FELIZ DIA DE SAN VALENTINE—St. Lawrence Catholic Church Page 5
HISTORY
OF SALVATION
The first reading todaycon-nues the “history of salva-on” narra ve that we hear throughout Lent this year. Today’s story was among the
best-loved in the Jewish tradi on (surely Jo-seph told the story to young Jesus as he formed him in the ways of their faith); the ear-ly fathers of the Church were very fond of it as a means of explaining the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. The overall tone of the first reading, psalm, and second reading seems a li le incon-gruous with the dazzling Gospel, un l we re-member that the Transfigura on was placed as the Gospel for this Sunday precisely to re-mind us of the glory that awaits those who live faithfully and obediently to the will of God. In the life of Jesus, it is a preview of the glory of his resurrec on; for us it is a glimpse of the des ny of those who con nue, as we heard in last week’s Gospel, to repent and believe in the Good News.
HISTORIA DE LA
SALVACIÓN
La primera lectura de hoy con -núa la “historia de la salvación”, relato que oímos a lo largo de la Cuaresma de este año. El relato de hoy era uno de los más
queri-dos en la tradición judía
(seguramente José se lo contó al joven Jesús cuan-do le enseñaba los caminos de la fe); a los prime-ros padres de la Iglesia les gustaba usarlo para ex-plicar el sacrificio de Cristo en la cruz. El tono ge-neral de la primera lectura, del salmo y la segunda lectura me parece un poco fuera de lugar frente al Evangelio deslumbrante, hasta que recordamos que la Transfiguración se incluyó como el Evange-lio de este domingo, precisamente para recordar-nos la gloria que les espera a aquellos que son fie-les y obedientes a la voluntad de Dios. En la vida de Jesús, es un an cipo de la gloria de su resurrec-ción, para nosotros es una visión del des no de aquellos que con núan, como hemos escuchado en el Evangelio de la semana pasada, arrepin én-dose y creyendo en la Buena Nueva.
