Buscado por el Maestro
La mayoría de los estudiantes de secundaria o universitarios que buscan estudiar en una escuela en particular o con un mentor en particular generalmente hacen el trabajo de buscar sus opciones. El evangelio de hoy presenta una experiencia muy diferente de cómo uno se esfuerza (o no) en la elección de dónde o con quién estudiar. Como los estudiantes de hoy, los discípulos de la época de Jesús generalmente tomaban la decisión. Inspirado por algún maestro o maestro espiritual, el aspirante a discípulo buscó un lugar entre los estudiantes.
Pero Jesús hace algo muy diferente.
En este caso, el maestro busca a los estudiantes, recluta a sus seguidores e invita a sus aspirantes a discípulos. Estamos tan familiarizados con el llamado de Jesús a los Doce que podemos perder la naturaleza asombrosa de este enfoque. Jesús, el Hijo de Dios, no solo se humilla para convertirse en un predicador pobre e itinerante; también busca discípulos sin esperar a que primero se acerquen a él.
Además, Jesús no se encuentra con sus discípulos completos, están en medio de algún punto alto existencial o experiencia mística de oración. No, se encuentra con ellos en la rutina, aburrida y ordinaria de la vida: reparando redes, pescando, recaudando impuestos o haciendo lo que sea.
Jesús todavía nos busca, se acerca a nosotros en medio de nuestra ajetreada y ordinaria vida y dice: "Oye, ven y sígueme". La pregunta no es si hemos sido aceptados en la escuela de Jesús; es si decimos que sí a la invitación personal. Lo único que nos queda por decidir es si realmente queremos aprender del maestro, o simplemente ignorarlo y volver al trabajo típico de nuestras vidas.

Pope Francis Quote
True charity requires courage: Let us overcome the fear of getting our hands dirty so as to help those in need.
La verdadera caridad requiere valor: Superemos el miedo a ensuciarnos las manos para ayudar a los necesitados.
