Midnight Musings / Pensamientos de Media Noche The Extraordinary Ordinary We are coming to the end of Ordinary Time in our liturgical calendar. “Ordinary Time” simply designates the weeks of the year outside of the major liturgical seasons: Advent, the Christmas Season, Lent and Eastertime. This week’s readings highlight the importance of living our ordinary human lives with the extraordinary perspective of faith. The Old Testament reading from Proverbs describes the ordinary life of a woman, a wife and a mother. She lives wisely, lovingly and well the different roles that have been entrusted to her. The reading’s point, reinforced by the Responsorial Psalm, is that God takes great delight in the fidelity we demonstrate in our day to day lives. Such an “ordinary” life the psalm describes as a great blessing from God! Real heroes of the faith are not just the famous and more extraordinary Christians; real heroes are more than apostles and miracle workers, more than popes and founders of religious orders, more than visionaries and stigmatics. The holiness of daily life demonstrates that we can all belong to Christ and live out our discipleship in our homes and workplaces, in schools and in government, in hospitals and in factories. Most of the saints in heaven are unknown to us on earth. They lived apparently ordinary lives, charged with the extraordinary grace of faith and love that comes from God. In all of our different vocations and occupations of life, St. Paul says that we can live as “children of the light and children of the day” (I Thessalonians 5:5). That light of Christ shines in all we do and say, when those words and actions reflect our commitment to Christian values. We live those values now because we know where we are going; St. Paul explains: “the day of the Lord will come” (I Thessalonians 5:2). Time leads us to eternity; what lasts for a time brings us to what will last forever. Different people have different jobs, talents and opportunities, Jesus teaches in the gospel. Discipleship means playing the hand that is dealt us, in easy and in difficult times; we all must give an account of ourselves to God for what we did with what he gave us. We are surrounded by saints, not just ordinary folks muddling through a mundane existence. Brothers and sisters demonstrate here in time by their faith and love the values of the kingdom that will bring us to eternal life. These good, ordinary people are quite extraordinary – in their fidelity, their commitment to reflecting the light of Christ. Yours in Christ, El Extraordinario Ordinario Estamos llegando al final del Tiempo Ordinario en nuestro calendario litúrgico. “Tiempo Ordinario” simplemente designa las semanas fuera de las temporadas litúrgicas mayores: Adviento, Temporada de Navidad, Cuaresma y la Temporada de la Pascua de Resurrección. Las lecturas de estas semanas señalan la importancia de la vida en nuestra ordinaria vida humana con extraordinaria perspetiva de fe. La lecturas del Antiguo Testamento en Proverbios describe la vida ordinaria de una mujer, madre y esposa. Ella vive sabiamente, llena de amor y desarrollando los diferente papeles que le han sido encomendados. El punto de la lectura, reforzado por el Salmo Responsorial, es que Dios siente gran placer en la fidelidad que demostramos en nuestra vida día a día. Una vida tan “ordinaria” describe el Salmo, que es una gran bendición de Dios. Los verdaderos héroes de la fe no son los famosos ni los Cristianos más extraordinarios; los verdaderos héroes son más que los apóstoles y los milagreros, más que los papas y fundadores de ordenes religiosas, más que los visionarios y estigmáticos. La santidad de la vida diaria demuestra que podemos pertenecer a Cristo y vivir nuestro discípulado en nuestros hogares y lugares de trabajo, en la escuela y en el gobierno, en hospitales y factorias. La mayoría de los santos en el cielo son desconocidos para nosotros en la tierra. Aparentemente vivieron vidas ordinarias, cargadas con la extraordinaria gracia de la fe y amor que proviene de Dios. En todas las diferentes vocaciones y ocupaciones de la vida, San Pablo dice que podemos vivir como “niños de la luz y del día” (1 Tesalonicenses 5:5). La luz de Cristo resplandece en todo lo que hacemos y decimos, cuando esas palabras y esas acciones reflejan nuestro compromiso con los valores Cristianos. Ahora vivimos esos valores porque sabemos a donde vamos; San Pablo explica: “el día del Señor llegará” (1 Tesalonicenses 5:2). El tiempo nos lleva a la eternidad; lo que dura por un tiempo nos lleva a lo que durará para siempre. Diferentes personas tienen diferentes trabajos, talentos y oportunidades, nos enseña Jesús en el evangelio. Discipulado significa jugar con la porción que se nos ha dado, en los buenos y malos tiempos; todos tenemos que rendir cuentas de nosotros mismos a Dios por lo que hemos hecho con lo que El nos entregó. Estamos rodeados de santos, no sólo personas ordinarias malgastando su mundana existencia. Hermanos y hermanas que demusetran aquí en tiempo su fe y amor a los valores del reino que nos llevará a la vida eterna. Estas buenas, ordinarias personas son realmente extraordinarias - en su fidelidad, su consistencia, su dependencia, su compromiso a reflejar la luz de Cristo.
