Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday, February 8th, 2015
5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"Then the fever left her and she waited on them." What a day for
this woman! She had been confined to bed, burning with a fever, too
sick to move around. Then, her son-in-law showed up with his
brother, two friends, and a man with a growing reputation for
working miracles. With no ceremony, this man came straight over
to her, took her hand and helped her to her feet. There was no time
to question Jesus' bold action because in an instant, the woman was
healed. Whatever he had done had worked!
We can imagine that the appearance of this group of guests at her
house caused Simon's mother-in-law some distress; in her illness,
she had been unable to offer them the hospitality so important in that
culture. But as soon as the fever disappeared, she regained the
freedom to properly welcome her visitors. No longer sick, she was
able to serve. And that was exactly what she wanted to do. Without
hesitation, she began to use her restored health to care for others.
And soon enough, her hospitality was extended to new levels
because "the whole town was gathered at the door" to see Jesus in
action.
How do we use our health? Do we think of it as a gift from God to
be put at the service of others? Or do we think of good health as
simply our own right? Today's virtuous woman teaches us about a
kind of physical generosity. Recognizing that her health had been
given to her as a gift, she in turn offered her strength, her ability to
stand and walk and work, as a gift to others. What a beautiful way to
understand the human body. Instead of focusing on how our bodies
can serve us, may we follow the example of this woman who was
so quick to attend to the needs of her family, her friends, and her
neighbors.

Esta misa es ofrecida:
Por el eterno descanso de María Edelmira Vergara González
5º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La vida de la sociedad de hoy está colmada de desilusiones y
enfermedades. A dondequiera que veamos hay algo que nos
conmueve. En la primera lectura el Libro de Job describe la realidad
de aquel tiempo y el de ahora. La fatiga, nostalgia y prisa nos
rodean: "Recuerda, Señor, que mi vida es un soplo. Mis ojos no
volverán a ver la dicha". Para Job la vida es servicio y trata de
trabajar duro como un jornalero. Démonos cuenta de que la
condición humana tiene como característica el esfuerzo y el
sufrimiento. Es necesario trabajar para recibir nuestro salario como
recompensa.
Pero hay muchas personas que como Job ni siquiera tienen el
consuelo de una recompensa o un salario. El Libro de Job nos
enseña que la vida es frágil y quebradiza. Suele parecer que como
un soplo, nuestro destino es la muerte. Más, sin embargo, en el
Evangelio, Marcos nos muestra a un Jesús ocupado siempre,
curando, orando y anunciando la Buena Nueva. El Señor Jesús es el
único capaz de curar y de vencer el mal que nos aqueja: "Y [Jesús]
recorrió toda Galilea, predicando en las sinagogas y expulsando a
los demonios". ¿Qué males tengo? ¿Cuáles deben ser expulsados
para que sea yo feliz? Tres aspectos de la vida terrena de Jesús
deben tomar nuestra atención. Primero, sanar nuestras heridas físicas
y espirituales. Jesús es el médico y desea que sanemos. Segundo es
orar: nuestras actividades no nos deben de apartar de la intimidad
con Dios. Por último, anunciar y proclamar la Buena Nueva. Pero
observemos que si no tenemos las primeras dos, de nada servirá que
hagamos la tercera. Hacer bien el trabajo que se nos encomienda
significa luchar contra el mal. ¿Entendemos esto?
