Quinto domingo de Cuaresma, 17 de marzo de 2024: Despertar los ‘huesos secos’

“Pondré mi espíritu dentro de ti, y vivirás, y te pondré en tu tierra; entonces sabrás que yo, Yahveh, he hablado y actuaré, dice Yahveh.”

Ezequiel 37: 14 

by Fr Franz Berajano SJ

Camino de la celebración de la Pascua de Resurrección y el quinto domingo de Cuaresma, buscamos un poco de luz que nos permita unirnos al proyecto de Jesús para nuestra vida personal y de la comunidad.

El contexto donde se desarrolla la primera lectura nos invita a fijar nuestra mirada en la Iglesia y su situación en medio de nuestra sociedad. Somos participes de una institución que tiene muchos años y presencia universal y como toda institución de estas dimensiones necesita renovación constante para no quedarse anquilosada en el pasado.

La referencia a los “huesos secos” (muertos), que dice la profecía de Ezequiel, es una constatación clara de que hace falta una inyección de vida; en definitiva, de espíritu que  despierte y genere nueva vida.

Cuando en Ezequiel 37, 14 leemos “Pondré mi espíritu dentro de ti, y vivirás, y te pondré en tu tierra; entonces sabrás que yo, Yahveh, he hablado y actuaré, dice Yahveh” es la referencia clara al despertar a una nueva vida que nos trae la Resurrección de Jesús. Al mismo tiempo nos invita a mirar el futuro con optimismo y esperanza que se refleja de modos diferentes en la Iglesia. Renovarnos en el Espíritu de Jesús es buscar la manera concreta de vivir nuestra fe en nuestras “iglesias particulares”. Asumiendo su realidad y llevando el mensaje renovador a los hermanos y hermanas.

Cada situación de la comunidad de fe local es una oportunidad para que el Espíritu de Dios se manifieste en libertad. Dios actúa en la historia personal y comunitaria y las manifestaciones de ese actuar se reflejan en la vida de fe de comunidad cristiana. Afrontar esta historia nos prepara a entender que cuando pedimos por la Iglesia oramos por cada situación particular pero que contribuye a todo el cuerpo.

Como comunidad de fe, Dios nos invita a fijar nuestra mirada en aquellas situaciones que necesitan renovarse en el Espíritu del Resucitado. Estas situaciones urgentes van desde lo personal, pero tienen su reflejo en la vida comunitaria. En este sentido para muchas comunidades indígenas el cuidado de la casa común ocupa un lugar importante porque de ella depende el futura de la misma comunidad y sus miembros. Si nos falta la Madre Tierra, nuestra vida se muere somo “huesos muertos”. Hacernos cargo del cuidado de la casa común no sólo es tarea de los “guardianes de la naturaleza”, sino de todos los que habitamos este mundo cuidando nuestro entorno vital.

Ora
Recordemos en nuestras oraciones a la Red Jesuita con Migrantes CANA  (Centro y Norte América)  socio de la CJI que proporciona ayuda humanitaria y acompañamiento a miles de migrantes. Los conflictos, la violencia, las violaciones de los derechos humanos, las persecuciones y las crisis socioeconómicas y políticas obligan a decenas de miles de personas a huir de su propia “tierra”. En los últimos años, a los migrantes centroamericanos se han unido otros 130,000 más que cruzaron desde Sur América por el Paso del Darién en Panamá: Personas de Haití, Cuba, Venezuela y partes de Asia y África, incluidos niños y adolescentes. La red RJM les ofrece alimentos, medicamentos, refugio,  apoyo psicológico y espiritual, y asesoramiento jurídico.

Today, July 31, is the feast day of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, who died on this day in 1556. 

"Saint Ignatius of Loyola and his companions did not fear uncertainty or difficulty; they went to the margins, where faith and reason intersected with new cultures and great challenges," Pope Leo XIV said in his address to the Major Superiors of the Society of Jesus on Oct. 24, 2025. Following in Saint Ignatius' footsteps, Jesuits "have long been present where humanity’s needs meet God’s saving love: through spiritual guidance, intellectual formation, service among the poor and Christian witness at cultural frontiers," Pope Leo added. 

