The apostles ask Jesus when the end of times will

hap-pen. And will there be a sign. For each one of us, the end

can come at any time. We could die of a heart attack. We

could die in a car accident. The important thing to

remem-ber is--be prepared!

In the second reading, St. Paul tells us to get prepared by

imitating him. But he imitates Jesus: “It is not I who live,

but Jesus Christ who lives in me.” So we need to imitate

Jesus. And for that we need to pick up our cross every day

and follow Jesus who is the Way…all the way up to that

cross on Calvary.

But do you know what you are getting yourself into? Jesus

said “you will be HATED BY ALL because of my name.”

Why? Because of what you stand for. We live in a world

that is selfish. People live for pleasure. People live for

pow-er. People live for money. So it is inevitable. They are

go-ing to see that the way you live is different. The way you

act is different. The way you speak is different. They hate

Jesus, so when they see Him living His life through you,

they are going to persecute you, and have you thrown in

prison.

Well, you probably will not be thrown in prison, and you

probably will not shed blood for Jesus. But you will shed

tears in silence for Jesus. You will be despised. You will be

made fun of. You will be judged. But consider yourself

blessed. Like Jesus said: “Blessed are you when they

in-sult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil

against you falsely because of me, Rejoice and be glad,

for your reward will be great in heaven” (Mt. 5:11-12).

Why is that a good thing? It is good because it is an

oppor-tunity to testify. And the greatest testimony is fidelity to

God while you are suffering. that was the way God chose

for His own son to testify. Jesus’ suffering, death and

res-urrection became the greatest testimony…the greatest

homily ever told. It was a testimony to the depth of Jesus’

love for God and God & Jesus’ everlasting love for us. But

don’t worry about what you will say. People have said to

me “Father Del, they criticized my faith, but I had nothing

to say. I stayed silent.” Don’t worry about it. God will use

that silence. Like St. Francis said “Preach always—and

when necessary use words.” Preach with your life. And

God will give you the words and wisdom, courage and

grace to remain faithful to Him and to face any situation

together.

So the question you have to ask yourself is this: Are you

willing to stand up for Jesus? Then you have a unique

op-portunity happening before your very eyes. There is a dark

undercurrent happening in our society right now. There is a

new level, never seen before, of acts of hatred and words

of hatred being directed against people of Mexican and

Muslim heritage. These are families terrified for their lives.

It is so easy to get swept up into the mob mentality that all

immigrants are dangerous. Sure we need to protect our

borders and communities from radical terrorists. But not all

immigrants are terrorists.

So, we as disciples of Jesus Christ have a different calling.

Our calling is to stand up for Jesus by standing in solidarity

with our Mexican and Muslim brothers and sisters (who

aren’t terrorists), so that their dignity and human rights are

respected. And together with Jesus Christ, we can make a

difference.

Los apóstoles le preguntan a Jesús cuando va a pasar el fin de los tiempos. Y si van a ver un signo. Para cada uno de nosotros, el fin puede venir en cualquier momento. Podríamos morir de un ataque al corazón. Podríamos morir en un acci-dente de coche. Lo cosa importante de recordar es—que es-tés preparado.

En la segunda lectura, San Pablo nos dice que nos prepare-mos imitándolo a él. Pero él imitaba a Jesús: "No soy yo el que vivo, sino Jesucristo que vive en mí". Así que necesita-mos imitar a Jesús. Y para eso necesitanecesita-mos recoger nuestra cruz cada días y seguir a Jesús que es el Camino ... todo el camino hasta esa cruz en el Calvario.

Pero, ¿sabes en qué te estás metiendo? Jesús dijo: "TODOS LOS ODIARAN por causa mía." ¿Por qué? Por lo que tu representas. Vivimos en un mundo que es egoísta. La gente vive por el placer. La gente vive para el poder. La gente vive por el dinero. Así que es inevitable. Ellos van a ver que tu forma de vivir es diferente. Tu forma de actuar es diferente. Tu forma de hablar es diferente. Ellos odian a Jesús, así que cuando lo ven a El viviendo su vida a través de ti, ellos van a perseguirte, y arrojarte en la cárcel.

Bueno, probablemente no serás arrojado en la cárcel, y pro-bablemente no vas a derramar sangre por Jesús. Pero si vas a derramar lágrimas en silencio por Jesús. Te van a despre-ciar. Van a burlarse de ti. Te van a juzgar. Pero considérate bendecido. Como dijo Jesús: "Dichosos serán ustedes cuan-do los injurien, los persigan y digan cosas falsas de ustedes por causa mía. Alégrense y salten de contento, porque su premio será grande en los cielos” (Mt. 5:11-12).

¿Por qué será eso algo bueno? Es bueno porque es una oportunidad para dar testigo. Y el mayor testigo es la fidelidad a Dios mientras uno sufre. Esa fue la manera en que Dios quiso que Su propio hijo diera testigo. El sufrimiento, la muer-te y la resurrección de Jesús se convirtieron en mas grande testigo…la más grande homilía jamás contada.

Fue un testimonio a la profundidad del amor de Jesús por Dios y el amor eterno de Dios y Jesús por nosotros. Pero no te preocupes por lo que vas a decir. Me han dicho: "Padre Del, criticaron a mi fe, pero no tuve nada que decir. Me quede cayado." No te preocupes. Dios usará ese silencio. Como dijo San Francisco: "Predica siempre--y cuando sea necesario usa palabras". Predica con tu vida. Y Dios te dará las pala-bras y sabiduría, el valor y la gracia para permanecer fiel a Él y enfrentar a cualquier situación juntos.

Así que la pregunta que tienes que hacerte es esta: ¿Estás dispuesto a defender a Jesús? Entonces tu tienes una oportu-nidad única pasando delate de tus ojos. Hay una corriente oscura ocurriendo en nuestra sociedad ahora mismo. Hay un nuevo nivel, nunca visto antes, de actos de odio y palabras de odio dirigidas contra personas de herencia mexicana y musulmana. Estas son familias aterrorizadas por sus vidas. Es tan fácil quedar atrapado en la mentalidad de la turba que todos los inmigrantes son peligrosos. Seguro que necesita-mos proteger nuestras fronteras y comunidades de los terro-ristas radicales. Pero no todos los inmigrantes son terroterro-ristas. Así que nosotros, como discípulos de Jesucristo, tenemos un llamado diferente. Nuestro llamamiento es defender a Jesús por solidaridad con nuestros hermanos y hermanas

mexicanos y musulmanes (que no son terroristas), para que se respete su dignidad y sus derechos humanos. Y juntos con Jesucristo, podemos hacer la diferencia.
