PAGE 1 ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 15, 2008 Events at The Catholic Charismatic Center The first reading is filled with enough good news for a lifetime. It is exactly what the recently escaped slaves in Egypt needed. They were three months into what would be a forty-year journey, or sojourn, in the desert. The first eighteen chapters of the book of Exodus tell us of the Hebrews’ ordeal in Egypt. They were nobodies with no name, no living history, no possible future. But God rescued them with a mighty outstretched arm and led them here to the foot of this mountain, a mountain that would live in memory—Mount Sinai. Today’s reading is the introduction to the covenant forged on Sinai that created a people. Through Moses the ex-slaves are reminded of God’s tender care: “I bore you up on eagle’s wings.” This in itself is amazing, but it gets better. The life-saving liberation from slavery led to something. Or rather, to someone, for God’s objective is not just to free the enslaved. That is too small a kindness. God brought them “here to myself.” They are to be dearer than any other people. And they are to be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. Herein lies their responsibility. On the third day, the covenant spelled out that responsibility—the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. This covenant will establish a framework of mutuality. As Paul reminds us in the second reading, in Jesus’ lifeblood we have been saved from ourselves. The compassion of Jesus is evident in all the Gospels. As he has done, so must we do. Like the first apostles called and sent out, we are called and sent out. The gifts we have received, we must give. They are not for hoarding; they flower in the giving. We do too, actually, though this is not the point. To focus on our own self-fulfillment often causes us to stumble badly, or at least to get all tangled up. “What’s in it for me?” isn’t usually a question on Jesus’ mind, nor should it be on ours. Our business is doing as Jesus did, being his ambassadors in our world. We have been given the gifts for it, and we are in the right place at the right time.

PAGE 5 XI DOMINGO ORDINARIO 15 DE JUNIO DEL 2008 Eventos de la Comunidad Hispana CONTINUAR LA OBRA DEL SEÑOR Puccini es uno de los más grandes compositores de Opera. Compuso la Boheme, Madame Butterfly… Enfermo de cáncer, decidió dedicar sus últimos años a escribir su última Ópera: Turandot. Sus amigos y alumnos le decían: Estás enfermo, tómalo suave y cuídate. Él les decía, voy a trabajar todo lo que pueda hasta completar mi obra maestra, y si no la termino a ustedes les dejo el encargo de completarla. Puccini murió sin completar su obra. Sus alumnos tenían dos opciones: a) llorar la muerte de su maestro y olvidar su obra y b) terminar la obra del maestro. Los alumnos optaron por ponerse a trabajar y completar la obra de su maestro. Y en 1926 bajo la dirección de Toscanini se estrenó la Ópera. Cuando llegó al final de la Ópera escrita por Puccini la orquesta dejó de tocar y el director dijo: "Aquí termina la obra del maestro". Y sus ojos se llenaron de lágrimas. Luego levantó la cabeza, sonrió y dijo: "Y aquí comienza el trabajo de sus discípulos". Jesús es nuestro maestro. Él comenzó a predicar la gran Ópera del amor de Dios. Jesús vino a demostrar que el amor no es un gran sentimiento sino una decisión, una elección que no necesita la respuesta de la persona amada. "Cristo murió por nosotros cuando éramos pecadores". No esperó a nuestra conversión, a nuestra respuesta, a cambiarnos el corazón. Empezó a amarnos desde siempre. El sol sale todos los días aunque no nos levantemos a ver la maravilla de ver nacer el día. El amor de Jesucristo es igual. Siempre está ahí haciendo nuevo el día pero nosotros somos despechados que no le hacemos caso porque las cosas no nos van bien, porque los hombres son malos, porque los curas son pecadores. Que estas cosas, her- manos, no nos oculten la realidad, la verdad del amor de Jesé cristo. Desde siempre y para siempre Él está ahí esperándole. El evangelio de Mateo nos da la lista de los doce hombres que Jesús llamó para continuar esta obra de amor. Doce hombres incultos, débiles, pecadores… Pedro, el primero de la lista, el que le niega, el que se duerme… Juan y Santiago, los avariciosos, los que quieren ser importantes… Tomás, el que duda… Mateo, el cobrador de impuestos, el que engaña a la gente y cobra de más… Judas, el que lo entrega con un beso. Una docena de hombres duros de corazón y más bien sucios. Con estos hombres nació la iglesia. No se dedicaron a llorar la obra del maestro. Guiados por el Espíritu Santo decidieron continuar la obra comenzada por Jesús. Aquí estamos nosotros, hoy, un grupo de hombre y mujeres, una comunidad guiada por el Espíritu; no somos ni mejores ni peores que aquellos doce hombres. Y queremos añadir nuestros nombres a la lista de millones de creyentes decididos a continuar la Ópera del maestro. "Sentir compasión, amor por los hermanos que no tienen pastor". Poner manos a esta obra siempre inacabada. Nosotros como los discípulos de Puccini tenemos una doble elección. Llorar la muerte de Jesús, llorar nuestra falta de fe, dejar que la cosecha se pierda, dejar que cada uno siga su camino sin dirección. Completar la obra de amor de Cristo. Cada domingo decimos: aquí termina la obra del maestro, esta es la Palabra del Señor, esta eucaristía es el regalo de Jesús… Jesús nos necesita a todos. debemos llevarlo a la vida y compartirlo con algún hermano."El miedo encarcela, la fe libera; el miedo paraliza, la fe vigoriza; el miedo acobarda, la fe se atreve; el miedo enferma, la fe sana; el miedo inutiliza, la fe sirve; y además el miedo siembra la desesperanza en el corazón de la vida mientras que la fe se regocija en su Dios".
