MASS INTENTIONS Our Christian vocation requires us to renounce the social ties that the world promotes. Today’s readings teach that God’s wisdom leads us on counter– cultural paths. In the second reading, Paul writes his friend Philemon from prison, asking to forgive his slave Onesimus, who had escaped from Philemon’s household. Onesimus ended up in the same jail with Paul for committing robbery, had an encounter with Christ, and asked Paul to be baptized. In justice, Paul demands that Onesimus return to his master, Philemon, but he also requires Philemon to break their master-slave relationship and accept Onesimus, now baptized, as a brother. This week, the Gospel helps us to understand how the Lord’s cross enriches and transforms our lives with the glory of God, as a victorious sign that forgiveness always prevails. It is important that all parishioners, especially those ministers in service to the community, reflect on this theme during this Year of Mercy.

************************************* La vocación del cristiano exige la renuncia a las ataduras sociales que la cultura con frecuencia propone para el mundo. Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a reconocer que la sabiduría de Dios nos conduce por sendas diferentes a las que nos presenta la vida social. Por eso, Pablo le pide a Filemón desde la cárcel (segunda lectura), que perdone al que fue su esclavo, Onésimo quien se ha escapado de su casa y a quien Pablo se encontró en la cárcel por haber robado en otro sitio, porque Onésimo encontró a Jesucristo por medio de Pablo y ya es un nuevo cristiano. En justicia, Pablo exige que Onésimo regrese a su amo, Filemón, pero a la vez le exige a Filemón que rompa la relación amo-esclavo para que acepte a Onésimo, bautizado como él, como a un hermano. El Evangelio nos ayuda a comprender este gesto; la cruz del Señor transforma la vida y la enriquece con la gloria de Dios porque es la victoria de la reconciliación que siempre prevalece. ¡Cuán importante es para todos en la asamblea, especialmente para nuestros servidores en la comunidad, que se utilice este tema en la reflexión de la semana durante este Año de la Misericordia!
