GOSPEL MEDITATION
3
3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Human history reveals many periods where people lost a
sense of God’s transcendence. It may even be argued that
human beings have been wandering and lost more than
they have been at home and focused. Human nature be-
ing what it is, we struggle with who God really is — the God of our salvation history or the “gods” of human con-
structs. Relying on our own designs and pursuits, we for-
get that we really are meant to listen to One upon whom
the Spirit of the Lord rests, Jesus Christ, and not to our-
selves. That same history that reveals our fickleness and infidelity also reveals God’s constancy and faithfulness.
God always finds us.
As people wander and fumble to find their way, God is
there bringing them back to holiness and giving them the
assurance of His presence. We have to allow God’s Word, God’s life, to touch us and change us. It can make us more
flexible and attentive to the sacred in all facets of life so
that every day is one that is holy. Every day is a time when
fulfillment is possible for one’s soul. Jesus stood before
those gathered in the synagogue as the fulfillment of
words of promise that were echoed long ago. God doesn’t forget. He always comes for us.
Now it is time to remember to go to God. Sometimes our
lives are so confused and tangled that it is difficult to see
the Word and hand of God. But when we realize, deep within, the depth of friendship God offers to us it really
has the power to turn sadness to joy. The promise is ful-
filled. Going frequently to God’s Word, allowing ourselves
to be enriched and rejuvenated, and pondering the cer-
tainly of God’s fidelity and promise permanently trans-forms us. We will be more aware of the sacred and the
holy and less invested in things that pull us away.
3er Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
“Canten al Señor un cántico nuevo, hombres de toda la tierra, canten al Señor. Hay brillo y esplendor en su presencia, y en su templo, belleza y majestad” (Salmo 95, 1,67). La esperanza de Jesús para su pueblo y para
toda la humanidad empieza aquí con este pasaje de la
Sagrada Escritura. Un mundo nuevo y diverso, sin divi-
siones ni estatus sociales que dividen y matan. Por el
contario una tierra redimida y armoniosa, sin tinieblas
ni miedos. Esta sigue siendo la esperanza de Jesús por
medio de su Iglesia, que siempre, domingo a domingo,
nos invita a acoger el Evangelio de Cristo. Abrazar su
mensaje y dejarlo penetrar en el corazón hasta que dé
fruto. Esto significa también todas sus exigencias de
amor que conlleva en el cumplimiento de sus manda-
mientos.
Buscar la paz y la reconciliación en la familia y en la so-ciedad requiere el esfuerzo de todos. ¡Nada es fácil sin el Espíritu del Señor! Para ser efectivos en la misión que él nos encomienda como bautizados, debemos de tener amor por los demás y saber reconciliarnos unos a otros, tomando la dirección apropiada que demues-tre que somos discípulos suyos. Jesús pasó haciendo el bien, curando y haciendo milagros porque sabía que: “El Espíritu del Señor esta sobre mí. Él me ha ungido para llevar buenas noticias a los pobres, para anunciar la libertad a los cautivos y a los ciegos que pronto van a ver, para poner en libertad a los oprimidos y proclamar el año de gracia del Señor” (Lucas 4,18-19). ¿Qué bue-nas noticias llevas tú a los que te rodean?

FAITH REFLECTION
Jesus in the Eucharist #26 by Deacon Joe
At every Catholic mass an extraordinary miracle occurs. Despite whether the choir is great, the
preaching profound, or the number of people in attendance large or small, the bread and wine through the
power of the Holy Spirit are transformed into the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The astonishing
truth of this tenet of our faith is supported by a miracle that occurred in the year 1216 in Benningen, Germa-
ny. One of two millers, who had been feuding with each other for years, stole a consecrated Host. He then
hid the Host between his neighbor’s millstones with the intent of slandering him and destroying his reputa-
tion. On the feast of St. Gregory, the Host began to bleed so profusely that the Bishop and the entire village
became aware of it. The blasphemous miller repented and confessed his misdeed. The Bishop of Augsburg
deposited the Host in a special container. Each year on the feast of Corpus Christi the parishioners of Ben-
ningen process to the Riedkapelle to commemorate the miracle. Unfortunately, because of the many centuries of wars and politi-
cal upheaval, the precious relic has been lost.
Jesús en la Eucaristía #26 escrito por Deacon Joe
En todas y cada una de las misas a las que asistimos ocurre un evento milagroso. Por el poder del Espíritu Santo y las palabras de
consagración pronunciadas por el sacerdote, el pan y el vino se convierten en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
Por lo tanto, somos invitados a comer Su Cuerpo y beber Su Sangre para que podamos ser transformados en embajadores del
amor de Dios enviados a proclamar Su Evangelio en palabra y obra.
A lo largo de los siglos, Dios ha provisto eventos milagrosos para corroborar esta verdad. Uno de estos eventos ocurrió en Augsburgo, Alemania, en el año 1194. Una mujer particularmente devota del Santísimo Sacramento escondió una hostia en su pañuelo, la llevó a su casa y la colocó en un recipiente de cera dentro de un armario. Pasaron cinco años y el 11 de mayo de 1199, la mujer atormentada por el remordimiento confesó lo que había hecho. Padre Bertold insistió en que le devolviera la Hostia. Cuando abrió el recipiente de cera vio que la Hostia se había transformado en Carne sangrante. El obispo Udalskalk ordenó que la Hostia fuera trasladada a la catedral y exhibida en una custodia de cristal para el culto público. El milagro continuó: la Hostia co-menzó a crecer e hincharse, y este fenómeno fue visto por todos desde el Domingo de Resurrección hasta la fiesta de San Juan Bautista. Además del milagro eucarístico, se produjeron otros acontecimientos extraordinarios, como la aparición sobre la Hostia del Niño Jesús vestido de blanco con el rostro radiante, la frente rodeada por una corona de oro, el sangrado del crucifijo de la Iglesia y la aparición de Jesús bendiciendo a la asamblea.
