Tendremos esta misa el día viernes 22. - El próximo jueves 14 se tendrá nuevamente las clases de bautismo. - Todos están invitados al grupo de oración que se tiene los viernes a las 7pm en la iglesia pequeña de nuestra Parroquia. REFLEXIÓN DOMINICAL En este domingo, el Evangelio, hace referencia al comportamiento que se debe tener frente a la persona que ha pecado, es decir que ha faltado contra su condición de discípulo de Jesús. El evangelista recomienda que un hermano lo reprenda y le recuerde las demandas evangélicas. La finalidad de este llamado de atención es clara: se trata de invitarlo a la conversión, a regresar al camino de los seguidores del Señor. Si esto no ocurriera se debe llamar a otros miembros de la comunidad, esto ayudará a la objetividad y a la firmeza de la actitud aconsejada. La comunidad es responsable de la fidelidad de sus miembros a la voluntad de Dios. La fraternidad lleva a estar atentos ante los errores de otro, nos toca ponerlo en guardia “para que deje su mal camino”, como nos dice el profeta Ezequiel en la primera lectura. Estamos, sin duda, ante un asunto delicado y de difícil manejo. Pero es un vigoroso recuerdo de los requerimientos necesarios para pertenecer auténtica y responsablemente a la Iglesia. Por ejemplo, quienes en el mundo de hoy son cómplices, o incluso autores, de la situación de pobreza y de muerte de tantos y que al mismo tiempo se pretenden llamar cristianos, deben ser invocados al orden por la comunidad de los discípulos de Aquel que proclamó el Reino de vida a todos y en especial a los necesitados y oprimidos. De no hacerlo la comunidad se aleja de lo que pide el Señor y cae en la tibieza y la mediocridad. La corrección debe ser una corrección fraterna. La razón última de esta corrección es la caridad o el amor hacia el prójimo; teniendo presente que la práctica de la caridad, como nos dice san Pablo en la segunda lectura, es “la plenitud de la ley”. Por tanto, es bueno recordar, hoy, que el amor al prójimo nos presenta exigencias que desafían nuestra inercia y nuestro deseo de evitarnos problemas. No tengamos miedo a corregir y a ser corregidos, porque éste es el auténtico medio para hacer la voluntad de Dios y lograr una comunidad de acuerdo a los sentimientos del Señor. Amén.
