“All that you see here - the days will

come when there will not be left one stone up another. ”

Jesus grew up in the small village of Naz-areth on top of a craggy mountain in the northern part of Israel. Like the vast ma-

jority of the people of his day he lived in a small house with a lower space where animals were brought in at night and a raised portion at the rear where the family lived, stored their meager possessions and slept on mats. There was no middle class. It is recorded that Jesus traveled several times to the grand and elabo-rately furnished Temple in the walled city of Jerusalem. He saw the excesses of wealth and power and he real-ized they were not what God desired to honor him. He taught us that people who love God, and who love and are responsible for themselves and others, are the true Temples that give honor to their God who created them. The Temple and the City of Jerusalem would be destroyed by Titus and natural disasters. But the disci-ples of Jesus who try to imitate him are Temples of the Holy Spirit that no natural disaster or powerful army can destroy. Are we such a temple?

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE 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 ima-gen, quienes la ordenaron no pudieron pagar. No sabi-endo 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 pen-sando 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.

AMBIENTE SEGURO

LA VIDA ES DURA, PERO NO TENEMOS MIEDO Las lecturas de hoy toman una mirada valiente a la realidad y llegan a la conclusión que todos sabemos, la vida es dura. El pro-feta Malaquías predica fuego y azufre, advirtiéndonos que los malhechores perecerán en llamas. San Pablo ofrece su propia advertencia a los tesalonicenses: manténgase ocupados, pero nunca en entrometidos. Él recuerda a los cristianos que los mis-mos apóstoles hicieron trabajos pesados y penosos como un modelo de cómo debemos contribuir a nuestra comunidad. El Evangelio regresa al tono apocalíptico de Malaquías, describi-endo el caos total del final de los tiempos. Sabremos que el fin se acerca cuando la violencia, las catástrofes y el odio dominen la tierra. ¡Pero no debemos tener miedo! El plan de salvación de Dios nos da paz a nuestros corazones. Malaquías habla de los rayos sanadores del sol, y el mismo Jesús promete proteger cada cabello de nuestras cabezas.
