FIESTA DEL CUERPO Y LA SANGRE DE CRISTO

PARROQUIA DE SAN CHRISTOPHER PARROQUIA DE SAN CHRISTOPHER Y SAN PATRICIO 3094 Albany Post Rd Y SAN PATRICIO Buchanan NY 10511 3094 Albany Post Rd 9302301 TELF. 914) 7371046 FAX (914)

Cada una de las lecturas de hoy tiene que ver con el alimento, específicamente con el pan, y esto es algo intencional debido a la fiesta que celebramos. El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo son alimento espiritual, que nos sustenta en nuestra misión. Sin embargo, hay otro elemento común en las lecturas, el cual es de igual importancia: la bendición de Dios. Melquisedec ofreció pan y vino, y después bendijo a Abram con una oración. San Pablo nos narra cómo Jesús tomó el pan y el vino, dio gracias a Dios y, ya convertidos en su cuerpo y su sangre, los compartió con sus discípulos. En el Evangelio vemos que Jesús miró al cielo y bendijo los panes y los pescados antes de distribuirlos a las multitudes. No obstante lo importante que era el alimento para la nutrición y el sustento, lo esencial era dar gracias a quien en definitiva lo provee.  Los discípulos fueron una parte esencial del milagro descrito en el Evangelio, aunque este hecho pudiera pasarse fácilmente por alto. No fue suficiente que Jesús multiplicara el alimento para que hubiese suficiente para todos comer, sino que alguien tuvo que distribuir el pan y los pescados a los millares de personas que estaban allí presentes. Los discípulos son la Iglesia, tal como lo somos nosotros. Pasar por alto este rol, o sea nuestro rol, en dar de comer a los hambrientos con lo que al principio parecía una cantidad inadecuada de alimento sería un error. Nosotros somos agentes esenciales en dar de comer a los que pasan hambre. Los discípulos llevaron a cabo el ministerio de Jesús al distribuir las cestas de comida. Nosotros podemos hacer lo mismo.  Por medio de Jesús, Dios nos proporciona abundante alimento, más de lo necesario para vivir. Ya sea alimento físico como en el Evangelio o alimento espiritual como lo es el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo, un encuentro con Jesús nos deja personalmente satisfechos en exceso, como para poder compartirlo con los demás.

ͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͶͲͲ "They all ate and were sa#sfied." Why read the miracle of the mul#plica#on of the loaves this Sunday? Here we see the mystery of our physical and spiritual reali#es intermingling. Too oBen, they can feel separate. When we go to Mass, how oBen we appear more ordinarily human rather than stretching toward the divine. Perhaps our experience of the Eucharist is fairly mundane. We no#ce when a new sacramental wine has been selected. We feel the varying textures of the host and wonder if they'll ever bring back the one that tasted dis#nctly like wheat. As we shuffle up to the front and stride back to our pew, we no#ce the looks on people's faces and the clothes on their backs. We get distracted by the crying child, the man blowing his nose, and the mechanical sound of the air condi#oner kicking in. How human we are, how earthͲbound, how material! And how good God is for entering into these selfsame reali#es. How good God is for proclaiming "the kingdom of God," for "heal[ing] those who needed to be cured," for having mercy on a #red and hungry crowd. How many of the crowd no#ced what had been done for them? Did they realize their dinner was a miracle? How oBen do we miss the deeper reality of the Eucharist? Even if in the moment of receiving Communion we don't experience radical ecstasy and don't feel any different, there is a tangible reality to cling to. Our God loves us enough to become bread for us, not only to feed us but to be fed upon by us.
