Perhaps. But Malachi explains that only dark, sunless days are in store for those who do not find a place for God in their lives. Conversely, he tells us that the warmth and light of God’s healing justice await those who fear the Lord. That’s a pretty comforting notion—especially now in the already short and growing even shorter days of November. It’s the sun-warmed stone, and then some. Paul speaks to us of justice as well, but points out that it is not a passive thing. To be treated justly, we need to do our fair share. If we are diligent and Please pray for the sick: persevere we will be rewarded with and by the fruits of our labor.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia

Al ir concluyendo este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, los primeros discípulos de Jesús preguntan lo que en cada época parece preguntarse acerca del fin del mundo: “Maestro, ¿cuándo va a ser eso?” (Lucas 21:7). Pero en lugar de lo que nos gustaría saber, Jesús nos dice lo que necesita- mos conocer. No se preocupen por desastres naturales, la violencia de las personas, el sufrimiento humano. Debido a la abundante misericordia de Dios, todo es gracia. “Esto les servirá para dar testimonio de mí” (21:13). El profeta Malaquías promete que “brillará el sol de justicia, que les traerá la salvación en sus rayos” (Malaquías 3:20a) y, Jesús describe cómo debe- mos recibir el fin “Levántense, alcen la cabeza; se acerca su libera- ción” (21:28). En lugar de estarnos preocupando por nosotros mismos y los riesgos del futuro, tanto el Evangelio de Jesús como el Año Jubilar de la Misericordia convocado por el Papa Francisco nos invitan a avanzar pa- sando nuestra vida proclamando la promesa de la abundante misericordia de Dios e interpretándola en obras vivas de compasión inagotable y conso- lación renovada.
