Theological Reflections by Paul Chutikorn - Director of Faith Formation
“Happiness from the Beatitudes: Blessed Are Those Who Mourn”
Last week, we talked about the meaning of being “poor in spirit” as being detached from wealth or any type of material objects. This week, we now turn to what it means to say, “Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.” I often like to substitute the word “blessed” with the word “happy” since that is, after all, what it means. When we read it that way, it reads: “Happy are those who are sad.” Striking isn’t it? How can we be happy and sad at the same time? Well, just like the previous beatitude of being poor in spirit, Christ is not asking us to be completely destitute. Rather, he asks us to not be inordinately attached to material wealth, but to instead be attached to God. Likewise, here, Christ does not mean that we should always be mourning and crying in order to be happy. This is, of course, counterintuitive. Instead, he means to say that happy are those who are not inordinately attached to pleasure.
Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. This comfort applies, to some degree, to both this life and the next. The comfort that we get from refusing to be attached to earthly pleasures comfortable insofar as we are at peace. If we follow this beatitude, we would not allow ourselves to become so out-of-control that we base our actions on the pleasure we get from them. In other words, we cannot become the people who must do whatever feels good for them in order to be content. The virtue of temperance is needed in order to realize that our self-control over the pleasures of the world brings happiness inasmuch as we would not become addicted to always feeling good. So, if we abstain from some pleasure that is not objectively good for us, then we will be comforted in the long run. It is wise to not always be concerned with the particular goods of the here and now, but with true universal goods. As always, there is the aspect of being comforted in heaven because if we suffer on earth, we will be rewarded in heaven. We are all called to take up our crosses and follow Him. Does this mean we should actively look for ways to suffer? No! It means that we should approach our sufferings as ways to purify our hearts in order to make it so that our every desire is directed toward that which is goodness itself – namely God.
A perfect example of this is to look to the foot of the cross. Christ himself completely detached himself from the love of pleasure by the extreme pain and suffering that he willfully endured on the cross. He did not go actively looking to be crucified, but he accepted it for the greater good – to fight against evil. He did it and he came out victorious. We too will come out victorious when we resist evil, avoid the near occasions of sin and the temptation to commit acts that are evil simply because they fulfill the desires of the flesh. When we do mourn over loss or some pain in our lives, just remember that blessed be those who will offer this pain and suffering up to God and think of it as a share in the sufferings of Christ that will ultimately lead us to greater purity and utter dependence on God who alone brings true happiness.

Reflexiones Teológicas de Paul Chutikorn - Director de la Formación De Fe
“Felicidad de las Bienaventuranzas: Bienaventurados los que Lloran”
La semana pasada, hablamos sobre el significado de ser "pobre en espíritu" como estar separado de la riqueza o de cualquier tipo de objetos materiales. Esta semana, ahora pasamos a lo que significa decir: “Bienaventurados los que lloran porque serán consolados”. A menudo me gusta sustituir la palabra “bendecido” con la palabra “feliz”, ya que eso es, después de todo, lo que significa. Cuando lo leemos de esa manera, se lee: "Felices son los que están tristes". ¿Golpear no es así? ¿Cómo podemos estar felices y tristes al mismo tiempo? Bueno, al igual que la anterior beatitud de ser pobre de espíritu, Cristo no nos está pidiendo que estemos completamente destituidos. Más bien, nos pide que no nos encariñamos excesivamente con la riqueza material, sino que estemos contentos con Dios. De la misma manera, aquí, Cristo no quiere decir que siempre debemos estar llorando y llorando para ser felices. Esto es, por supuesto, contra intuitivo. En cambio, quiere decir que felices son aquellos que no están excesivamente encariñados con placer.
Bienaventurados los que lloran porque ellos serán consolados. Este consuelo se aplica, hasta cierto punto, tanto a esta vida como a la siguiente. El consuelo que obtenemos al rehusar estar encariñado los placeres terrenales es cómodo en la medida en que estamos en paz. Si seguimos esta bienaventuranza, no nos permitiremos estar tan fuera de control que basemos nuestras acciones en el placer que obtenemos de ellas. En otras palabras, no podemos convertirnos en las personas que deben hacer lo que sea mejor para ellos para estar contentos. Se necesita la virtud de la templanza para darnos cuenta de que nuestro autocontrol sobre los placeres del mundo nos brinda felicidad en la medida en que no nos volveremos adictos a sentirnos siempre bien. Entonces, si nos abstenemos de un placer que no es objetivamente bueno para nosotros, entonces seremos consolados a largo plazo. Es sabio no estar siempre preocupado por los bienes particulares del aquí y ahora, sino por los bienes universales verdaderos. Como siempre, existe el aspecto de ser consolado en el cielo porque si sufrimos en la tierra, seremos recompensados en el cielo. Todos estamos llamados a tomar nuestras cruces y seguirlo. ¿Quiere esto decir que debemos buscar activamente formas de sufrir? ¡No! Significa que debemos acercarnos a nuestros sufrimientos como formas de purificar nuestros corazones para que todos nuestros deseos se dirijan hacia aquello que es la bondad en sí mismo, es decir, Dios.
Un ejemplo perfecto de esto es mirar al base de la cruz. El mismo Cristo se separó completamente del amor al placer por el dolor y el sufrimiento extremos que él soportó voluntariamente en la cruz. Él no fue activamente buscando ser crucificado, pero lo aceptó por el bien mayor: luchar contra el mal. Lo hizo y salió victorioso. Nosotros también saldremos victoriosos cuando resistamos el mal, evitamos las ocasiones cercanas del pecado y la tentación de cometer actos que son malos simplemente porque satisfacen los deseos de la carne. Cuando nos lamentemos por la pérdida o algo de dolor en nuestras vidas, solo recuerde que benditos sean aquellos que ofrecerán este dolor y sufrimiento a Dios y lo considerarán como una participación en los sufrimientos de Cristo que en última instancia nos llevará a una mayor pureza y Dependencia absoluta de Dios que solo trae verdadera felicidad.
