GOSPEL MEDITATION, June 30, 2019 THIRTEEN SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Have you ever heard that the Gospel is radical? In our times, we hear that word and think of funda- mentalists, radical activists, or extremists - people who go beyond limits to achieve their goals and may not consider themselves bound by normal propriety or morality. Their ethos might not be so different from James and John in today's Gospel. "Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven to con- sume them?" This isn't so foreign to some of the stories of the Old Testament. Yet Jesus rebukes them. He won't be exacting in the way His contemporaries expected. There will be no radical rain down of fire and brimstone. Jesus is radical in another way: the call to discipleship.

"The Son of Man has nowhere to rest His head." "Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and pro- claim the kingdom of God." "No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks back to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God." These can be difficult passages to read. These are not normal things to hear! It can be easy for many of us to avoid the exacting nature of the Gospel, which might not be what we think it is. James and John wanted to set the bar high for others on the outside and to punish those who didn't meet that standard. Jesus sets the bar high for His disciples, those who say they want to fol- low Him. He may be using some hyperbole, but it's only to send a clear message. This is a radical call, one that has a cost. To truly put God and others first, before ourselves, will involve sacrifice. How is Je- sus asking you to be radical today?

MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO: 30 de junio de 2019

En la Liturgia de este domingo, escuchamos que hay dos invitaciones para seguir a Jesús. Es decir, que encon- tramos dos escenas de vocación. En la Primera Lectura es la invitación al profeta Eliseo, discípulo de Elías. Elis- eo abraza la invitación con agrado. En el Evangelio, se narra que alguien le dijo: "Maestro, te seguiré adon- dequiera que vayas". (Lucas 9:57). La respuesta de Jesús es fuerte y advierte que no tiene ni donde recostar su cabeza. Luego invita a otro y a otro, pero la respuesta es la misma. Tienen muchas cosas que hacer. No hay tiempo de seguirle. Parece que el Reino de Dios, no es de sus prioridades. Siempre hay muchos peros: debo primero enterrar a mis difuntos, despedir a la familia, consolidar lo económico, terminar los estudios y en fin tanta cosa.

Buscar el Reino de Dios implica seguir a Jesús en todo lo que hacemos, y esto no es un camino fácil. Sobre to- do, en estos tiempos tan agitados y llenos de incertidumbre, donde existe el engaño y la mentira. El Evangelio, es tiempo presente e invita a tener las manos y el corazón libres para poder anunciar siempre la Buena Nueva. Por eso, San Pablo da un buen consejo dice que: "Hay que dejarse guiar por el Espíritu Santo". Es el que nos da la libertad y nos libera de la esclavitud, de la flojera y la apatía por el Reino. Recordemos, que, el Reino es el mayor tesoro donde poner el corazón. ¿Qué estás dispuesto a hacer por el Reino de Dios actualmente? ¿Dónde vez el Reino de Dios latente en tu parroquia?
