April 4, 2021
Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
Who are you? This question was most assuredly asked
of Jesus on the day of resurrection and it is a question
asked of each of us. Our identities can be described in
so many ways. We can start with our gifts and our
talents, expertise and unique personality expressions.
We can describe things we like and things we prefer to
set aside. As descriptive and captivating as these can
be, none come close to our essence, our real and true
self. While accurate in their own right, the self who lives
and interacts with the world is the self we want others to
see, the one we project. But there is much more to us
just as there is much more to Jesus.

Jesus could describe himself based on all of the same
criteria we use for ourselves. After all, Jesus is totally
human. With all that people witnessed and all that Jesus
knew about his physical human self, his divinity also
shined forth. There was so much more to know about
him. Whereas once Jesus was transfigured on top of a
mountain before his disciples’ eyes, so today he is
transfigured before our eyes as he reveals his
resurrected self as the Christ. Alleluia, Christ is risen! His
glorified presence stands before us showing us that we
are all much more than we see ourselves to be and
show to others. We have a depth, purpose, and essence            Well, we went from Christmas to Valentine’s Day to St.

Within each one of us is a spark of Divine Love where
creature and Creator meet, and we are known uniquely
by the name God whispers to us. It is not the earthly
name that was given to us but the one that flows from
Divine Power and claims us as one who is special and
chosen in God’s eyes. This is the self that will rise one
day with the eternal Christ of God and live eternally as
God provides. This is the self that when free from all
superficial constraints layered upon it in this life can
discover and know freedom in a way never possible
before. This is love lifting us up and transforming us into
who we really are, not who we want or need ourselves to
be. Who are you? A special, unique child of God who has
been fashioned in God’s image, sustained by the power
of God’s love and kept eternally with the Blessed Trinity
in heaven. Get to know this deeper, truer self as it is who
you really are.

