Pope Francis at Mass: Gospel newness does not permit a double life Pope Francis preaches on the difference between the novelties of the world and the newness of Christ during the morning Mass on Monday at the Casa Santa Marta. By Adriana Masotti In his homily during the Mass on Monday morning at the Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis pointed out that the Apostle was very angry with those who boasted of being “open Christians,” but in whom “the confession of Jesus Christ went hand in hand with a tolerated immorality”: “Brothers and sisters, it is widely reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of a kind not found even among pagans.” Those were the harsh words of rebuke, taken from the First Letter to the Corinthians, that St. Paul addressed to the Christians there, noting that many of them were leading a double life. Paul recalled that “the yeast leavens all the dough,” and that it takes new leaven for new dough. The Gospel completely transforms us Jesus had recommended to His disciples “new wine, new wineskins.” Pope Francis said: The newness of the Gospel, the newness of Christ is not only transforming our soul; it is transforming our whole being: soul, spirit and body, all of it, everything: that is, transforming the vine – the leaven – into new wineskins, also everything. The newness of the Gospel is absolute, is total; it takes all of us, because it transforms from the inside out: the spirit, the body, and everyday life. The newness of the Gospel and the novelties of the world Pope Francis noted that the Christians of Corinth had not understood the all-encompassing newness of the Gospel, which is not an ideology or a means of social living that coexists with the pagan inhabitants. The newness of the Gospel is the Resurrection of Christ, and the Spirit that He has sent “so that He might accompany us in life.” We Christians are men and women of newness, the Pope affirmed, not of novelties: And so many people seek to live their Christianity “on novelties”: [They say,] “But today, it can be done this way; no today we can live like this.” And these people who live out the novelties that are proposed by the world are worldly; they don’t accept all the newness [of the Gospel]. There is a distinction between the “newness” of Jesus Christ, and the “novelties” that the world proposes to us as a way of living. Weakness, not hypocrisy The people that Paul condemns, the Pope said, “are lukewarm people, immoral people… people who dissemble, formal people, hypocritical people.” And he repeated, “The call of Jesus is a call to newness”: Someone could say, “But Father, we are weak, we are sinners…” “Ah, this is an-other thing.” If you accept that you are a sinner and weak, He forgives you, because part of the newness of the Gospel is confessing that Jesus Christ has come for the forgiveness of sins. But if you who say that you are a Christian live with these worldly novelties – no, this is hypocrisy. That is the difference. And Jesus has told us in the Gospel: “Be careful when they tell you: ‘Christ is here, He’s there, He’s there… The novelties are these: “No, salvation is with this, with this…” Christ is the only one. And Christ is clear in His message. The path of Christ is the path of martyrdom But Jesus does not deceive those who want to follow him. Pope Francis asks the question, “But what is the path of those who live out ‘the newness,’ and do not want to live out ‘novelties’?” He recalls how the day’s Gospel ends, that is, with the decision of the scribes and the doctors of the law to kill Jesus, “to do away with Him.” “The path of those who take up the newness of Jesus Christ is the same as that of Jesus: the path towards martyrdom,” the Pope warned. Martyrdom is not always bloody, but a daily martyrdom. “We are on a path, and we are watched by the great accuser who raises up the accusers of today to catch us in contradiction.” But, he concludes, there is no need to negotiate with “novelties”; there is no need to “water down the proclamation of the Gospel.”

