Jn 3, 1-8
Había un fariseo llamado Nicodemo, hombre principal entre los judíos, que fue de noche a ver a Jesús y le dijo: "Maestro, sabemos que has venido de parte de Dios, como maestro; porque nadie puede hacer los signos que tú haces, si Dios no está con él".
Jesús le contestó: "Yo te aseguro que quien no renace de lo alto, no puede ver el Reino de Dios". Nicodemo le preguntó: "¿Cómo puede nacer un hombre siendo ya viejo? ¿Acaso puede, por segunda vez, entrar en el vientre de su madre y volver a nacer?"
Le respondió Jesús: "Yo te aseguro que el que no nace del agua y del Espíritu, no puede entrar en el Reino de Dios. Lo que nace de la carne, es carne; lo que nace del Espíritu, es espíritu. No te extrañes de que te haya dicho: 'Tienen que renacer de lo alto'. El viento sopla donde quiere y oyes su ruido, pero no sabes de dónde viene ni a dónde va. Así pasa con quien ha nacido del Espíritu".
Jesús le contestó: "Yo te aseguro que quien no renace de lo alto, no puede ver el Reino de Dios". Nicodemo le preguntó: "¿Cómo puede nacer un hombre siendo ya viejo? ¿Acaso puede, por segunda vez, entrar en el vientre de su madre y volver a nacer?"
Le respondió Jesús: "Yo te aseguro que el que no nace del agua y del Espíritu, no puede entrar en el Reino de Dios. Lo que nace de la carne, es carne; lo que nace del Espíritu, es espíritu. No te extrañes de que te haya dicho: 'Tienen que renacer de lo alto'. El viento sopla donde quiere y oyes su ruido, pero no sabes de dónde viene ni a dónde va. Así pasa con quien ha nacido del Espíritu".

GospelJN 3:1-8
There was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
He came to Jesus at night and said to him,
"Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God,
for no one can do these signs that you are doing
unless God is with him."
Jesus answered and said to him,
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless one is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God."
Nicodemus said to him,
"How can a man once grown old be born again?
Surely he cannot reenter his mother's womb and be born again, can he?"
Jesus answered,
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless one is born of water and Spirit
he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
What is born of flesh is flesh
and what is born of spirit is spirit.
Do not be amazed that I told you,
'You must be born from above.'
The wind blows where it wills,
and you can hear the sound it makes,
but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes;
so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
He came to Jesus at night and said to him,

Meditacion:
Son malos tiempos para ser no ya catolico, o cristiano o musulman o judio. Son malos tiempos para ser una persona espiritual.
Una sociedad totalmente laica que rechaza lo espiritual porque no lleva a las personas a incrementar su consumo ha logrado sacar lo peor de muchas personas.
El tiroteo de ayer en una Sinagoga es el ultimo de una cadena horrible de crimenes contra casas de oracion, dejando muertos, heridos, personas traumatizadas, hijos sin padres y padres sin hijos.
En la primera lectura de hoy leemos en el Evangelio que sucedio cuando los primeros apostoles comenzaron a sufrir persecuciones; en el Evangelio, Jesus nos dice "Yo te aseguro que el que no nace del agua y del Espíritu, no puede entrar en el Reino de Dios. Lo que nace de la carne, es carne; lo que nace del Espíritu, es espíritu. No te extrañes de que te haya dicho: 'Tienen que renacer de lo alto'
Este es un tiempo de purificacion, no hay lugar para los tibios de corazon.
Debemos intensificar nuestra oracion, nuestro amor a todos nuestros hermanos como una manera de integrar a todos y no dejar nadie afuera, para que de una vez por todas, ganar esta guerra espiritual entre el bien y el mal.
Los invito a todos a hacer un esfuerzo en cuanto ser mas amables, mas misericordiosos, mas afables y aprender a aceptar nuestras circunstacias como unico camino para poder modificar esta realidad.
Juntos marchemos y construyamos una sociedad responsable, amorosa y fraternal con nuestros hermanos y toda la creacion.
“Jesús, Señor nuestro, concédenos valentía para dar testimonio de que tú eres el Salvador del mundo y el que cura y venda las heridas de los corazones dolidos, que sanas a los enfermos y brindas justicia a los oprimidos.” Amen

These are bad times to be no longer Catholic, or Christian or Muslim or Jewish. These are bad times to be a spiritual person.
A totally secular society that rejects the spiritual because it does not lead people to increase their consumption has managed to bring out the worst in many people.
The shooting of yesterday in a Synagogue is the last of a horrible chain of crimes against houses of prayer, leaving dead, wounded, traumatized people, children without parents and parents without children.
In today's first reading we read in the Gospel that it happened when the first apostles began to suffer persecutions; In the Gospel, Jesus tells us: "I assure you that he who is not born of water and the Spirit can not enter the Kingdom of God, what is born of the flesh is flesh, what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be surprised that he told you: 'They have to be reborn from on high'
This is a time of purification, there is no place for the lukewarm of heart.
We must intensify our prayer, our love to all our brothers as a way to integrate everyone and not leave anyone out, so that once and for all, win this spiritual war between good and evil.
I invite you all to make an effort to be more kind, more merciful, more affable and learn to accept our circumstances as the only way to change this reality.
Together let us march and build a responsible, loving and fraternal society with our brothers and all creation.
"Jesus, our Lord, grant us courage to bear witness that you are the Savior of the world and he who heals and sells the wounds of hurting hearts, who heals the sick and brings justice to the oppressed." Amen
