Pastor/Párroco It was a normal day by all accounts, but John just wasn’t feeling Fr. Julio Vicente himself. He was a little lightheaded and out of sorts.

“ Reflect that in reality you have a greater “Reflexiona que en realidad tienes una mayor need to serve (the poor) than they have of necesidad de servir (a los pobres) que ellos de your service” tu servicio” St Angela Merici Virgin Santa Angela Merici Virgen Page 6 COMUNIDAD CATOLICA D E SAN EDUARDO TWIN F A L L S , I D . LA ESQUINA DEL PADRE

Creer para cambiar, es el secreto para no destruirnos. Recuerdo, al inicio de la pandemia, que mu- chas personas no creían la magnitud y alcance del virus. Hubo quienes hasta que lo vivieron en carne propia creyeron. Y luego comenzaron a decir: “Yo no creía esto, pero les digo cuídense, no se expongan, guarden la distancia, lávense las manos”. En la primera lectura, los ninivitas no cre- yeron hasta que Jonás predicó que la ciudad sería destruida. Sin embargo, ellos escucharon el men- saje y creyeron en la advertencia del peligro. Ayunaron e hicieron penitencia. ¡Hubo cambio del corazón, hubo conversión! El Evangelio narra que Jesús llama a sus cuatro primeros discípulos, y proclama la Buena Nueva de Dios. Decía: “El tiempo se ha cumplido, el Reino de Dios está cerca. Renuncien a su mal cami- no y crean en la Buena Nueva” (Marcos 1:15). Observemos, que, después del anuncio viene la invitación al seguimiento. La similitud entre las lecturas es muy parecida. Jonás proclama, la gente de la ciudad responde. Jesús, anuncia la Buena Nueva y llama al ministerio a sus discípulos. Lla- mado, conversión, y misión están entrelazados. Lo principal en todo es creer, sin ese detalle del corazón, no puede darse respuesta. Ahora, se sigue proclamando la cercanía de Dios de muchas maneras, los caminos se abren al seguimiento, a darnos la mano unos a otros, a luchar hasta el can- sancio por la salud de los demás. ¿Lo has visto o vivido así? Yo creo que sí. La conversión, sin duda es ablandar el corazón y el compromiso viene del mayor hasta el menor.
