from which all of our dreams begin—in God. It’s where
gorges of human pain and suffering are filled and
where mountains of injustice are brought low. It’s the
way God begins to lead the people home to where it
all began.
mismísimo lugar en donde comienzan nuestros sueños, o sea,
en Dios. Es donde las quebradas del dolor y el sufrimiento humanos se llenan y donde las montañas de injusticias llegan
finalmente a abajarse. Es la manera en que Dios comienza a
conducir a su pueblo hacia su destino, ahí donde todo comenzó. Derechos de autor ©2012,World Library Publications.Todos los derechos

Word of Life/ Palabra de Vida
God is the Savior; we are those who are in peril. He is the
physician; we are the infirm. To realize this is the first step
towards salvation, towards emerging from the maze in
which we have been locked by our pride. To lift our eyes to
heaven, to stretch out our hands and call for help is our
means of escape, provided that there is Someone who
hears us and can come to our assistance. Jesus Christ is
the proof that God has heard our cry. And not only this!
God’s love for us is so strong that he cannot remain aloof;
he comes out of himself to enter into our midst and to
share fully in our human condition (cf. Ex 3:7-12). … Only
the God who is love, and the love which is God, could
choose to save us in this way, which is certainly the lengthiest way, yet the way which respects the truth about him
and about us: the way of reconciliation, dialogue and cooperation. ~Pope Benedict XVI, Urbi et Orbi Christmas
Message, 2011
Dios es el Salvador, nosotros, los que estamos en peligro. Él
es el médico, nosotros, los enfermos. Reconocerlo es el primer paso hacia la salvación, hacia la salida del laberinto en
el que nosotros mismos nos encerramos con nuestro orgullo.
Levantar los ojos al cielo, extender las manos e invocar
ayuda, es la vía de salida, siempre y cuando haya Alguien
que escuche y que pueda venir en nuestro auxilio. Jesucristo
es la prueba de que Dios ha escuchado nuestro clamor. Y,
no sólo. Dios tiene un amor tan fuerte por nosotros, que no
puede permanecer en sí mismo, que sale de sí mismo y
viene entre nosotros, compartiendo nuestra condición hasta
el final (cf. Ex 3,7-12). … Sólo el Dios que es amor y el amor
que es Dios podía optar por salvarnos por esta vía, que es
sin duda la más larga, pero es la que respeta su verdad y la
nuestra: la vía de la reconciliación, el diálogo y la colaboración.~Papa Benedicto XVI, Mensaje Urbi et Orbi para Navidad, 2011
