CATHOLIC CONVERSATIONS ON THE SCRIPTURES Archdiocese of Miami - Ministry of Christian Formation June 19, 2016

Gospel reading

12th Sunday in Ordinary Time [Cycle C]

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 9:18-24 [To be read aloud]

Once when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.’” Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said in reply, “The Christ of God.” He rebuked them and directed them not to tell this to anyone. He said, “The son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.” Then he said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”

Brief commentary: This passage signals the beginning of the long journey to Jerusalem. Jesus poses the question that had puzzled everyone since the beginning of his public ministry: “Who do people say that I am?” The disciples reported the opinions they had heard: “John, Elijah, the prophet.” Jesus then confronts them with the ultimate question: “But who do you say that I am?” Peter responds: “the Christ* of God.” Obviously, this is the right answer, yet, Jesus instructs them not to tell anyone. This insistence in keeping his identity undisclosed has been named by Scripture scholars as the “Messianic Secret.” Jesus does not want his messianic identity to be revealed until the disciples fully understand its true meaning. Most Jews were expecting a powerful Messiah, one who would destroy the Roman yoke and restore the rule to Israel. Jesus presents a different kind of Messiah, one who has to suffer before he is glorified; a Messiah whose victory is not in military conquests, but in his self-emptying in total obedience to God. *Anointed, messiah.

Today’s reading offers three significant messages: * *

*

The disciples of Jesus must be ready to follow in his steps, taking up their cross daily. When we claim to believe that Jesus is the Christ we must also be aware of what that implies. There is no resurrection without suffering and there is no suffering without the promise of resurrection. We are challenged to give up old ways of thinking and being and to open ourselves to the vulnerability of discipleship.

For our shared or personal reflection: After a brief pause for silent reflection share your answers, ideas or feelings.

1.For Luke, the cross is the normal condition of the life of the Christian. What is the cross that life gives you and that Jesus invites you to take up before following him? 2.Who is Jesus for you personally and honestly? Suggested readings: Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraphs 436-440; 618; 712-713.

REFLEXIONES CATOLICAS SOBRE LA BIBLIA Arquidiócesis de Miami - Ministerio de formación cristiana 19 de junio de 2016

12o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario [Ciclo C]

Lectura del Evangelio según San Lucas 9:18-24 [Léase en voz alta] Un día Jesús se había ido a un lugar apartado para orar, y estaban sus discípulos con él. Les hizo esta pregunta: “La gente, quién dice que soy yo?” Ellos contestaron: “Unos dicen que eres Juan Bautista; otros, Elías, y otros, que eres alguno de los profetas antiguos que ha resucitado”. Entonces les preguntó: “Y ustedes, quién dicen que soy yo?” Y Pedro respondió: “Que tú eres el Cristo de Dios”. Jesús les prohibió estrictamente que se lo dijeran a nadie. “Porque - les decía - el Hijo del Hombre tiene que sufrir mucho y ser rechazado por las autoridades judías, por los jefes de los sacerdotes y por los maestros de la Ley. Le quitarán la vida y al tercer día resucitará”. Después Jesús dijo a toda la gente: “Si alguno quiere seguirme, que se niegue a sí mismo, que cargue con su cruz de cada día y que me siga. En efecto, el que quiera asegurar su vida la perderá, pero el que pierde su vida por causa mía, la asegurará”.

Comentario breve: Este relato señala el principio de la larga jornada de Jesús hacia Jerusalén y hacia su crucifixión. Jesús hace una especie de sondeo de opinión con la pregunta que ha tenido a todos confundidos desde el principio de su ministerio: “¿Quién dice la gente que soy yo?” Los discípulos reportan lo que han oído de otros: “Juan el Bautista, Elías, un profeta”. El Señor entonces los confronta con la gran pregunta: “Y ustedes, ¿quién dicen que soy yo?” Pedro responde con exactitud: “el Mesías* de Dios”. Aunque Jesús acepta ser el Mesías, les exige a los discípulos que lo mantengan en secreto. Este “secreto mesiánico”, como es llamado entre los expertos, nos enseña que la idea de Mesías prevalente en aquella época era la de un guerrero que destruiría el yugo de los romanos y establecería de nuevo el reino de Israel. La misión de Jesús es muy diferente; habla de un mesías que tiene que sufrir para poder ser glorificado y cuya victoria no se encuentra en los campos militares, sino en el abandono total a Dios y al plan divino de salvación. Hasta que sus seguidores no entiendan el verdadero significado de su identidad, no deben proclamarlo como Mesías.

*Ungido, Cristo.

La lectura de hoy nos presenta tres ideas importantes: Jesús invita --no obliga-- a sus seguidores a cargar la cruz cada día y seguirle. Cuando proclamamos nuestra fe en Jesucristo como Mesías tenemos que aceptar lo que esto conlleva. No hay resurrección sin sufrimiento y no hay sufrimiento sin la promesa de la resurrección. La conversión exige que cambiemos algunas de nuestras maneras de ser y pensar del pasado.

Para la reflexión personal o comunitaria: Después de una pausa breve para reflexionar en silencio, comparta con otros sus ideas o sentimientos. 1.

Para Lucas la cruz es la condición de la vida cristiana; por eso aclara que se tiene que cargar cada día. ¿Cuál es la cruz que la vida te da y que Jesús te invita a cargar y seguirlo?

2.

¿Quién es Jesús para tí personalmente? Asegúrate que tu respuesta es honesta y no basada en lo que otros dicen sobre El.
