San Pablo escribe a los filipenses, \u201cen cambio, nosotros somos ciudadanos del cielo, y esperamos ardientemente que venga de all\u00ed como Salvador el Se\u00f1or Jesucristo.\u201d \u00a0Cinco veces me han preguntado esta \u00faltima semana si soy ciudadano norteamericano, y cada vez respond\u00ed \u201cno\u201d dejando a las personas perplejas. \u00a0Nunca en veinti\u00fan a\u00f1os que vivo en este pa\u00eds me han hecho esta pregunta tan seguido.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Como cat\u00f3licos, creemos que la identidad personal no se determina primeramente por la ciudadan\u00eda terrenal, pero mas bien por la ciudadan\u00eda celestial. \u00a0Todos los bautizados somos ciudadanos del cielo, cimiento de nuestra identidad personal. \u00a0En el bautismo nos convertimos en hijos adoptivos de Dios, herederos del reino eterno. \u00a0Nuestro pa\u00eds natal nos recibe en la tierra, pero nuestro renacer en Cristo injerta nuestra alma en la eternidad.<\/p>\n
Inmigrantes que son desplazados de su pa\u00eds natal suelen batallar con su identidad. \u00a0Los inmigrantes siempre son identificados como extranjeros en su pa\u00eds anfitri\u00f3n aunque hayan llegado de ni\u00f1os, y cuando regresan a sus pa\u00edses de origen, usualmente son recibidos como extranjeros pues ya que no residen all\u00ed. \u00a0El inmigrante no pertenece ni a un pa\u00eds ni al otro.<\/p>\n
Hace varios a\u00f1os estaba yo luchando por identificar mi verdadero hogar. \u00a0Mi hogar podr\u00eda ser mi pa\u00eds natal, pero llegue a los Estados Unidos de ni\u00f1o. \u00a0Mi hogar podr\u00eda ser este pa\u00eds ya que he vivido mis a\u00f1os formativos y casi toda mi vida en los Estados Unidos. \u00a0Mi verdadero hogar es la Iglesia. \u00a0No solo es la Iglesia una instituci\u00f3n presente en ambos pa\u00edses, pero la Iglesia sostiene al inmigrante con la gracia de Dios y una comunidad. \u00a0Se nota aqu\u00ed la importancia que la Iglesia est\u00e9 al alcance de los inmigrantes ya que les provee una identidad fuerte y segura.
\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\nUna identidad solida produce personas pacificas, integradas y fieles. \u00a0Aquellos sin una, suelen meterse en actividades riesgosas como pandillas, drogas y hasta suicidio. \u00a0No me sorprende que entre j\u00f3venes en los Estados Unidos, los hispanos son los que mas intentan suicidarse (CDC). \u00a0Estos j\u00f3venes no reconocen su identidad como seres humanos con valor infinito y la Iglesia puede ayudarlos a fortalecer su identidad.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Una se\u00f1ora mayor mexicana me dijo hace unos meses, \u201cPadre, aqu\u00ed no me quieren, pero si regreso a M\u00e9xico, me matan. \u00a0No me quieren aqu\u00ed, no me quieren all\u00e1. \u00a0\u00bfCuando encontrare un sitio donde si me acepten?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nosotros somos ciudadanos del cielo. \u00a0Todos somos aceptados en la Iglesia. \u00a0Todos somos necesarios en la Iglesia. \u00a0Todos somos queridos en la Iglesia. \u00a0Es dentro de la Iglesia que desaparecen distinciones al compartir todos de nuestra ciudadan\u00eda del cielo, nuestro verdadero hogar.<\/p>\n
