WEEKLY HOMILY / HOMILÍA SEMANAL
Thirty-Second Sunday OT/Trigésimo Segundo Domingo TO, Ciclo A
Most people count down the shopping days until Christmas. If are you one of those people, you know that
as of today, Sunday, November 9, there are 45 days to shop between now and December 25. But some people
count the shopping days not before Christmas, but rather those before the start of Advent. If you are one of those
people, you know there are 21 days before Advent starts on Sunday, November 30. Those folks try to get their
Christmas shopping done and their gifts wrapped before Advent begins so that the season can truly be what it is
meant to be. Not a time just for shopping and increasing the hectic pace of life, but a time of peaceful reflection
as we prepare to celebrate the day when God came to his people with a human face. Those people who count the
days before Advent, are like the five wise virgins of today's Gospel. Those women knew the bridegroom was
coming and they readied themselves to meet him. They came not only with their lamps but also with flasks of oil
so their lamps would burn brightly. They had wisely purchased that oil ahead of time. They had prepared. They
were not like the five foolish virgins who came with no oil for their lamps. When the bridegroom's imminent
arrival was announced, those five ran to buy oil at the last minute, but they returned too late. The bridegroom had
already arrived and they were left standing outside, looking in. They were unprepared. Foolishly unprepared for
an event they knew was coming. By now, all Catholics should know that something is coming on Sunday,
November 30. Yes, Advent is coming and with it the beginning of the new liturgical year of 2015.
El Evangelio de hoy nos presenta unas figures muy importantes para nuestra vida, es el Evangelio de las
Diez Vírgenes, cinco eran prudentes y cinco eran necias. Las prudentes, así llamadas, por que fueron precavidas y
llevaron aceite de sobra para sus lámparas, y las cinco necias, también así llamadas por que no fueron precavidas
y no se prepararon con aceite extra para sus lámparas. Este evangelio esta en el contexto de las celebraciones de
bodas en el medio oriente. Hasta hace unos pocos anos, e incluso en muchas familias del medio oriente todavía
hoy, los preparativos para la celebración de la boda se hacían con mucho cuidado y al detalle. Incluso, en nuestra
sociedad moderna las novias lo planean todo al dedillo e incluso agarran unos enfados tremendo sino consiguen
lo que ellas quieren y como ellas han pensado y sonado. Pero en fin, ahora estamos en otro tipo de boda. En las
bodas del medio oriente, todos los pueblos semitas las hacían de igual manera, no solo se preparaba para la fiesta,
el lugar de la boda y el banquete después, no. Lo que era mas importante era las tratativas entre las familias, la del
novio y la de la novia. Si entendemos esto un poquito entenderemos el retraso del novio. Primero, toda boda tenia
que estar precedida de una procesión con antorchas, de ahí que las diez jóvenes salieran a esperar al novio que
llegase, así que cuanta mas luz, es decir, cuanta mas gente estuviera en el cortejo de las luces mas importante era.
Segundo, aquí el novio se retrasa por que las tratativas se alargaron, las negociaciones entre las familias, eso
quiere decir que había mucho en juego, podría ser que el novio viniera de una familia influyente y con dinero, no
solo era el amor entre el novio y la novia, no solo eso, sino que había que ver, que ofrecían, así que el padre de el
novio tendría que hacer una buena oferta, y el padre de la novia empezaría a negociar con lo que se presentaba
encima de la mesa. Tercero, al parecer, las tratativas se alargaron mucho, y estas diez vírgenes se durmieron. Y de
pronto se escuchó una voz, “Que viene el novio.” Esta es la voz del amigo mas intimo del novio, podríamos decir
que del “Best man.” Es el que anuncia la llegada del novio, en el evangelio será Juan el Bautista. Se acabaron las
tratativas, y el novio llega para tomar a su esposa y llevársela a casa de su padre. Entonces entran en juego de
nuevo nuestras diez vírgenes, pero dando la fatalidad de que cinco de ellas al preparar las lámparas no tienen
aceite, se gasto durante la espera. Y las cinco prudentes no les van a dar de su aceite. Podríamos pensar que malas
que son que no comparten, pero este aceite ¿Qué es lo que representa? El Espíritu Santo, este no se puede
compartir, solo Dios lo puede dar. Así que fueron las cinco a comprar mas aceite, y en eso llegó el novio, y las
puertas se cerraron en la sala del banquete. Y ya conocemos lo que paso al final. Así que la pregunta hoy es,
¿Estoy preparado para que llegue el novio hoy a mi vida, y así pueda entrar con el al banquete de boda?
Esperemos en el amor y la misericordia de Dios que cuando el venga nos encuentre preparados y con nuestras
lámparas encendidas y listas para acompañar al novio a la fiesta y así no quedarnos fuera. Que Dios me los
bendiga siempre.
