2Ki. 5, 1-15;
Sal 41;
Lc. 4, 24-30
not always understand God's action need not necessarily be as we wish or imagine it. It is the work of God is beyond us for what or who we are before the infinite mystery of God? Besides the love of God overwhelms us because our love is always very limited, and really what we should do is look at our love of God.
disconcerting Jesus of Nazareth the people because there is not a miracle as they would like as well basically what they want is very proud to say that he does all those wonderful things is there, is one of them. Often the other hand we see the Pharisees and simply asking people extraordinary and wonderful things and act the way Jesus is another. If miracles do driven by love and you see how many times even tells those who have benefited from his miracles or healings do not say anything to anyone.
So now they feel embarrassed when reminded of the healing of the leprosy of Naaman, who was a Syrian, a pagan, while there were many lepers in Israel in Elisha's time, or were many widows in Israel and yet Elijah who is served and benefits to a widow in Zarephath in Sidon, which was Phoenician. Other hand is pointing to the salvation that Jesus comes to offer beyond those miracles he performs, not just for the people of Israel but to all peoples and all nations and all peoples.
precisely The first reading has given us the cure Naaman of his leprosy by the prophet Elisha. Another case is expecting extraordinary and wonderful gestures that make him doubt and protest Naaman the leper, and was chief of the armies of the king of Syria thought maybe with the right of Elisha appear before him perform miraculous gestures that would heal the leprosy.
The things of God nor can we demand from what we call our human rights, we need not always look for extra stuff. God comes to us many times in a very quiet there in the silence of our hearts, or we speak through small gestures or signs where we discover that faith to know that act of God.
Naaman's servants who convinced him that if he had agreed to do extraordinary things that the prophet would have asked, why not make these small and humble gestures of bathing as requested the prophet in the not so spectacular river Jordan.
When this man walks the path of humility and simplicity is going to feel this act of God in their lives. Then I want to acknowledge and thank offering gifts to Elisha that he does not accept. Is the path that we have to learn to go to go to God.
Highway humility where our horses down to us from arrogance and conceit. Ways of humility and simplicity that have to be very full of love. Paths of humility where we open our hearts to God in total availability to discover its presence there to know what He wants manifestársenos and learn to hear and see in these signs and we will leave traces of their presence. These are the roads that lead us to God.
In the psalm we said 'my soul thirsts for the living God, when will come in to see the face of God? " For these ways of love, humility, simplicity and poverty we can get closer to God and we know God. Purify our hearts of all pride and arrogance to know God, to be satisfied with God.
