Where: Room 108 Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm Cost: Free

If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the Church is his Bride, then the prophets can be seen

as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict the comfort-able and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our cov-

enant relationship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the bless-ings of faithfulness. Their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom

News From The Streets…

Be Someone’s Answer To Prayer! By Mary Martha Primerano The more Ministry we do, the more I realize how loving our God is. Many people living on the streets are believ-ers! They are very open to prayer. They are just broken, hurt, sick, physically and emotionally. Didn’t Jesus himself say that - “It’s not the healthy that need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners.” – Mark 2:17. So if they are believers, then that makes them my brother or sister. Let’s go a little further and say that this indeed is someone’s mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, or uncle. Could it be that someone is praying for them? Our prayer before going out has always been “Father, send us to the ones who need a touch from you today.” Why? Because we have decided to become someone’s answered pray-er. Vincent (not his real name) shared his heart for the first time with us. Normally cheerful and full of joy, but on this day he said he hasn’t been himself lately. He’s not sleeping well and shared how he feels like it’s not his place to be on the streets asking for money. Another group had come by hand-ing out items, and with tears in his eyes he explained how he felt he was being looked down upon. I’m sure that was not their intention, but his rejection was so real that he began crying out loud all the while apologizing to us. Our group consoled him by gathering around and giving him a group hug. We said welcome to the family. We reminded him that Jesus understood exactly where he is at because he faced the greatest rejection of all time that would eventually put him on the cross. Of course we all know that you can’t keep a good man down and Jesus was resurrected on the 3rd. day. Yay! Sometimes all we need is a good cry and a hug to get us through the day. Vincent was so thankful for the time we spent with him. If interested in volun-

teering please contact:

LA NUEVA JUSTICIA

Mt 5,17-37.- En el Evangelio de hoy y en los trozos si-guientes, se contrapone la nueva justicia a la ley judia. Jesucristo en persona es termino y plenitud de la ley y de los profetas. El vino a profundizarlos, a perfeccionarlos y a interpretarlos de un modo nuevo. Todo lo que la ley y los profetas han predicho y prefigurado, ha sido realiza-do por Jesus. Y por eso mismo ha sido consumado. Nos regala asi una nueva comprension y vivencia de la ley y de la justicia. Resulta que la venida de Cristo y, sobre todo, su muerte en la cruz, son una especie de fin del mundo e inaugura-cion de un mundo nuevo. A la muerte de Jesus se reali-zaron los signos del fin del mundo: El sol se oscurecio, la tierra se puso a temblar, las tinieblas cubrieron el univer-so, el principe de este mundo fue arrojado fuera. Por eso tambien el velo del templo se desgarro, para indicar la supresion del antiguo orden mosaico. Un nuevo espiritu. Y la Resurreccion de Cristo ha hecho nacer el mundo nuevo. Desde entonces, ya no estamos bajo la ley judia, sino en un regimen de gracia y de libertad. Jesus es el nuevo Moises, que promulga una nueva ley, una ley es-piritual, una obediencia en espiritu. Es una ley mucho mas exigente que la de los escribas y fariseos. Ya no es solamente el acto lo que queda prohibido, sino los pensamientos malos, el deseo, la colera, la injuria, el culto a Dios separado del amor al projimo. Y Jesus anade ciertos matices que parecen imposibles de practicar. ¿Quien sera capaz de responder a tales exigencias? Hemos de tomar en cuenta de que el Evangelio no es una ley, sino un espiritu. No propone preceptos que hay que cumplir al pie de la letra, sino expresa mas bien una disposicion profunda del corazon. Ciertamente, Jesus quiere que el que escucha su palabra, la ponga en practi-ca. Pero El no es un moralista, no nos impone una nueva ley, sino que describe solamente un conjunto de actitu-des y comportamientos que han de caracterizar a un autentico cristiano. Y esta conducta de un verdadero cristiano es el resulta-do de la presencia y el perdon de Dios concedidos a los hombres, a traves de Jesucristo. Es el resultado de ese

"Dichoso el que camina en la voluntad del Señor"

don de Dios, de la alegria por el perdon recibido, de la admiracion por la presencia del Senor. Despues del encuentro con Jesus, la vida ha de cambiar. Despues de esa conversion, el discipulo ya no es el mis-mo, sino que produce frutos divinos, porque ha sido in-jertado en la vida de Dios. En esta perspectiva, las actitu-des que nos presenta Jesus en el Evangelio de hoy, son ejemplos de lo que la gracia puede suscitar en los cora-zones que se dejan llenar con ella. Entonces, el Evangelio no es un codigo de obligaciones y prohibiciones, que nos dispensa de vivir y de pensar, sino que es algo vital: nos pide una respuesta tan generosa como lo es el don de Dios de donde ha brotado. La vida nueva brota de la gracia de Dios mucho mas que del es-fuerzo del hombre. Y, por eso, es posible a todos: “Lo que es imposible para el hombre, es posible para Dios”. Justicia: Darle a cada uno lo suyo. Si queremos entender, entonces, la nueva justicia que nos trae Cristo, hemos de unirla a insertarla en el amor, y en la caridad. Porque justicia y amor, para un cristiano, no son dos realidades independientes. Se completan y se sostienen mutuamente. La caridad no puede lavarse las manos frente a la justicia. Y la justicia, si no quiere caer en la hipocresia de la legalidad, no puede despreciar el fermento de la caridad. Tal vez conocemos la definicion que suele darse de justi-cia: Darle a cada uno lo suyo. Pero, ¿que significa eso? San Pablo nos ayuda diciendo: “Todas las cosas son vues-tras; vosotros sois de Cristo; y Cristo es de Dios”. ¿No sera esta la verdadera jerarquia de la justicia? Si entonces queremos darle a cada uno lo suyo – y cada uno incluye tambien al pobre – tenemos que restituir lo que Dios ha dado a todos. Pero si no veo en el hombre al hermano, si no le tengo un poco de amor, nunca sere capaz de reconocer lo que tengo que restituirle. Para hacer justicia de una manera justa, hay que pasar mas alla de la ley y mirar en el corazon del hombre que, en el fondo, esta pidiendo dignidad y amistad. La justicia da algo, da algunas cosas, pero el amor se da a si mismo. Entonces, “darle a cada uno lo suyo”, quiere decir para un cristiano: darle a cada uno el amor al que tiene dere-cho. La culminacion de la justicia, para un cristiano, es el amor. Queridos hermanos, esa es la nueva justicia que nos trae Cristo, y que habra de cambiar el mundo. Pongamos tambien cada uno de nosotros nuestro esfuerzo diario, para que el mundo de manana sea mas justo y mas col-mado de amor y caridad. Pongamos asi nuestro pequeno aporte personal, para que nuestro pais reinen la verdad, la justicia y el amor. ¡Que asi sea! En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espiritu Santo. Amen.
