Tantas veces decimos a otras personas que los amamos, pero… Ese pero pone un obstáculo en el amor que tenemos para
con la otra persona. Ponemos condiciones. No mostramos
nuestro amor 100% al otro.
Seguramente antes de la tortura y muerte de Jesús, Pedro pensó que amaba a Jesús, pero cuando llegó la noche de la entrega
de Jesús por Judas, Pedro, lleno de miedo y debilidad, negó a
Jesús no una o dos veces, sino tres veces y con insistencia. En
el evangelio de hoy vemos otro Pedro; es él, estando en la barca,
que reconoce a Jesús desde la distancia: “Es el Señor.” No tenía
la paciencia de esperar la llegada de la barca a la orilla del lago;
se tiró al agua. Después comieron juntos; tantas veces habían
comido juntos, y así formando relaciones más fuertes. Podemos
preguntarnos: ¿Cómo familia comemos juntos para conversar,
saber lo que está pasando en las vidas de los demás y para entendernos mejor?
Después de comer, en la presencia de los demás Jesús le hace
a Pedro la pregunta: “¿Me amas? Pedro está al lado de Jesucristo resucitado, y puede ser que esté sintiéndose mal por las negaciones previas, pero ahora se siente alegre porque Jesús muerto
es vivo, y habla a Pedro con tanto amor. Tres veces Jesús hace
la pregunta, “¿Me amas?” Cada respuesta de Pedro le ayuda
entrar más profundamente en su amor y relación con Jesús. Con
insistencia Pedro confiesa su amor para Jesús vivo. El enfatiza
el amor que tiene para con Jesús. ¡Qué diferencia hay! ¡Ahora
no es Jesús sufriente sino Jesús resucitado! Jesús ahora le encomienda la tarea de cuidar los seguidores de Jesús, de hacer una
tarea pastoral: de predicar, anunciar y ofrecer a otras personas
todo lo que había recibido. Tan feliz es Pedro; Jesús lo ha perdonado y ahora está pidiéndole ayudar a compartir la verdad de
Jesús con otros: “apacienta mis corderos,” “pastorea mis ovejas,” y “sígueme.”
Hoy en día ¿qué significa amar a Jesús y apacentar sus corderos? Es cuidar las vidas de los hijos; es enseñarles sobre Dios
Padre, Jesucristo y el Espíritu Santo; es educar cristianamente
con la palabra y el ejemplo a los hijos y a los que no conocen a
Dios. Es ayudar a los que están alejados de la Iglesia por invitarles acompañarte a la iglesia, y es orar por ellos. Es mirar por
el bienestar material y espiritual de todos que se encuentran a
nuestro servicio. Por hacer todo esto y mucho más estamos demostrando nuestro amor. Vamos formando relaciones y lazos
de amor con estos corderos de Jesús. Jesús nos pregunta a cada
uno de nosotros: “¿Me amas?” El amor es más que sentimiento,
más profundo que la alegría que se lleva. El amor no es solamente morir por el otro, sino vivir por el otro. El amor es estimar y querer a la otra persona por sí no más, a pesar de las consecuencias.
¿Cómo amas a Jesucristo? ¿Cómo amas a tu pareja? ¿Cómo
amas a tu madre y a tu padre? ¿Cómo amas a tus hijos? ¿Cómo
amas a tu amigo? ¿Cómo amas a tu prójimo? ¿Cómo amas a ti
mismo? Hermana Kay

Third Sunday Of Easter
St. Michael Church
Newark, New York
Dear Parish Family,
In this week’s Gospel from John, Jesus reveals himself to the
disciples for the third time, after being raised from the dead.
Jesus took time to light a fire in order to prepare breakfast for
his disciples. Often, gospel stories talk about people preparing
meals and serving them. Jesus seemed to say a lot through
meals and at meals. He allowed a woman to dry his feet with
her hair at a meal, one of his first meetings with people was a
wedding meal, he sat and ate with sinners and tax collectors
and then there is the Last Supper where Jesus gave himself to
all of us in the bread and wine. This gospel reminds me how
the act of cooking is an act of love. Jesus loved his disciples,
and showed that love by cooking a simple breakfast of bread
and fish.
After Jesus’ death and resurrection comes the Spirit of Love.
Love given, Love received, and Love shared. In cooking for
people, love is active, even if others don’t see it as a sign of
love. My mother always enjoyed having her family over on a
Sunday for a meal. She would prepare everything herself,
never wanting help with the cooking. She did this for us
because she loved us and wanted to share and enjoy meals
together. My mother came from a very poor family, so being
able to provide to us, what she didn’t have as a child, was one
of her greatest joys. I write this about my mom in the past
tense because, after suffering a stroke during open heart
surgery, she is no longer able to cook large meals for the
family, it just takes too much energy and takes her several
days to recover. So, now when we gather for family meals, we
all pitch in and cook something to share in the meal together, a
sign of love to each other.
The breakfast meal with Jesus will end with questions about
love and being sent on the mission of Jesus, simply put,
“Follow me.” How do you follow Jesus on a daily basis?
How do you share in a meal of love with others?
Peace & love to all, June
