God’s Faithfulness

The witness of Scripture is unanimous that the solicitude of divine providence is concrete and immediate; God cares for all, from the least things to the great events of the world and its history. The sacred books powerfully affirm God’s absolute sovereignty over the course of events: “Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he pleases.” And so it is with Christ, “who opens and no one shall shut, who shuts and no one opens.” As the book of Proverbs states: “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established” (Catechism of the Catholic Church #303).

Elijah, one of the great prophets of the Old Testament, listens to the word of the Lord. He listens and acts. God will work mightily through this prophet to bring correction to the wicked king Ahab who has turned away from true worship. This is bad for the entire nation of Israel, causing desecration of the holy places. The word of the Lord comes to Elijah, and when this word comes, as it does in I Kings 17:1-5, Elijah is given step-by-step instructions: he is told to go and hide by the brook Cherith near the Jordan River, where he will be fed by ravens. As the brook dries up, Elijah is instructed to go to Zarephath. There, he will encounter the widow whom God has chosen to sustain Elijah.

Perhaps we are moved with pity for the poor widow of Zarephath, who, with her son, is prepared to die of hunger. She is resigned to the apparent present reality: there is no food, no rain in the land. Elijah asks her for a little bit of bread: "Please bring along a bit of bread." The widow acknowledges she does not even have enough to cook a meal. Elijah then clarifies the request: be not afraid. Trust, act with faith. The widow trusts Elijah and God's provision. In this encounter, the divine will of God is revealed as good, provident and a truly human experience. The widow, her son, and Elijah are sustained throughout the famine. In this moment, faith comes alive in the encounter between Elijah and the widow. Indeed, her faith in God's word goes beyond simply believing to action.

Elijah is one of the bridges of the Old Covenant to the New. He is there at the Transfiguration along with Moses on Mount Tabor. Ancient among the prophets, he becomes a powerful figure in how the Lord of the Covenant, Almighty God, fulfills his good and perfect will through very ordinary human beings. A starving widow and her son; a widow who should have been cared for by the scribes and Pharisees and was not, yet still gave her last two coins in faith to God in the temple in Mark 12.

Are we willing to trust God's will, that it is a good and perfect will? Do we believe that he works all things out to the good of those who love Him? Or do we become paralyzed by our fear and unbelief? Often the most helpless among us become the greatest examples and inspirations to our faith. Let us look with amazement at the examples of the faithful widows in Sacred Scripture, who become icons of God's fidelity to His covenant love. Fr. Tim

La Fidelidad de Dios

El testimonio de las Escrituras es unánime en referencia a la solicitud de la divina providencia que es concreta e inmediata; Dios se preocupa por todos, desde las cosas más pequeñas hasta los eventos más grandes del mundo y su historia. Los libros sagrados poderosamente afirman la absoluta soberanía de Dios en el curso de los acontecimientos: “Nuestro Dios está en los cielos; él hace lo que le plazca. "Y así sucede con Cristo," quien abre y nadie cierra, quién cierra y nadie abre ". Como dice el libro de Proverbios:" Muchos son los planes en la mente de un hombre, pero es el propósito del Señor que se establecerá ” (Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica # 303).

Elías, que es uno de los grandes profetas del Antiguo Testamento escucha la palabra del Señor. Él escucha y actúa. Dios trabajará poderosamente a través de este profeta para llevar la corrección al malvado rey Acab, quien se ha apartado de la verdadera adoración. Esto que es malo para toda la nación de Israel, pues causa la profanación de los lugares sagrados. La palabra del Señor viene a Elías, y cuando llega esta palabra, como ocurre en 1 Reyes 17: 1-5, a Elías se le dan instrucciones paso a paso: se le dice que vaya y se esconda junto al arroyo Cherith cerca del Río Jordán, donde será alimentado por los cuervos. A medida que el arroyo se seca, se le ordena a Elijah que vaya a Zarephath. Allí, se encontrará con la viuda a quien Dios ha elegido para sostener a Elías.

Quizás nos conmovemos con la compasión de la pobre viuda de Zarephath que, con su hijo, está preparada para morir de hambre. Se resigna a la aparente realidad presente: no hay comida, no hay lluvia en la tierra. Elijah le pide un poco de pan: "Por favor traiga un poco de pan". La viuda reconoce que ni siquiera tiene suficiente para cocinar. Entonces Elías aclara la petición: no temas. Confía, actúa con fe. La viuda confía en Elías y en la provisión de Dios. En este encuentro, la voluntad divina de Dios se revela como buena, providente y como experiencia verdaderamente humana. La viuda, su hijo y Elías son sostenidos durante toda la hambruna. En este momento, la fe cobra vida en el encuentro entre Elías y la viuda. De hecho, su fe en la palabra de Dios va más allá de simplemente creer en la acción.

Elías es uno de los puentes del Antiguo Pacto al Nuevo. Él está allí en la Transfiguración junto con Moisés en el Monte Tabor. Antiguo entre los profetas, se convierte en una figura poderosa como el Señor de la Alianza, Dios Todopoderoso, cumple su buena y perfecta voluntad a través de seres humanos muy comunes. Una viuda hambrienta y su hijo; una viuda que debería haber sido atendida por los escribas y fariseos y que no lo era, y aún así le dio sus últimas dos monedas en fe a Dios en el templo en Marcos 12.

¿Estamos dispuestos a confiar en la voluntad de Dios, que es una buena y perfecta voluntad? ¿Creemos que él hace todo por el bien de los que lo aman? ¿O nos paralizamos por nuestro temor e incredulidad? A menudo, los más desvalidos entre nosotros se convierten en los mejores ejemplos e inspiraciones para nuestra fe. Miremos con asombro los ejemplos de las viudas fieles en la Sagrada Escritura, que se convierten en íconos de la fidelidad de Dios al amor de su pacto.

Le pedimos que no gaste más de $25. 3. Entregue el regalo envuelto al Salón de los Obispos antes del 9 de diciembre, o a la oficina parroquial los lunes a viernes entre las 8:30 a.m. y las 5:00 p.m. No se le olvide de fijar la paja al regalo para poder saber para quién es.
