Give Thanks for Our Blessings
There is a Haitian proverb which says when you give thanks you are also saying “do
this again.” Gratitude always pulls in more gifts. When we give thanks, we are recognizing what was freely given, that which we did not earn nor did anything to deserve.
This attitude, a product of humility and simplicity, always invites us to give more. And
it also invites us to imitate those who generously give. When Jesus picks up the bread,
the first thing he did was to give thanks. We must give thanks no matter how insignificant it may appear, according to today’s readings. Clearly, the bread presented to Jesus
by the disciples was not sufficient to feed the multitude. Yet, Jesus gave thanks. There
are often times where we can’t stop feeling sorry for ourselves over the things we don’t
have, instead of giving thanks for what we do. No matter how small it may be in giving
thanks, the action of giving is multiplied.
We may often think that we have nothing to offer the community. We don’t have very
much talent or time, or we don’t think we have the necessary capabilities. But that was
the same thing the friends of Jesus said: they didn’t have enough to feed themselves,
much less to feed five thousand people. But by giving thanks and presenting it to God, it
was multiplied. It is in the sharing that things become multiplied.
Interestingly, what becomes multiplied is only what is given entirely. If it remains
stashed away, the possibility of being multiplied ceases to exist. By not giving thanks
for what little we have and not putting it into the service of others, it does not have the
opportunity to multiply and give fruit. It is not that this happens sometimes and not others, by chance or at random. Every time you give, it happens. What we give is returned
to us, increased and multiplied a thousand ways.
For Reflection
What am I afraid to give to others out of the fear that it will run out? What excuses or
justifications do I use so that I don’t have to be devoted to my work, mission or task?

Ser Agradecido Por uestras Bendiciones
Hay un dicho haitiano que asegura que quien da las gracias, en realidad también dice:
“hazlo otra vez”. El agradecimiento siempre acarrea más regalos. Cuando se da gracias,
se reconoce que lo recibido es gratuito, que no se ha ganado ni se ha hecho ningún
mérito para obtenerlo.
Esa actitud, que es un producto de la humildad y de la sencillez, siempre
invita a dar más. Y también invita a imitar a quien entrega con generosidad. Cuando Jesús toma el pan, lo primero que hace siempre es dar las
gracias. Por poca cosa que parezca, según la lectura de hoy. Evidentemente, con aquel pan, no había suficiente para la multitud. Pero Jesús da
las gracias. Quizás muchas veces nosotros nos paramos a lamentar lo
que no tenemos en lugar de dar gracias por lo que sí tenemos, aunque
parezca muy poco. Al dar gracias, se multiplica la acción de dar.
Es el
compartir
que
multiplica
las cosas.
Muchas veces también podríamos pensar que no tenemos mucho que ofrecer a la comunidad. No tenemos mucho talento, o mucho tiempo, o no nos consideramos capaces.
Pero eso era lo mismo que decían los amigos de Jesús: no tenían ni siquiera casi para
ellos, mucho menos para dar de comer a cinco mil. Pero, al dar gracias y presentárselo a
Dios, se multiplica. Es el compartir que multiplica las cosas.
Curiosamente, lo que se multiplica es solamente lo que se entrega por completo. Si se
quedara encerrado no tendría ninguna posibilidad de multiplicarse. Al no dar gracias por
eso poco que se tiene, al no ponerlo a disposición de otros, no tiene oportunidad de multiplicarse y dar fruto.
Y no es que unas veces ocurra y otras no, al azar. Siempre que se da, ocurre. Lo que
se entrega se nos regresa aumentado, multiplicado de mil maneras.
Para La Relexión
¿Qué tengo miedo de entregar por si se me acaba? ¿Cuáles son mis excusas y justificaciones para no entregarme a un trabajo, una misión o una tarea?

Comunión Espiritual
Creo, Jesús mío,
Que estás real y
Verdaderamente en el cielo y
En el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar.
Os amo sobre todas las cosas
Y deseo vivamente recibirte
Dentro de mi alma,
Pero no pudiendo hacerlo
Ahora sacramentalmente,
Venid al menos
Espiritualmente a mi corazón.
Y como si ya os hubiese recibido,
Os abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti.
Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte
de Ti. Amén.
Congratulations
