GospelReflectionToday’s Gospel records that Jesus was not believed or welcomed and this lack of faith was so distressing that he could work no miracles there except for a few healings. We might wonder about the skepticism and doubt of those contemporaries of Jesus, but that attitude might keep us from recognizing that we can be just as close-minded and skeptical. We are invited this Sunday to humbly examine our own attitudes toward the poor, immigrants, and the unborn; toward church teaching on economic justice, the environment and family life. Have we hardened our hearts to God’s voice and presence like those of old?
ReflexiónevangélicaEl Evangelio de hoy registra que a Jesús no le creían ni le daban la bienvenida y esta falta de fe era tan angustiosa que no pudo hacer milagros ahí, excepto por unas cuantas sanaciones. Puede que nos preguntemos sobre el escepticismo y la duda de aquellos contemporáneos de Jesús, pero esa actitud puede que nos aleja de reconocer que podemos ser de mente cerrada y escépticos. Estamos invitados este domingo a examinar humildemente nuestras propias actitudes hacia los pobres, los inmigrantes y los no-natos; hacia la enseñanza de la Iglesia sobre la justicia económica, el medio ambiente y la familia ¿Se han endurecido nuestros corazones a la voz y la presencia de Dios como los de esos hombres del pasado?
