For your reflection… Sometimes we lose sleep. It may be justified, because we are worried about the future of our family, or a health concern, or some other problem. Worries can distract us from fundamental things that, although they seem untrue, are even more true than the concrete worry that we bring. There is the issue of migration, political situations, and other social problems. What can be more real than all of this? These issues are very important, and they force us to focus our attention and effort on solving them, but truthfully all of these problems belong to time, and therefore they will pass. “Nothing disturbs you, nothing frightens you. Everything passes, God does not move,” says Saint Teresa of Jesus. That is to say, there is a bigger reality than what we are going through, bigger than ourselves and bigger than our problems, however immense they may seem. This is what gives us hope. It’s not that we don’t have to fight to improve ourselves, to solve our situations and make the world a better place; it’s to know that God is over everything and He opens in us a hope that is authentic and sheds light in our lives. This gives us peace and strength to continue fighting, without giving in to the worry that possesses us. This is what it is to be awake, to raise your head and see that the day of liberation is at hand!

Para su reflexión… A veces perdemos el sueño. Puede ser que con razón por preocupaciones sobre el futuro de nuestra familia o algún asunto de salud u otro problema; pero también las preocupaciones podrían distraernos de cosas fundamentales que quizá, aunque parezca mentira, sean incluso más verdaderas que la preocupación concreta que traemos. Está el tema migratorio, la situación política y otros problemas sociales. ¿Qué puede ser más real que todo esto? Con ser muy importante y obligarnos a centrar nuestra atención y esfuerzo en resolver gran parte de esto, la verdad es que todos esos problemas pertenecen al tiempo; y, por lo tanto, pasarán. “Nada te turbe, nada te espante. Todo se pasa. Dios no se muda…” dice Santa Teresa de Jesús. Es decir, que hay una realidad más grande que todo eso por lo que estamos pasando, más grande que nosotros mismos y más grande que todo problema, por inmenso que parezca. Eso es lo que nos da esperanza. No es que no tengamos que luchar por superarnos, solucionar nuestras situaciones y construir un mundo mejor; pero, el saber que Dios está por encima de eso nos abre a una esperanza mucho más luminosa y auténtica. Eso nos da paz y fuerza para seguir luchando, sin dejar que la preocupación nos posea. Eeso es estar despiertos y levantar la cabeza. Llega el día de la liberación.

Para pensar… ¿Qué te está preocupando mucho en este momento?

¿Te ocupa tanto el corazón y la mente que te impide hacer otras cosas?

¿Descuidas a veces cosas importantes por estar demasiado absorbido por alguna preocupación?

¿Qué significa para ti estar despierto?
