FEEDING THE WORLD

With todays two accounts of feeding miracles and the psalm
response about the Lords hand feeding us, it is easy to gloss over the
marvelous hymn in Ephesians. It is built around the most potent biblical
numbers: one, three, and seven. The core of it is the word one expressed
seven mes. Three of these describe the church: one body, one Spirit, one
hope; the next three are the founda ons of the church: one Lord [Jesus], one
faith, one bap sm. All of these are bound up together in the one Father of all.
While we might feel daunted by the prospect of duplica ng the wonders
worked by Elisha and Jesus in the feeding of mul tudes, Ephesians gives us a
more realis c way to live and feed others as the church: by living in
humility and gentleness, by ac ng with pa ence, bearing with each other in
love, and always seeking and striving to preserve unity through peace. Who
among us cannot increase the way we feed the church and the world by
living this way? We are always called upon to feed the world in the literal
sense; but our mission as church tells us that others are also fed by the way
we live and act each moment of each day.

Jesus feeds a large crowd with five barley loaves and two fish.

Christs presence in the world

Theres a bit of a missing link in the first two sentences of todays
Gospel from Mark. In the first, the apostles return from having been sent
out on mission two by two (one who is sent is the meaning of apostle).
Their instruc ons were to preach repentance, drive out demons, and heal
the sick in Jesus name. In the second sentence, Jesus tells them to come
away with him and rest a while. It would be nice for us to imagine that,
between those two sentences, a look of amazed gra tude and pleasure
crossed the face of Jesus as he hears of the kingdom proclaimed in his name,
and how they didnt have to shake the dust o their feet anywhere. They
deserved a rest! It might not be bad for us, when we gather together with
Jesus as the apostles do today, to do this kind of debriefing, allowing the
Lord to hear what weve sought to do in his name, our successes, our
failures, our need to get away with him for a while to be for fied for further
work in Gods name. For we, the bap zed, are not only the flock of Jesus
Christ; through water and the power of the Spirit we have also become the
Body of Christ, the presence of the Shepherd for the life of the world.

Pregunta de la Semana
Cules son mis panes y pescados?
Cules son los humildes ofrecimientos
que puedo poner en manos de Jess esta
semana, para satisfacer el hambre de mi
propia familia y de mis amigos, y lo de
otras personas que permanecern extraas
para mi hasta que me decida a compartir
con ellas?

Al or las narraciones de cmo Eliseo y Jess

mul plican los alimentos, y el salmo responsorial sobre como la mano del Seor nos alimenta,
es fcil caer en la tentacin de pasar por alto el
maravilloso himno de la carta a los efesios en la
Segunda lectura. El himno se centra en los nmeros ms potentes de la tradicin bblica: el
uno, el tres y el siete. La mdula del himno es el
nmero uno, repe do siete veces. Tres de ellas
se refieren a la Iglesia: un solo cuerpo, un solo
Espritu, como tambin una sola es la esperanza.
Los prximas tres son los fundamentos de la
Iglesia: un solo Seor, una sola fe, un solo bausmo. Y todos estos se juntan en un solo Dios y
Padre de todos. La idea de repe r los milagros
obrados por Eliseo y por Jess al alimentar las
mul tudes nos desalienta, claro est, pero la
carta a los efesios nos ofrece un modo ms realizable de vivir como Iglesia y de alimentar a los
dems en la Iglesia: ser siempre humildes y amables; ser comprensivos y soportarnos mutuamente con amor, y esforzarnos en mantenernos
unidos en el Espritu con el vnculo de la paz.
Quin de nosotros no puede alimentar a la
comunidad de la Iglesia viviendo de esta manera? Es verdad que siempre estamos llamados a
alimentar al mundo en el sen do literal de la
palabra, pero nuestra misin como Iglesia tambin nos dice que a los dems tambin hay que
alimentarlos por la manera en que vivimos y
actuamos cada momento de cada da.

