The word thanksgiving most o en calls to our mind the holiday in November.
But as early as the middle of the second century Jus n Martyr referred to the
blessed bread and wine of the Lords Supper as food we call thanksgiving
(in Greek eucharis a). The Thanksgiving we celebrate in the autumn is at mes
marked by a sort of proud societal self congratula on and the consump on of
food un l we sink into an inert stupor. The thanksgiving that we call our Eucharist
is just the opposite: we are led to it by an acknowledgment of our own failings; we
remember our humble place in the scheme of things by giving praise to God alone.
While the food of Christs body and blood fills our spiritual hungers, it also
creates in us a greater hunger. We are not sent to our spiritual sofas to let the
Lords Supper se le; we are sent to be living signs of that thanksgiving for the
world by looking out for the poor and powerless, feeding the hungry, caring for the
sick, speaking out against the self righteous. In short, the hunger created by our
doing in remembrance of Christ must lead us to living in remembrance of him.

San Juan

siglo XVII,
propag la
devocin al
Corazn de
Mara, aquel
corazn que
haba
guardado todas las
cosas. En el corazn de la
Madre se aprende el amor
cercano y erno de Dios. En el
siglo XX, el Papa Po XII
consagr el mundo al Corazn
de Mara pidiendo paz entre
las naciones, libertad para la
Iglesia, conversin de los pecadores y prc ca de las virtudes. Se trata de venerar el
corazn de una mujer llena del
Espritu Santo, que nos puede
conducir, como nadie, al Corazn de Jess. La fiesta se celebra el sbado despus de Corpus Chris , este ao el 13 de
junio.
Dentro de ese corazn se ha de
formar el tuyo. En ese corazn
hemos de aprender delicadezas
de amor para con el mismo Cristo.

ACCIN DE
GRACIAS
El Da de Accin
de Gracias que celebramos en el otoo a veces se ve marcado
por una especie de orgullo y auto felicitacin por parte de
nuestra sociedad, por no hablar de comilonas que nos llevan
hasta el estupor. Pero la accin de gracias que en griego se
llama Eucaris a es al revs: lo que nos lleva a ella es el
reconocimiento de nuestras faltas; recordamos nuestra
posicin humilde en el universo alabando a Dios, y a nadie ms
que a Dios.
Es verdad que el alimento del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo sacia el hambre de nuestro
espritu, pero tambin es verdad que ese alimento crea en nosotros un hambre ms intensa aun.
Al terminar la Misa no nos envan a un sof espiritual a sentarnos en lo que la Cena del Seor se
nos asienta en el estmago; ms bien, nos envan al mundo a ser signos vivientes de esa Accin
de Gracias, ayudando a los pobres y desvalidos, alimentando a los hambrientos, cuidando a los
enfermos, protestando contra las ac tudes farisaicas. En fin, el hambre producida en nosotros al
hacer el Memorial de Jess nos ene que impulsar a vivir en memoria de l.

El mayor amor
Las lecturas de domingo, 7 de junio y su mensaje
Ex 24:3-8
Al bajar Moiss de la montaa, transmite lo que le ha
entregado Dios. El pueblo acepta los mandatos y se compromete a observarlos. Moiss entonces pide a los jvenes
que ofrezcan sacriicios, ya que esto no es exclusiva sacerdotal. En el sacriicio, la sangre de las vc mas se divida en dos
mitades: una se ofrece a Yahv y otra se roca sobre el altar.
Es un signo de la alianza entre Dios y el pueblo. Las palabras
de Jess en la l ma cena (sta es la nueva alianza en mi
sangre) nos dicen que xodo est en el trasfondo de las
palabras de Jess, y hablar de nueva alianza implica la
realizacin del orculo de Jeremas (31:31-34).
Heb 9:11-15
Cristo, sumo sacerdote de la nueva alianza, es aqu comparado a los sacerdotes lev cos, que entraban en el templo
una vez al ao para hacer una puriicacin externa por la
sangre de los animales. Cristo, sacerdote de la lnea de Melquisedec, entra una sola vez y, con su propia sangre, realiza
la redencin eterna. Es la sangre que libera del pecado y
san fica a la persona para acercarla al Dios viviente.
Mc 14:12-16, 22-26
Recompensar al anitrin (es decir, invitarle en una nueva
celebracin a la propia casa) era una norma de cortesa en
la an gedad de Israel. La invitacin de Jess a invitar a
personas que no pueden recompensar presenta el ideal de
otra manera de vivir al es lo de Dios. Se menciona, incluso,
no slo a pobres, sino a gente despreciada: enfermos, ciegos,
cojos, lisiados. En los escritos del Qumran estos enfermos
estaban excluidos del banquete escatolgico y de la fiesta
que le segua. Los caminos son las afueras de la ciudad: al
banquete estn invitados tambin los gen les. Nadie entra
al Reino sin invitacin; nadie queda fuera si no es por su
propia voluntad. Los que al inal se sientan son personas a
quienes los tradicionales grupos religiosos les negaban la
communion con Dios: los pobres, los publicanos y los
extranjeros.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Al simo Seor, un bellsimo himno tradicional canta con
asombro y maravilla la humildad de Jesucristo quien siendo divino no
slo muri por nosotros sino que tambin se hace nuestro manjar en
un pedacito de pan. Nos invita al convite de amor para amar y
recibir a quien por m, quiso morir.
Esta espiritualidad eucars ca es buena, pero sera an
mejor recordar que el cordero divino no muri slo por m, sino por
nosotros. El cris ano es cris ano en La medida que se relaciona en
la Iglesia, la gran familia de Dios. El Cuerpo de Cristo se forma no slo
de granos de trigo sino de hombres y mujeres bau zadas. Su cuerpo no se encuentra
slo en un altar sino en los cris anos unidos para la misa. El cuerpo de Cristo est en la
hos a pero tambin se encuentra en todo creyente. Abre los ojos y con asombro y
maravilla, vers a Jesucristo en nuestra unin de fe. Jess est tan presente en la Iglesia
como en sus tabernculos y sagrarios. Juntos somos el pan de la vida que da gracia y
