REFLECTIONS
HAVE A SAFE & BLESSED
PEACE
4TH OF JULY WEEKEND!
The greeting of peace at Mass adds substance to a message
of today’s readings: peace is relational. When we greet in
peace the person near us at Mass, we share the touch of a
handshake or embrace, sincere eye contact, and friendly
words.
The scriptures speak of a similar peace. The first reading
from Isaiah describes the peace of the holy city, Jerusalem, a
place of prosperity and comfort where the “LORD’s power
shall be known to his servants” (Isaiah 66:14c).
The Christian understanding of peace changes slightly. Paul
writes of the “peace and mercy” on all who are created
anew. Jesus describes a feeling of peace that will rest on
those who accept his disciples and their message.
Peace is both an absence of strife and a personal blessing.
May we always and sincerely bring peace to our own lives
as we share it with others.

REFLEJOS
LA PAZ
El saludo de la paz en la Misa fundamenta un mensaje de las
lecturas de hoy: la paz es relacional. Cuando le damos la paz
a la persona que está cerca de nosotros en la Misa, compartimos el roce de un apretón de manos o un abrazo, el contacto
visual sincero y palabras amistosas.
Las Escrituras hablan de una paz similar. La primera lectura
de Isaías describe la paz como la ciudad sagrada, Jerusalén,
un lugar de prosperidad y de consuelo donde “Los siervos
del Señor conocerán su poder”.
El entendimiento cristiano de la paz cambia ligeramente. San
Pablo escribe sobre “la paz y la misericordia” para todos los
que son nuevas criaturas. Jesús describe un sentimiento de
paz que se posará sobre los que aceptan a sus discípulos y a
su mensaje.
La paz es tanto la ausencia de conflictos como una bendición
personal. Que siempre y sinceramente traigamos paz a nuestras propias vidas mientras la compartimos con los demás.
