When two people meet heart to heart and work through old hurts, misunderstandings, and careless words, cleansing tears often flow and the encounter ends with an embrace that fills both with the warmth of a love too strong to fade. The readings this weekend assure us of this healthy release that comes with reconciliation. They give us the courage to reach out to someone with whom we need to reconcile ourselves, and give us the courage to ask for forgiveness from God, too. In the reading from Exodus, we see how God refuses again and again to give up on the Israelites. Even though they grow impatient with God and turn to false idols, God still calls them back. Luke’s Gospel assures us that God rejoices when we turn away from sin. Paul’s letter to Timothy encourages us, like Paul, to look back on our lives and recognize where God’s patient mercy has been shown to us. ********** REFLEJOS RECONCILIACIÓN La verdadera reconciliación es emocional, dramática y purificadora. Cuando dos personas se encuentran de corazón a corazón para reparar viejas heridas, malentendidos y palabras descuidadas, lágrimas purificadoras fluyen con frecuencia y el encuentro termina con un abrazo que llena a ambas con el calor de un amor demasiado fuerte para apagarse. Las lecturas esta semana nos aseguran que una saludable liberación acompaña la reconciliación. Ellas nos dan el valor de acercarnos a alguien con quien necesitemos reconciliarnos, y también nos dan valor para pedir perdón a Dios. En la lectura del Éxodo, vemos cómo Dios se niega una y otra vez a abandonar a los israelitas. Aunque ellos se impacientan con Dios y adoran falsos dioses, Dios todavía vuelve a llamarlos. El Evangelio de san Lucas nos asegura que Dios se regocija cuando nos apartamos del pecado. La carta de Pablo a Timoteo nos anima, como Pablo, a revisar nuestra vida y a reconocer las ocasiones en que Dios ha sido paciente y misericordioso con nosotros.
