Page Three January 26, 2014 THE THIRD SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME FULFILLING STATEMENTS The Gospel of Matthew was prepared for Jews who had converted to Christianity in the early church. Therefore, much of Matthew’s Gospel connects with prophecies found in readings from the Hebrew scriptures. Many of these prophecies foretold the suffering, doom, and demise of the Israelites, an often recalcitrant nation. But sometimes the prophecies pointed the people to a new vision, a new hope. It is this type of hopeful prophecy found in Isaiah today. At the time of Isaiah’s words (in the mid-eighth century B.C.) the Israelites were in the grip of darkness resulting from an Assyrian conquest. The Jewish leaders had rejected Isaiah’s plea for courage and faith in God. Instead they followed the pagan Assyrians. It was during this time that Isaiah foretold the coming of a Savior. The hope that Isaiah offered the people was the light brought to them by God, in the promise of the Messiah. FOLLOWING JESUS . . . THE NEW LIGHT Matthew makes a deliberate connection between the light that shines in the darkness and Jesus, the new light that will show us the way. The Gospel author uses the reading from Isaiah to connect the people of his community to their earlier tradition so that they could walk with Jesus Christ, the new light, the new hope. There was something urgent in the story that Matthew put down for the people. As he described the call of the first disciples, they left their nets, their boats, and their families at the summons of Jesus. Two thousand years later, we still hear the invitation and our hearts are stirred to drop all the distractions of our lives and follow Jesus. The call of Jesus leads us to a vocation. We may choose a religious life or a single life, or we may be called to marriage, but it is the way in which we live out our response that brings us out of the darkness and allows us to walk in the light. Copyright © 2007, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. THOUGHTS ON GIVING NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS “He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed Him.” Matthew 4:22 Just as He called the first apostles, Jesus calls each of us to follow Him, too. We are not expected to leave our businesses and our families behind, but we are expected to put our service to Jesus before worldly endeavors. First Reading — There will come to the temple the LORD whom you seek (Malachi 3:1-4). Psalm — Who is this king of glory? It is the Lord! (Psalm 24). Second Reading — Jesus had to become like his brothers and sisters in every way to help the descendants of Abraham (Hebrews 2:14-18). Gospel — The just and pious Simeon proclaims the infant Jesus to be a revealing light to the Gentiles, the glory of the people Israel (Luke 2:22-40 [22-32]).

Por lo tanto, mucho del evangelio de san Mateo hace una conexión con las profecías que aparecen en la Escritura hebrea. Muchas de esas profecías anunciaban el sufrimiento, la destrucción y desaparición de los israelitas, una nación a menudo desobediente. Pero algunas veces las profecías indicaban una nueva visión y esperanza para el pueblo. Es este tipo de profecía llena de esperanza que hoy leemos en Isaías. Durante el tiempo de las palabras de Isaías (en la mitad del siglo VIII a.C.) los israelitas estaban sumergidos en la oscuridad a causa de la conquista de los asirios. Los gobernantes judíos rechazaron las súplicas de Isaías para que pusieran su fe en Dios y fueran valientes, en cambio empezaron a seguir las costumbres paganas de los asirios. Fue durante ese tiempo que Isaías anunció la venida de un Salvador. La esperanza que Isaías ofreció al pueblo fue la luz que Dios les trajo al prometerles al Mesías. SEGUIMOS A JESÚS . . . LA NUEVA LUZ San Mateo vincula conscientemente la luz que brilla en la oscuridad con Jesús, la nueva luz que nos mostrará el camino. El autor del evangelio usa la lectura de Isaías para vincular a la gente de su comunidad con las de la tradición anterior, para que pudieran caminar con Jesucristo, la nueva luz, la nueva esperanza. Había algo urgente en la historia que san Mateo escribió para el pueblo. En su descripción de la llamada de los primeros discípulos, ellos dejaron sus redes, barcas y familias al escuchar la invitación de Jesús. Dos mil años más tarde todavía escuchamos la invitación, y nuestro corazón se conmueve y nos disponemos a abandonar las distracciones de nuestra vida para seguir a Jesús. El llamado de Jesús nos conduce a una vocación. Podemos escoger una vida religiosa o una vida célibe, o podemos ser llamados al matrimonio, pero la manera en que vivamos nuestra respuesta es lo que nos sacará de la oscuridad y nos permitirá caminar en la luz. PENSAMIENTOS DE GENEROSIDAD "El los llamó, y dejaron en seguida la barca y a su padre, y lo siguieron." Mateo 4:22 Igual como llamó al primer apóstol, Jesús llama a cada uno de nosotros a seguirlo también. No se espera que dejemos nuestras cosas y a nuestras familias de lado, pero se espera que nos pongamos al servicio de Jesús antes de cualquier esfuerzo mundano. LECTURAS DEL PROXIMO DOMINGO Primera lectura — Envío a mi mensajero, el mensajero de la alianza; ¿quien se mantendrá en pie? (Malaquías 3:1-4) Salmo — El Señor, Dios de los ejércitos: él es el Rey de la gloria (Salmo 25 [24]). Segunda lectura — Jesús quien se hizo totalmente humano vino a ayudar a los hijos de Abraham (Hebreos 2:14-18). Evangelio — El justo y piadoso Simeón proclama que el niño Jesús es una luz para los gentiles, la gloria del pueblo de Israel (Lucas 2:22-40 [22-32]).

Es curioso el apelativo de “Don” ya que es un título para nobles señores. En siglos pasados era el título común para un sacerdote diocesano, mientras que el título hermano se reservaba para sacerdotes y hermanos religiosos. En la Iglesia católica existen dos clases de sacerdotes. Unos son diocesanos o seculares quienes dedican su vida a la diócesis a la que pertenecen. Estos sacerdotes hacen voto de celibato y obediencia al obispo local. El otro grupo de sacerdotes son los que pertenecen a órdenes religiosas. Ellos viven en comunidad y hacen votos de pobreza, celibato y obediencia a su comunidad. En muchas partes a todos los sacerdotes religiosos o diocesanos se les llama “padre”. Este título fue usado en la Primera Iglesia y durante la Edad Media para honrar a hombres santos, ya fueran laicos o sacerdotes. Se les llamaba “padres” sólo cuando habían llegado a mostrar, con una larga vida, que podían animar a los demás con su buen ejemplo. Todos los sacerdotes debían vivir de tal manera que merecieran el título de padre, sin desearlo directamente. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
