Isn’t that exactly the reason for which we train our priests: The priestly vocation is one of standing with people in the moments of their lives when they most need hope: praying at the bedside of the dying and bringing comfort to the grieving family; baptizing children in the waters of Eternity; feeding the spiritually hungry with the Medicine of Immortality; reconciling and healing lost sheep to help them get to Heaven. These great sacramental moments bring Hope for Eternal Life, as do the many moments of silent priestly presence in the lives of the faithful. Indeed, we are seeing miracles occur in the lives and of our men and in the continued growth of our seminary. Jesus is the reason for our Hope – may each of us stay deeply rooted in Him”.

Page 6 January 26, 2014 A CHRSITIAN Manifiesto When the founding fathers of the United States put quill to parchment to set forth the principles and intentions, values and ideology upon which the nation would be established, they called their manifesto the Declaration of Independence. When architect Frank Lloyd Wright wished to impart is views on the nature of design and construction, he wrote a 10-point manifesto for his apprentices. Most manifestos are positive and idealistic, though some reveal the less-than-laudable aspects of human nature, as in Hitler’s Mein Kampf or that of the Unibomber, Ted Kaczynski. Even more manifestos are powerful and inspiring, such as Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream.” Others are lyrical in nature, as with Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman,” Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie’s “We Are the World,” and Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” This month, we as Christians are privileged to remember and celebrate our own manifesto — the teachings of Jesus, the values of the kingdom and the challenges of discipleship as they have been communicated to us by the Matthean evangelist in the Sermon on the Mount. After we recall the purification of Mary and the Presentation of Jesus in the temple (Feb. 2), where Simeon’s prayer and prophecy offer a preview of Jesus’ salvific mission, we will follow as Matthew leads us into the mind and heart of Jesus, as it was experienced by the evangelist and his community. To understand the significance of the Great Sermon, we should appreciate its political background. Writing for second and third generations of believers in the wake of the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, the Matthean evangelist was trying to help his contemporaries to see their faith and themselves as rooted in, yet distinct from, Judaism. When Jewish believers in Jesus were ousted from the synagogue in the mid-80s C.E., defining their Christian identity became all the more important. The rabbis at Jamnia were trying to maintain their Jewish faith and traditions after the disastrous war with Rome and fall of Jerusalem; in the same way, the Matthean community struggled to remain true to Jesus and his teachings. The Great Sermon clearly shows that they saw themselves as the new Israel united by their faith in Jesus and dedication to the new law of the kingdom. In a world darkened by war, oppression and violence, they sought to be both salt and light, as Jesus had commanded (Feb. 9). While others were exacting their pounds of flesh, believers in Jesus were striving to avoid even the semblance of anger. They worked toward forgiveness rather than retribution, and while others devalued the bonds of marriage, the followers of Jesus tried to remain faithful to their spouses. Rather than die or dissemble in any way, they were determined to conduct themselves with integrity (Feb. 16). While others retaliated in kind for wrongs committed against them — an eye for an eye — those who professed to believe in and belong to Jesus were called to offer no resistance and to go so far as to love their enemies (Feb. 23). Given its radical nature, some have dismissed the demands of the Great Sermon as unrealistic and unattainable. Martin Luther called Matthew 5-7 “a pernicious document which has wrought incalculable harm by presenting an impossible ethic.” Others have relegated the Great Sermon to an “interim ethic” or a sort of last-ditch effort that one might be able to sustain only for a short time while awaiting the returning Jesus. But others, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, have urged believers to accept the Christian manifesto that is the Great Sermon with simple surrender and obedience (A Testament to Freedom, Harper San Francisco: 1995). Jesus would not have us pick and choose from his teachings, accepting what we find useful and ignoring what seems impractical or even absurd given the reality of the world in which we live. Jesus doesn’t give believers free rein to misuse his word, but offers his truth on the condition that it retains exclusive power over them. This is our manifesto as believers and as disciples. Instead of having us simply listen to these challenges or endlessly discuss them as an ideal, Jesus means us to get on with it. “It is not those who say to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ who will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the person who does the will of my father inheaven” (Matt 7:21, JB). As we strive together to discern and then act on what we perceive to be God’s will, we are not alone. Graced and inspired by the Spirit, we are strengthened for every challenge. Supported and inspired by one another, we who keep and live the challenges of the Great Sermon become a community that presents a visible, viable alternative to the world. In a word, we become ekklesia, church, the living body of Christ in the world. Un Manifiesto Cristiano Cuando los padres fundadores de los Estados Unidos pusieron su pluma al pergamino para establecer los principios, las intenciones, los valores y la ideología sobre la que querían establecer esta nación, escribieron un manifiesto al que llamaron la Declaración de la Independencia. Cuando el arquitecto Frank Lloyd Wright quiso impartir su punto de vista sobre la naturaleza del diseño y de la construcción, escribió para sus aprendices un