MEDITACIÓN AL EVANGÉLIO �

El ser humano por naturaleza es terco y obs�nado, de

corazón duro y le resulta muy di�cil creer en las

realidades que vive. Por ejemplo: ya ha pasado más de

un año de estar viviendo esta pandemia y aún existen

personas que no creen en ella. Han perdido la vida

miles de personas alrededor del mundo y muchos

siguen obs�nados en su propio círculo. “¡Mientras a mí

no me toque, que importan los demás!”. La experiencia

que hemos estado viviendo nos invita al cambio; es

�empo de darnos cuenta que somos frágiles y que la

ciencia y la medicina, sin el poder Dios, no quedan en

nada. �

�

Hoy, en el Evangelio, Jesús insiste en dar a conocer a los de su �empo, y a nosotros, que él

es el Pan bajado del cielo para dar vida. Pero la gente seguía en su misma terquedad. No lo

escucharon, mucho menos abrieron los ojos para ver. “Conocemos a su padre y a su madre,

¿no es cierto? Él no es sino Jesús, el hijo de José. ¿Cómo puede decir que ha bajado del

cielo?” (Juan 6:42). Que terrible confusión, para ellos era imposible darse cuenta de lo que

Jesús seguía anunciando: “Yo soy el pan vivo bajado del cielo. El que coma de este pan vivirá

para siempre. El pan que yo daré es mi carne, y lo daré para la vida del mundo” (Juan 6:51).

Bien, y ahora, ¿qué sigue? Yo creo que debemos reflexionar en la siguiente pregunta: ¿Por

qué mucha gente que asiste a Misa no comulga? Quizá porque no cree que Cristo es el

verdadero pan del cielo. Recordemos que la EucarisBa es el alimento espiritual para la

jornada. ¡Acerquémonos a este Pan! ©LPi�

Registraciones de Catecismo 2021�2022�

Confirmación, nuestro nuevo Obispo Parkes cambio el año escolar en

que los niños pueden entrar a primer año de Confirmación. Ahora

Vivir la Liturgia�

¿Estamos dispuestos a que Dios nos enseñe? �

Si lo estamos, entonces comenzaremos a ver las

cosas y a emi'r juicios usando un lente Divino. �

A menudo, percibimos las cosas con ojos y pun-

tos de referencia puramente humanos. Cuando

hacemos esto, la realidad puede perder su

chispa Divina y perdemos lo que Dios está

tratando de decir. Cuando se usan

exclusivamente los ojos humanos, en el mejor de

los casos, Jesús es percibido simplemente como

un profeta que 'ene algunas cosas sabias que

decir. Al elemento humano le cuesta ver la

divinidad de Jesús y reconocerlo como el Pan de

Vida que desciende del cielo. Podemos

fácilmente quedarnos atascados en las

asociaciones humanas de Jesús y pasar por alto

los maravillosos prodigios que Dios quiere que

veamos. Si realmente nos dejamos enseñar por

Dios, llegaremos a ver la verdad acerca de Jesús

y la abundante vida eterna que Dios ofrece.

Jesús se convierte en la llave que abre todas

nuestras relaciones: con Dios, los demás,

nosotros mismos y la creación. Él, como el pan

verdadero y duradero del cielo, nos muestra los

dones de fe, esperanza y amor que Dios nos

concede. A través de

este lente divino,

vemos que toda la

vida brilla y �

resplandece con el

amor de Dios.�
