All is Grace
On Sundays in Ordinary Time, the Old Testament reading is selected for the light
it sheds on the days Gospel. Today, Ezekiel sees God lifting up the lowly tree and
making the withered tree bloom. So in the second parable of todays Gospel, Jesus
encourages us by promising that, as fragile seeds grow into an abundant harvest,
and the tiny mustard seed into a hearty plant, so God will grow the kingdom from
small beginnings to an instrument of salvation for all. In the first parable, the land
yields fruit of its own accord (Mark 4:28). Not only is the initiative Gods, but the
parable teaches that the seeds growth, though invisible at first, is actually unstoppable! To be sure, those who depend on the impressive or dramatic in order to be convinced or encouraged will be disappointed in the slow unfolding of the kingdom that
Jesus announces. But for those who do accept the kingdom, all is grace, and that
grace is certain.
Though the second reading is not coordinated with either the first reading or
Gospel on these Sundays, todays is thematically appropriate. Saint Paul argues that
our experience of Gods trustworthiness thus far should make us a people of undaunted courage and unshakeable faith. But at the same time Paul warns that faith
should also make us aware of our responsibility to do good.

Undcimo Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
14 de junio de 2015

TODO ES GRACIA
Durante los domingos del Tiempo Ordinario,
la lectura del An guo Testamento se relaciona
con el tema del Evangelio de ese domingo. Hoy
Ezequiel ve a Dios elevar los rboles pequeos y
florecer los rboles secos. Y en las parbolas del
Evangelio de hoy, Jess nos anima poniendo
como ejemplos el fruto abundante que puede dar
una semilla y que la semilla tan pequea de
mostaza crece y se convierte en uno de los
arbustos ms grandes, y as es Dios quien hace
crecer el Reino de un pequeo comienzo a un instrumento de salvacin para todos. La primera
parbola la erra por s sola produce el fruto
(Marcos 4:28). Adems de la inicia va de Dios, la
parbola ensea que el crecimiento de la semilla,
al principio invisible, no se puede detener. Para
estar seguros, las personas que dependen de lo
que impresiona o llama fuertemente la atencin
para estar convencidas o animadas pues van a
estar decepcionadas en lo despacio que se hace
realidad el reino que Jess anunci. Pero para
quienes aceptan el reino, todo es gracia y la
gracia es verdadera.
An cuando la segunda lectura no se relaciona ni con la primera ni con el Evangelio
durante estos domingos; hay que
considerar el mensaje que ene la
de hoy. San Pablo afirma que en
Nuestro camino de fe confiamos
en Dios y esto debe hacernos un
pueblo de valor indomable y fe
inquebrantable. Y al mismo empo
Pablo nos advierte que la fe
tambin debe hacernos
consientes de nuestra
responsabilidad de hacer el bien.

Pequeos detalles grandes

Las lecturas y su mensaje
Ez 17:22-24
Restaurar no es comenzar otra cosa, sino renovar lo que
ya haba. Aqu la comunidad del exilio recibe la promesa
de ser restaurada. Yahv comenzar su obra en Babilonia
y luego iniciar algo con el resto de su pueblo. El pueblo
exiliado ser restablecido en el alto monte de Israel.
2 Cor 5:6-10
El vaciarse puede impresionar como algo terrible y de
despojo; pero, ante Dios, ste no es un vaco, sino la obra
de Dios.
Mc 4:26-34
La persona humana ve y observa; pero no ene en la
mano el conseguir el Reino al inal. La cosecha final refiere
al juicio y a la accin de Dios al final de los empos. El
Reino es obra del poder de Dios y no de la voluntad humana. Se habla despus del grano de mostaza, la ms
pequea de las semillas. Compara Jess a esa semilla con
el Reino: una realidad pobre y oscura en la que se pone
de maniiesto el poder de Dios.

PARA LA REFLEXIN

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Jess manifiesta su poder mediante el perdn de los pecados
(Marcos 2:1-12). Por medio de la reconciliacin con Dios, Jess
sana a los enfermos, marginalizados y hasta sus propios
enemigos. Este poder de perdonar pecados Jess mismo lo
encarga a su Iglesia, infundiendo su Espritu sobre los primeros
discpulos (Juan 20:22-23).
Segn el Smbolo (Credo) de los Apstoles, los cris anos
creemos en el perdn de los pecados. Esta creencia se
relaciona con creer en el Espritu Santo, la Iglesia, la comunin
de los santos, la resurreccin del cuerpo y la vida eterna. En el
perdn de los pecados, el Espritu Santo manifiesta su con nua
presencia y accin en la Iglesia y comunin de los santos.
Quienes reciben el perdn de los pecados mediante la
celebracin del Bau smo o el sacramento de la Reconciliacin,
estn preparados para la resurreccin y la vida eterna.
El perdn de los pecados manifiesta el poder de Cristo, del
Espritu Santo y de la Iglesia. Los cris anos estamos llamados al
perdn; perdonando, as como deseamos ser perdonados.
Perdonando, como Jesucristo.
