radicalidad en el seguimiento de Cristo. Él no nos llama a ser buenos católicos, nos llama para ser santos. La santidad es vivir cada día con radicalidad en el amor a Cristo. Si vemos la vida de cada santo y santa a lo largo de la historia de la iglesia, nos daremos cuenta de que son radicales en el seguimiento de Cristo. No les importa hacer o dejar cualquier cosa por amor a Cristo. Cristo al decir que, si el ojo es ocasión de pecado, te lo saques, que te cortes la mano o el pie, lo que quiere es invitar a la radicalidad en la vida de cada uno de nosotros. Debemos de ser capaces de cortar tajantemente con el mal que pueda haber en nuestra vida. Lo que Cristo quiere es un buen testimonio de vida. Él quiere que dejemos todo y lo pongamos en el centro de nuestras vidas. La radicalidad en el camino de santidad es amar a Cristo por encima de cualquier cosa, inclusive por encima de uno mismo. Seamos radicales en nuestras vidas para llegar a ser santos. Todos los santos fueron hombres comunes que supieron poner a Cristo en el centro de toda su vida y dejar lo que en verdad no sirve, para tomar lo que vale la pena. Cristo es el tesoro por el cual se vende todo y se compra, sabiendo que nada nos faltara al tenerlo con nosotros. En el fondo, hasta el día en el que no arriesgamos la existencia con el Señor, tocando con la mano que en Él se encuentra la vida, hacemos solo teorías. Este es el cristianismo que toca los corazones. ¿Por qué los santos son así capaces de tocar los corazones? ¡Porque los santos no solo hablan, mueven! Se nos mueve el corazón cuando una persona santa nos habla, nos dice las cosas. Y son capaces, porque en los santos vemos lo que nuestro corazón desea profundamente: autenticidad, relaciones verdaderas, radicalidad.