Born Iñigo de Loyola to a family of Spanish nobility, Saint Ignatius abandoned his wordly ambitions when he experienced a desire to serve Jesus when he was recovering from a severe leg injury in the Battle of Pamplona in 1521. Taking vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, Saint Ignatius and his followers would later help renew and modernize the Catholic church by spreading the Gospel around the world and standing with society's poor and marginalized. 

We at CJI are inspired and nurtured by Ignatian spirituality.

As a Jesuit institution, we strive for greater ecological, social and economic justice, and peace, in the world. Our struggle for social justice and peace is rooted in our faith, which in turn strengthens our faith.

One of Saint Ignatius' most influential contribution was the Spiritual Exercises, a four-week meditation and prayer to help people deepen their relationships with God. They formed the basis of spiritual retreat practices and today, remains influential in Jesuit spiritual formation and direction. 

May Saint Ignatius and his companions continue to inspire us to be a person for others.

We are deeply grateful to the clergy, staff, and parishioners of Chinese Martyrs Parish, in Markham, Ont.  for the warm welcome they extended to Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) during last weekend’s Mission Cooperative Sunday.  Thank you to the Rev. Zhijun (Stephen) Lu, pastor; the Rev. Andrew Jianwell Deng, associate pastor; the Rev. John Lizu Gan, associate pastor; and the Rev. Junwei (Michael) Hu, associate pastor. 
We also express our thanks to the Archdiocese of Toronto for including CJI in this program, which offers local Catholic communities the opportunity to learn about and support various church-based projects. CJI was able to share information about Jesuit-run projects it supports in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean. 
Our special thanks to Fr. Robert Wong, SJ, who spoke on behalf of CJI and urged parishioners to support these projects, particularly Jesu Ashram, in India, which provides free medical treatment and care to the poor, especially those living with leprosy and tuberculosis. 
Special thanks also to Sabrina Yung-Lau, a long-time CJI donor and volunteer, who kindly assisted  Fr. Robert and CJI Outreach Coordinator Juan Camilo Poveda, and Jesuit Scholastic Dang Khoa Tran, who  also represented CJI.

Before coming to Canada to study, Gabriel Kofi Akpah, SJ, a Jesuit scholastic from Ghana, taught philosophy at St. Paul’s Major Seminary in Sierra Leone. He also spent several years studying and living in various parts of Africa, including Liberia, Nigeria, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

These experiences deepened his appreciation for cultural diversity “and the many ways people seek meaning, hope and community,” he said. They are also helping to inform his “field placement” (practical experience) related to his academic studies at Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) over the summer. 

Gabriel is currently pursuing a Master of Divinity, a Bachelor of Theology and a Diploma in Spiritual Direction at Regis St. Michael’s Faculty of Theology, at the University of Toronto. “I’ve always been interested in questions about faith, justice, leadership, and what it means to make the world a better place,” he said.

A big thanks to the Grade 9 teachers, students, and student leaders at Toronto’s Loretto College High School for welcoming Canadian Jesuits International (CJI) this morning. CJI Outreach Coordinator Juan Camilo Poveda, along with Jesuit scholastic Dang Khoa (Dominic) Tran, Hasina Qadari, and Jas Sidhu gave a presentation on CJI’s fall 2025 campaign, Women at the Heart of Justice. The campaign highlighted women as essential changemakers in the global struggle for dignity, equality, and sustainability. It focused on the critical role women play in addressing issues such as gender-based violence, economic exclusion, and environmental injustices. It also highlighted CJI programs that empower women.
We were inspired by the engagement demonstrated by the students and educators at Loretto College High School, who were eager to learn about how empowering women is essential to build just, inclusive and sustainable communities around the world.
