Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Robert Skeldon
El lunes 6 de octubre, el evangelio de la misa diaria era la famosa parábola del buen
samaritano del evangelio de San Lucas, capítulo 10. Esta lectura se ha convertido en una
parte tan común de nuestra conciencia que ha perdido el sentido que tenía como cuando la
escuchamos por primera vez. El Diacono John Coe predicó una homilía que capturó ese
reto, que habría provocado a los primeros oyentes de Jesús y que también nos provoca hoy.
Eso es algo bueno. Se ha dicho de diferentes maneras: "El evangelio es para consolar a los afligidos y afligir a los complacidos.
"Prepárese para ser reconfortado y afligido al mismo tiempo, al oír nuevamente la Parábola del Buen Samaritano, por primera vez.
La homilía del Diacon John Coe dice:
Jesús respondió al estudioso que su comprensión de la ley era correcta: Ama a Dios sobre todas las cosas; y ama a tu prójimo como
a ti mismo. Y por lo que el estudioso, para justificarse, preguntó a Jesús: "¿Y quién es mi prójimo?" Estoy seguro que has oído esta
historia tantas veces que me la podrías recitar de memoria. Tantas veces, que puede haber perdido el origen que tenía cuando Jesús
dijo esta parábola por primera vez al maestro de la Ley, hace casi dos mil años. Jesús, ¿quién es mi prójimo? Había un niño que
vivía en los proyectos en San Salvador. Estaba siendo reclutado por las pandillas. Yo he visto esos barrios; y conocí a un par de los
miembros de esas pandillas, durante mi reciente viaje de inmersión misionera a El Salvador, con Maryknoll. Los líderes de la pandilla dijeron al niño que iban a violar a su hermana si no se unía a la pandilla. Pero sabía que una vez que se mezclara con las pandillas, nunca recuperaría su vida. Así que su madre se los entregó a un contrabandista, junto con todos los ahorros de su vida. Ellos
viajaron a través de El Salvador y Guatemala en camionetas y autobuses. Continuaron al norte, deslizándose ilegalmente a través
de la frontera de México. En México, por primera vez viajaron a pie hasta que llegaron a unas vias de ferrocarril. Luego se subieron a un tren de carga, un tren llamado “La Bestia” - o “El Tren de la Muerte”. Ellos se subieron en los carros del tren en movimiento. Si hubieran caído del tren, probablemente se hubieran matado. Hubo que pagar sobornos en el camino. Y había otros peligros que evitar, incluyendo asaltos, violación y robo. Llegaron a la ciudad de Reynosa, México, y desde allí continuaron al norte,
cruzando el Río Bravo en la noche - que llamamos el Rio Grande - y luego siguieron hacia Hidalgo, Texas, antes de ser abandonados por el contrabandista. Cuando la Patrulla Fronteriza los encontró doce horas más tarde, estaban agotados y muy deshidratados.
Sus cuerpos fueron golpeados y magullados. Habían perdido mucho peso. Tenían hambre. No eran más que dos niños; pero eran
parte de una oleada de miles de niños que huían de la violencia de sus países de origen en América Central. Irónicamente, habían
huido a la nación que había apoyado a los gobiernos corruptos en sus países durante tantos años; políticas y gobiernos que han
creado las condiciones de las que estaban ahora obligados a escapar. Un senador escucho la historia en las noticias. De hecho, realmente no se podía evitar oírla. Exigió que la ley cambiara de manera que los niños refugiados pudieran ser deportados de inmediato a sus respectivos países. Él era un firme defensor de la ley, e insistió en que era la única alternativa para que las leyes del país
fueran respetadas. Siempre añadió, sin embargo, que él apoya la inmigración legal. Del mismo modo, un programa de radio con
muchos oyentes se interesó por la historia. Él criticó a Caridades Católicas, porque estaban recaudando dinero en su ciudad para
ayudar a los niños. A menudo él dice a sus oyentes que él es un cristiano devoto, y habla de su Iglesia en particular. Pero argumentó que el alimentar y vestir a los niños no acompañados que llegaron aquí en busca de refugio sólo va a animar a más niños a hacer
el mismo viaje peligroso hacia el norte. La respuesta más cristiana, insistió, era no ayudar a estos niños en ninguna forma.
Pero una mujer musulmana se encontró con una historia sobre los niños, y fue movida por la compasión. Se enteró de que había un
refugio de inmigrantes jóvenes en su ciudad; y fue allí para ver cómo podía ayudar. Ella sacó su chequera, e hizo una donación.
