(Isaiah 50:5-9a). Psalm I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living (Psalm 116). Second Reading Faith, if it does not have works, is dead (James 2:14-18). Gospel Jesus asked his disciples, Who do you say that I am? (Mark 8:27-35). LISTENING AND RESPONDING There are three interwoven themes in today s readings: listening to God, faith vs. good works, and losing our life in order to find it. How are they related? The Suffering Servant of Isaiah undergoes much distress and ridicule, but is able to bear it because he has listened to the promptings of God day after day. The psalm tells us that God listens, too. God hears our prayers for help and is always ready to save us. As our faith deepens, so does our desire to do the works of justice and charity that build up the reign of God. God directs our actions in ways we often cannot see, and we don t always see the results. We are called upon in faith to trust that what we do is enough, and that willingness to listen to God s promptings will lead us in the right way. RESPECT FOR LIFE DEBES VER MÁS ALLÁ DE LAS APARIENCIAS En las lecturas de hoy se entrecruzan tres temas: escuchar a Dios, la fe vs. las buenas obras y perder nuestra vida para poder salvarla. De qué manera están relacionados estos temas? En Isaías, el Siervo Sufriente padece muchos disgustos y burlas, pero puede soportarlos porque ha escuchado los mensajes de Dios día tras día. El salmo nos dice que Dios también escucha. Dios escucha nuestras súplicas y siempre está dispuesto a salvarnos. Cuando nuestra fe se profundiza, también se profundiza nuestro deseo de hacer obras de justicia y caridad que fortalecen el Reino de Dios. Dios guía nuestras acciones de maneras que muchas veces no podemos ver y no siempre vemos los resultados. Se nos llama en fe a confiar en que lo que hacemos es suficiente y que nuestra disposición a escuchar los mensajes de Dios nos guiará por el camino correcto. FROM BLESSED TERESA OF CALCUTTA But I feel a great destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, direct murder by the mother herself. And we read in the scripture, for God says very clearly. "Even if a mother could forget her child, I will not forget you. I have carved you in the palm of My Hand." We are carved in the palm of His Hand; so close to Him, that unborn child has been carved in the Hand of God. And that is what strikes me most, the beginning of that sentence, that even a mother could forget something impossible but even if she could forget -- "I will not forget you." And today the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. And we who are standing here our parents wanted us. We would not be here if our parents would do that to us. Lecture upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Oslo, Norway, Dec. 11, DE PARTE DE LA BEATA TERESA DE CALCUTA Pero yo siento que el aborto es el gran destructor de la paz, porque es una guerra directa, una matanza directa, asesinato directo por parte de la propia madre. Nosotros leemos en las Escrituras, porque Dios lo dice muy claramente. Aunque una madre se olvide de su hijo, Yo no te olvidaré. Te tengo grabado en la palma de Mi Mano. Nosotros estamos grabados en la palma de Su Mano, tan cerca de Él, ese niño no nacido ha sido grabado en la palma de Su Mano. Y esto es lo que pega más fuerte, el comienzo de esta oración, que aunque la madre pueda olvidarse de algo imposible aún si ella se olvida Yo no te olvidaré. Y hoy el gran destructor de la paz es el aborto. Y nosotros los que estamos hoy aquí fuimos deseados por nuestros padres. No estaríamos hoy aquí si nuestros padres nos hubieran hecho esto a nosotros. Discurso al recibir el Premio Nóbel de la Paz en Oslo, Noruega, en Diciembre 11, 1979.
