Un mensaje del p. Carlos
Hemos iniciado el mes de la Biblia, me gustaría pensar que todos los días hacemos un ejercicio por aprender más de la palabra de salvación escrita en la Biblia.
Aprovechemos este mes y dejemos que la palabra De Dios riegue nuestras familias y las haga florecer con frutos de amor y Buenas obras. Las lecturas de este domingo nos invitan al discernimiento, la misión, darle la prioridad a Dios y a su proyecto de salvación al que El nos llama a servir y como ejemplo la segunda lectura nos recuerda a Onésimo un convertido y enamorado por la causa del evangelio. Discernir significa, meditar, pensar, elegir entre varias alternativas especialmente sobre nuestros proyectos de vida. Nos recuerda el evangelista a renunciar, o discernir, porque si discernimos estamos eligiendo entre varias propuestas. Dejar o renunciar es parte de poner la mano en el arado.
Cuando discernimos echamos cálculos primero, en función de administrar la llamada De Dios. Por eso invitemos siempre al Espíritu Santo y pongámonos bajo su luz y guía para que nos fluya la gracia De Dios y su sabiduría. Seguir a Jesucristo es arriesgado y comprometido y, no obstante , es el único camino del que disponemos para llegar a la meta.
El que ha recibido la gracia de la fe Cristiana tiene la misión de hacer partícipes a las demás personas del don recibido . Meditemos en lo que hemos recibido. amén
