From Deacon Bill Warmouth My Brothers and Sisters,
The central theme of today’s readings is the command "Rejoice!" We are to do so mainly by realizing the presence of Jesus in our midst and by receiving him into our lives through our repentance, our renewal of life and our doing of God’s will. Today is called “Gaudete” Sunday because today’s Mass begins with the opening antiphon, “Gaudete in Domino semper” (“Rejoice in the Lord always”). Today we light the rose candle of the Advent wreath, and the priest may wear rose vestments, to express our communal joy in the coming of Jesus as our Savior.
This week's Gospel Reading continues our Advent reflection on the person and message of John the Baptist. Last week we heard John speak about his relationship to the coming Messiah, Jesus. This week, we hear Jesus' message to John the Baptist, now in prison, about the signs of the kingdom found in Jesus' ministry and Jesus' assessment of John's role in the Kingdom of God.
The Gospel of Matthew tells the story of John's arrest in chapter 14:3-12. In today's Gospel, John sends word to Jesus from prison, asking if Jesus is the Messiah for whom he has been waiting. Jesus responds by pointing to the miracles that he has worked and invites John and the other hearers to make their own determination. In his next breath, however, Jesus praises John for his role in preparing the way for Jesus. Then Jesus says that all of those who work for the Kingdom of God will be as great as John and even greater.
Jesus' message to John about the signs of the kingdom being performed recalls the salvation described by the prophet Isaiah. This passage is a reminder that the beginning of salvation is already mysteriously present to us, but also yet to be fulfilled. Salvation is already in our midst as manifest in the miraculous deeds of Jesus and in the Church. But salvation is also to be fulfilled in the coming reign of God. Even as we observe our world today, we can find glimpses of God's work among us. Even more, we help to prepare the way for God's kingdom by our words and our deeds. This message is indeed a cause for rejoicing.
Peace,
Deacon Bill
Mis hermanos y hermanas, El tema central de las lecturas de hoy es el comando
"¡Alégrate!" Debemos alegrarnos principalmente al darnos cuenta de la presencia de Jesús en nuestro
medio y al recibirlo en nuestras vidas a través de nuestro arrepentimiento, nuestra renovación de la vida
y nuestra voluntad de Dios. Hoy se llama domingo "Gaudete" porque la misa de hoy
comienza con la antífona de apertura, "Gaudete in Domino sempre" ("Regocíjate en el Señor siempre").
Hoy encendemos la vela rosada de la corona de Adviento, y el sacerdote puede usar vestimentas rosas, para expresar nuestra alegría comunitaria en la venida
de Jesús como nuestro Salvador. La lectura del Evangelio de esta semana continúa
nuestra reflexión de Adviento sobre la persona y el mensaje de Juan el Bautista. La semana
pasada escuchamos a John hablar sobre su relación con el Mesías venidero, Jesús. Esta
semana, escuchamos el mensaje de Jesús a Juan el Bautista, ahora en prisión, acerca de
las señales del reino que se encuentran en el ministerio de Jesús y la evaluación de
Jesús del papel de Juan en el Reino de Dios. El Evangelio de Mateo cuenta la historia del
arresto de Juan en el capítulo 14: 3-12. En el Evangelio de hoy, Juan le envía un mensaje a Jesús desde la
prisión, preguntándole si Jesús es el Mesías a quien ha estado esperando. Jesús responde señalando los
milagros que ha realizado e invita a John y a los demás oyentes a tomar su propia determinación. Sin embargo, en su próximo aliento, Jesús alaba a Juan por su papel
en la preparación del camino para Jesús. Entonces Jesús dice que todos los que trabajan para el Reino de Dios serán tan grandes como Juan e incluso mayores.
El mensaje de Jesús a Juan sobre las señales del reino que se está realizando recuerda la salvación descrita
por el profeta Isaías. Este pasaje es un recordatorio de que el comienzo de la salvación ya está
misteriosamente presente para nosotros, pero también debe cumplirse. La salvación ya está en medio de
nosotros como se manifiesta en las obras milagrosas de Jesús y en la Iglesia. Pero la salvación también se
cumplirá en el reinado venidero de Dios. Incluso mientras observamos nuestro mundo hoy, podemos
encontrar vislumbres de la obra de Dios entre nosotros. Aún más, ayudamos a preparar el camino para el reino de Dios con nuestras palabras y nuestros hechos. Este
mensaje es de hecho motivo de alegría. Paz,
Diácono Bill
