The Liturgy of the Day
On this Third Sunday of Lent,
we enter into a reflection on
what God’s commands mean
to us. Are they a list of do’s
and don’ts? Or are they
something that we take to
heart and allow to consume us
with zeal for the work that
God has set before us? Let us
pray today for the wisdom to
know how God truly wants us
to live.
a la Liturgia del Día
.En este tercer domingo de
Cuaresma entramos en una
reflexión acerca de lo que
significan los mandamientos de
Dios para nosotros. ¿Acaso son
una lista de lo que se debe y no se
debe hacer? O, ¿son más bien algo
que tomamos en serio y que
permitimos nos consuma con el
celo por la obra que Dios nos ha
puesto por delante? Oremos hoy
para recibir la sabiduría de conocer
cómo quiere Dios que
verdaderamente vivamos nuestra
vida.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• Hoy, en este ciclo B, la invitación cuaresmal a
amar según el amor de la alianza nos destaca los
Diez Mandamientos, cuyo doble llamado a amar a
Dios y al prójimo se hace carne en la persona de
Jesús. En el ejemplo que nos da Jesús del amor
incondicional esta invitación se convierte en el
modelo imperecedero del compromiso bautismal
para los discípulos de Jesús.
• Nuestra cultura valora el mérito y adjudica
posiciones sociales en base a dónde y cómo uno
vive, los bienes que uno tiene y la ropa que uno
viste, cuánto tienes y cuánto gastas. Es por eso que
optar por dar la vida por alguien y perdonar a
nuestro verdugo seguramente parecerá “locura y
debilidad”. Sin embargo, y tal como nos recuerda
Pablo, Cristo crucificado optó por esta “locura”. La
fe cristiana proclama que Jesús es “la fuerza y la
sabiduría de Dios”.
• En el bautismo o en la renovación de las
promesas bautismales durante la próxima Vigilia
Pascual profesaremos nuestra fe en que “la locura
de Dios es más sabia que la sabiduría [humana]” y
que “la debilidad de Dios es más fuerte que la
fuerza [humana]”. Y aún más, nos
comprometeremos a actuar según la alianza
revelada en los Diez Mandamientos del Sinaí, y
encarnados en la entrega amorosa del sacrificio de
Jesús. Por tanto, debemos de darle buena acogida a
la “limpieza de primavera” en esta Cuaresma,
como la limpieza que Jesús hace en el templo de
nuestra vida a fin de que nuestra alabanza ascienda
hacia Dios y podamos encontrar nosotros, los
agotados hijos e hijas de Dios, una tregua en
nuestras luchas. Sabiendo cuánta limpieza hay que
hacer para que eso suceda, cuán consolador es que
Jesús, según nos recuerda el Evangelio de hoy, “no
necesitaba que nadie le descubriera lo que es el
hombre”, sino que nos invita al discipulado y nos
ama incondicionalmente, porque “él sabía” lo que
hay en nuestra condición humana.
Pregunta de la Semana
¿Qué es lo que Jesús tiene que “echar” del templo
de mi alma, qué “mesas debe volcar” para
transformar mi corazón de ser un “mercado” y
convertirlo en “la casa de [su] Padre”?
