29 de mayo de 2016 El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo May 29, 2016 • The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ In Genesis, it is an intimate gathering. Melchizedek, both a king and a priest, blesses Abram, a man chosen by God, using the simple food and drink of ordinary meals. Abram’s response is to offer God a part, ten percent, of everything he has. In Corinthians, Paul remembers the gathering of friends and family, the blessing of bread and wine at the meal the night before Jesus died. Jesus gave, not just part of everything he had, but all he was: his Body and Blood. In Luke, the meal is large, unplanned, and most there are strangers. Jesus’ response is simple, “Feed them.” The Apostles, overwhelmed by the number of people and their scant resources, don’t know what to do. But Jesus, taking what is available, two loaves and five fishes, offers a blessing and there is more than enough. THE MAKINGS OF A LIFE Growing up, my family said grace before each meal, recognizing that what nourished us came from the work and sacrifice of other hands, those who grew the crops and those who prepared them for eating. We asked for a blessing on the fruits of those who labored. We recognized that even the simplest meal comes from the bounty of God through the sacrifice of Jesus. It is the blessing that transforms each of these meals and the participants. The value of the nourishment, bodily or spiritual, is blessed, remembered, and celebrated. Abram, Paul, and Jesus understood where our nourishment comes from. Our lives are nourished in body, mind, and spirit by the sacrifice of others. Today, and with every meal, we remember and bless the sacrifice of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, who gave his all that we might be saved and transformed. Today’s Readings: Gn 14:18–20; Ps 110:1–4; 1 Cor 11:23–26; Lk 9:11b–17 En el libro de Génesis, hay una reunión intima; Melquisedec, un rey y sacerdote, bendice a Abram, un hombre escogido por Dios, usando lo ordinario de una comida, alimentos y bebida. La respuesta de Abram es ofrecer a Dios una parte, el diez porciento de todo lo que tiene. En la carta a los corintios, Pablo recuerda la reunión de los amigos y la familia, la bendición del pan y el vino en la cena la noche antes de que Jesús muriera. Jesús dio, no solamente una parte de todo lo que tenía, sino todo lo que él era: su Cuerpo y su Sangre. En Lucas, la comida es grande, improvisada y además hay personas extranjeras. La respuesta de Jesús es sencilla, “denles de comer”. Los apóstoles abrumados por el número de personas y sus escasos recursos, no saben que hacer. Pero Jesús, usando lo que está disponible, dos panes y cinco pescados, ofrece una bendición y hay más que suficiente. LA PREPARACIÓN DE UNA VIDA Conforme crecía, mi familia hacia una oración antes de comer, reconociendo que lo que nos alimenta viene del trabajo y sacrificio de otras manos, aquellas que cultivaron los campos y que los prepararon para que los comiéramos. Pedíamos una bendición por los frutos de quienes trabajaban. Reconocíamos que aún la comida más sencilla viene de la generosidad de Dios por medio del sacrificio de Jesús. Es la bendición la que transforma a cada comida de la que participamos. El valor de los alimentos, corporales y espirituales, es una bendición; recordada y celebrada. Abram, Pablo y Jesús entendieron de donde nos vienen los alimentos. Nuestras vidas están alimentadas en cuerpo, mente y espíritu por el sacrificio de otras personas. Hoy, y en cada comida, recordemos y bendigamos el sacrificio del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo, quien dio todo lo que podía salvarse y transformarse.