                                                                Reflexión de Pascua.
                                                      "Χριστόσ ἀνέστη" - "Christ is Risen!, ¡Cristo a resucitado!.
                                         El saludo con el cual comienzo esta reflexión es “Cristo a Resucitado”, Verdaderamente a
                                         Resucitado y lo ha hecho por nosotros. “Pero el ángel les dijo: «No se alarmen. Ustedes
                                         buscan a Jesús de Nazaret, el que fue crucificado. ¡No está aquí! ¡Ha resucitado! Miren,
                                         aquí es donde pusieron su cuerpo” Mc 16; 16. a la mañana muy temprano habían ido a
                                         buscar a Jesús, pero El ya no estaba. Esto es muy simbólico para mi, ¿por qué tiene que
                                         estar en el lugar de los muertos Aquél que es la Vida?, es cierto Jesús tenía que pasar por
                                         ese lugar solo por nosotros pero no era el lugar de Él, el lugar de Jesús siempre fue la
                                         vida, por eso las mujeres cuando llegan no lo encuentran, todo estaba vacío y el Señor no
                                         estaba. El que no esté es un nuevo comienzo para nosotros: la vida. La muerte no venció.
                                         Ahora la Vida, como primavera, nos abrazaba a todos. Era necesario que Cristo muriera
                                         por nosotros, “porque también Cristo murió por los pecados una sola vez, el justo por los
injustos, para llevarnos a Dios, muerto en la carne pero vivificado en el espíritu” (1 Ped 3; 18); El tenía que morir por nuestros
pecados, una sola vez, para alcanzarnos la vida eterna para todos y en la Resurrección darnos el regalo más lindo de la Historia:
La Vida: “Y por todos murió, para que los que viven, ya no vivan para sí, sino para aquel que murió y resucitó por ellos” (2 Cor 5;
15). Ahora ya nadie vive para Sí. “
El Pregón Pascual nos dice: “Pecado de Adán ciertamente necesario, que fue borrado con la sangre de Cristo, Oh feliz culpa, que
nos mereció tan noble y tan grande Redentor”, esta expresión del Pregón Pascual no pocas veces me golpeó emocionalmente
porque cuando uno piensa en pecado, piensa en lo peor porque es lo que nos aparta del Amor de Dios y nos destruye por dentro
pero cuando entendemos esta frase realmente: “bendita sea la culpa”, que nos mereció tan grande redentor. La pregunta sería,
que hubiera sucedido si no hubiera estado el primer pecado. ¿Hubiéramos conocido hasta el extremo el Amor de Dios?, en el
plan providente de Dios podemos entender como El se da todo, sin reservas, tanto que el primer pecado, el de Adán y Eva no
mostró la ira de Dios sino que su Misericordia. “El Señor es clemente y misericordioso, lento a la cólera y rico en piedad; el Señor
es bueno con todos, es cariñoso con todas sus criaturas”. (Sal 144). ¿Qué loco?, ¿se imaginan siendo infieles a su esposa o
esposo?, ¿Cuál sería la reacción?; ¿se imaginan descubrir la mentira de sus hijos?, ¿Cuál sería la reacción?; ¿se imaginan robar a
su patrón?, ¿Cuál sería la reacción?; ¿se imaginan…..?, ¿cuál sería la reacción?; todos los ejemplos puestos nos muestran que es
hasta imposible poder experimentar la misericordia luego de algo grave. Pero en Dios si lo experimentamos, tenemos un proceso
de amor tan grande que no hay lugar para “ira” en Dios, solo de misericordia y una misericordia que escapa a la medida humana.
Ahora la noche se transforma en Luz, “noche tan dichosa, en la que el cielo se une con la tierra y lo divino con lo humano”, todo
se transforma, renace la primavera de la vida y todo vuelve a la plenitud. La Gracia ahora iluminada desde el símbolo del Cirio
Pascual nos muestra como el mundo vuelve a la luz. Así como la columna de fuego guiaba al pueblo de Israel por el desierto: “Y
Jehová iba delante de ellos de día en una columna de nube para guiarlos por el camino, y de noche en una columna de fuego
para alumbrarles, a fin de que anduviesen de día y de noche”. (Ex. 13; 21), ahora esta luz del Cirio Pascual nos muestra el
camino a la Vida. Esta luz seguirá ardiendo para disipar la oscuridad de la noche que nos abruma y no nos deja. La oscuridad de
las heridas, de la historia, del pecado ahora es iluminada, y con la luz nueva vida nace en cada uno. Hoy renacemos, renacemos
para la Vida, ahora bebemos el agua que da nueva vida, “pero el que beba del agua que yo le daré, no tendrá sed jamás, sino
que el agua que yo le daré se convertirá en él en una fuente de agua que brota para vida eterna” (Jn 4; 14), comemos el pan que
da nueva vida, “este es el pan que descendió del cielo; no como vuestros padres comieron el maná, y murieron; el que come de
este pan, vivirá eternamente” (Jn. 6; 58), y lo más importante es que, Jesús sabiendo que temíamos quedarnos solos no nos deja
solos, nos deja el regalo enorme de la Eucaristía y nos envía su Espíritu. “Ustedes demostrarán que me aman, si cumplen mis
mandamientos. Y yo le pediré a Dios el Padre que les envíe al Espíritu Santo, para que siempre los ayude y siempre esté con
ustedes. Él les enseñará lo que es la verdad” (Jn. 14; 15-17). ¿Se dan cuenta del amor de Dios por nosotros?, no hay ningún
detalle que se escape del amor providencial de Dios por nosotros. ¡no estamos solos!, ¿podemos comprender esto?, a veces creo
que no lo comprendemos porque no vivimos este misterio como parte de nuestra vida en lo cotidiano, no vivimos como hijos de la
luz si no que nos pasamos en tinieblas, pensando en alejarnos más y más de la luz ofrecida por Cristo. Entonces, ¿Qué hare para
cambiar mi forma de vida?, ¿Qué haré para responder al amor de Dios?, ¿qué haré para no despreciar tanto amor por
nosotros?...
