Pagina 5 San Juan Evangelista ESTAR ATENTOS A LA SEGUNDA VENIDA Al acercarse el final del año litúrgico, la Sagrada Escritura se hace más urgente. Tanto el profeta Malaquías como Jesús en el Evangelio de Lucas ofrecen descripciones gráficas de un terrible futuro. Pero estamos perdiendo el mensaje si usamos estos pasajes para especular sobre cuándo se acabará el mundo. Los problemas predichos, y muchos más, han ocurrido ya. Nada más en el siglo pasado, hemos visto devastaciones peores que las que los antiguos profetas hubieran podido imaginar. No se nos dieron estos pasajes para llenarnos el corazón de temor sino de fe. El sol de justicia brillará, nos asegura Malaquías, para quienes son fieles. Y Jesús promete: “Manténganse firmes y se salvarán”. Pero es Pablo quien presenta el mensaje más escuetamente. Los tesalonicenses estaban tan convencidos de que el fin del mundo estaba cerca, ¡que algunos de ellos dejaron de trabajar! Pablo les explica su condición claramente: “… si alguien no quiere trabajar, que no coma”. No somos llamados a preocuparnos sobre cómo terminarán las cosas, sino a vivir fielmente hoy.

Vulcan #40, Encinitas 92024 Sábado 23, Juanita Ramírez 672 Clark Ave., Encinitas 92024 Noveimbre 17, 2013 LA VIRGEN DE LA PRESENTACION Aproximadamente en 1589 los colonizadores de Ecuador quisieron tener una patrona para su territorio y pidieron al artista, Diego de Robles, una imagen de la virgen de la Presentación. Cuando el escultor quiso entregar la imagen, quienes la ordenaron no pudieron pagar. No sabiendo que hacer con la imagen la vendió a un grupo de indígenas Oyacachis por unos tablones de cedro fino. Los Oyacachis reconocieron en la imagen a la Señora que se les había aparecido en una cueva prometiendo proteger sus niños de unos peligrosos osos en la zona. En 1604, los indígenas cristianizados entregaron la imagen al obispo quien la instaló en la iglesia del pueblo de Quinche. Es interesante como esta virgencita comisionada por españoles pasa a manos de los nativos. Ella misma y el Niño Dios que carga en brazos son de aspecto mestizo, con ojos asiáticos. Diego de Robles la había diseñado pensando en el nuevo pueblo que vendría del mestizaje de los europeos con el pueblo nativo. “La pequeñita”, como la llama su pueblo, pudo unir en si misma la diversidad de su hijos.
