REFLECTIONS/REFLECCIONES
Matthew 5: 13-16
You are the salt of the earth
and the light of the world.
Domingo 5 del Año- A
Mt 5:13-16 Vosotros sois sal de la tierra y luz del mundo.
No Sugar nor Pepper
The Vatican II wrote some words that may seem farfetched but
are still relevant today. The joys and hopes, the sadness and
the anxieties of the people of our time, especially the poor and
afflicted, are the joys and hopes, sorrows and anxieties of the
followers of Christ. (GS 1).
The gospel had spoken of salt of the earth and light of the
world, and ends up saying the same thing without losing its
relevance today. Neither the salt nor the light are defined by
themselves, instead they are defined by what they give light
and flavor to. This means that no one can be happy alone.
Moreover, neither the salt nor light are luxury items that are
used only for certain occasions, instead, they are necessary
elements in everyday life.
By the order of Nero, some Christians were smeared with fish
and oil, suspended on poles and set on fire to light up the night
in the gardens of the emperor. Ignatius of Antioch wrote of
them: "They were truly light the world." The mission of being
the “light” can take a Christian to such extremes. The theme of
moral perfection, expressed in the Sermon on the Mount, signifies the great hope that God has placed in man. The man that
causes a lot of evil is also capable of doing good, even heroism,
and God knows this. If one is unable to realize moral perfection, one should try to do what he can, perhaps more than he
thinks he is capable. But it is necessary to enter into that path:
life will be more fulfilling and worth living, it will become nothing less than light and salt that gives flavor and meaning to
the lives of others who are insistent on not going on that same
blessed path.
We part with this statement: it may happen that those who
spend their lives in hidden occupations or spend long periods
in silent prayer or being sick in bed contribute more to the
illumination of the world instead of those dealing in passionate
discussion of political theology or religious commitments.
Prideful words in meetings and publications can overload the
soup with salt that will make it unpalatable. The correct measure provides the best spice: not sugar nor pepper, but salt
and light. Because of the variety of tastes, some people may
prefer it bland and others prefer it strong. Similarly, some people prefer the “legs of the action” and others “knees in
prayer.” The truth is that neither salt is stored canned and light
is not placed under a bucket. The Christian then should not
leave the world without making a positive impact in order to
better the world by making the hopes and fears of men his
own and making a good difference. This means that the Church
and the disciples of Jesus should make their presence known
and felt the same way that it takes to do all that is required in
having a good and successful celebration.
Ni azúcar ni pimienta
El Vat II escribió unas palabras que pueden ir quedando
lejos pero no pierden actualidad Los gozos y las esperanzas, las tristezas y las angustias de los hombres de nuestro tiempo, sobre todo de los pobres y de cuantos sufren,
son a la vez gozos y esperanzas, tristezas y angustias de
los discípulos de Cristo. (GS 1).
El evangelio había hablado de sal de la tierra y luz del
mundo, y viene a decir lo mismo sin que estas palabras
pierdan tampoco su actualidad. Ni la sal ni la luz se definen por sí mismas, sino por otra cosa a la que dan luz y
sabor. Quiere decir que nadie es feliz a solas. Por otra
parte, ni la sal ni la luz son artículos de lujo para algunas
ocasiones, sino elementos necesarios en la vida ordinaria.
Por orden de Nerón algunos cristianos fueron untados de
pez y aceite, suspendidos en mástiles y prendidos en fuego para que iluminaran la noche en los jardines del emperador. De ellos escribió Ignacio de Antioquia: “Eran
verdaderamente luz del mundo”. La misión de ser luz
puede llevar a un cristiano a semejantes extremos. El
programa de perfección moral, expresado en el Sermón
del Monte, significa las grandes esperanzas que Dios tiene depositadas en el hombre. El hombre que hace mucho mal es capaz también de hacer el bien hasta el
heroísmo, y Dios lo sabe. Si no es capaz de realizar con
perfección todo ese programa, debe intentar cuanto
pueda, quizá más de lo que piensa. Pero es necesario
entrar por ese camino: la vida será una vida realizada
que vale la pena vivirse; se convertirá, sin más, en luz y
sal que da sabor y sentido a la vida de los demás que se
obstinan en no entrar por ese camino.
Partimos de esta afirmación: puede suceder que quien
gasta su vida en ocupaciones ocultas o pasa largos ratos
en oración silenciosa o en la cama de enfermo, contribuya más a la iluminación del mundo que con apasionadas
discusiones sobre compromisos religiosos o teología política. La inflación de palabras en reuniones y publicaciones puede cargar la sopa de tanta sal que la haga intragable. La justa medida ofrece el mejor condimento: ni azúcar ni pimienta, sino sal y luz. La variedad de gustos hace
que unos lo prefieran soso y otros cargado. De igual manera, unos prefieren las piernas de la acción y otros las
rodillas de la oración. Lo cierto es que ni la sal se almacena en conserva ni la luz se pone debajo de un cubo. Tampoco el cristiano debe salirse del mundo, sino encarnarse
en él para mejorarlo haciendo suyas las esperanzas y temores de los hombres. Quiere decir que la Iglesia y los
discípulos de Jesús deben hacer notar su presencia lo
mismo cuando se trata de socorrer una necesidad que
cuando se trata de celebrar una fiesta.
