\u00bfAlguna vez has pensado que podr\u00edas ser santo? <\/p>\n\n
La santidad es el ADN de la Iglesia. Por medio del Bautismo nos convertimos en hijos de Dios. Y si somos hijos de Dios, hay en nosotros una semilla de divinidad. \u00bfNo es eso asombroso? <\/p>\n\n
Ser santo no significa ser un hombre o una mujer perfectos. M\u00e1s bien, ser santo significa estar abiertos a Dios, permiti\u00e9ndole actuar en nosotros a trav\u00e9s de Su gracia y del Esp\u00edritu Santo. <\/p>\n\n
Pero \u00bfde d\u00f3nde viene esta hermosa invitaci\u00f3n? Viene de la misma Palabra de Dios. <\/p>\n\n
Ante todo, solo Dios es santo. \u00c9l es la fuente y la plenitud de toda santidad. En el Libro del Lev\u00edtico, Dios le dice a Mois\u00e9s: \u00abSean santos, porque yo, el Se\u00f1or su Dios, soy santo\u00bb (Lv 19,2). <\/p>\n\n
En el Antiguo Testamento, la santidad es una profunda invitaci\u00f3n al Pueblo de Israel. Son santos en la medida en que siguen los mandamientos de Dios. Pero esta invitaci\u00f3n encuentra su cumplimiento definitivo en Jesucristo. <\/p>\n\n
En el Nuevo Testamento, Jes\u00fas es el Santo de Dios. El \u00c1ngel Gabriel le dice a Mar\u00eda: \u00abPor eso, el que va a nacer ser\u00e1 llamado Santo, Hijo de Dios\u00bb (Lc 1,35). <\/p>\n\n
Jes\u00fas abre un nuevo camino para ser santos, no solo cumpliendo la ley, sino tambi\u00e9n sigui\u00e9ndolo y viviendo como \u00c9l vivi\u00f3. En el Serm\u00f3n del Monte, Jes\u00fas proclam\u00f3 \u00abbienaventurados\u00bb a los pobres, los mansos, los misericordiosos y los limpios de coraz\u00f3n. Las Bienaventuranzas son un espejo de la propia vida de Jes\u00fas. <\/p>\n\n
Podemos ver que la santidad es un camino para todos. Jes\u00fas invita a todos a seguirlo. La Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica ense\u00f1a que la santidad es una vocaci\u00f3n universal, verdad proclamada con fuerza por el Concilio Vaticano II. <\/p>\n\n
En la Lumen Gentium, la Iglesia declara que todos, tanto el clero como los laicos, est\u00e1n llamados a la santidad (n. 39). Esta santidad se expresa de muchas formas distintas seg\u00fan el estado de vida de cada persona. <\/p>\n\n
La santidad, por tanto, no tiene el mismo rostro en todos. Cada uno de nosotros puede buscar la santidad independientemente de su estado o condici\u00f3n de vida. <\/p>\n\n
La Lumen Gentium concluye su cap\u00edtulo sobre la santidad con esta poderosa afirmaci\u00f3n: \u00abTodos los fieles de Cristo son invitados a tender a la santidad y a la perfecci\u00f3n propia de su estado\u00bb (n. 42). <\/p>\n\n
El Papa Francisco habla de una santidad cotidiana. A quienes la viven los llama \u00ablos santos de la puerta de al lado.\u00bb <\/p>\n\n
Son personas ordinarias, quiz\u00e1s cercanas a nosotros, que viven la santidad a trav\u00e9s de sus acciones: cuidando a sus seres queridos, perdonando en silencio y haciendo el bien a los dem\u00e1s. El Papa Francisco nos recuerda que la santidad no se encuentra \u00fanicamente en los santos canonizados o beatificados. <\/p>\n\n
\u00bfQui\u00e9n sabe? Quiz\u00e1s tienes un santo entre tus amigos o familiares, o en alguna persona sencilla que conoces. Y quiz\u00e1s t\u00fa mismo eres el \u00absanto de la puerta de al lado\u00bb de alguien, porque Dios act\u00faa silenciosamente en nosotros. <\/p>\n\n
Quiero terminar esta reflexi\u00f3n con las palabras del Cardenal Semeraro, pronunciadas durante la Lectio Inauguralis<\/em> del curso de formaci\u00f3n sobre las Causas de los Santos: <\/p>\n\n \u00abPara ser canonizado o beatificado, es necesario ser santo. Pero para ser santo, no es necesario ser canonizado.\u00bb <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n La santidad es m\u00e1s grande de lo que podemos imaginar. Sobre todo, la santidad es un don de Dios y no un logro personal. <\/p>\n\n Entonces, \u00bfte gustar\u00eda ser santo? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La santidad no est\u00e1 reservada para unos pocos elegidos.
