Midnight Musings / Pensamientos de Media Noche God’s Love Conquers Death

It all happened so quickly. A routine Flight 9268 on its way from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg early Saturday dropped off radar about 23 minutes into the flight. Was a midair heat flash that a U.S. satellite detected over the Sinai Peninsula, when the flight went down, a sign of an explosion aboard the plane? At the time of this writing, Tuesday evening, many questions remained. What about those 224 souls whose routine flight led to tragedy? An ordinary day turned into a disaster. What happened? So much of life makes no sense, especially in the face of such a tragedy. I watched the memorial growing as people left flowers and candles at the St. Petersburg airport. So many of them left flowers or a candle and then make the sign of the cross. That gesture of faith in the face of senseless tragedy makes a powerful statement: God is ultimately in charge, and we trust God with our lives. We just finished the celebrations of All Saints and All Souls. Both celebrations proclaim the love of God that embraces us both in life and in death. So different from the culture that speaks of death as a frightening and dangerous reality! How many movies and television shows make the dead look threatening! We have an abundance of vampires, zombies, and the walking dead to scare us and threaten us. How different is the gospel of Jesus! The gospel begins with the love of God. God embraces us in love in this life and never lets go of us. “The souls of the just are in the hands of God” (Wisdom 3:1) God hold us through death. The negative dimension of Halloween sees the dead in scary place and they want to come back to hurt us. What a difference in Christianity! The dead are not in a scary play but with God. They do not want to hurt us, but they pray for us. I have done hundreds (maybe thousands?) of funerals over the forty-three years of my ordained ministry. But I also had to do the funerals of two grandmothers and both of my parents. I preached what I wanted to believe in and I believed what I preached. My grandmother died while I was studying at Loyola in New Orleans in 1977. She had sent me a letter that I read after she died. “I miss you. See your soon. Love, Grandma.” She will see me soon. I have no idea how much longer I will live in this world. But compared to eternity, I will see her soon. Love and faith join us to those who have gone before us and give us hope for our ultimate future. Yours in Christ,

El Amor de Dios Conquista la Muerte

Todo sucedió tan rápido. El vuelo rutinario 9268 en ruta de Egipto a San Petesburgo desapareció del radar temprano en la mañana del sábado, con sólo 23 minutos de vuelo. Un satelite de Estados Unidos detectó un destello de luz en mitad del vuelo sobre el desierto de la Península de Sinaí, cuando el avión cayó, ¿signo de una exploción abordo del avión? En el momento en que escribo, martes en la noche, hay muchas preguntas sin respuestas. ¿Qué pasa con las 224 almas que el vuelo rutinario les llevó a la tragedia? Un día corriente que terminó en desastre. ¿Qué pasó? Tantas cosas en la vida que no tienen sentido, especialmente ante tal tragedia. He visto como el memorial va creciendo, como la gente va dejando flores y velas en el Aeropuerto de San Petesburgo. Muchos dejan flores o una vela y luego se persignan. Ese gesto de fe ante una tragedia sin sentido denota una manifestación muy poderosa: Finalmente Dios está en control, y nosotros confiamos nuestras vidas en Dios. Acabamos de celebrar las Fiestas de Todos los Santos y Fieles Difuntos. Ambas celebraciones proclaman el amor de Dios que nos arropa tanto en la vida como en la muerte. Muy diferente a la cultura que habla de la muerte como una realidad atemorizante y peligrosa. Cuantas películas y espectáculos de televisión presentan la muerte como temerosa. Tenemos una abundancia de vampiros, zombis y muertos caminantes que nos asustan y nos amenazan. ¡Cuan diferente al Evangelio de Jesús! El evangelio comienza con el amor de Dios. Dios nos abraza amorosamente en esta vida y nunca nos deja. “La vida de los justos está en manos de Dios y no los tocará el tormento” (Sabiduria 3:1). Dios nos sostiene durante la muerte. La negativa dimensión de ‘Halloween’ ve la muerte en lugares medrosos y que luego viene a hacernos daño. ¡Que diferencia en el Cristianismo! La muerte no está en lugares medrosos sino con Dios. No quiere hacernos daño, sino orar por nosotros. Durante mis cuarenta y tres años como sacerdote, he realizado cientos (quizás miles) de funerales. También hice los funerales de mis dos abuelas y de mis padres. Predico en lo que quiero creer y creo en lo que predico. Mi abuela murió cuando estaba estudiando en Loyola, en Nueva Orleans, en 1977. Ella me envió una carta que yo leí después de su muerte. “Te extraño. Nos vemos pronto. Cariños, Abuela.” Ella me verá pronto. No tengo idea cuanto más me queda en éste mundo. Pero comparado a la eternidad. Nos veremos pronto. El amor y la fe nos unen a aquellos que nos han precedido y nos dan la esperanza de nuestro futuro final.

Suyos en Cristo,
