Cuando llegan a una gran ciudad, algunos hispanos se pueden sentir algo intimidados por la falta de color o de variedad en muchas de las calles. Todo se les hace igual y por esa falta de variedad, confuso y amenazador. La falta de una referencia o un idioma común hace sentir como abandonado, desprotegido e indefenso. La ciudad ideal no es, sin duda, una ciudad ideal es un lugar sin huérfanos; un lugar de alegría y de fiesta. En un lugar así, hay fortaleza y protección, aunque haya mucha variedad y muchas cosas no resulten familiares: pero se puede aprender porque hay diferencias y contrastes. Lo que se nos promete hoy en las lecturas es precisamente esa protección y defensa que viene de estar en la ciudad de Dios, en el lugar en que habita el Espíritu. No será familiar, pero habrá algo pero habrá algo común, y es la presencia de Dios en medio del pueblo. La promesa es no dejarnos huérfanos, pero no es de sacarnos del posible conflicto que pueda venir con la variedad. La variedad es precisamente lo que nos da identidad y nos saca de la amenaza de una monotonía en la que no sabríamos cuáles son los referentes. A veces no es fácil, como no lo fue para los primeros cristianos el aceptar la diferencia de los gentiles convertidos. Los que ya estaban en la comunidad como judíos se aferran, casi lógicamente, a sus tradiciones y costumbres. No es de extrañar. ¿Acaso nosotros no haríamos lo mismo? Pero llegan a darse cuenta de que es por el poder del Espíritu que pueden de verdad ser comunidad de Cristo en la variedad. Que lo que los une no es la diversidad de tradiciones culturales o familiares, sino el Espíritu. A veces el entenderse puede ser difícil. Todos tenemos experiencias de esto. Lo distinto puede ser amenazador y nos puede costar mucho entrar en ello. Lo desconocido casi siempre en el mismo grupo, hablando de lo mismo y en el mismo idioma..pero eso no nos saca de nosotros mismos, no nos obliga tanto a la reflexión, y no nos desafía a ser mejores y a dar de nosotros mismos. La ciudad de Dios es gloriosa, sí, pero también pide una entrega por nuestra parte..a todos y no sólo a quienes son iguales a nosotros.
La Reflexión
¿Qué tensiones se dan en mi comunidad respecto a la diversidad? ¿Qué me es más fácil: estar con los que son sólo como yo o salir de mí mismo? ¿Qué tendría que hacer?