Ella escribió una carta a su congresista, abogando por un trato justo para los niños. Y después ella se ofreció como voluntaria para
ayudar en el refugio durante el día. Ella pasa dos horas allí, cuatro días a la semana, sólo ayudando en cualquier manera que puede.
A veces ella limpia los baños, y pone sábanas limpias en las camas. Los jueves, ella trabaja en la cafetería, en el suministro de comidas para los niños. Y siempre, encuentra tiempo para hablar con los niños, para consolarlos, y simplemente estar con ellos.
¿Cuál de estos tres te parece que fue prójimo para los niños?

Magnanimous Musings from Fr. John Robert Skeldon
On Monday, October 6th, the gospel for the daily mass was the famous parable of the Good
Samaritan from the gospel of Luke, chapter 10. It has become such a part of our consciousness
that it has lost its gritty edge when it was first heard. Deacon John Coe preached a homily which
captured that challenge that would have provoked Jesus' first hearers and also provokes us. That
is a good thing. It has been said in different ways: "The gospel is meant to comfort the afflicted
and to afflict the comfortable." Prepare to be both comforted and afflicted. Hear the Parable of the Good Samaritan again for the
first time. Deacon John Coe's homily follows:
Jesus replied to the scholar that his understanding of the law was correct: Love God above all; and love your neighbor as yourself.
And so the scholar, in order to justify himself, asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
I’m sure you’ve heard this story so many times that you could recite it to me from memory. So many times, that it may have lost
the edge that it had when Jesus first told this parable to that scholar of the law, almost two thousand years ago.
Jesus, who is my neighbor?
There was a boy who lived in the projects in San Salvador. He was being recruited by the gangs. I have seen those neighborhoods
myself; and I met a couple of the gang members, during my recent mission immersion trip to El Salvador, with Maryknoll. The
gang leaders told the boy that they would rape his sister if he did not join. But he knew that once he got mixed up with the gangs,
he would never get his life back.
So their mother turned them over to a smuggler, along with all of her life’s savings. They made their way through El Salvador and
into Guatemala in vans and buses. They continued north, slipping illegally across the border into Mexico. In Mexico, they first
travelled on foot until they came to a railroad line. Then they hopped on a freight train, a train called La Bestia (“ The Beast” ) -- or
El Tren de la Muerte” (“ The Death Train” ). They rode atop the moving cars. If they had fallen off the train, they would probably
have been killed. There were bribes to be paid along the way. And there were other dangers to be avoided, including assault, rape,
and robbery. They reached the city of Reynosa, Mexico, and from there they continued north, crossing the Rio Bravo at night -the river that we call the Rio Grande – and then they were pointed toward Hidalgo, Texas, before being abandoned by the smuggler. When the Border Patrol found them twelve hours later, they were exhausted and severely dehydrated. Their bodies were
beaten and bruised. They had lost a lot of weight. They were hungry.
They were just two children; but they were part of a surge of thousands of children who were fleeing the violence of their homelands in Central America. Ironically, they had fled to the nation that had supported corrupt governments in their countries for so
many years -- policies and governments that created the conditions that they were now forced to escape.
A Senator happened to hear the story on the news. Actually, you really couldn’t avoid hearing it. He demanded that the law be
changed so that child refugees could be immediately deported back to their own countries. He was a strong supporter of the law,
and insisted that it was the only alternative if the nation’s laws were to be respected. He always added, though, that he supports
legal immigration.
Likewise, a radio talk show host with many listeners took an interest in the story. He railed against Catholic Charities, because
they were raising money in his city to help the children. He often tells his listeners that he is a devout Christian, and he talks about
his particular Church. But he argued that feeding and clothing the unaccompanied children who had come here seeking refuge was
only going to encourage more children to make the same perilous journey to the north. The most Christian response, he insisted,
was to not help these children in any way.
But a Muslim woman came upon a story about the children, and was moved with compassion. She learned that there was an immigrant youth shelter in her city; and she went there to see how she could help. She took out her checkbook, and made a donation.
She wrote a letter to her Congressman, pleading for just treatment for the children. And then she volunteered to assist at the shelter
during the day. She spends two hours there, four days a week, just helping out in any way she can. Sometimes she cleans the toilets, and puts clean sheets on the beds. On Thursdays, she works in the cafeteria, providing meals for the children. And always,
she finds time to talk to the children, to comfort them, and to just be with them.
Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the children?
