Reflections ˜ Reflexiones Gospel: Luke 9:11b-17

Have you noticed how all the readings today speak of feeding people? Our Gospel story shows us Jesus and the Twelve surrounded by a huge, hungry crowd. When the Twelve protest that they cannot feed everyone, Jesus has them divide the crowd into smaller groups. Then he takes what they have—five loaves, two fishes—gives thanks (blesses the food), breaks it, and invites the disciples to pass it around and share it. There is more than enough for everyone! We can, of course, see this story as a sign of the Eucharist, in which Jesus continues to feed the multitude of his followers. But we can also see it as a challenge to do what we can to feed the millions of hungry people in our world today. 1.) How can we match up our willingness to share food with the hungry with our willingness to share Jesus in the Eucharist?

Evangelio: Lucas 9:11b-17 ¿Te has fijado cómo todas las lecturas de hoy hablan de alimentar al pueblo? La historia del evangelio nos muestra a Jesús y a los Doce rodeados de una multitud hambrienta. Cuando protestaron porque no podían dar de comer a todos, Jesús dividió la multitud en pequeños grupos. Después tomó lo que tenían, cinco panes y dos peces, dio gracias, los partió e invitó a los discípulos a pasarlo para compartirlo. Hubo suficiente para todos. Podemos, por supuesto, ver esta historia como un signo de la Eucaristía, en la que Jesús continúa alimentando a la multitud de sus seguidores. Pero podemos también verlo como un reto que nos invita a alimentar a millones de hambrientos en nuestro mundo hoy. 1.) ¿Cómo podemos aparear nuestra voluntad de compartir comida con los que tienen hambre y nuestra disposición de compartir a Jesús en la Eucaristía?

LIVING STEWARDSHIP

BROKEN AND POURED OUT

At every Mass we remember Jesus' last Passover meal with his friends. We see only the bread and wine, but it is the Lord himself, broken and poured out for us, whom we receive. This amazing love is the opposite of greed ("I'm going to grab it all for myself") and its relative, stinginess ("I'll give only what I have to, and no more"). Both arise from a fear that we may lose what we own or not have enough. Prophets, saints, and Jesus himself say fear comes from lack of trust in God. Survivors of natural disasters know that possessions can disappear in a heartbeat. Such people show resilience, courage, and a will to rebuild their lives. We, who are loved by God the Father, fed by God the Son, and strengthened by God the Holy Spirit, have all we need. If we open our hearts to these gifts and truly believe, our lives are transformed.

th, at 7:00pm

led by the Young Adult Ministry. Spend time with the Blessed Sacrament as we sing praises and pray for an hour.

THIS SACRED MEAL Today we celebrate the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Each of the readings includes a blessing and a sharing of food. They remind us of the central place of meals in our lives. Each meal brings to mind other meals: the sharing of cookies and milk, pizza and beer, loaves and fishes, bread and wine. When we prepare a meal for our family, our friends, even strangers, we always put something of ourselves into the preparation and the meal itself. The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ reminds us of what God put into the preparation for this meal that we celebrate today. We share this sacred meal and are transformed as we remember the death of Jesus and the sacrifice that nurtures our faith, sustains our lives, and supports our work. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE EUCHARIST Just as the bread, which is made from the earth, when God is invoked is no longer common bread but the Eucharist, both earthly and heavenly, so our bodies, after we have received the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, since they hold the hope of the resurrection. —St. Irenaeus

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

We owe today’s beautiful feast to a valiant woman who suffered a great deal to establish a feast out of her love for the Eucharist. Juliana was a nun in Belgium in the thirteenth century. She served in a hospital for lepers. She became convinced through her prayer that the liturgical year was incomplete because it had no feast for the Eucharist. Her efforts were not welcome, and a supervising priest sought to punish her for promoting a feast that “nobody wanted.” He even had her accused of financial mismanagement and banished her from her convent. Shortly after she was exiled, the bishop approved the feast. It quickly spread through Europe. In those days, people very seldom received Holy Communion, and so the processions through the streets with the eucharistic bread not only led to an awareness of Christ’s hunger to be with us, but prepared the way for a deeper desire to receive Christ’s Body and Blood in more frequent Communion. The feast grew rapidly, but Juliana disappeared into poverty and a hidden life. She ended her days as an “anchoress,” a woman living in seclusion in a room attached to a parish church. Imagine her delight at seeing us gathered at the table of the Lord on this day, aware of Christ’s presence in our midst, sharing fully in Christ’s Body and Blood. Our celebration today invests her struggle and sorrows with dignity and meaning. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

ESTE SAGRADO ALIMENTO Hoy celebramos el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Cada una de las lecturas incluyen una bendición y un compartir de alimentos. Lo cual nos recuerda de lo importante que son las comidas en nuestras vidas. Cada comida trae el recuerdo de otras comidas: el compartir galletas y leche, pizza y cerveza, panecillos y pescados, pan y vino. Cuando preparamos una comida para nuestra familia, nuestros amigos, aun para personas desconocidas, siempre ponemos algo de nosotros en la preparación y en la comida misma. El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo nos recuerda lo que Dios puso en la preparación para este alimento que celebramos hoy. Compartimos este sagrado alimento y somos transformados al tiempo que recordamos la muerte de Jesús y el sacrificio que nutre nuestra fe, sustenta nuestra vida y apoya nuestro trabajo. Copyright © J.

EXPERIENCIA La experiencia es algo que no tienes sino hasta después de que la necesites. —Anónimo

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Perú tiene más de 3000 fiestas cada año, normalmente en torno al santo patrón de algún pueblo. La celebración de Corpus Christi es celebrada en todo el país. Pero es más llamativa en Cusco. Durante el día se escucha el repique de María Angola, la campana más grande de todo Perú, que existe desde el siglo XVI. La celebración incluye una procesión con quince santos y vírgenes del siglo XVII, que vienen desde sus santuarios hasta la barroca Catedral de Cusco para honrar el Cuerpo de Jesús. Estas imágenes son cargadas por la plaza de armas antes de llegar a la catedral donde se quedarán hasta el octavo día. Según los peruanos los santos y vírgenes pasan las siete noches platicando con el Señor de los temblores, bromeando y planificando el año que viene para sus parroquias. El último día los santos y vírgenes regresan a sus santuarios con otra procesión. Estas dos procesiones nos recuerdan que por mucho que los latinoamericanos amemos y veneremos a los santos y vírgenes reconocemos que tanto ellos como nosotros están al servicio de Cristo Jesús. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co

LA EUCARISTÍA Igual que el pan, hecho del fruto de la tierra, cuando Dios se invoca ya no es pan ordinario sino la Eucaristía, terrena y celestial; así también nuestro cuerpo, después de haber recibido la Eucaristía, no es corruptible, sino que tienen la esperanza de la resurrección. —San Ireneo
