WEEKLY HOMILY / HOMILÍA SEMANAL
Second Sunday OT/Segundo Domingo del TO
John saw Jesus coming towards him and said: “This is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” Here, John is a witness of Christ. According to the Hebrew tradition, God alone can forgive or take away sins. But why is this word so important for us today? God is making an important call to us today, an invitation to meditate on the events of our lives, to see if we can say as did John the Baptist about Jesus. God is calling us to be witnesses. But we can only be witnesses of something if we have experienced it, if we have touched it, if we had been part, or involved in the action. For instance, if we had seen or been part of an accident, then we could be called to testify about it. Since St. John the Baptist has been a witness of the actions and of the life of Christ and since he saw Jesus passing by, he can give testimony of Jesus to everyone, for he has seen the Holy Spirit coming down upon Him, as it has been revealed by God. For us today, it is a little bit more complicated. It is true that we have received this same spirit in baptism and the command to be an apostles and priests, but how many times have we been witnesses of Christ before our families, friends, co-workers, etc.? We have all received the Holy Spirit, which brings us to Christ and makes us see His actions in our lives. That is why before being a witness; we need to have an experienced for Christ in our lives. In this way we can show him to the others, as St. Paul does in the second reading or today: “Paul, called to be an apostle, witness, of Christ Jesus by the will of God…” Let us all, then, ask the Lord to receive this grace today, to be witnesses of Christ, so that all those put by God around us, may know him and experience the love God has for them. May God bless you and your families and friends always. Este es el cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo…” Aquí Juan, esta dando testimonio de Cristo. Según la tradición Hebrea, solo Dios es el que puede perdonar, quitar, los pecados. ¿Por qué es importante esta palabra hoy para todos nosotros? Dios nos esta haciendo a todos nosotros hoy un llamado especial, una invitación a reflexionar en los acontecimientos de nuestra vida, para ver si nosotros podemos decir lo mismo que dijo Juan el Bautista de Jesús. Dios nos está llamando a ser testigos. Pero solo se puede ser testigo de algo si hemos experimentado, si hemos visto, palpado, si nos hemos estado involucrados en la acción. Por ejemplo si hemos visto, o participado en un accidente nos pueden llamar a declarar como testigos de ese accidente. Juan ha sido testigo de la acción y de la vida de Cristo, por eso cuando ve pasar a Cristo, da testimonio de quien es Jesús a todo el mundo, por que ha visto al Espíritu Santo posarse sobre el, como le fue revelado por Dios. Para nosotros hoy, es un poquito mas complicado, ya que nosotros, que hemos recibido ese mismo espíritu en el Bautismo, el espíritu de hijos adoptivos, y el mandato de ser apóstoles y sacerdotes, ¿Cuántas veces hemos sido testigos de Cristo ante nuestros familiares, amigos, compañeros de trabajo, etc.? Por que todos nosotros hemos recibido el Espíritu Santo, que nos conduce a Cristo, que nos hace reconocer la acción de Jesús en nuestras vidas. Por eso antes de ser testigos, necesitamos haber experimentado a Cristo, para poder así, mostrarlo a los demás, como hace San Pablo en la segunda lectura de hoy: “Pablo, llamado a ser apóstol, testigo, de Cristo Jesús por la voluntad de Dios…” Así que pidamos a Dios recibir esta gracia hoy, poder ser testigos de Cristo para que todos aquellos que Dios nos ha puesto alrededor, puedan conocerlo y así experimentar el amor que Dios les tiene. Que Dios me los bendiga a todos y a sus familias

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
We have the wedding at Cana at the heart of today’s liturgy because this story of Jesus’ first miracle of water turned into wine was originally part of the Epiphany feast. Wedding celebrations always require some savvy planning, and a people who have a talent for hospitality in the mix. The mother of Jesus has been recruited to deal with some of the details of the banquet, and when a very understandable crisis arises, she does what she can to rescue the party. Anyone who has ever run out of ice, dessert, or table settings knows the stress! Slowly, the memory of Jesus Christ’s blessing of this marriage feast led the Church to form a way to bless marriages. A thousand years ago weddings migrated from the family home to the doors of the church, where the celebration was held in public view. From this practice came a prayer called the “Nuptial Blessing,” one of the most solemn prayers in our tradition. It is very much like the prayers by which baptismal water and chrism are consecrated, the ordination prayer over a priest, and the Eucharistic Prayers over bread and wine. Four hundred fifty years ago, weddings moved inside the church building. All of this gives married couples good reason to celebrate this day as a mini-anniversary, especially with the clinking of glasses filled with good wine. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En la última mitad de 2005 la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura (UNESCO) declaro la carreta como Obra Maestra del Patrimonio Oral e Inmaterial de la Humanidad en Costa Rica. Esta acción sorprendió a muchos, ya que normalmente pensamos en cosas antiguas, ricas o sofisticas como patrimonio y no algo tan cotidiano, común y corriente como la carreta. Por siglos la carreta ha sido algo útil en América. Con ella las poblaciones han podido emigrar, de una parte del continente al otro, buscando una mejor vida; con ella hemos acarreado nuestras mercancías al mercado; con ella hemos llevado a la familia a darse un paseo; y en ella hemos llevado a nuestros santos en procesiones de intercesión o agradecimiento a nuestro Dios. Viendo este evento con ojos de fe, yo pienso que al proclamar la carreta como patrimonio de la humanidad la UNESCO obró como instrumento del Dios que hace la humanidad común y corriente su propio patrimonio. En esta declaración sobre la carreta, Dios nos invita a reconocerlo en y a regocijarnos en lo cotidiano. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
