La puerta estrecha

XXI Domingo ordinario

“Esforzaos en entrar por la puerta estrecha. Os digo que muchos intentarán entrar y no podrán. Cuando el amo de la casa se levante y cierre la puerta, os quedaréis fuera y llamaréis a la puerta, diciendo: “Señor, ábrenos”, y él os replicará: “No sé quiénes sois” Lc 13, 22-30

Las dos puertas

Mientras Jesús va recorriendo las aldeas, predicando el reino de Dios a las gentes, un hombre se le acerca y le pregunta: “¿Serán pocos los que se salven?”. Esa pregunta nos aguijonea aún hoy. En realidad, podría traducirse por un: ¿Me salvaré yo? ¿Podré entrar por esa puerta angosta hacia el banquete del Señor? ¿Serán pocas las personas que entren?

Jesús advierte que muchos querrán entrar por esa puerta y no podrán. “Esforzaos”, dice. Parece difícil acceder. Y es así, porque el Reino de Dios pide exigencia, sacrificio, entrega. ¿Estamos verdaderamente abiertos a los que nos pide Dios?

Esa puerta estrecha, paradójicamente, nos abre un horizonte inmenso. Es la puerta de la generosidad, el corazón abierto y magnánimo. Atravesar la puerta estrecha exige esfuerzo y renuncia de uno mismo. Su paso no es fácil pero, una vez traspasada, nos conduce al cielo.

En cambio, la puerta ancha es engañosa. Es la entrada al egoísmo, a la soberbia, a la frivolidad y al orgullo. Es una puerta fácil de franquear, pero una vez se ha cruzado, nos conduce al abismo.

Heredar la fe no basta

Los cristianos bautizados, que formamos una comunidad y cumplimos nuestros preceptos, ¿nos salvaremos? Tal vez este interrogante nos inquieta. No es suficiente recibir una herencia cristiana. Nuestras creencias adquiridas no bastan para alcanzar el cielo. Así lo sentían los antiguos judíos, que sabiéndose herederos de Abraham y Moisés, pensaban que tenían la salvación garantizada y se creían el pueblo salvado, frente a otros destinados a condenarse. Pero Dios pide algo más que una rutina religiosa o el cumplimiento de unas leyes. El sí a Dios es algo más que cumplir. Es una vocación actualizada diariamente, personal, íntima y profunda. Ser bautizado no asegura el tíquet para la eternidad. Es necesario cultivar nuestra relación con Dios, de tú a tú.

De la misma manera que un matrimonio ha de darse un sí cada día, renovando su amor constantemente, nuestra vocación cristiana nos pide unión con el Padre, dándole nuestro sí cada día.

La vocación cristiana ha de estar estrechamente ligada con todas las facetas de nuestra vida. No podemos separar nuestra vida religiosa de nuestra vida profesional. Estamos llamados a ser testimonios de Jesucristo en medio del mundo. ¿Somos realmente cristianos en nuestro proceder, en nuestro ámbito laboral, en nuestra ciudad? ¿Somos capaces de testimoniar nuestra fe más allá del cumplimiento de los preceptos religiosos?

El día que debamos atravesar esa puerta, en el final de nuestra vida, Dios nos conocerá si hemos sabido dar ese paso más allá de la fe heredada. Nos conocerá si somos sus amigos, si hemos buscado esa experiencia íntima con él y hemos cultivado una rica vida interior. Si hemos vivido como criaturas de Dios, sintiendo su paternidad y su amor sobre nosotros, acercándonos a su corazón, ¿cómo no va a reconocernos?

Hay últimos que serán primeros

Tenemos ante nosotros un reto: replantear cómo vivimos nuestra fe y cómo transformamos en vivencia cotidiana aquello que creemos.

Si hemos participado de la eucaristía pero no hemos vibrado con ella, no nos hemos dejado interpelar, no hemos sintonizado con Dios ni con la comunidad, tal vez llegado el momento seamos unos “desconocidos” ante la puerta del cielo. Y vendrá gente de afuera, que realmente ha conformado su vida según Dios, y el amo de la casa les abrirá la puerta. “Hay últimos que serán primeros, y primeros que serán últimos”, avisa Jesús.

Quizás muchas personas, que por prejuicios o ideas erróneas consideramos indignas del reino de Dios, pasarán por delante de nosotros. Salgamos de esa mentalidad competitiva social y económica. Alerta ante el orgullo, la petulancia, la vanagloria. Tal vez Dios nos pondrá a la cola, aún cuando creamos ser los primeros. De ahí la importancia de ser humildes, sencillos, atentos con los demás, capaces de perdonar siempre.

Veamos más allá de nosotros mismos y de nuestras percepciones particulares. Sepamos mirar al otro –el inmigrante, el desconocido, aquel que no nos cae bien… Ellos son el prójimo a quien amar. Pues si sólo amamos a quienes nos aman, o a quienes guardamos simpatía o cariño, ¿qué mérito tenemos?, nos recuerda el evangelio de Juan. Estamos llamados a vivir la caridad, y ésta se manifiesta con más fuerza que nunca cuando somos capaces de amar al enemigo. Es decir, cuando sabemos amar y perdonar a quienes nos guardan rencor y hacia quienes abrigamos aversión. Nuestro esfuerzo por perdonar y olvidar, nuestra capacidad de escuchar, de atender, con ternura, de mostrar misericordia, todas estas cosas nos ayudarán a cruzar esa puerta estrecha. Entonces habremos cumplido el anhelo incesante de todo ser humano: encontrarnos con el Creador en un abrazo para siempre.

Despite the release of Windows Phone 8 in October, Microsoft
still has long way to go to catch up to Apple and Google
inthe mobile market. And in the firm's latest ad campaign, it shows. Look at the design of a case before purchasing it. A high quality case features a sturdy design. This is custom made to ensure it gives your phone enhanced protection against impact from a fall, scratches, water, spills as well as dust and dirt. Whats more, a good design is flexible. This means it enables you to keep your phone and remove it with ease when need arise. A good and flexible case also enables you to access a wide range of applications with ease. This is an incredible feature because it helps to protect the phone from sweaty hands, dust and dirt. http://Intuitive-Advice.com/Devin8855 Price The $199.99 price tag for the Titan II is reasonable by today's smartphone standards, with many high-end phones coming in at between $200 and $300 with a two-year contract.
The Lumia 900, at $99.99, however, is a steal. Pricing decisions are
negotiated between the carrier and manufacturer, and
with the Lumia 900, that means that both have aggressively driven down the Lumia 900's initial asking price. Your Workout Will Improve When you focus your mind on the exercise of walking rather than on your cell phone, your work out will likely improve compared to a walk that is partially focused on the screen of your smart phone. Your workout improves as you put more mental and physical energy into your movements. When you concentrate your efforts on your body rather than on the cell phone, you are likely to get better results. If you are walking as part of your fitness goals to lose weight, you are well on your way!

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and
gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally
off topic but I had to tell someone!