Las lecturas y su mensaje

2 Re 4:42-44
Jud e Israel crecen bajo Salomn y conocen la bonanza, el gozo y la seguridad. Las imgenes del texto expresan la promesa de Dios a su pueblo, que ahora se cumple.
Ms an, el rey es soberano de un imperio
inmenso.
Ef 4:1-6

Se habla aqu de la unidad en el Espritu. Tanto el

sen do trinitario como los precedentes nos inclinan a mantener la mayscula de Espritu Santo. Lo del vnculo de la paz
significa que no es simple ausencia de guerra o de violencia,
sino del bienestar que proviene de la concordia entre las personas. ste es el modelo de iglesia que propone Pablo.
Jn 6:1-15
Este relato cumple la funcin del signo que despus
ser explicado en el discurso. Estaba prxima la Pascua. La
mencin de la Pascua ene aqu un significado par cular. La
Pascua del Pan de Vida es una gran preiguracin de la Pascua
que Jess celebrar en Jerusaln y en la que se consumar el
misterio redentor. El evangelista destaca la accin de tomar
el pan y dar gracias. Este trmino que nos recuerda la Eucaris a es ya una an cipacin de la segunda parte del discurso. La indicacin de 12 canastos ene sin duda un alcance de
dimensin eclesial. Tambin la expresin para que nada se
pierda es muy querida del evangelista. Luego se describe la
reaccin de la gente. La aclamacin para el evangelista ene
un doble sen do. De una parte sera un reconocimiento del
carcter mesinico de Jess; pero de otra parte es prueba de
la existencia de una esperanza mesinica que busca ms el
xito terreno que la salvacin como don divino. El relato termina con la reaccin de Jess: huy al monte solo. Entra aqu
el tema de la naturaleza de la misin e Jess. l no es un rey
terreno, sino el rey de la eternidad.

IGNACIO DE LOYOLA fue un hombre de mundo: un

seor de tierra vasca, un guerrero, un caballero, un
convertido, un fundador universal, uno de los creadores de la Edad Moderna.
Fue un hombre que quiso reencontrar y reinterpretar a Jess, para caminar a su lado, en libertad. Por
eso, sus Ejercicios espirituales son un ejercicio de
encuentro radical con Jess, a solas con el Evangelio
(sin otras mediaciones de ningn tipo, sin rdenes
externas, ni episcopados, ni derechos; cada uno a
solas ante Jess). Ignacio entre los grandes doctors
cristianos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Para los hispanos y las personas de otras culturas, el
recuerdo y vinculacin con nuestros antepasados es algo
muy importante. De hecho, en las culturas la noamericanas se usan los apellidos del padre y de la madre para enfazar de dnde y de quines provienen. Muchas personas
han conservado esta misma tradicin aqu en Estados Unidos. Este sen do de conectarnos a nuestros antepasados
tambin se encuentra en la fe cris ana. Mediante la imposicin de manos, por citar un ejemplo, llegamos hasta los
apstoles.
Podramos decir que los cuatro evangelios subrayan
esta vinculacin con los orgenes de nuestra fe. La forma en
que lo hacen, aunque pequea, es interesante. Luego de
que todos comieron de los panes y los peces mul plicados
por Jess, recogieron doce canastos llenos de pan. En cierta
manera, los evangelistas aseguran que el pan que Jess dio
al gen o de su empo nos lo sigue dando hoy en la eucarisa. Ahora, este pan es la carne de Jess, quien se hace
ofrenda y hos a (sacrificio) por nosotros.Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM,

Nuestra cultura

iempre que hay fiesta, sobra comida. La

gente, enormemente generosa, siempre va y

lleva algo. Aunque al principio parezca que hay mucha gente,
siempre sobra para que se puedan llevar y para los anfitriones comer toda la semana!

Together as church we form a faith
community where no one just adds up
to the number but everybody is
important because we cherish the
potency and gi of everyone. It is our
desire to constantly nourish our faith in
the soil of Gods Word and at the table
of the Eucharist, to be a credible
witness of Gods presence in the world
and each others companion on our
journey of faith.
