AMEN
Take a look around the walls of your church. Even if it’s
only a year or two old, the word “Amen” has resounded off
those walls countless times at the conclusion of the Eucharistic Prayer and as the faithful have come forward to receive
the Body and Blood of Christ. Today’s feast is about those
“Amens” offered in faith, offered in times of trouble or
doubt, spoken in joy, spoken mindlessly, but all given to
God in a multitude of ways. It is our very lives that lie behind our “Amens” and are touched by the presence of Christ,
the presence we celebrate today. More importantly, we celebrate the love of Christ for us shown in the sacrifice on Calvary and that he continues to give to us in every celebration
of the Eucharist. What can we do but rejoice in that great
love, and then go out into the world and live that love in sacrificing for others? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Amén
Mira alrededor de las paredes de tu iglesia. No importa si
sólo tiene uno o dos años de construida, la palabra “Amén” ha
resonado en sus paredes un número incontable de veces al
concluir la Oración Eucarística y cuando los fieles se acercan
a recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. La fiesta de hoy es
sobre esos “Amenes” ofrecidos en fe, en momentos de dificultad o duda, pronunciados con alegría, o distraidamente, pero
todos entregados a Dios de alguna manera. Nuestra vida misma está detrás de esos “Amenes” que han sido afectados por
la presencia de Cristo, la presencia que celebramos hoy. Más
importante aún, celebramos el amor de Cristo que nos lo dio
en su entrega total en el Calvario y que continúa dándonos en
su autosacrificio de cada Eucaristía. ¿Podemos hacer otra cosa
que no sea alegrarnos por ese gran amor, y luego salir al mundo a vivir ese amor en nuestro autosacrificio por otros?
