June 28, 2015 • Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Each week at Mass we gather to celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. First we listen to the great stories of our faith proclaimed in the scripture readings. Often, as is the case today, we hear stories of miracles. Then, each week, we witness a miracle repeated every time we come together for Mass. In faith, we experi-ence the transformation of simple elements of bread and wine into the very body and blood of Christ. This miracle is no less powerful than the miracle we hear in today’s Gospel. Too often we allow the power of the liturgy to wash over us. In short, we can miss the potential the miracle of the Eucharist holds for each and every one of us.
EXPECTING MIRACLES AT MASSWe can cultivate an “expecting miracles” attitude each
time we celebrate Mass. We need look no further than the two people in today’s Gospel for our inspiration. Jairus, the synagogue official, expects that Jesus, simply by laying hands on Jairus’ daughter, will cure her. The woman with the hem-orrhages expects healing: “If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured” (Mark 5:28). When we come to Mass, we need to ask God to give us the strength of faith that these two people exhibited. If we are in despair over a broken relationship, let us not be afraid to seek the miracle of healing and comfort from the Lord. If a loved one is sick, let us have the cour-age to ask the Lord for healing. Let us not be afraid to place our lives—our woes, disappointments, and failures—on the sacred altar along with the gifts of bread and wine. Then, like Jairus and the woman with the hemorrhages, let us expect that the miracle of the transformation of bread and wine will transform our lives and bring us new life and renewed hope.
Today’s Readings: Wis 1:13–15; 2:23–24; Ps 30:2, 4–6, 11–13; 2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13–15; Mk 5:21–43 [21–24, 35b–43]
28 de junio de 2015 Decimotercer Domingo del
Tiempo OrdinarioCada semana en la misa nos reunimos para
celebrar la vida, muerte y resurrección de Cristo. Primero escuchamos los grandes relatos de nuestra fe proclamados en las lecturas de la Sagrada Escritura. Muchas veces, como es el caso hoy, oímos relatos sobre milagros. Cada semana, somos testigos de un milagro que se repite cada vez que nos reunimos para
la misa. En la fe, vivimos la transformación de elementos simples como pan y vino en el mismísimo Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo. Este milagro no es menos poderoso que el milagro que escuchamos en el Evangelio de hoy. Solemos permitir que el poder de la liturgia nos resbale. En resumen, podemos perdernos el potencial que el milagro de la Eucaristía tiene guardado para cada uno de nosotros.
ESPERANDO MILAGROS EN LA MISAPodemos cultivar “la actitud de esperar milagros” cada vez
que celebramos la misa. No necesitamos buscar más allá de las dos personas en el Evangelio de hoy para inspirarnos. Jairo, uno de los jefes de la sinagoga, esperaba que Jesús, tan sólo al imponer sus manos sobre su hija, la curaría. La mujer con hemorragia esperaba ser curada: “pensando que, con sólo tocarle el vestido, se curaría” (Marcos 5:28). Cuando vamos a misa, necesitamos pedirle a Dios que nos dé la fuerza de la fe que estas dos personas demostraron tener. Si perdimos las esperanzas debido a una relación rota, no tengamos miedo de buscar el milagro de curación y consuelo del Señor. Si un ser querido está enfermo, tengamos la valentía de pedirle al Señor curación. No tengamos miedo de poner nuestra vida –nuestras penas, desilusiones y fracasos– en el altar sagrado junto con las ofrendas de pan y vino. Luego, como Jairo y la mujer con hemorragia, esperemos que el milagro de la transformación de pan y vino transforme nuestra vida y nos dé vida nueva y renovada esperanza.Lecturas de hoy: Sab 1:13–15; 2:23–24; Sal 30:2, 4–6, 11–13; 2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13–15; Mc 5:21–43 [21–24, 35b–43]
