Often, we are told to consider the Jerusalem <\/em>of <\/em>the prophets as God\u2019s Church.<\/em> Prayerfully let us do that with the last chapter of Isaiah, our first reading of today, and let us do it with joy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerusalem, our Church \u2013 Rejoice <\/em>with her and exult<\/em>, we who live in mourning<\/em> with her in the chaos of our times. \/\/ Think of her as Mother<\/em> and Nurse<\/em> from her the fulness of God\u2019s Grace. \/\/ Be comforted and delight in the abundance<\/em> of her goodness. \/\/ Lo,<\/em> behold, the richness<\/em> of her grace, her wealth,<\/em> flowing like a river,<\/em> like a flood <\/em>from every nation<\/em> of the world. \/\/ Let yourself be comforted<\/em> by her, carried<\/em> in her arms, cradled<\/em> on her lap. \/\/ Seeing this, you and your brothers and sisters<\/em> shall flourish like the grass;\u2026the LORD’s power shall be known to [you] his servants.<\/em> \/\/ YES! And we respond with Mother Church, \u201cLet all the earth, [let us], cry out with joy!\u201d (Ps 66: 1).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Paul lays down for us a rule of Christian life, brothers, and sisters: \u201cMay [we] never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/em> Paul used himself as a model and said that through cross and with Christ the world has become crucified to him, and he himself to the world. He hopes that the Christian community of Galatia (and we) will cherish our own crosses, for all of us through Jesus are a new Israel, a People of God. Peace will be upon us who accept this rule of willing sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Alleluia verse intensifies Paul\u2019s rule of life: “Let the peace of Christ control your hearts; let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.\u201d (See <\/em>Colossians, 3:15-16). As both Isaiah and Paul insist, find joy and peace in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Followers of Christ are called upon by St. Luke in the Gospel. Isaiah and Paul remind us to be models for others by lives dedicated to God and God made Man. Luke has asked us to be new apostles of Jesus who is to come. The instructions given to the seventy-two (to us) to prepare the way for Him are much the same as those given earlier to the Twelve. When we appear before the Lord, let us rejoice as did the seventy-two, not because we have won over evil, but to hear our Savior say, “Rejoice because your names are written in heaven.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Clamar de alegr\u00eda”<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A menudo se nos dice que consideremos a la Jerusal\u00e9n<\/em> de los profetas como la Iglesia de<\/em> Dios<\/em>. Hag\u00e1moslo con el \u00faltimo cap\u00edtulo de Isa\u00edas, nuestra primera lectura de hoy, y hag\u00e1moslo “con alegr\u00eda”.
\u00a0
Jerusal\u00e9n, nuestra Iglesia: Al\u00e9grate<\/em> con ella y al\u00e9grate<\/em>, nosotros que vivimos en luto <\/em>con ella en el caos de nuestros tiempos. \/\/ Piensa en ella como Madre<\/em> y Amamanta <\/em>de ella la plenitud de la Gracia de Dios. \/\/ S\u00e9 consuelo<\/em>, del\u00e9itate<\/em> en la abundancia<\/em> de su bondad. \/\/
He aqu\u00ed<\/em>, la riqueza<\/em> de su gracia, su riqueza<\/em>, fluyendo como un r\u00edo,<\/em> como un diluvio<\/em> de todas las naciones<\/em> del mundo. D\u00e9jate consolar <\/em>por ella, llevado<\/em> en sus brazos, acunado<\/em> en su regazo. Al ver esto, t\u00fa y tus hermanos y hermanas<\/em> florecer\u00e1n como la hierba<\/em>\u2026\u00a0El
‘Poder’ de Jehov\u00e1 os ser\u00e1 conocido a vosotros, su siervo.<\/em>\/\/\u00a1S\u00cd! Y nosotros respondemos con la Madre Iglesia: “\u00a1Que toda la tierra grite de alegr\u00eda!”<\/em> (Sal 66, 1).
\u00a0
San Pablo nos impone una regla de vida crism\u00e1tica, hermanos y hermanas: “No nos gloriemos sino en la cruz de nuestro Se\u00f1or Jesucristo” Pablo se us\u00f3 a s\u00ed mismo como modelo y dijo que a trav\u00e9s de la cruz y con Cristo el mundo ha sido crucificado para \u00e9l, y \u00e9l mismo para el mundo. \u00c9l espera que la comunidad cristiana de Galicia (y nosotros) apreciemos nuestras propias cruces, porque todos nosotros, a trav\u00e9s de Jes\u00fas, somos un nuevo Israel, un Pueblo de Dios. La paz estar\u00e1 sobre nosotros que aceptemos esta regla de sacrificio voluntario.
\u00a0
El vers\u00edculo del Aleluya intensifica la regla de vida de Pablo: “Que la paz de Cristo controle vuestros corazones; que la palabra de Cristo habite en abundancia en vosotros”<\/em> (ver Colosenses, 3:15-16). Como insisten tanto Isa\u00edas como Pablo, encuentra gozo y paz en Cristo.
\u00a0
Los seguidores de Cristo son convocados por San Lucas en el Evangelio. Isa\u00edas y Pablo nos recuerdan que debemos ser modelos para los dem\u00e1s con vidas dedicadas a Dios y a Dios hecho hombre, Lucas nos ha pedido que seamos nuevos ap\u00f3stoles de Jes\u00fas que est\u00e1 por venir. Las instrucciones dadas a los setenta y dos (a nosotros) para preparar el camino para \u00c9l son muy parecidas a las dadas anteriormente a los Doce. Cuando nos presentemos ante el Se\u00f1or, regocij\u00e9monos como lo hicieron los setenta y dos, no porque hayamos vencido al mal, sino para escuchar a nuestro Salvador decir: \u201cAl\u00e9grense porque sus nombres est\u00e1n
escritos en el Cielo\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
