A NEW DAY DAWNS
      Today we hear how Jonah, sent by God to warn the
 people, storms through the streets of Nineveh, scaring the
 citizens out of their wits. And it works! God has a change
 of heart, seeing “by their actions” how the people turn from
 evil (Jonah 3:10). A new day dawns.
      Next we hear Paul telling the Corinthians, “The world
 in its present form is passing away” (1 Corinthians 7:31).
 He calls for a change of heart. Stopping short of telling
 them to stop carrying out their everyday activities, he urges
 them—rather mysteriously—to live “as though” they aren’t
 doing the things they are doing. A new day has dawned.
      Finally, Jesus stands on the shore and cries, “The king-
 dom of God is at hand!” (Mark 1:14). Simon and Andrew
 abandon their nets—and even their father—and follow him.
 A new day had dawned.
      Everyone has to change when a new day dawns: the
 Ninevites, the Corinthians, the apostles, even Jesus! Didn’t
 a new day dawn today for us as well?

 UN NUEVO AMANECER
    Hoy escuchamos la manera en que Jonás, enviado por
Dios para advertir a la gente, pasa como un torbellino por
las calles de Nínive, asustando a los ciudadanos hasta el
pánico. ¡Y funciona! Dios tiene un cambio de corazón, al
ver “sus obras” como la gente se aparta del mal (Jonás
3:10). Un nuevo amanecer.
    Luego escuchamos a Pablo decir a los corintios: “Este
mundo que vemos es pasajero” (1 Corintios 7:31). Pide un
cambio de corazón. Sin llegar a decir que no hagan sus acti-
vidades diarias, les insta, misteriosamente, a vivir “como
si” no están haciendo las cosas que están haciendo. Es un
nuevo amanecer.
    Finalmente, Jesús se encuentra en la orilla y clama: “El
Reino de Dios ya está cerca” (Marcos 1:14). Simón y An-
drés abandonan sus redes –e incluso a su padre– y lo si-
guen. Es un nuevo amanecer.
    Todo el mundo tiene que cambiar cuando amanece un
nuevo día: los ninivitas, los corintios, los apóstoles, ¡hasta
Jesús! ¿No es hoy un nuevo amanecer para nosotros tam-
bién?
