¿Por dónde se acerca Dios? (P. Claudio, CdMx)

·10 min·1 clip

A priest argues that solving problems requires supernatural vision, but an attendee dismisses it as a cheap excuse.

The episode begins with a prayer and a story about a meeting of priests where one participant emphasizes the need for supernatural vision and prayer in addressing problems, only to be criticized by another who calls it a cheap excuse. Father Claudio uses this to introduce the theme of recognizing God in unexpected ways. He then transitions to the Gospel narrative, describing how Jesus's relatives urged him to perform public miracles in Judea during the Feast of Tabernacles to gain fame, but Jesus went secretly instead. This leads to a discussion where Jewish leaders in Jerusalem question Jesus's messianic claims because they know his earthly origins, citing scripture that the Messiah's origin should be unknown. Father Claudio warns against similar attitudes in modern believers who might dismiss God's work because it lacks spectacle. He illustrates this with the story of Naamán the Syrian, who expected a dramatic cure for leprosy but was told by the prophet Eliseo to wash in the Jordan River, highlighting God's preference for simple, ordinary actions. The episode also touches on the selection of Matías by lot to replace Judas among the apostles, emphasizing that God's choices can seem mundane. Father Claudio lists various ways God speaks, such as through priests, scripture, friends, and even difficult people, urging listeners not to dismiss these channels. He references Adam and Eve hiding from God after sinning as an example of wanting control, and contrasts this with the disciples John and Andrew seeking Jesus by asking where he lives. The meditation concludes with a prayer of thanksgiving and a call to find God in everyday life, noting that Mary's presence in the Gospel was often quiet but constant.
