Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma 7 de Marzo del 2021
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Jesucristo como todos los profetas, profesaba el más profundo respeto por el antiguo temple.
Él fue presentado ahí como niño por María y José; él iba seguido ahí para las
festividades/solemnidades. El templo para Él era la casa de Dios, una casa
de oración y la casa de su Padre. Hoy leemos como se enfurece cuando
se había convertido la casa de su Padre en mercado y hace como signo
escatológico la expulsión de los mercaderes y proclama un nuevo temple.
Nosotros somos parte de ese temple, así por consiguiente cada uno de ustedes es el
templo del Espíritu Santo, por lo tanto, tenemos una dignidad dada por Dios. Somos
llamados a ser santos a tener nuestro templo en orden y bello para que el Espíritu
Santo habite. Nuestros pecados ahuyentan al Espíritu Santo. Y más aún podemos
desacrar nuestro templo poniendo Ídolos en el altar de nuestra vida donde solamente
Dios debería de estar. Desacramos este templo poniendo los ídolos del mundo; al amor
al dinero, el éxito, el poder, la vanidad, el placer etc. Debemos recordar que esta escrito: “Yo
soy el Señor, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto y de la esclavitud. No tendrás otros dioses fuera de
mí;”
