Fearfully and Gloriously Concrete[T]he gospel adds something striking on the low. Love your sisters and brothers as Jesus has loved you (Jn 15:12). In your situation and mine, the command no longer lives in glorious abstraction. It is splendidly, fearfully, gloriously concrete. How do we love as Jesus loved?
We share his incarnate mission. Preaching the Just Word, living the Just Word, is our loving role in Jesus’ programmatic declaration of his mission in Nazareth’s synagogue: “The Spirit of the Lord… has anointed me to bring good news to the poor … to let the oppressed go free” (Lk 4:18)
We share Jesus’ mission as servants, “slaves” if you prefer the stronger translation. If “the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve” (Mt 20-28), then we dare not imitate the rulers Jesus experienced, the rulers we experience, those who “lord it” over the people are “tyrants over them” (v.25) … If I may add a phrase to the prophet Micah, we need to “walk humbly” not only “with [our] God” (Mic 6:8); we must walk humbly with our people.
We share Jesus’ mission as suffering servants … That greatest of all loves which Jesus lauded, to lay down life itself for those we love, is rarely a single act: St. Sebastian - a dartboard for pagan arrows, Archbishop Romero died from an assassin’s single bullet. It is even more difficult to lay down your whole life for those you love. Such is our Gethsemane, and it forces from us time and time again Jesus’ own cry from bloody sweat: Please, please, God, “remove this cup from me” (Lk 22-42)
Go forth, then, with fresh confidence, aware with St. Paul that you “can do all things,” but only “through [the Lord] who strengthens” you (Phil 4:13). And the Lord will strengthen you, if … you cast all your hope on him.

Temerosa y Gloriosamente Concreta[E]l evangelio agrega algo sorprendente en lo bajo. Ama a tus hermanas y hermanos como Jesús te amó (Jn 15,12). En tu situación y en la mía, el comando ya no vive en gloriosa abstracción. Es espléndida, espantosa y gloriosamente concreta. ¿Cómo amamos como amó Jesús?
Compartimos su misión encarnada. Predicar la Palabra Justa, vivir la Palabra Justa, es nuestro papel amoroso en la declaración programática de Jesús de su misión en la sinagoga de Nazaret: “El Espíritu del Señor ... me ha ungido para llevar buenas nuevas a los pobres ... para dejar libres a los oprimidos. ” (Lc 4,18)
Compartimos la misión de Jesús como siervos, "esclavos" si prefieres la traducción más fuerte. Si “el Hijo del Hombre no vino para ser servido, sino para servir” (Mt 20-28), entonces no nos atrevemos a imitar a los gobernantes que experimentó Jesús, los gobernantes que experimentamos, los que “se enseñorean” del pueblo son “tiranos de ellos” (v.25) … Si puedo agregar una frase al profeta Miqueas, debemos“ andar humildemente ”no solo“ con [nuestro] Dios ”(Miq. 6: 8); debemos caminar humildemente con nuestra gente.
Compartimos la misión de Jesús como siervos sufrientes ... Ese amor más grande de todos los que Jesús alabó, dar la vida por aquellos a quienes amamos, rara vez es un solo acto: San Sebastián - un tablero de dardos para flechas paganas, el Arzobispo Romero murió de una bala única del asesino. Es aún más difícil dar toda tu vida por tus seres queridos. Tal es nuestro Getsemaní, y nos obliga una y otra vez el propio grito de Jesús del sudor sanguinolento: Por favor, Dios, por favor, "aparta de mí esta copa" (Lc 22-42).
Vaya, pues, con renovada confianza, consciente con San Pablo de que "todo lo puede", pero sólo "por [el Señor] que le fortalece" (Fil 4, 13). Y el Señor te fortalecerá si ... depositas en él toda tu esperanza. -
