“Estaba todavía lejos, cuando su padre lo vio y se enterneció profundamente. Corrió hacia él, y echándole
                                  los brazos al cuello, lo cubrió de besos”.
La parábola del hijo prodigo, el Padre misericordioso o como Benedicto XVI la llama, es la parábola
preferida por muchos, ya que en esta parábola se refleja hasta “donde llega la Misericordia de Dios”,
aunque la Misericordia de Dios no tiene limites. La imagen del hijo que le pide todo lo que le correspondía
a su Padre, nos muestra lo más cruel que pueden tener los hijos con respecto a sus padres. Que un hijo le
pida a un padre la parte de la herencia que le corresponde, es como decirle al Padre que se muera. Pedir
la herencia en vida puede ser muy duro para un padre que nunca esperará, aunque le dejará todo a sus
hijos, que un hijo le pida lo que le corresponde “en vida”. Esta situación muy dolorosa para muchos
padres es muy actual, todos los días escucho sobre esto . Pero mirando el Evangelio me quiero detener en
una imagen que para mi siempre fue fuerte; es la siguiente: Estaba todavía lejos, cuando su padre lo vio
y se enterneció profundamente. Corrió hacia él, y echándole los brazos al cuello, lo cubrió de besos. Esto
es lo que nos interpela, el Padre nunca dudo en manifestar su amor a su hijo, podemos ver como el Padre
no duda en “correr entristecido”, el Padre corre, la unidad que hay entre ambos hace que el Padre sea atraído, movido y no se
demore en ponerse en camino para saber que ha pasado todo este tiempo con el hijo; No es el hijo el que reacciona sino el Padre.
El Padre es movido por el amor profundo. El padre se le “hecha a su cuello”, el signo del abrazo que manifiesta la profundidad del
amor de una personas hacia otra, el padre lo abraza, el abrazo ha sido siempre entrelazar corazones, el abrazo es decirle al otro
todo estará bien y yo estoy contigo, esto no es un concepto, es mi experiencia, la experiencia del abrazo sana las heridas
provocadas por la vida y sostiene, aunque el otro no se de cuenta, de las sombras propias de la vida, de las heridas ocasionadas
por el caminar cotidiano, el hijo estaba herido, no necesitaba palabras, necesitaba un abrazo que le haga experimentar que todo
va a cambiar, el abrazo del Padre tiene un sentido profundo de sanación. Frente a esto el Hijo toma consciencia de su miseria, hay
un movimiento en el corazón del hijo que no podemos entender pero si definir: es el movimiento de la sanación porque el hijo no
está siendo sometido a un juicio sino a un acto de amor que mueve el corazón del joven imprudente. Pero esto dejará un antes y
un después en la vida de este joven. Porque a pesar de su miseria el joven ahora no arriesgará más perder lo que realmente tiene
un valor importante y objetivo: su Padre.
         Creo que estamos llamados a mirar esta imagen del hijo prodigo en Lucas 15 y darnos cuenta de hasta donde quiere
llegar el amor de Dios en nuestras vidas. Este amor es el que no tiene limites. Es un amor que trasciende toda barrera que
podamos imaginar. Pero así es el Padre, el no escatima nada, no se reserva nada, solo sale a nuestro encuentro y nos ama de una
forma particular y esta forma particular es la del Padre. Ama, pero sin limites. Dios te bendiga, rezo por ti. Padre Julio.

                                              Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma. Lc 13; 1-9.
En aquel tiempo, se acercaban a Jesús los publicanos y los pecadores para escucharlo. Por lo cual los fariseos y los escribas
murmuraban entre sí: “Éste recibe a los pecadores y come con ellos”.
Jesús les dijo entonces esta parábola: “Un hombre tenía dos hijos, y el menor de ellos le dijo a su padre: ‘Padre, dame la parte de
la herencia que me toca’. Y él les repartió los bienes. No muchos días después, el hijo menor, juntando todo lo suyo, se fue a un
país lejano y allá derrochó su fortuna, viviendo de una manera disoluta. Después de malgastarlo todo, sobrevino en aquella región
una gran hambre y él empezó a padecer necesidad. Entonces fue a pedirle trabajo a un habitante de aquel país, el cual lo mandó
a sus campos a cuidar cerdos. Tenía ganas de hartarse con las bellotas que comían los cerdos, pero no lo dejaban que se las
comiera. Se puso entonces a reflexionar y se dijo: ‘¡Cuántos trabajadores en casa de mi padre tienen pan de sobra, y yo, aquí, me
estoy muriendo de hambre! Me levantaré, volveré a mi padre y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo y contra ti; ya no merezco
llamarme hijo tuyo. Recíbeme como a uno de tus trabajadores’. Enseguida se puso en camino hacia la casa de su padre. Estaba
todavía lejos, cuando su padre lo vio y se enterneció profundamente. Corrió hacia él, y echándole los brazos al cuello, lo cubrió de
besos. El muchacho le dijo: ‘Padre, he pecado contra el cielo y contra ti; ya no merezco llamarme hijo tuyo’. Pero el padre les dijo a
sus criados: ‘¡Pronto!, traigan la túnica más rica y vístansela; pónganle un anillo en el dedo y sandalias en los pies; traigan el
becerro gordo y mátenlo. Comamos y hagamos una fiesta, porque este hijo mío estaba muerto y ha vuelto a la vida, estaba perdido
y lo hemos encontrado’. Y empezó el banquete. El hijo mayor estaba en el campo y al volver, cuando se acercó a la casa, oyó la
música y los cantos. Entonces llamó a uno de los criados y le preguntó qué pasaba. Éste le contestó: ‘Tu hermano ha regresado y
tu padre mandó matar el becerro gordo, por haberlo recobrado sano y salvo’. El hermano mayor se enojó y no quería entrar.
Salió entonces el padre y le rogó que entrara; pero él replicó: ‘¡Hace tanto tiempo que te sirvo, sin desobedecer jamás una orden
tuya, y tú no me has dado nunca ni un cabrito para comérmelo con mis amigos! Pero eso sí, viene ese hijo tuyo, que despilfarró tus
bienes con malas mujeres, y tú mandas matar el becerro gordo’. El padre repuso: ‘Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo y todo lo mío es
tuyo. Pero era necesario hacer fiesta y regocijarnos, porque este hermano tuyo estaba muerto y ha vuelto a la vida, estaba perdido
y lo hemos encontrado”.
