4 MARCH 8, 2015 Reflecting on God s Word All of us wish we could be holy, we say, if only Jesus would come and do to the temple of our faith what he did to the temple of Israel s faith: cast out what doesn t belong, because we don t seem to be able to do it for ourselves, at least not with much effectiveness. We try to pray and find ourselves daydreaming about what to make for supper, about the latest family argument, about the meeting we re going to attend, about where we re going to spend our money. We try to simplify, but we also like our lives the way they are. We like the cut of style, the thick of our lawn, the escape of vacation, the high from shopping or chocolate or daytime soaps or whatever catches our fancy. We wish we would love better, care better, have more compassion or patience, be more generous, but original sin always gets in the way only we don t call it original sin. We say we don t have willpower or the energy. So what are we to do? John s Gospel promises that God will come and drive such stuff from our lives. In fact, the promise is that God will do it whether we wish God to or not, which is probably a good move on God s part simply because most of us are a bit fearful of what God may clear away. Rev. Joseph J. Juknialis Copyright 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. OUR SANCTUARY LIGHT BURNS THIS WEEK IN CHURCH IN MEMORY OF ALL SOULS IN PURGATORY Living God s Word As much as we may want the temples of our lives cleared, we also like much of what takes up our lives. Still, God does come and does clear our temples in unsuspecting ways. Children grow up; friendships melt into memories. What is God asking us to clear away today?

5 Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios Todos nosotros deseamos ser santos o santas y decimos con un suspiro que ojalá Jesús viniera para hacer con el templo de nuestra fe lo mismo que hizo con el templo de Israel: echar afuera todo aquello que no debe estar ahí, ya que no parece que nosotros podamos hacerlo solos, al menos no con mucha efectividad. Tratamos de rezar y nuestra mente divaga hacia lo que vamos a hacer para la cena o hacia la última discusión en la familia, a la reunión que vamos a ir, o cómo vamos a gastar nuestro dinero. Tratamos de simplificar las cosas, pero a la vez queremos que nuestra vida siga como está. Nos gusta el corte de pelo que está de moda, nuestro césped de buena hierba, escaparnos a unas vacaciones, el gusto que nos da ir de compras o comer chocolate o ver las telenovelas o cualquier cosa que se nos antoje. Deseamos mejorar en la manera que amamos o que nos preocupamos por los demás, tener más compasión o paciencia, ser más generosos, pero el pecado original lo obstaculiza todo lo único es que no lo llamamos pecado original. Más bien decimos que nos falta la fuerza de voluntad o la energía. Qué hacer entonces? El Evangelio de Juan promete que Dios vendrá a echar afuera todas esas cosas de nuestra vida. De hecho, la promesa es que Dios lo hará, queramos nosotros que lo haga o no, lo cual es una buena decisión por parte de Dios sencillamente porque a la mayoría de nosotros nos da un poco de medio pensar en lo que Dios va a extirpar de nuestra vida.

Vivamos la Palabra de Dios Por mucho que queramos que el templo de nuestra vida esté limpio, también nos gusta la mayor parte de las cosas que componen nuestra vida. No obstante, Dios viene y ciertamente limpia nuestro templo de maneras insospechables. Los hijos crecen; las amistades se desvanecen y se convierten en recuerdos. Qué nos pide Dios echar afuera hoy?
