ALIMENTADOS POR EL SEÑOR
Las palabras de Jesús “Esto es mi cuerpo” y “ Este
cáliz es la nueva alianza que se sella con mi sangre” fueron sólo parte de su consagración. Jesús dijo dos veces:
“Hagan esto en memoria mía” (1 Corintios 11:24, 25).
Esta es la buena nueva de la solemnidad de hoy. Como las cinco mil almas hambrientas, somos alimentados
por nuestro Señor. Este alimento no satisface sólo por un
corto período de tiempo, hasta la próxima comida. Es un
alimento que dura y nos cambia. Es un alimento para
compartir de la misma forma que lo hizo Melquisedec
cuando presentó pan y vino a Abram a su regreso.
Como hijos del reino de Dios, tenemos la dicha de
poder recibir y compartir el regalo de Dios. Y lo hacemos
de la manera más apropiada a nuestra circunstancia en la
vida –como padres, hijos, esposos, esposas o religiosos.

FED BY THE LORD
Jesus’ words “This is my body” and “This cup is the
new covenant in my blood” were only part of his table
blessing. Jesus twice said: “Do this in remembrance of
me” (1 Corinthians 11:24, 25).
This is the good news of today’s solemnity. Like the
five thousand hungry souls, we are fed by our Lord. This
is not food that satisfies for only a short time, until the
next meal. It is food that lasts and changes us. It is food
for sharing in much the same way as Melchizedek did
when he brought bread and wine to the returning Abraham.
As children of God’s reign, we are blessed to be able
to receive and share God’s gift. And we do so in the way
most appropriate to our state in life—as parents, children,
husbands, wives, or religious.
