“Do you Love Me? … Prove it.”
So often in our relationships we seek clear
and concrete signs of affection in order to
prove someone’s resolve to love. We know
that actions speak louder than words; moreover, we need
something concrete to validate what we say. In other words,
“if you love me, then prove it.” We can say, “I love you” but if we do not show up, prove our
care, make our beloved a priority in our life, then the words
are meaningless. We need something concrete to validate
intangible truths: Love is accompanied by a rose, a sign of
affection, a tangible and concrete act which validates and
adds weight to the words we say. God uses clear and sure signs so that we can cling to Him. He
communicates His own life by means of clear and certain
signs. Every sacrament we receive testifies to the truth that
God loves us. That is why each sacrament is brought about in
both WORD and DEED: notice that each sacrament is
communicated through some words accompanied by some
action. In Baptism we see the priest pour water over the
child’s head while he says, “I baptize you in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” We have a
clear and concrete sign of the thing signified. With each
sacrament there is not only a word, but also an action, which
communicates God’s life. God uses these moments in order that we might be SURE that
God is acting in our life. Sacraments are those clear and
concrete signs when we can be assured of God’s care for us.
In the Gospel when Jesus sends the lepers to the priest, He is
teaching about the effective authority of the rituals
accompanied by God’s Action. This is only further proven
when Jesus takes bread, says the blessing, breaks the bread
and says, “This is my Body…do this in memory of Me.”
What Jesus teaches us to do in the ritual action is to receive
from Him His own life communicated through the Eucharist.
In other words, the sacraments are those clear and certain
signs when we hear God say to us, “I love you”.
God love you, Father Fleming
"¿Me amas? ... Demuéstralo ". Muy a menudo
en nuestras relaciones buscamos signos claros
y concretos de afecto para demostrar la deter-
minación de alguien de amar. Sabemos que las
acciones hablan más que las palabras;
Además, necesitamos algo concreto para validar lo que decimos.
En otras palabras, "si me amas, pruébalo".
Podemos decir: "Te amo", pero si no estamos presentes regular-
mente, si no demostramos nuestro afecto y cuidado, si no hace-
mos que la persona amada sea una prioridad en nuestra vida, en-
tonces las palabras no tienen sentido. Necesitamos algo concreto
para validar verdades intangibles: el amor va acompañado de una
rosa, un signo de afecto, un acto tangible y concreto que valida y
agrega peso a las palabras que decimos.
De la misma manera Dios usa señales claras y seguras para que
podamos aferrarnos a Él. Él comunica su propia vida por medio
de signos claros y ciertos. Cada sacramento que recibimos da tes-
timonio de la verdad de que Dios nos ama. Es por eso es que cada
sacramento se produce tanto en PALABRAS como en HECHOS:
observe que cada sacramento se comunica a través de algunas
palabras acompañadas de alguna acción. En el bautismo vemos al
sacerdote verter agua sobre la cabeza del niño mientras dice: "Yo
te bautizo en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu San-
to". Y así con los demás sacramentos. Cada uno de ellos tiene un
signo claro y concreto de lo que significa. Con cada sacramento
no solo hay una palabra, sino también una acción, que comunica
la vida de Dios.
Dios usa estos momentos para que podamos estar SEGUROS de
que Dios está actuando en nuestra vida. Los sacramentos son esos
signos claros y concretos en los cuales podemos estar oír y sentir
que Dios nos ama y cuida de nosotros. En el Evangelio, cuando
Jesús les dice a los leprosos que vayan con el sacerdote, Él les
está enseñando acerca de la autoridad efectiva de los rituales
acompañados de la Acción de Dios. Esto se demuestra aún más
cuando Jesús toma pan, lo parte, lo bendice, y dice: "Este es mi
cuerpo ... haz esto en memoria mía". Lo que Jesús nos está ense-
ñando en el rito es que recibamos de Él Su propia vida comunica-
da a través de la Eucaristía. En otras palabras, los sacramentos
son esas señales claras y ciertas cuando escuchamos a Dios
decirnos: "Te amo". Dios te ama, Padre Fleming
