Magnanimous Musings of Fr. John Robert Skeldon
The following is Pope Francis’ homily for Palm Sunday 2014. It is well
worth reading and reflecting upon. What he says, I have always believed.
The passion narrative is meant to make us think about an important insight: any one of us could be anybody in the passion narrative. Let’s pray on what the pope says:
This week begins with the festive procession with olive branches: the entire populace welcomes Jesus.
The children and young people sing, praising Jesus.
But this week continues in the mystery of Jesus’ death and his resurrection. We have just listened to the
Passion of our Lord. We might well ask ourselves just one question: Who am I? Who am I, before my
Lord? Who am I, before Jesus who enters Jerusalem amid the enthusiasm of the crowd? Am I ready to
express my joy, to praise him? Or do I stand back? Who am I, before the suffering Jesus?
We have just heard many, many names. The group of leaders, some priests, the Pharisees, the teachers of
the law, who had decided to kill Jesus. They were waiting for the chance to arrest him. Am I like one of
them?
We have also heard another name: Judas. Thirty pieces of silver. Am I like Judas? We have heard other
names too: the disciples who understand nothing, who fell asleep while the Lord was suffering. Has my
life fallen asleep? Or am I like the disciples, who did not realize what it was to betray Jesus? Or like that
other disciple, who wanted to settle everything with a sword? Am I like them? Am I like Judas, who
feigns love and then kisses the Master in order to hand him over, to betray him? Am I a traitor? Am I like
those people in power who hastily summon a tribunal and seek false witnesses: am I like them? And
when I do these things, if I do them, do I think that in this way I am saving the people?
Am I like Pilate? When I see that the situation is difficult, do I wash my hands and dodge my responsibility, allowing people to be condemned – or condemning them myself?
Am I like that crowd which was not sure whether they were at a religious meeting, a trial or a circus, and
then chose Barabbas? For them it was all the same: it was more entertaining to humiliate Jesus.
Am I like the soldiers who strike the Lord, spit on him, insult him, who find entertainment in humiliating
him?
Am I like the Cyrenean, who was returning from work, weary, yet was good enough to help the Lord carry his cross?
Am I like those who walked by the cross and mocked Jesus: “He was so courageous! Let him come down
from the cross and then we will believe in him!”. Mocking Jesus….
Am I like those fearless women, and like the mother of Jesus, who were there, and who suffered in silence?
Am I like Joseph, the hidden disciple, who lovingly carries the body of Jesus to give it burial?
Am I like the two Marys, who remained at the Tomb, weeping and praying?
Am I like those leaders who went the next day to Pilate and said, “Look, this man said that he was going
to rise again. We cannot let another fraud take place!”, and who block life, who block the tomb, in order
to maintain doctrine, lest life come forth?
Where is my heart? Which of these persons am I like? May this question remain with us throughout the
entire week.
“Create a clean heart in me, O God.”
Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Robert Skeldon
La siguiente es la homilía del Papa Francisco para el Domingo de Ramos
de 2014. Vale la pena leer y reflexionar sobre esto. Lo que expresa, siempre
lo he creído. La narración de la pasión tiene la intención de hacernos pensar
en una idea importante: cualquiera de nosotros podría ser alguien en la
narración de la pasión. Vamos a orar sobre lo que dice el Papa:
Esta semana comienza con una procesión festiva con ramos de olivo: todo el pueblo acoge a Jesús. Los
niños y los jóvenes cantan, alaban a Jesús.
Pero esta semana se encamina hacia el misterio de la muerte de Jesús y de su resurrección. Hemos escuchado la Pasión del Señor. Nos hará bien hacernos una sola pregunta: ¿Quién soy yo? ¿Quién soy yo ante
mi Señor? ¿Quién soy yo ante Jesús que entra con fiesta en Jerusalén? ¿Soy capaz de expresar mi alegría,
de alabarlo? ¿O guardo las distancias? ¿Quién soy yo ante Jesús que sufre?
Hemos oído muchos nombres, tantos nombres. El grupo de dirigentes religiosos, algunos sacerdotes, algunos fariseos, algunos maestros de la ley, que habían decidido matarlo. Estaban esperando la oportunidad de apresarlo. ¿Soy yo como uno de ellos?
También hemos oído otro nombre: Judas. Treinta monedas. ¿Yo soy como Judas? Hemos escuchado
otros nombres: los discípulos que no entendían nada, que se durmieron mientras el Señor sufría. Mi vida,
¿está adormecida? ¿O soy como los discípulos, que no entendían lo que significaba traicionar a Jesús? ¿O
como aquel otro discípulo que quería resolverlo todo con la espada? ¿Soy yo como ellos? ¿Soy yo como
Judas, que finge amar y besa al Maestro para entregarlo, para traicionarlo? ¿Soy yo, un traidor? ¿Soy como aquellos dirigentes que organizan a toda prisa un tribunal y buscan falsos testigos? ¿Soy como ellos?
Y cuando hago esto, si lo hago, ¿creo que de este modo salvo al pueblo?
¿Soy yo como Pilato? Cuando veo que la situación se pone difícil, ¿me lavo las manos y no sé asumir mi
responsabilidad, dejando que condenen – o condenando yo mismo – a las personas?
¿Soy yo como aquel gentío que no sabía bien si se trataba de una reunión religiosa, de un juicio o de un
circo, y que elige a Barrabás? Para ellos da igual: era más divertido, para humillar a Jesús.
¿Soy como los soldados que golpean al Señor, le escupen, lo insultan, se divierten humillando al Señor?
¿Soy como el Cireneo, que volvía del trabajo, cansado, pero que tuvo la buena voluntad de ayudar al Señor a llevar la cruz?
¿Soy como aquellos que pasaban ante la cruz y se burlaban de Jesús : «¡Él era tan valiente!... Que baje de
la cruz y creeremos en él»? Mofarse de Jesús...
¿Soy yo como aquellas mujeres valientes, y como la Madre de Jesús, que estaban allí y sufrían en silencio?
¿Soy como José, el discípulo escondido, que lleva el cuerpo de Jesús con amor para enterrarlo?
¿Soy como las dos Marías que permanecen ante el sepulcro llorando y rezando?
¿Soy como aquellos jefes que al día siguiente fueron a Pilato para decirle: «Mira que éste ha dicho que
resucitaría. Que no haya otro engaño», y bloquean la vida, bloquean el sepulcro para defender la doctrina,
para que no salte fuera la vida?
¿Dónde está mi corazón? ¿A cuál de estas personas me parezco? Que esta pregunta nos acompañe durante toda la semana.
