El Amor Mas Profundo

main image

 ‘Cancion de canciones’ era poesia de amor mundial que recibio un uso Nuevo en la providencia de Dios en la coleccion de los libros de Biblia. Similarmente podemos leer poesia de amor humana como una analogia de la amor de la gente y su Dios. Considera este poema de Pablo Neruda, el poeta famoso chileno.

      En este parte de su poema, el autor y amante describe como las cosas de la creacion gritan a la casa de la amada, le dirigen ahi.  Ellos son ‘pequenos barcos que navegan hacia las islas tuyas.’ 

     Las casas criaturas dirigen partialmente porque aparecen y desparecen.  Ellas no son metas, en contrario son un camino hasta el.

    La toda creacion es un barco y un aviso, pero ademas es rota y confuse, un camino que no esta suficiente para llegar a nuesta casa verdadera.  Pero el amor y un recuerdo de lejos hacen que nosotros inquietos, explorandos ‘hasta nuestros corazones descansen en ti.’ (Agostino)

Complete the Race (II Timothy 4:17)

At the end of our vacation we find ourselves in Chicago for its Marathon weekend (the fastest, I have read this morning, perhaps because it is cool and relatively level). Marathons offer many good things. You can see world-class athletes from places like Ethiopia and Kenya. There is a feel of fiesta with signs by family members, getups by some for-fun runners, and food for sale.

But as I looked out my hotel window at 7:30 a.m., I watched the race of competitors who have lost legs or their use. Wheeling vehicles by arm for 26 miles means serious fitness and determination.

Those competitors were to me, this morning, a symbol of the Church too. For each is wounded. The larger family cheers them on. Each by grace has risen up to run the race. Ahead is the goal, the prize, the welcome home. We find the companionship of Jesus the Lord, there, and along the route too.

Amen.
