Join Father Ken in a Lenten Reflection—7 Last Words

The evening will start in the church, with Charles Stephenson leading a music-filled reflection. A very simple meal of vegetable soup will follow. This is a wonderful opportunity to join in the mystery of Lent. As Jesus hung on the cross, He uttered seven last words of great meaning to those who contemplate His passion and death.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El 11 de febrero de 1858 la Virgen María se apareció a tres niños franceses del pueblito de Lourdes. Allí brotaron aguas milagrosas con el poder de sanar enfermos. Eventualmente se construyó en Lourdes un san-tuario en honor de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes y millones de enfermos han recurrido a las aguas curativas. Muchos de los que visitan el santuario son latinos, porque a los latinos nos encantan los milagros y lo mila-groso. Pero ¿cuál es el afán de ver milagros? ¿Es que no podemos creer sin ellos? ¿Es que necesitamos demos-traciones del poder divino antes de entregarnos a Dios? La Iglesia siempre ha canonizado santos y santas por cuya intercesión se han manifestado milagros, y ha buscado su poder de intercesión. Sin embargo, también ha insistido que es más importante una vida ejemplar, una vida dedicada al bien del prójimo que una vida prodigiosa. Hay que tener mucho cuidado, porque frecuentemente en nuestro afán por ver milagros estrepito-sos en lugares lejanos, cerramos los ojos a ver los milagros de las personas que nos rodean, y que silenciosa-mente ayudan al necesitado.

DISCÍPULOS INCANSABLES Los relatos que hemos oído estas semanas provienen del primer capítulo de san Marcos y nos muestran el minis-terio público de Jesús en sus comienzos. El relato de hoy muestra parte de la tensión y los cambios de su nueva vida que consistía en predicar el Reino de Dios, curar a los en-fermos y expulsar a los demonios. Observa que después del atardecer, cuando caía el sol y terminaba la jornada laboral, las personas llevaban a los enfermos y poseídos a Jesús. Al día siguiente se levantó antes del amanecer para retirarse sólo a rezar, pero no tuvo suerte. Simón Pedro y los demás no solo lo buscan, sino que lo persiguen con el fervor que su ministerio ha incitado. Con la misma entrega ejemplar que demostró hasta el final de su vida en la tierra, les dice a sus seguidores que éste es su propósito. Por me-dio de Marcos, también le dice a la nueva iglesia y nos di-ce a nosotros que éste es nuestro propósito, nuestra voca-ción: ser incansables en nuestra lucha por proclamar la Buena Nueva y llevar el toque curador y reconciliador de Cristo al mundo.
