Mi casa es casa de oracion

Lc 19, 45-48

Aquel día, Jesús entró en el templo y comenzó a echar fuera a los que vendían y compraban allí, diciéndoles: "Está escrito: Mi casa es casa de oración; pero ustedes la han convertido en cueva de ladrones".

Jesús enseñaba todos los días en el templo. Por su parte, los sumos sacerdotes, los escribas y los jefes del pueblo, intentaban matarlo, pero no encontraban cómo hacerlo, porque todo el pueblo estaba pendiente de sus palabras.

GospelLK 19:45-48

Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out
those who were selling things, saying to them,
"It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer,
but you have made it a den of thieves."
And every day he was teaching in the temple area.
The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile,
were seeking to put him to death,
but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose
because all the people were hanging on his words.

Meditacion:

"Mi casa será una casa de oración; pero ustedes han hecho de ella una cueva de ladrones". (Lucas 19, 46)

Leer esto a la luz de los recientes escandalos financieros en el que esta envuelto muchas Iglesias la verdad, produce dolor.

Muchas denominaciones usan la religion para traficar, para vender y comprar y en nombre de la Iglesia incluso se ha matado y exterminado minorias. 

Pareciera que Jesus y su legado sigue produciendo revoluciones alli donde va.

Pero la unica revolucion que Jesus nos pide es el amor mutuo, reconociendo que todos somos pecadores y que todos somos hijos de Dios.

Dentro de unos dias comenzaremos Adviento, seria una muy buena idea ir a confesarnos antes de Adviento para comenzar una nueva etapa del año liturgico  reconciliado con nuestra Iglesia.

Amen

"My house will be a house of prayer; but you have made it a cave of thieves." (Luke 19, 46)

Reading this in light of the recent financial scandals in which many Churches are involved, the truth causes pain.

Many denominations use religion to traffic, to sell and buy and in the name of the Church minorities have even been killed and exterminated.

It seems that Jesus and his legacy continue to produce revolutions wherever he goes.

But the only revolution Jesus asks us is mutual love, recognizing that we are all sinners and that we are all children of God.

In a few days we will begin Advent, it would be a very good idea to go to confession before Advent to begin a new stage of the liturgical year reconciled with our Church.

Amen
