A Message from Fr. Tony/Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
SEEK THE LORD
In today’s opening reading, Isaiah urges us to “seek the LORD” who is “near” and can be “found” (Isaiah 55:6). Then
Isaiah says God’s ways are as high above our ways “as the heavens are above the earth” (Isaiah 55:9). So we search,
not because God is hiding, but because our tendencies are so different from God’s ways that we get lost.
How are God’s ways so high above our ways? The example Isaiah gives is that God’s way is to be “generous in
forgiving” (Isaiah 55:7). And our way? We try to be “fair.” You hurt me, so then I hurt you back, just as hard. Then, of
course, you . . . . And on it goes.
In today’s Gospel Jesus teaches that God is not “fair” like that. Instead, God is so generous we can hardly understand it. The same wage for one hour
as for a whole day of work? Not fair! “Seek the Lord,” and we might find a God who calls us to be, not fair, but generous beyond expectations.
BUSCAR AL SEÑOR
En la primera lectura de hoy, Isaías nos insta a “buscar al Señor” que está “cerca” y puede “encontrarse” (Isaías
55:6). Entonces Isaías dice que los caminos de Dios se elevan por encima de nuestros caminos, “así como el
cielo está muy alto por encima de la tierra” (Isaías 55:9). Buscamos, no porque Dios está escondido, sino porque nuestras tendencias son tan diferentes a los caminos de Dios que nos perdemos.
¿Cómo es que los caminos de Dios están por encima de nuestros caminos? El ejemplo que Isaías nos da es que el
camino de Dios es ser “generoso en perdonar” (Isaías 55:7). ¿Y cómo es nuestro camino? Nosotros tratamos de ser
“justos”. Tú me ofendes, entonces yo te ofendo también. Entonces, por supuesto, tú. . . Y así sucesivamente.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos dice que Dios no es “justo” de esa manera. Al contrario, Dios es tan generoso que no podemos ni siquiera entenderlo. ¿Pagar el mismo salario por una hora que por todo un día? ¡No es justo! “Busca al Señor” y encontrarás a un Dios que me llama a ser, no justo, sino
más generoso de lo que nos podemos imaginar.
