Como siempre sucede en el Tiempo ordinario, la lectura del Antiguo Testamento ilumina el
Evangelio. El encuentro de Elías con Dios comienza con un catálogo de “efectos especiales” asociados con epifanías divinas:
viento, terremoto y fuego. Pero la auto-revelación con-creta de Dios no se da en nada tan dramático y la
pregunta de Jesús a Pedro, y a nosotros, es discretamen-te sencilla: “¿Por qué dudaste?” ¿Por qué, después de
siglos de vientos y olas, no podemos ver las
innumerables formas que toman las manos extendidas de Jesús? Estamos tan impresionados con los “efectos especiales” de la vida que, asemejándonos bastante a
Elías, apenas podemos oír “el murmullo de una brisa suave”.
Y sin embargo la voz está ahí, o mejor dicho, está aquí. Y así también lo está Jesús. “Soy yo”, textualmente el nombre divino de YO SOY. Por muy peligrosas que
sean las olas o caótico que sea el viento, Jesús está aquí mismo y nos dice como un murmullo en el silencio de la
noche: “Tranquilícense y no teman. Soy yo”. Sólo tenemos que quedarnos aquí, en esta barca sacudida por la tempestad, pero infinitamente preciosa: la Iglesia, la
comunidad de Jesús, que nunca abandona.
Pregunta de la Semana ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que me pareció haber sentido la profunda ausencia de Dios en mi vida? ¿Su profunda
presencia? ¿A quién o a quiénes estoy llamado a extender una mano de apoyo que dé fortaleza, como
las manos de Jesús?
As always in Ordinary Time, the Old Testament reading
illumines the Gospel. Elijah’s encounter with God begins with
a catalogue of the “special effects” associated with divine epiphanies: wind, earthquake,
fire. But God’s actual selfrevelation is not in anything that dramatic, and Jesus’ question to Peter and us is
quietly simple: “Why did you doubt?” (Matthew 14:31). Why, after centuries of winds and waves, do we fail to see the countless forms Jesus’ outstretched hand takes?
Too easily impressed by life’s “special effects,” we, much like Elijah, can hardly hear the “tiny whispering
sound” (1 Kings 19:12).
Yet the sound is there, or rather, here. So is Jesus. “It is I,” literally, I AM, the Divine Name (Matthew 14:27).
“I AM with you always,” Jesus promises, “until the end” (28:20). However perilous the waves or chaotic the
wind, Jesus, right here, whispers in night’s silence, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid” (14:27).
We have only to stay right here, in the storm-tossed but infinitely precious boat, the Church, the community
Jesus never abandons.
Question of the Week When was the last time I experienced God as really absent from my life? Really present? To whom am I called to be Jesus’ outstretched hand of strength and
support?
