Reflections
˜
Reflexiones
Gospel: Luke 6:27-38
In today's Gospel, Jesus says those "three little words" that make being a Christian a true challenge: "Love your enemies." The followers of Jesus must do more than be kind to their friends. Even sinners can do that much! Jesus challenges us to realize our potential as sons and daughters of God. We have the power to turn the other cheek, to lend without expecting repayment, to give generously to those who take advantage of us. Jesus does not pretend that it is easy to love our enemies. But he requires us to keep trying, to keep growing into fully mature Christians who can change the world by the power of love.
1.) It has been said that maturity is measured by the willingness to give. How mature are you? How willing are you to give compassion? Nonjudgmental
acceptance? Forgiveness? How willing are you to give these to your friends? How willing are you to give these to those you do not know well or do not consider friends?
Evangelio: Lucas 6:27-38
En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús dice "cuatro palabras pequeñas" que convierten la existencia de los cristianos en un desafío verdadero: "Amen a sus enemigos". Los seguidores de Jesús deben ser más que amables con sus amigos. Hasta los pecadores hacen eso. Jesús nos reta a darnos cuenta de nuestro potencial como hijos e hijas de Dios. Tenemos el poder de poner la otra mejilla, dar sin esperar recompensa, dar generosamente a los que se aprovechan de nosotros. Jesús no pretende que sea fácil amar a nuestros enemigos. Pero nos exhorta a tratar de crecer y madurar como cristianos que pueden cambiar el mundo por el poder del amor.1.) Se ha dicho que la madurez es medida por buena voluntad de dar. ¿Qué tan madurado eres? ¿Cuán dispuesto estás a ser compasivo? ¿A no criticar? ¿A perdonar? ¿Qué tan dispuesto estás a tener compasión por tus amigos? ¿Qué tan dispuesto estás a ser
compasivo con los que no conoces o con los que no consideras tus amigos?

DO NO HARM
We listen quite a while before we get to the “punch line” of the first reading today: even though it would be an easy thing to do, David will not harm the anointed one of the Lord. We, of course, know that Jesus is the
Messiah, the anointed one of God, but the Bible uses this term for many different people. It is scripture’s way of indicating who has been chosen by God for a special place and mission in salvation history.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus presents a greatly enlarged list of those who, as children of God, we should not harm, but love instead: our enemies, those who curse us or do us harm, those who owe us money, the ungrateful, the wicked. The point of Jesus’ teaching is not to encourage these kinds of behaviors in others, but rather to form us in the image of our heavenly Father by increasing our opportunities to love unconditionally, expecting no return; to be merciful and forgiving, even when it would be easier not to.
