From the Desk of Father John Jicha

Dear Parishioners,

The third Sunday of Advent is traditionally called Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete is the Latin word meaning “rejoice.” This Sunday is so named because “Rejoice” is the first word in the entrance antiphon for today's Mass taken from Philippians 4:4,5: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice! The Lord is near.” We mark this Sunday on the Advent wreath with a pink candle, as a joyful reminder that our salvation is near. This week's Gospel Reading continues our Advent reflection on the person and message of John the Baptist. Last week we heard John speak about his relationship to the coming Messiah, Jesus. This week, we hear Jesus' message to John the Baptist, now in prison, about the signs of the kingdom found in Jesus' ministry and Jesus' assessment of John's role in the Kingdom of God.

In this weekend's reading from Matthew's Gospel, John sends word to Jesus from prison, asking if Jesus is the Messiah for whom he has been waiting. Jesus responds by pointing to the miracles that he has worked and invites John and the other hearers to make their own determination. In his next breath, however, Jesus praises John for his role in preparing the way for Jesus. Then Jesus says that all of those who work for the Kingdom of God will be as great as John and even greater.

Jesus' message to John about the signs of the kingdom being performed recalls the salvation described by the prophet Isaiah. This passage is a reminder that the beginning of salvation is already mysteriously present to us, but also yet to be fulfilled. Salvation is already in our midst as manifest in the miraculous deeds of Jesus and in the Church. But salvation is also to be fulfilled in the coming reign of God. Even as we observe our world today, we can find glimpses of God's work among us. Even more, we help to prepare the way for God's kingdom by our words and our deeds. This message is indeed a cause for rejoicing!

In the Lord,

Desde el Escritorio del Padre Juan Antonio

Todo lo que el profeta conocía iba a cambiar radicalmente. Hasta el desierto iba a florecer. Hay que recordar que Palestina es una tierra rodeada de desiertos, así que el profeta sabía bien de lo que estaba hablando y de que eso era prácticamente imposible. Pero no sólo los desiertos van a florecer. El que viene nos quitará el temor y el miedo, devolverá la vista a los ciegos y los sordos volverán a oír. Dicho de otra manera, los que por el pecado habían quedado incapaces para comunicarse con el mundo, los que nos habíamos quedado sordos y ciegos ante el Dios que nos ama y nos invita a la salvación, recuperaremos esos sentidos y volveremos a ver y a oír al Dios que nos llama. Los liberados de todas las esclavitudes darán saltos de alegría y tendrán una dicha eterna reflejada en sus rostros. Eso es lo que va a suceder cuando venga el que está a punto de venir según el profeta. Ante la pregunta de los discípulos de Juan Bautista a Jesús, éste responde: “Vayan y cuéntenle a Juan lo que han visto y oído” y a continuación les dice casi al pie de la letra lo que decía la lectura del profeta Isaías. Pero con una diferencia importante. Donde el profeta utilizaba el futuro, Jesús usa el presente. Lo que el profeta anunciaba como algo que había que esperar, Jesús lo dice como algo que ya está sucediendo. No sólo eso. Jesús alaba a Juan Bautista. Ha sido, dice, el mayor de los profetas. Sin duda. Pero nos sorprende con su última frase: “Sin embargo, el más pequeño en el Reino de los Cielos es más que él”. Parece que Jesús habla de un presente, algo que ya está sucediendo, que es de tal forma nuevo, que hasta la figura gigante de Juan Bautista queda apagada ante ello.
