ALENTAR UN ENTENDIMIENTO MÁS
              PROFUNDO DE LA ESCRITURA
                 3 de octubre de 2021
           27º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

      Hoy el contenido de las lecturas enfatiza tres
      temas: matrimonio, divorcio y fidelidad. Toda
      la liturgia de la Palabra se desarrolla en torno
      a esta delicada situación: el matrimonio que
      no es desechable ni fácil de cambiar. Muy a
      pesar de que en ocasiones se piensa que es
      cosa del pasado. El tema que es muy delicado
      lo aborda el mismo Jesús en el Evangelio, y lo
      clarifica aún más a sus discípulos en privado,
      para que no exista duda. “Lo que Dios ha uni-
      do, que el hombre no lo separe” (Mateo 10:9).
      El énfasis debe estar en la fidelidad del uno
      para con el otro.

      Lo que Dios unió, que no lo separe el hombre.
      Ni los padres de familia que están en contra
      del matrimonio de su hija o hijo. Ni las desave-
      nencias de los conyugues en la vida de todos
      los días. Ni la falta de amor y diálogo en el ma-
      trimonio y la familia en general. Ni los amigos
      del esposo ni las amigas de ella. Nadie lo pue-
      de hacer porque, sencillamente, es un Sacra-
      mento instituido por Dios. El papa Francisco
      nos dice lo siguiente al respecto: “En el proyec-
      to originario del Creador, se trata de un hom-
      bre y una mujer llamados a reconocerse, a
      completarse, a ayudarse mutuamente en el
      matrimonio. Esta enseñanza de Jesús es muy
      clara y defiende la dignidad del matrimonio
      como una unión de amor que implica fidelidad.
      (Octubre 7- 2018). “Por eso dejará el hombre a
      su padre y a su madre para unirse con su espo-
      sa, y los dos serán una sola carne”. (Mateo
      10:7). Que al participar en esta Eucaristía do-
      minical nos ayude a crecer en fidelidad para
      ser ejemplo de vida a los que nos rodean, es-
      pecialmente en casa.
