EL DESEO DE DIOS PARA SER CONOCIDO

La lectura del An guo Testamento del libro del Deuteronomio alaba a Dios por escribir los mandamientos en nuestros cuerpos. La ley de Dios no es extraña o distante, sino una parte natural de nosotros. En su carta a los colosenses, san Pablo hace eco de Moisés, alabando a Dios por ser uno de nosotros. Él, verdaderamente humano, de carne y hueso, Jesús nos re-cuerda que Dios siempre quiere ser para nosotros alguien familiar al quien podemos recono-cer, el que es verdadero Dios, quiere estar en buenos términos con cada uno de nosotros.

El deseo apasionado de Dios para ser conocido por nosotros es tan maravilloso para disfru-tarse. El Evangelio de Lucas nos ayuda a entender cómo responder. La parábola del Buen Samaritano nos provee de consejos prác cos para quienes creen en la in midad del amor de Dios para ellos y quiere compar r ese amor con otros.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Desde 1913, en la ciudad de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, la Virgen del Carmen es reconocida como la Virgen del Mar. En aquel año un barco llamado el Galileo naufraga en una tem-pestad y el pueblo angus ado por sus seres queridos recurrió al templo de la Virgen para pedir auxilio. Algunos días después todos los tripulantes fueron rescatados y llevados a Puntarenas. Según los tripulantes, mientras las lluvias y vientos amenazaban al Galileo una mujer los animó a que se echasen al agua y nadaran a erra firme. Allí ella los alimentó y los acompañó hasta que fueron rescatados.

Llenos de alegría, el pueblo llevó a los rescatados a la iglesia para dar gracias. Estos reco-nocieron a la Virgen del Carmen como la mujer que los había ayudado. Desde entonces el sábado más cercano al 16 de julio, el pueblo celebra en grande la fiesta del Carmen con grandes desfiles de barcos y yates. Entre música y fuegos ar ficiales los costarricenses vienen en embarcaciones adornadas desde toda la nación a celebrar con la Virgen del Mar que también se encuentra en una embarcación.
