Primera lectura: Apocalipsis 7:2-4, 9-14 Segunda lectura: Hebreos 1 Juan 3:1-3

Evangelio: Marcos Mateo 5:1-12a

ANHELAMOS VER EL ROSTRO DE DIOS “Esta es la raza de los que buscan tu rostro Señor”. Esta antífona para el salmo responsorial de hoy brinda el tono de la lecturas de hoy. Cuando en la tierra celebramos la victoria de todos los santos, de los que están canonizados oficialmente por la Iglesia y de los sinnúmero que también han llegado al cielo, no sumamos nada a su gloria. Sino que recibimos un motivo más para tener esperanzas. Nosotros, tam-bién, anhelamos ver el rostro de Dios y creemos que un día podremos estar entre aquellos cuyas túnicas, como nos dice Juan en el libro del Apocalipsis, han sido lavadas y blanqueadas “con la sangre del Corde-ro”.El pasaje de la primera carta del apóstol San Juan nos garantiza que somos hijos de Dios y un día veremos a Dios tal cual es. Pero el Evangelio de hoy nos hace pasar del anhelo y la certeza a la acción. Jesús nos dice claramente qué debemos hacer para estar entre los santos. Debemos ser pobres de espíritu, misericordiosos, limpios de corazón, tener hambre y sed de justicia y trabajar por la paz. Enton-ces, nosotros también veremos el rostro de Dios.

First Reading : Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14). Second Reading 1 John 3:1-3

Gospel : Matthew 5:1-12a WE LONG TO SEE GOD’S FACE “Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.” This anti-phon for today’s responsorial psalm offers the focus for today’s read-ings. As we on earth celebrate the triumph of all the saints—the ones officially canonized by the Church, and the countless others who have also reached heaven—we add nothing to their glory. But we give our-selves reason to hope. We too long to see the face of God and believe that we can one day be counted among those whose robes, as John tells us in the book of Revelation, are washed “white in the blood of the Lamb.” The passage from John’s First Letter offers further assur-ance: we are God’s children who will one day see God. But today’s Gospel pulls us past longing and reassurance into action. Jesus clearly tells us what we must do to be counted among the saints. We must be poor in spirit, hungry for holiness, merciful, single-hearted, and peace-makers! Then we too will see the face of God.

On solid ground again (Testimony of a cancer healing– Lioba Radke, 20 years consecrated in the Catholic community

‘Koinonia John the Baptist’ has lived in Jerusalem

since 2006) We were not sure how to organize my stay in Germany. We desired that a sister from the community would stay with me during my treatment. My parents did not have enough room in their apartment and, besides, my father had suffered from a stoke four years ago and was confined to a wheelchair. In no way did I want to be a burden. So the Lord, in His mercy opened new doors. A sister wrote to me: she was waiting for a US visa and consequently was obliged to stay in Europe indefinitely. She offered to stay with me during the time of my treatment. At the same time I was put in touch with a community of nuns who had their convent only 200 meters from the hospital. They were willing to put an apartment at our disposal for the entire time of the treatment, and all this free of charge. Following the opera-tion for the port implant and the arrival of my sister, we moved into our “new apartment”. I felt encouraged. The doctors aim was complete healing through chemotherapy and radiation therapy, without having to have a colostomy. One of my doctors even talked of a remarkable 95% chance of complete healing. ( I, the Lord, am your healer. Ex. 15:26.) The following Monday I started both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I was surprised how good I felt. But a few days later I had my first crisis. I began to suffer from nausea. The more serious issue was that the cancerous ulceration had grown further and was beginning to swell with the first sessions of radiotherapy. I was threatened with a bowel obstruction. To avoid the worst, the doctor prescribed me with strong laxatives. It seemed that nothing worked. I remember that I was in bed crying. I felt so helpless and abandoned. Continued next week….
