3 Sunday -A - “Light has shone”

Today's Gospel reading says: “The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” What message does Jesus want to convey to me through these words?

Psychologists say that more than eighty percent of people have a “big-city mentality.” What does this mean? Having a big-city mentality means noise, haste, anonymity, isolation, and insensitivity. Today, for you and for me, for all those who live with this big-city mentality, God says: “To those living in the land of darkness, a light has shone.”

Why do we need this light?

1. Because we are losing the balance between the material and the spiritual. We are tempted to accumulate, to have more and more. You need a better car, phone, clothes, shoes. An excessive desire for success, greed for possessions, and the pursuit of applause generate frustration, dissatisfaction, bitterness, and darkness. Tibetan wisdom says, "Instead of cursing the darkness, why not try lighting a candle?”

2. We work too much and worry too much. We waste too much time on unimportant things. We don't have time for reflection or prayer. Our ambitions and expectations are too high. As a result, psychologists say, we have a “feeling unwell in civilization." You're tired, you get nervous, explosive, like a cocked grenade. The Bible says: "a light has shone upon us." Why? To put us in order, to calm us down, to renew your enthusiasm as you drag this caravan of powerless and weary values. Faith is not a light that dispels all darkness, but a lamp that guides our steps in the night, and that is enough to keep going.

3. Because we are held captive in a net. We are trapped in a web of arrangements, obligations, and entanglements. We are like the fish in today's Gospel: caught in the net of taxes, cell phones, online games, shopping, toxic emotions, childhood wounds, debts, and ultimately, the net of sin. Entangled in the net of powerlessness and daily mistakes, we are prone to despair, addictions, and depression. Who will make us free and happy again? Today, for you, for me, "for the inhabitants of the land of darkness," the light has shone.

Dear ones,

It's true what the psychologists say: we live within the mindset of the big city; haste, chaos, indifference, confusion, alienation, monotony, and exhaustion.

That's why you need this light: to guide you,

that's why you need this faith: to nourish you,

that's why you need this love: to transform you.

"For those living in the land of darkness, a light has shone.”

3 Domingo - A - Brilló la luz.

La palabra del Evangelio de hoy dice: ”El pueblo que habitaba en tinieblas vio una luz grande; a los que habitaban en sombras de muerte, una luz les brilló».¿Qué mensaje quiere transmitirme Jesús usando estas palabras?

Los psicólogos afirman que más del ochenta por ciento de las personas tienen “una mentalidad de gran ciudad”. ¿Qué significa esto? Tener la mentalidad de una gran ciudad significa: ruido, prisa, anonimato, aislamiento e insensibilidad. Hoy, para ti y para mí, para todos los habitantes de la mentalidad de la gran ciudad, Dios dice: "A los habitantes de la tierra de las tinieblas, la luz resplandeció".

¿Por qué necesitamos esta luz

1. Porque perdemos el equilibrio entre lo material y lo espiritual. Tenemos la tentación de acumular, tener mas y mas. Necesitas un mejor modelo de coche, teléfono, ropa, zapatos. Excesivo deseo de éxito, codicia por las posesiones, búsqueda de aplausos generan frustración, insatisfacción, amargura, tinieblas. La sabiduría tibetana dice: "En lugar de maldecir la oscuridad, ¿por qué no intentas encender una vela?"

Por que necesitamos esta luz?

2. Trabajamos demasiado y nos preocupamos demasiado. Perdemos demasiado tiempo en cosas sin importancia. No tenemos tiempo para la reflexión, la oración. Nuestras ambiciones y expectativas son demasiado altas. Como resultado, los psicólogos dicen, que tenemos un "mal sentido en la civilización". Estás cansada, te pones nerviosa, explosiva, como una granada amartillada. La Biblia dice: "una luz ha brillado sobre nosotros"¿Por qué?, para ponernos en orden, para calmarnos, para renovar tu entusiasmo mientras arrastras esta caravana impotentes y cansados valores. La fe no es una luz que resuelve toda oscuridad, sino una lámpara que guía nuestros pasos en la noche, y eso es suficiente para seguir adelante.

Por que necesitamos esta luz?

3. Porque estamos cautivos en una red. Estamos atrapados en la red de arreglos, obligaciones, implicados. Somos como los peces del evangelio de hoy: enredados en la red de los impuestos, la telefonía móvil, los juegos en línea, las compras, las emociones tóxicas, las heridas de la infancia, las deudas y, finalmente, la red de los pecados. Enredados en la red de la impotencia y los errores cotidianos , se inclinan hacia la desesperación, las adicciones y la depresión. ¿Quién nos hará de nuevo personas libres y felices? Hoy, para ti, para mí, "para los habitantes de la tierra de las tinieblas", brilló la luz.

Queridos, Es verdad lo, que dicen los psicólogos: vivimos dentro de la mentalidad de la gran ciudad; prisa, caos, indiferencia, confusión, alienación, monotonía y agotamiento. Por eso, necesitas esta luz: para guiarte, por eso, necesitas esta fe: para alimentarte, por eso, necesitas este amor: para cambiarte. "Para los habitantes de la tierra de las tinieblas, la luz ha resplandecido”. AmenFebruary 2nd - Solemnity - Presentation of our Lord - Blessing of Candles

The Presentation of Our Lord, celebrated on February 2nd (40 days after Christmas), commemorates Mary and Joseph bringing the infant Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem to fulfill Jewish law for the firstborn son, where they met the aged Simeon and Anna, who recognized Jesus as the Messiah and Redeemer. Also called Candlemas, this feast marks the moment Jesus, the "Light of the World," entered the temple of humanity, signifying the transition from the Old Covenant to the New, and involves the blessing and use of candles.
