5th Sunday B
Dear parish family,
Perhaps there is no other dramatic biblical story that deals about pain and suffering than that of Job, part of it is read in
our first reading this Sunday. His story is the old classic example of the still asked question, “why do bad things happen
to good people?” Job was just like any of us who felt the anguish of pain and suffering when things go bad in life.
Despite of everything he hung on to God. He kept his faith and surrendered everything in God’s hands even though he
didn’t understand exactly what’s going on. He got back his peace and his strength to carry on in life despite the bad
things that happened to him. He was able to overcome those trials which the devil actually set as a trap for him to
abandon God.
Those who have faith in God repeat the words of Job: “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be
the name of the Lord.” In the face of suffering, our faith and hope give us confidence that, no matter what happens, God
has a plan for us, and we are promised something so much greater in the life to come.
In good times and bad, then, we persevere with abandonment to divine providence. Whatever the Lord gives
us, we accept patiently and with trust. We live with a sense of detachment, recognizing that all we have is a gift from
God, and that we will merely enjoy it as long as we have it. It is in recognizing every moment as a gift and never taking
our blessings for granted, that we nurture a spirit of humble gratitude. While we will feel joy and sorrow, they will never
overcome our great hope in what the Lord has prepared for us.
The gospel reading tells us about the day in the life of Jesus in which he was all day surrounded with a lot of
people suffering from different kinds of maladies. He cured them all by his power as God. God is comfort in the midst
of suffering. There was one common element … there was faith. The healings and miracles were God’s answer to that
faith.
Yet Jesus shows us in the gospel that there are more important things than the physical cures. After that busy
day curing all the sick he went to a lonely place to pray. A deep sense of personal relationship with God is what faith is
all about. Still much further, Jesus moved on away from that place to another to preach the gospel. While for us
perhaps our physical well being is the priority. But for Jesus it is our spiritual well being to prepare us for eternal life. He
is here for us to be transformed by the gospel that we may share with Him here in this life and in heaven.
Two statements may sum up God’s message for us this Sunday; “Hung on to faith no matter what and we’ll
win.” And, “Let us move on further in life and proclaim the good news.”
Blessings to you and have a good week!
Fr. Tony
Querida familia parroquial,
5to domingo B
Tal vez no haya otra dramática historia bíblica que trate sobre el dolor y el sufrimiento que el de Job, parte de ella se
lee en la primera lectura de este domingo. Su historia es el ejemplo clásico de la tan comun y antigua pregunta, " ¿por
qué le ocurren cosas malas a la buena gente?" Job era como cualquiera de nosotros que sentimos la angustia del dolor y del sufrimiento cuando las cosas salen mal en la vida. A pesar de todo lo que él se aferró a Dios. Mantuvo su fe y
entregó todo en las manos de Dios, aunque no entendía exactamente lo que estaba ocurriendo. Volvió su paz y obtuvo
su fuerza para seguir adelante en la vida a pesar de las cosas malas que le ocurrió. Fue capaz de superar las pruebas,
ya que el enemigo realmente tendio una trampa para él con el fien de que abandone a Dios.
Aquellos que tenemos fe en Dios repitamos las palabras de Job: "El Señor me lo dio y el Señor me lo quitó; bendito
sea el nombre del Señor." Ante el sufrimiento, la fe y la esperanza nos da confianza, no importa lo que pase, Dios tiene
un plan para nosotros, y se nos ha prometido algo mucho mayor en la vida por venir.
En las buenas y en las malas, entonces, seguimos adelante con abandono a la divina providencia. Lo que el Señor nos
da, y así lo aceptamos con paciencia y confianza. Vivimos con un sentido de desapego, reconociendo que todo lo que
tenemos es un don de Dios, y que lo único primordial es disfrutar todo mientras lo tenemos. Es de reconocer cada momento como un regalo y nunca tomarlo sin valorar y alimentar un espiritu humilde de agradecimiento por nuestras bendiciones concedidas. Nuestras alegrías y tristezas, nunca llegaran a superar la gran esperanza en lo que el Señor ha
preparado para nosotros.
La lectura del evangelio nos habla en la vida de Jesús, en el que estaba todo el día rodeado de un montón de personas que sufren de diferentes tipos de enfermedades. Curó a todos por su poder como Dios. Dios es la conformidad
en medio del sufrimiento. Hay un elemento en común… no era la fe. Las sanidades y milagros fueron respuesta de
Dios a la fe.
No obstante, Jesús nos muestra en el evangelio, que hay cosas más importantes que la cura física. Después de ese
día de haber curado todos los enfermos, se fue a un lugar solitario para orar. Un profundo sentido de la relación personal con Dios es lo que es la fe. Mucho más aún, Jesús pasó lejos de ese lugar a otro para predicar el evangelio.
Mientras que para nosotros, nuestro bienestar físico es la prioridad. Pero para Jesús es nuestro bienestar espiritual
para prepararnos para la vida eterna. Él está aquí para nosotros con el objetivo de ser transformados por el evangelio
para que podamos compartir con él aquí en esta vida y en el cielo.
Dos declaraciones pueden resumir el mensaje de Dios para nosotros, este domingo; "Aferrarnos a la fe no importa
qué, y vamos a ganar." y, "continuemos en la vida anunciando la buena nueva."
¡Bendiciones para ti y que tengas una buena semana!
