Lent: A 40 Day Inner Journey

Today we celebrate the first Sunday of lent. The Church invites us to undertake, for forty days, an interior pilgrimage in order to prepare ourselves to commemorate the great mysteries of the redemption: the passion, death and resurrection of the Lord.

The fast pace of contemporary life compels us to address multiple commitments, which is a cause of concern and dispersion; We don't have a defined objective, but we are addressing issues that distract us. Lent is a time

of reflection and internalize, It is an opportunity to make a stop along the way. Mark, the Evangelist, tells us today a well-known phrase: "Repent and believe in the Gospel". According to the

dictionary repent means "view or think of (an action or omission) with deep regret or remorse ". Repentance requires a high dose of sincerity to be able to recognize our mistakes, and not just go for apologies and justifications. The most common and easy is thing to do point out the culprit.

Human beings are relentless in our criticisms to the Government, to the Church, to our bosses, our coworkers, and also to our relatives. And we are excessively benevolent with ourselves as we always find apologies to justify us. And worse still when we say: " I do not regret anything; If I could start again, I would do exactly the

same". What stupidity! What inability of look at ourselves in the mirror! We are deluded if we think that all our decisions have been successful, that all our words were cautious and pronounced at the right time, that we have always been objective and fair in our judgments.

During Lent, the Church invites us to walk the journey that leads inside of ourselves, overcoming the innumerable distractions from the outside world. This encounter with ourselves, with no other witness than our

consciousness, should let us recognize the liability of selfishness and negativity that we have been accumulating, and take measures to make the necessary corrections. Now, it is not a simple psychological process of introspection; This encounter with ourselves, is done in the presence of God, and asking ourselves what God asks of us.

Let us live Lent as a time of internalization, conversion and preparation for Easter.

Have a nice weekend!

Cuaresma: Un viaje interior de 40 días. Hoy de que celebramos el primer domingo Cuaresma. La Iglesia nos invita a emprender, durante cuarenta

días, una peregrinación interior con el fin de prepararnos para conmemorar los grandes misterios de la redención: la pasión, muerte y resurrección del Señor.

El intenso ritmo de la vida contemporánea nos obliga a atender múltiples compromisos, lo cual es causa de preocupaciones y dispersión; no tenemos un objetivo definido, sino que estamos atendiendo asuntos que nos distraen. La Cuaresma es tiempo de reflexión y de interioridad: es una oportunidad de hacer un alto en el

camino. El evangelista Marcos nos dice hoy una frase bien conocida: “Arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio”. Según

el Diccionario arrepentirse significa “pesarle a alguien haber hecho o haber dejado de hacer alguna cosa”. El arrepentimiento exige una alta dosis de sinceridad para ser capaces de reconocer nuestros errores, y no salir en búsqueda de disculpas y justificaciones. Lo más común es señalar al culpable fuera de nosotros.

Los seres humanos somos implacables en nuestras críticas al gobierno, a la Iglesia, a los jefes, a los compañeros de trabajo, a los parientes. Y somos excesivamente benévolos con nosotros mismos pues siempre encontramos mil disculpas para justificarnos. Y peor aún cuando decimos: “Yo no me arrepiento de

nada; si pudiera volver a comenzar, haría exactamente lo mismo”. ¡Qué estupidez! ¡Qué incapacidad de

mirarnos al espejo! Estamos engañados si creemos que todas nuestras decisiones han sido acertadas, que todas nuestras palabras han sido prudentes y pronunciadas en el momento oportuno, que siempre hemos

sido objetivos y justos en nuestros juicios. Durante la Cuaresma, la Iglesia nos invita a recorrer un camino que nos conduce al interior de nosotros

mismos, superando las innumerables distracciones del mundo exterior. Este encuentro con nosotros, sin otro testigo que nuestra conciencia, deberá0 permitirnos reconocer el pasivo de egoísmo y negatividad que hemos venido acumulando y tomar las medidas para hacer los correctivos necesarios. Ahora bien, no se trata de un simple proceso psicológico de introspección; este encuentro con nosotros mismos lo realizamos

en presencia de Dios y preguntándonos qué pide Dios de nosotros. Vivamos la Cuaresma como un tiempo de interiorización, conversión y preparación para la Pascua.

Que tengan un bendecido fin de semana.

P. Andres Arango Párroco
