Salvation through commitment. The First Reading was written shortly after the
return from the Babylonian exile. We hear how God will reach out to all nations,
for Yahweh is the only God, and therefore, the God of all people. He will bring
them to His holy city and make them part of His holy people. They will even be
invited to be priests and serve God in His holy temple. The Responsorial
continues the theme of God reaching out to all the peoples of the earth. Until
now, only the Israelites experienced God’s kindness and fidelity. The Hebrew
word for kindness (hesed) means the love God expresses in His covenant. The
word for fidelity (emet) means the truthfulness and loyalty God shows by
keeping His promises. In the Second Reading, St Paul speaks of the discipline the
Lord uses with those He loves, because like a parent does with a child, it is in the
child’s (our own) best interests that He does so. If a child is not punished, he
may not learn to distinguish right from wrong, a form of child abuse. Hence we,
like children, need clear boundaries to develop a balanced moral life. In today’s
Gospel, Jesus cautions the “chosen” people, for many who consider themselves
to be chosen will find themselves excluded at final judgment, while many who
are considered excluded (the Gentiles) will be part of the promise (invited to
recline at the table of the heavenly banquet). Jesus tends to speak in a Middle
Eastern manner, which although contradictory, both opposing verses are true.
When He says that few will be saved He is emphasizing that to enter the
Kingdom is not like belonging to a club, rather it is a question of committing
oneself to the Kingdom at all costs. May we live our love for Him with this kind
of commitment.

La salvación por medio del compromiso. La Primera Lectura fue escrita poco
después del regreso del exilio de Babilonia. Escuchamos como Dios se extenderá a todas las naciones, ya que Yavé es el único Dios, y así, el Dios de todos. Él
les traerá Su santa ciudad y les hará parte de Su santo pueblo. u El Responsorial
continúa el tema de Dios estrechándose a los pueblos de la tierra. Hasta ahora,
sólo los Israelitas habían presenciado la bondad y fidelidad de Dios. La palabra
Hebrea para bondad (hesed) significa el amor que Dios expresa en su convenio.
La palabra para fidelidad (emef) significa la verdad y lealtad que Dios muestra al
cumplir Sus promesas. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús advierte al pueblo
“escogido”, puesto que muchos de los que se creen escogidos se encontrarán excluidos del juicio final, y muchos de los que se consideran excluidos (los Gentiles) serán parte de la promesa (invitados a reclinarse en el banquete celestial).
Jesús tiende a hablar en la forma del Medio Este, que aunque es contradictoria,
los versos negativos también son verdaderos. Cuando dice que pocos serán salvados, enfatiza que para entrar al Reino no es como pertenecer a un club, sino
que es una pregunta de comprometerse al Reino sin importar los costos. Que vivamos nuestro amor por Él con esta clase de compromiso.