manifiesto de diez puntos. La mayoría de los manifiestos son de carácter político, a menudo positivo e idealista, como el manifiesto zapatista (“Tierra, Tierra para todos”), el de Hidalgo (“El Grito de Dolores”), o el “Sí se puede” de nuestros días. Otros manifiestos rebelan aspectos poco loables de la naturaleza humana, como el de Adolfo Hitler (Mein Kampf), o el de Ted Kaczynski (el Unibomber). Otros tienen un carácter lírico, como el de Wisin y Yandel (“Algo me gusta de ti”), Camila (“De qué me sirve la vida”), o Kiko Argüello (“Resucitó, aleluya”). Este mes, tenemos el privilegio de recordar y celebrar nuestro propio manifiesto cristiano: el Gran Sermón de la Montaña con las enseñanzas de Cristo, los valores del Reino de los Cielos y el reto de ser sus discípulos, según San Mateo. El 2 de febrero celebramos la Purificación de María y la Presentación de Jesús en el templo; la oración y la profecía de Simeón ofrecen una vista previa de la misión salvífica de Jesús. Durante el resto del mes San Mateo seguirá guiándonos para que conozcamos mejor la mente y el corazón de Jesús, según la experiencia del evangelista y de su comunidad de Siria Antioquía. Por eso, para comprender el significado del Gran Sermón, es importante apreciar su trasfondo político: Mateo escribía para la segunda y tercera generación de creyentes, a raíz de la guerra con Roma que destruyó Jerusalén y su templo. El evangelista trataba de ayudar a sus contemporáneos a comprender su fe que, aunque tenía sus raíces en el Judaísmo, era distinta de él. Cuando los Judíos cristianos fueron expulsados de la sinagoga a mediados de los años ochenta D.C., sintieron que tenían que definir su propia identidad cristiana. Los rabinos de Jannia, por su parte, también trataban de mantener su fe judía y sus tradiciones después de la desastrosa guerra. La comunidad judeocristiana de San Mateo tuvo que luchar para mantenerse fiel a Jesús y a sus enseñanzas y, al definirse, se vieron a sí mismos como el Nuevo Israel, unidos por su fe en Jesucristo y dedicados al cumplimiento de la nueva ley del Reino, expresada claramente en el Gran Sermón. En un mundo oscurecido por la guerra, la opresión y la violencia, los cristianos trataban de ser luz y sal de la tierra, como había mandado Jesucristo (9 de febrero). Mientras unos exigían con exasperación cobrar lo suyo, los seguidores de Jesús procuraban evitar hasta la misma apariencia de enojo; se esforzaban en perdonar en vez de exigir retribución, mientras unos devaluaban los lazos matrimoniales, los seguidores de Jesús trataban de permanecer fieles a sus cónyuges. En vez de morir o de encubrir, los cristianos decidieron vivir con integridad (16 de febrero). Mientras unos buscaban vengarse pagando con la misma moneda que habían recibido — ojo por ojo y diente por diente — Jesús llamaba a sus seguidores a no ofrecer resistencia, y hasta amar a sus propios enemigos (23 de febrero). El Gran Sermón tiene exigencias muy radicales; por eso muchos lo han descartado como irreal e inalcanzable. El mismo Martín Lutero decía que los capítulos 5 a 7 de San Mateo eran “un documento pernicioso que ha causado daños incalculables pues presenta una ética imposible.” Otros han relegado el Gran Sermón a una “ética interina,” es decir, como un último esfuerzo en la “última trinchera” que uno puede sostener sólo por poco tiempo esperando que Jesús regrese pronto. Pero otros, como Dietrich Bonhoeffer en su Testamento a la Libertad (Harper SanFrancisco: 1995) han instado a los creyentes a aceptar el manifiesto cristiano del Gran Sermón de la Montaña y a someterse a él obedientemente. Jesucristo no dice que podemos escoger o elegir lo que más nos agrada de sus enseñanzas, o que aceptemos lo que nos parece útil, y que podemos ignorar lo que resulta impráctico o hasta absurdo según los criterios del mundo moderno. Jesús no da a sus creyentes rienda suelta para que abusemos de su palabra; al contrario, Jesús ofrece la verdad a condición de que ésta conserve su poder exclusivo sobre nosotros. Éste es nuestro manifiesto como creyentes y como discípulos. En vez de simplemente escuchar estos desafíos y discutirlos incesantemente como un ideal, Jesucristo quiere que los pongamos en práctica: “No todo el que diga, ‘¡Señor! ¡Señor!,’ entrará en el Reino de los Cielos, sino el que haga la voluntad de mi Padre Celestial” (Mateo 7:21, B de J). Mientras nos esforzamos por discernir cuál es la voluntad de Dios y tratamos de ponerla en práctica, recordemos que no estamos solos. La gracia y la inspiración del Espíritu de Dios nos dan la fuerza para poder afrontar cualquier desafío. Inspirándonos y apoyándonos los unos en los otros, aceptemos vivir los retos del Gran Sermón; de ese modo formaremos una comunidad que presenta a este mundo una alternativa visible y viable. En una palabra, nos convertiremos en ekklesia, en iglesia, el Cuerpo vivo de Cristo en el mundo.

Open your hand to the poor and needy neighbor in your land (Deut. 15:11; Isa. 58:6-12. As the example of the saints has taught us, in loving and serving the poor, we too love and serve Jesus Himself. If you have not already responded to Archbishop Wenski’s letter received by mail, please take time to consider the pledge you will wish to make, a pledge that gives witness to your gratitude for God’s blessings in your life. Your generous and unwavering support of the ABCD is a witness to your faith. We ask for your continued support by making a sacrificial pledge and join together to be One in Faith, One in Hope and One in Charity. Thank you. A aquellos de ustedes que ya han hecho su promesa de sacrificio al ABCD, les damos gracias por su generosidad. Su apoyo es notable y de gran alcance. La fe expande nuestros corazones en esperanza. Como el Papa Benedicto XVI dice en su Carta Apostólica Porta Fidei: “La fe sin la caridad no da fruto, y la caridad sin la fe sería un sentimiento constantemente a merced de la duda. La fe y la caridad requieren una de la otra”. Su fiel y generosa participación en las contribuciones al ABCD proviene de las numerosas bendiciones que Dios les ha dado a ustedes y a sus seres queridos. Permanezcamos Unidos en la Fe, Unidos en la Esperanza y Unidos en la Caridad.
