PROMISE FULFILLED
Today’s readings address the faithful one, the one who waits on God but may not feel God’s presence. Every person who seeks God has at one time or another experienced the absence of God. Jesus himself cried out during his dark night of the soul.
The Epistle of James speaks to this. The author says that we must be as patient as the silent, fallow earth that awaits the slow, soaking rains of winter and the hard, necessary rains of spring. As the farmer is sure of the precious yield of the land, we can be sure of the precious yield of our patient waiting. God is never far away.
The messengers from John the Baptizer asked Jesus if he was the one whose coming John had announced. The messen-gers wanted to hear the answer that the imprisoned John al-ready knew. Everything that John said was finally happening: because of Jesus, light shines in eyes; words of promise are received; people leap and dance.
The promise of Isaiah is fulfilled in Jesus. Wobbly knees and feeble hands are strong, the desert blooms, the sa-vanna and steppe flower, the darkness is chased away.
PROMESA CUMPLIDA
Las lecturas de hoy nos hablan de la persona fiel, de aquella que espera en Dios pero tal vez no sienta su presencia. Toda persona que busca a Dios, en un momento u otro, experimenta la ausencia de Dios. El mismo Jesús gritó durante la noche oscura de su alma.
La epístola de Santiago hace referencia a esta cuestión. Dice que debemos ser tan pacientes como la tierra abandonada y silenciosa, que espera las lentas y húmedas lluvias del invierno y las fuertes y necesarias lluvias de la primavera. Al igual que el agricultor es consciente del precioso fruto de la tierra, también nosotros podemos ser conscientes de la valiosa cosecha de nuestra paciente espera. Dios nunca está lejos.
Los mensajeros de Juan Bautista preguntaron a Jesús si él era aquél que Juan había anunciado. Los mensajeros querían oír la respuesta que el encarcelado Juan ya sabía. Todo lo que Juan había dicho estaba finalmente aconteciendo: gracias a Jesús, la luz brilla en los ojos; las palabras de promesa son recibidas; la gente salta y baila.
La promesa de Isaías se cumple en Jesús. Rodillas inseguras y manos débiles se vuelven fuertes; el desierto estalla de vegetación; la sabana y la estepa florecen; la oscuridad es ahuyentada.
