Mc 3, 1-6
En aquel tiempo, Jesús entró en la sinagoga, donde había un hombre que tenía tullida una mano. Los fariseos estaban espiando a Jesús para ver si curaba en sábado y poderlo acusar. Jesús le dijo al tullido: “Levántate y ponte allí en medio”.
Después les preguntó: “¿Qué es lo que está permitido hacer en sábado, el bien o el mal? ¿Se le puede salvar la vida a un hombre en sábado o hay que dejarlo morir?” Ellos se quedaron callados. Entonces, mirándolos con ira y con tristeza, porque no querían entender, le dijo al hombre: “Extiende tu mano”. La extendió, y su mano quedó sana.
Entonces se fueron los fariseos y comenzaron a hacer planes, con los del partido de Herodes, para matar a Jesús.

GospelMK 3:1-6
Jesus entered the synagogue.
There was a man there who had a withered hand.
They watched Jesus closely
to see if he would cure him on the sabbath
so that they might accuse him.
He said to the man with the withered hand,
“Come up here before us.”
Then he said to the Pharisees,
“Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?”
But they remained silent.
Looking around at them with anger
and grieved at their hardness of heart,
Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.”
He stretched it out and his hand was restored.
The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel
with the Herodians against him to put him to death.

Meditacion:
Ayer estaba viendo un video de un Pastor sobre ecumenismo.
Y me entristecia mucho la energia y el tiempo que este Pastor (muy bien informado sin duda) usaba para explicar como y porque y en que condiciones uno debia ser ecumenico.
El evangelio de hoy nos interpela (a todos) sobre que es mas importante. Hacer el bien o cumplir con las formas?
Yo siempre recuerdo una frase del Presidente Roosevelt durante la segunda guerra mundial "si la casa de mi vecino esta en llamas, voy y le presto una manguera para que apague las llamas". Siempre el bien mayor debe prevalecer.
Y Jesus hace una cosa mas, lo pone en el centro. Como para que nos demos cuenta nosotros quien debe estar en el centro de nuestro corazon. Los pobres, los necesitados, los paraliticos.
Reconocer al otro, sin importarnos su color, su sexo, su creencias politicas o religiosas, porque todos somos de alguna manera, paraliticos llamados al centro por Jesus, es lo importante.
El servicio al otro, la oracion constante, la visita al Santisimo y el rosario a nuestra Madre Maria para que interceda por nosotros, el camino a comprender que nada es mas importante que el amor a Dios y a mis hermanos.
Despues que resolvamos eso, podemos ocuparnos de toda la teologia del mundo.
Es tiempo de encarnar el evangelio en nuestra vida diaria
Y dejarnos de pelear por pequeneces
“Jesús amado y María santísima, ponemos en sus santas manos estas intenciones sabiendo que para Dios no hay nada imposible.” Amen

Yesterday I was watching a video of a Pastor about ecumenism.
And I was very saddened by the energy and time that this Pastor (very knowledgeable without a doubt) used to explain how and why and under what conditions one should be ecumenical.
Today's Gospel questions us (all) about what is most important. Do good or comply with the forms?
I always remember a phrase from President Roosevelt during World War II "If my neighbor's house is on fire, I go and lend him a hose to put out the flames." Always the greatest good must prevail.
And Jesus does one more thing, puts it in the center. As for us to realize who should be in the center of our hearts. The poor, the needy, the paralyzed.
Recognizing the other, regardless of their color, their sex, their political or religious beliefs, because we are all in some way, paralytic called to the center by Jesus, is the important thing.
The service to the other, the constant prayer, the visit to the Blessed Sacrament and the rosary to our Mother Mary to intercede for us, the way to understand that nothing is more important than the love of God and my brothers.
After we solve that, we can deal with all the theology of the world.
It is time to embody the gospel in our daily lives
And stop fighting for little things
"Beloved Jesus and Blessed Mary, we place these intentions in your holy hands knowing that there is nothing impossible for God." Amen
