Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Opening our hearts
Abramos Nuestros Corazones
Today’s readings and prayers remind us that God has
called each of us to discipleship. An example occurs in
the Old Testament, when Isaiah shares a vision where
he saw God seated on a throne, attended by mighty
seraphim. Isaiah becomes afraid when his house fills
with smoke because he knows that he is unworthy. After a seraph touches his mouth with an ember he
agrees to answer God’s call saying, “Here I am. Send
me.” Saint Paul reminds the Corinthians of his turbulent
road to discipleship saying, he is “not fit to be called an
apostle because I persecuted the church of God. But by
the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me
has not been ineffective.” Peter’s proclamation of faith
in the gospel occurs after the miraculous fishing event.
He is wonder-filled, on his knees, pleading for Jesus to
leave him because he is a sinful man. Jesus calms
Peter saying, “Do not be afraid, from now on you will be
catching men.” All of these episodes are dramatic recordings of God’s interaction in three lives. We too are
called, sometimes in a dramatic way, but more often
than not, in a more subtle way, to be God’s presence in
the world. So we must be able to hear God’s call. This
coming Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. This
is the time of year when we quiet our lives and seek to open
our hearts to God. It is the perfect opportunity to actively seek
the Lord through an increase in
prayer, meditation, fasting, Reconciliation, attending Mass, and
volunteering to help others. God
asks us to be his hands and
feet in our world today. Lent
provides us a time of renewal
when we can truly hear his call
and answer, “Yes, Lord.”
Las lecturas y rezos de hoy nos recuerdan que Dios ha
llamado a cada uno de nosotros al discipulado. Un
ejemplo ocurre en el Antiguo Testamento, cuando Isaías
comparte una visión en la cual mira a Dios sentado sobre su trono, atendido por serafines. A Isaías le da temor cuando el templo se llena de humo porque él sabe
que no es digno. Después de que el serafín toca su boca con el ascua, Isaías se decide y responde al llamado
de Dios diciendo, “Aquí estoy, mándeme.” San Pablo le
recuerda a los Corintios de su camino turbulento en el
discipulado, diciendo, “No soy digno de llamarme apóstol, porque he perseguido a la iglesia de Dios. Pero por
la gracia de Dios soy lo que soy, y su gracia no se ha
frustrado en mí.” La proclamación de fe de Pedro en su
Evangelio ocurre después del milagroso evento de la
pesca. Arrodillado, él está lleno de asombro pidiéndole a
Jesús que lo abandone porque es un hombre pecador.
Jesús calma a Pedro diciéndole, “No temas; desde ahora serás pescador de hombres.” Todos estos capítulos
son recuentos dramáticos de la intercesión de Dios en
tres vidas. Nosotros también somos llamados, en veces
de formas dramáticas para ser la presencia de Dios en
el mundo. Tenemos que estar listos para escuchar su
llamado. Este próximo miércoles marca el
comienzo de la Cuaresma. Este es el tiempo
del año cuando callamos nuestras vidas y
buscamos abrir nuestros corazones a Dios.
Es la oportunidad perfecta para buscar al
Señor activamente a través del incremento
de rezos, meditación, vigilia, Reconciliación,
asistiendo a misa, y siendo voluntarios para
ayudar a otros. Dios nos pide ser sus manos
y pies en nuestro mundo de hoy. La Cuaresma nos provee un tiempo de renovación donde verdaderamente podemos escuchar el
llamado de Dios y contestar, “Sí Señor.”

¿SABIA USTED?
Ayude a los niños con retos ofreciendo
apoyo en lugar de soluciones
Ya sea un niño o niña pequeño que se porte malcriado con un
hermano o un adolescente egoísta y que rehúse ver la imagen
completa de su actuación, puede ser tentador tratar de resolver los
desafíos de ellos. Bajo muchas circunstancias, la actitud de tratar de
cambiar a alguien es casi siempre contraproducente. En lugar de
ofrecer una solución a un niño o niña enfrentando un dilema, haga lo
que pueda para escucharlo(la), hacer preguntas, animarlo(a), mostrar
empatía y rezar. Para una copia del artículo de VIRTUS®