RITO DE INICIACION CRISTIANA PARA ADULTOS (RICA)
Ángelus del Papa Francisco: Jesús enseña a hacer el bien sin clamores ni ostentación El Santo Padre reflexionó sobre el Evange-lio Dominical (cf. Mc 7,31-37) que relata la milagrosa curación de Jesús a un sordo-mudo, y explicó que el modo de actuar del Maestro, "siempre discreto", es el estilo que todos los cristianos estamos llamados a imitar. Sofía Lobos - Ciudad del Vaticano En la soleada mañana del 9 de septiembre, XXIII Domingo del tiempo ordinario, el Papa Fran-cisco rezó la oración mariana del Ángelus junto a miles de fieles y peregrinos reunidos en la Plaza de San Pedro. Actuar como Jesús: hacer el bien con discreción Reflexionando sobre el Evangelio Dominical (cf. Mc 7,31-37), que relata la milagrosa curación de Jesús a un sordomudo entre la multitud que lo seguía en las proximidades del mar de Gali-lea, el Santo Padre destaca la forma de actuar que caracteriza al Señor: "Siempre con discre-ción. No quiere impresionar a la gente, no está en la búsqueda de popularidad o éxito, sino que sólo quiere hacer el bien a las personas. Con esta actitud, Él nos enseña que el bien debe hacerse sin clamores y sin ostentación, sin hacer sonar la trompeta, va realizado en silencio". El Hijo de Dios comprende el dolor humano e interviene En cuanto al gesto sanador perpetrado por el Maestro, quien "pone sus dedos en los oídos del sordomudo y con su saliva le toca la lengua"; el Pontífice explica que hace referencia a la En-carnación: "El Hijo de Dios es un hombre plenamente integrado en la realidad humana, por lo tanto, puede comprender la condición dolorosa de otro hombre e interviene con un gesto en el que está implicada toda su propia humanidad", asegura Francisco haciendo hincapié en que, al mismo tiempo, Jesús quiere hacer entender que el milagro se produce por su unión con el Padre: «Por esta razón, levantó su mirada al cielo. Luego suspiró y pronunció la palabra resolu-tiva: "Effatá", que significa "Ábrete". Y al instante el hombre fue sanado: sus oídos se abieron, su lengua se soltó. La sanación era para él una "apertura" a los demás y al mundo». El ser humano necesita una doble curación: del cuerpo y del alma Por otra parte, el Obispo de Roma señala que esta historia refleja además, la necesidad que tenemos de una doble curación. "En primer lugar, la curación de la enfermedad y el sufri-miento físico, para restaurar la salud del cuerpo, si bien este objetivo no es plenamente alcanza-ble en el horizonte terrenal, a pesar de los esfuerzos de la ciencia y la medicina". "Pero hay una segunda sanación, quizás más difícil, - dice el Papa- y es la sanación del miedo que nos empuja a marginar a los enfermos, a los que sufren, a los discapacitados". Al respecto, el Santo Padre advierte que hay muchas maneras de marginar, incluso a través de una "pseudo lástima" que experimentamos por el otro, o con la tendencia directa a eliminar el problema: "Nos quedamos sordos y mudos ante los dolores de las personas marcadas por enfermedades, angustias y difi-cultades. Demasiadas veces el enfermo y el sufriente se convierten en un problema, mientras que deberían ser una oportunidad para mostrar la preocupación y la solidaridad de una sociedad hacia los más débiles", añadió. El milagro de"Effatá": vivir en comunión con Dios y los hermanos De esta manera, «Jesús nos reveló el secreto de un milagro que también nosotros podemos re-petir, convirtiéndonos en protagonistas de "Effatá", de esa palabra "Ábrete" con la que Él de-volvió la voz y el oído al sordomundo», afirma el Sucesor de Pedro, asegurando que se trata de abrirnos a las necesidades de nuestros hermanos y hermanas que sufren y necesitan ayuda, evi-tando el egoísmo y el cierre del corazón. «Es precisamente el corazón, es decir, el núcleo pro-fundo de la persona, lo que Jesús vino a "abrir", a liberar, a hacernos capaces de vivir plena-mente nuestra relación con Dios y con los demás. Él se hizo hombre para que el hombre, sordo-mudo interiormente por el pecado, pueda escuchar la voz de Dios, la voz del Amor que habla a su corazón, y así aprenda a hablar, a su vez, el lenguaje del amor, traduciéndolo en gestos de generosidad y entrega», concluye el Pontífice alentando a todos a encomendarse a la Virgen María «que estuvo totalmente "abierta" al amor del Señor»; para que ella «nos ayude a experi-mentar cada día en la fe, el milagro de "Effatá", y vivir así en comunión con Dios y con nues-tros hermanos».
