Third Sunday of Ordinary Time The Gospel of Matthew reveals to us the author’s con-cern to teach us that Jesus fulfills all prophecies of the Old Testament. Jesus walking in the region of Zebuln and Naphtali recalls the prophet Isaiah’s prophecy that a light will shine upon this region. This light is Jesus him-self coming to teach us what the kingdom of heaven re-quires of each of us: the repentance of sin. To receive God in all His love and to enter into heaven requires that we, through the Grace of God, repent and let go of our old and sinful self, and say yes to the man or woman God sees in us. God wants us to be a new person through his grace. We see this newness being given to the first disciples who are called. God calls them to con-tinue being fishers, but only this time fishers of men. God wants that are life be used as the means from which grace and love will be given to others. I pray for the grace of true repentance of sins for each and every one of us.
Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El Evangelio de Mateo nos revela la preocupación del autor por enseñarnos que Jesús cumple todas las profecías del Antiguo Testamento. J esús caminando en la región de Za-bulón y Neftalí recuerda la profecía del profeta Isaías de que una luz brillará sobre esta región. Esta luz es Jesús mísmo que viene a enseñarnos lo que el reino de los cielos requiere de cada uno de nosotros: el arrepentimiento del pecado. Recibir a Dios en todo su amor y entrar al cielo re-quiere que, por la gracia de Dios, nos arrepintamos y aban-donemos nuestro vida pecadora y pecaminosa y que diga-mos sí al hombre o mujer que Dios ve en nosotros. Dios quiere que seamos una nueva persona a través de su gra-cia. Vemos esta novedad siendo dada a los primeros discí-pulos que son llamados. Dios los llama a seguir siendo pes-cadores, pero solo esta vez pescadores de hombres. Dios quiere que se use la vida como el medio por el cual la gracia y el amor se darán a los demás. Rezo por la gracia del ver-dadero arrepentimiento de los pecados para todos y cada uno de nosotros. Juan Aguacate
