June 7, 2015 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ The ancient words of Psalm 116 ring out fresh and new in today’s responsorial psalm. When the psalmist asks how he or anyone can make a return to the Lord for all the good that God has done, he is echoing our prayer of wondrous gratitude. How can any of us ever make a return to the Lord or repay God in any way? In this psalm we are told what we are to do: We are to take up the cup of salvation and “call upon the name of the Lord” (Psalm 116:13). This primal need to give thanks and make a return to God prompts the Church to give us this solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, a celebration set apart from Holy Thursday, when, among other things, we commemorate Jesus Christ’s establishment of the Eucharist. That day, set in the context of the Easter Triduum, is busy with many symbols and actions. Today we turn our full attention to the body and blood of Christ, given to us in the forms of bread and wine. THE CUP OF SALVATION Jesus, in Mark’s Gospel, identifies the cup of salvation for us. It is the cup of his blood, the blood of the covenant. This blood fulfills the old covenant, the one marked by Moses when he sprinkled the Israelites with the blood of sacrificed animals. Now we take up the cup of the new covenant, the cup of salvation, and we call upon the name of the Lord. How can this action make a return to the Lord? Only this way: In this action we offer to God the only perfect gift. Alone we are nothing. It is Christ who is the perfect offering. It is through the total gift of his body and blood that we have been redeemed. Today’s Readings: Ex 24:3–8; Ps 116:12–13, 15–18; Heb 9:11–15; Mk 14:12–16, 22–26 7 de junio de 2015 El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo Las antiguas palabras del Salmo 116 resuenan frescas y nuevas en el salmo responsorial de hoy. Cuando el salmista pregunta como él o alguien puede pagarle a Dios por todo el bien que Dios le ha hecho, está haciendo eco a nuestra oración de maravillada gratitud. ¿Cómo puede alguno de nosotros recompensar o pagarle a Dios? En este salmo, el salmista nos dice lo que debemos hacer: Levantaré el cáliz de salvación e “invocaré el nombre del Señor” (Salmo 116:13). Esta necesidad primordial de dar gracias y pagarle a Dios motiva a la Iglesia a darnos esta solemnidad del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo, una celebración separada del Jueves Santo cuando, entre otras cosas, conmemoramos el establecimiento de la Eucaristía. Ese día, situado en el contexto del triduo de Pascua, está ocupado por muchos símbolos y acciones. Hoy, damos toda nuestra atención al Cuerpo y a la Sangre de Cristo, entregados a nosotros en forma de pan y vino. LA COPA DE SALVACIÓN En el Evangelio de Marcos, Jesús identifica para nosotros la copa de salvación. Es la copa de su sangre, la sangre de la alianza. Esta sangre cumple la antigua alianza, aquella que fue marcada por Moisés cuando salpicó a los israelitas con la sangre de los animales sacrificados. Ahora alzamos la copa de la nueva alianza, la copa de salvación e invocamos el nombre del Señor. ¿Cómo puede esta acción ser un pago al Señor? Sólo de esta manera: en esta acción ofrecemos a Dios el único regalo perfecto. Solos, somos nada. Cristo es la ofrenda perfecta. Es mediante el regalo total de su cuerpo y sangre que somos redimidos.

But as early as the middle of the second century Justin Martyr referred to the blessed bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper as “food we call ‘thanksgiving’ ” (in Greek eucharistia). The Thanksgiving we celebrate in the autumn is at times marked by a sort of proud societal self‑congratulation and the consumption of food until we sink into an inert stupor. The “thanksgiving” that we call our Eucharist is just the opposite: we are led to it by an acknowledgment of our own failings; we remember our humble place in the scheme of things by giving praise to God alone. While the food of Christ’s body and blood fills our spiritual hungers, it also creates in us a greater hunger. We are not sent to our spiritual sofas to let the Lord’s Supper settle; we are sent to be living signs of that thanksgiving for the world by looking out for the poor and powerless, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, speaking out against the self‑righteous. In short, the hunger created by our doing in remembrance of Christ must lead us to living in remembrance of him. ******* REFLEJOS ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS El Día de Acción de Gracias que celebramos en el otoño a veces se ve marcado por una especie de orgullo y autofelicitación por parte de nuestra sociedad, por no hablar de comilonas que nos llevan hasta el estupor. Pero la “acción de gracias” que en griego se llama “Eucaristía” es al revés: lo que nos lleva a ella es el reconocimiento de nuestras faltas; recordamos nuestra posición humilde en el universo alabando a Dios, y a nadie más que a Dios. Es verdad que el alimento del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo sacia el hambre de nuestro espíritu, pero también es verdad que ese alimento crea en nosotros un hambre más intensa aun. Al terminar la Misa no nos envían a un sofá espiritual a sentarnos en lo que la Cena del Señor se nos asienta en el estómago; más bien, nos envían al mundo a ser signos vivientes de esa Acción de Gracias, ayudando a los pobres y desvalidos, alimentando a los hambrientos, cuidando a los enfermos, protestando contra las actitudes farisaicas. En fin, el hambre producida en nosotros al hacer el Memorial de Jesús nos tiene que impulsar a vivir “en memoria de él”.
