Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time/Septimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
February 23, 2020 / Febrero 23, 2020
AMAR A LOS ENEMIGOS
En el sermón de la montaña Jesús nos vuelve a repetir que no basta amar a los que nos hacen el bien, pues eso lo hacen también los paganos; lo que verdaderamente distingue a los cris-tianos del resto de la humanidad es el amor a los enemigos. Hermanas y hermanos:
1) Jesús nos lleva por un camino nuevo y
revolu-cionario. Cuando recorremos la historia del pueblo de Israel en el Antiguo Testamento nos sorprende ver con frecuencia la imagen de un Dios que está atento a castigar y a reparar los errores de su pueblo rebelde. Jesús corrige esa visión y nos recuerda que desde los tiempos más remotos Dios ha proclamado su mandamiento: “amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo”. Él mismo se define como el ser “lento a la ira y grande en el perdón”. Es rico en misericordia y, a pesar de que el hom-bre cae una y mil veces nos sigue repitiendo: “no alimentarás odio ni rencor en tu corazón contra tu hermano”.
2) La ley eterna del amor llega a su perfección en Cristo, que la encarna en su propia vida. Mirándolo a él se nos hace más fácil ser buenos. Las normas morales dejan de ser una fría doctrina para convertirse en caminos cercanos y atractivos de perfec-ción. Jesús ha venido a perfeccionar la ley hasta convertirla en un compromiso de amor. Y el amor jamás dice: “Basta”. La única medida del amor es la santidad de Dios. Y es la santidad de Dios la que nos marca la medida y el modo del amor cris-tiano por el prójimo. El modo es la bondad y la misericordia del Padre; y la medida es “sin medida”.
3) Amar a mi enemigo y rezar por el que me persigue ya no va a ser algo imposible después que Jesús lo predicó y lo puso en práctica en la cruz. “¿Quieres ser hijo de Dios?” – nos pregunta hoy- entonces sigue mi ejemplo. Muchos cristianos han sido capaces de vivir el amor hasta sus últimas consecuencias, desde el mártir San Esteban hasta el Padre Maximiliano Kolbe; desde los hijos que perdonan a los asesinos de su padre hasta com-pañeros nuestros que han hecho del mensaje de Jesucristo su programa de vida.
Hermanas y hermanos:
No tenemos que esperar a que lleguen las ocasiones heroicas para amar sin medida y devolver bien por mal y rezar por los enemigos. Podemos hacerlo hoy también dentro de los muros de nuestra casa, o en el trabajo, o en la escuela; en esos pequeñ-os momentpequeñ-os en que nuestro corazón perdona, olvida y con-struye una relación fraterna porque nos mueve Cristo crucifica-do que murió orancrucifica-do por sus enemigos: “Perdónalos porque no saben lo que hacen”, San Pablo también nos invita: “Vence el mal con el bien”. Que así sea.

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES
In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus tells us once again that it is not enough for us to love only those who do us good; even the Pagans do this. What really makes a Christian different from the rest of humanity is his love for his enemies.
Sisters and brothers:
1) Christ’s way is new and revolutionary. If we flip through the pages of the Old Testament and read the history of the people of Israel, it is surprising how often we see a God who is quick to punish his people and fix their errors. Jesus corrects this vision and reminds us that from the most ancient of times God has proclaimed his commandment: “You shall love your brother as your own self.” God himself says that He is “slow to anger and abounding in love.” He is rich in mercy. Even when man falls a thousand times, God keeps repeating: “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself.”
2) In Christ the eternal law of love reaches perfection. Christ incarnates this law in his own life. It is so much easier to be good when we keep our eyes on Him! The moral norms that once seemed like cold doctrines are transformed into paths of perfection that are both near to us and attractive. Jesus came to perfect the law and transform it into a commitment of love. And love never says, “enough.” The only measure of love is the very holiness of God. It is this same holiness that shows us the meas-ure and the way of how a Christian should love his neighbor. The way is goodness and mercy; the measure is “without meas-ure.”
3) Loving my enemy and praying for the one who persecutes me is no longer impossible. Because Christ has preached and practiced it from the cross. Today Christ asks us: “Do you want to be a son of God? Then follow my example.” Many Chris-tians have lived love to its ultimate consequences, from the first martyr, St. Stephen, to Father Maximilian Kolbe in Auschwitz; from the children who forgive the murderers of their parents to our very own companions who have made Christ’s message the basis of their life.
Sisters and Brothers:
We need not wait for the heroic moments to love without limits, to return good for evil, and to pray for our enemies. We can do it this very day, within the four walls of our home, our work, or our school; in those tiny moments when our heart forgives and forgets, when we build fraternal bonds with our neighbors be-cause we are moved by the thought of Christ crucified, dying for his enemies: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And St. Paul also invites us: “Overcome evil with good.” Amen.

ABSTINENCE - Everyone fourteen years of age and older is bound to
abstain from meat on ASH WEDNESDAY, the FRIDAYS of Lent and

FASTING – Everyone eighteen years of age and older but under the age
of sixty is also bound to fast on ASH WEDNESDAY and GOOD
FRI-DAY. On these two days, the law of fast allows only one full meal a day,
but does not prohibit taking some food during the day, so long as this does not constitute another full meal. Drinking
liquids during the day is permitted. When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. In doubt concerning fast and abstinence, a priest assigned to pastoral ministry or confessor should be consulted. In the spirit of penance, the faithful should not lightly ex-cuse themselves from this obligation.
