TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

En la frontera entre México y El Paso en Texas en los Estados Unidos hay una grandísima imagen de

Cristo Rey con sus brazos extendidos en bienvenida y sobre una cruz. En el continente Americano encontra-

mos imágenes de Cristo en las montañas como Cristo Redentor en Brasil, o Cristo de los Andes, entre Chile

y Argentina, o el Cristo Rey en Colombia; todos observando calladamente pesares y progresos de sus pue-

blos y naciones. En toda Latinoamérica se grita esperanzadamente “Viva Cristo Rey”.

La Iglesia universal honra a Cristo con el título de Rey solo desde 1925, pero siempre tuvo la certeza que

el pobre Jesús de Nazaret es nuestro Maestro y Señor y, contra él no pueden las fuerzas del mal ni la injusti-

cia. Terminando el año litúrgico, es justo y necesario recordar y festejar que Jesús reina para siempre.

En Latinoamérica y en todas partes donde la injusticia parece dominar, Cristo Rey es continuo recuerdo

de la promesa divina; de la esperanza de un mundo mejor no allá en el cielo sino aquí en la tierra renovada.

Por eso terminemos el año litúrgico gritando “Viva Cristo Rey”. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright, © J. S. Paluch Co.

DE REYES Y REINADOS

Los estadounidenses tienen una relación incomoda con los

reyes. La Revolución Estadounidense se peleó para lograr la

independencia del Rey Jorge, después de todo. Sin embargo,

hoy cada iglesia católica alrededor del mundo celebra la Solem-

nidad del Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo. La cele-

bración de hoy de la Iglesia nos invita a ver más allá de nuestras

lealtades nacionales y regocijarnos en nuestra primera identi-

dad. Somos hijos de Dios en Jesús, Cristo el Rey. Nuestras lec-

turas nos ayudan a considerar cómo pertenecer al Reino de

Dios. El libro de Samuel captura el profundo anhelo de los is-

raelitas por un rey que los pastoree. San Pablo recuerda a los

colosenses que pertenecemos al reino de Cristo, cuyo po-

der alaba en un hermoso himno. Por último, el Evangelio de

Lucas evoca el tipo de rey que Jesús elige ser, un siervo sufrien-

te, un hombre para los demás. Al sacrificar su vida por noso-

tros, Jesús abre las puertas del Paraíso. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
