GOOD NEWS REFLECTION: HOW TO SEE JESUS

The two disciples in this Sunday's Gospel reading did not recognize Jesus until after they heard him explain the scriptures and then broke bread with him. It was a two-part process. First, while listening to him teach about the scriptures, only their hearts recognized him. ("Were not our hearts burning within us?") Their eyes didn't see his true identity until Jesus shared a meal with them, raised the bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them to eat. When we celebrate Mass today, we're on a similar journey with Jesus. First, we have the Liturgy of the Word, during which we hear the scriptures and a homily that explains them. This is a time of opening our hearts to him. A well-trained reader will speak the words of scripture with meaning and emphasis so that our hearts can recognize God in the words. A well-trained priest or deacon will set our hearts on fire as if Jesus himself were teaching us the meaning of the scriptures. But even when the reader or homilist does a poor job, we can open our hearts to hear Jesus speaking to us directly. Then we move into the Liturgy of the Eucharist. When the presiding priest consecrates the bread and wine, it is Jesus himself who is actually doing it, using the priest's hands and vocal chords. Jesus is doing for us what he did for those two disciples at Emmaus. If we have opened our hearts to Jesus during the first part of Mass, and if we are still paying attention, we see much more than a piece of bread and a chalice of wine. We see Jesus. We recognize him with our hearts and our heads. We know beyond all doubt that the resurrected Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. In what area(s) of your life does Jesus seem to be absent? How can the Mass help you recognize Jesus and feel his closeness? What else can you do to discover the presence of Jesus when you are not able to sense his nearness? When did you discover that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist? What helped you with that discovery? How do you know that the bread and wine change into the substance of Jesus while retaining their original form (which is called "transubstantiation")? How easy is it for you to recognize Jesus in the Eucharist? Why? © 2020 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com. Printed by permission. To view or subscribe to daily

REFLEXIÓN DE LAS BUENAS NUEVAS: CÓMO VER A JESÚS

Los dos discípulos de la lectura del Evangelio de este domingo, no reconocieron a Jesús hasta que le oyeron explicar las Escrituras y, luego, al partir el pan con él. Fue un proceso de dos partes. Primero, mientras lo escuchaban enseñar las Escrituras, sólo sus corazones lo reconocían. ("¿No estaban ardiendo dentro de nosotros nuestros corazones?") Sus ojos no vieron su verdadera identidad hasta que Jesús compartió una comida con ellos, levantó el pan, lo bendijo, lo partió y se los dio a comer. Cuando celebramos Misa hoy, estamos en un viaje similar con Jesús. Primero, tenemos la Liturgia de la Palabra, durante la cual escuchamos las Escrituras y una homilía que las explica. Este es un tiempo de abrir nuestros corazones a él. Un lector bien entrenado dirá las palabras de las Escrituras con sentido y énfasis para que nuestros corazones puedan reconocer a Dios en las palabras. Un sacerdote o un diácono bien entrenados pondrán nuestros corazones en fuego como si Jesús mismo nos estuviera enseñando el significado de las escrituras. Pero, incluso cuando el lector o quien da la homilía, hacen un trabajo pobre, podemos abrir nuestros corazones para escuchar a Jesús hablando directamente a nosotros. Luego nos adentramos en la Liturgia de la Eucaristía. Cuando el sacerdote que preside consagra el pan y el vino, es el mismo Jesús quien lo está haciendo, usando las manos del sacerdote y sus cuerdas vocales. Jesús está haciendo por nosotros lo que hizo por esos dos discípulos en Emaús. Si hemos abierto nuestros corazones a Jesús durante la primera parte de la misa y, si seguimos prestando atención, vemos mucho más que un pedazo de pan y un cáliz de vino. Nosotros vemos a Jesús. Lo reconocemos con nuestros corazones y nuestras cabezas. Sabemos sin lugar a dudas que el Jesús resucitado está realmente presente en la Eucaristía. ¿En qué área (s) de tu vida parece que Jesús está ausente? ¿Cómo puede ayudarte la Misa a reconocer a Jesús y sentir su cercanía? ¿Qué más puedes hacer para descubrir la presencia de Jesús cuando no puedes sentir su proximidad? ¿Cuándo descubriste que Jesús está realmente presente en la Eucaristía? ¿Qué te ayudó con ese descubrimiento? ¿Cómo sabes que el pan y el vino se transforman en la sustancia de Jesús mientras conservan su forma original (llamado "transubstanciación")? ¿Qué tan fácil es para ti reconocer a Jesús en la Eucaristía? ¿Por qué? © 2020 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com.

POPE FRANCIS Dear brothers and sisters, in the time of trial that we are presently undergoing, we…with our fears and our doubts, have experienced our frailty. We need the Lord, who sees beyond that frailty an irrepressible beauty. With him we rediscover how precious we are even in our vulnerability. We discover that we are like beautiful crystals, fragile and at the same time precious. And if, like crystal, we are transparent before him, his light – the light of mercy – will shine in us and through us in the world. As the Letter of Peter said, this is a reason for being “filled with joy, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials” (1 Pt 1:6). while we are looking forward to a slow and arduous recovery from the pandemic, there is a danger that we will forget those who are left behind. The risk is that we may then be struck by an even worse virus, that of selfish indifference. A virus spread by the thought that life is better if it is better for me, and that everything will be fine if it is fine for me. It begins there and ends up selecting one person over another, discarding the poor, and sacrificing those left behind on the altar of progress. The present pandemic, however, reminds us that there are no differences or borders between those who suffer. We are all frail, all equal, all precious. May we be profoundly shaken by what is happening all around us: the time has come to eliminate inequalities, to heal the injustice that is undermining the health of the entire human family! Let us learn from the early Christian community described in the Acts of the Apostles. It received mercy and lived with mercy: “All who believed were together and had all things in common; and they sold their possessions and goods and distributed them to all, as any had need” (Acts 2:44-45). This is not some ideology: it is Christianity. Faith and action are complementary. Consider the Emmaus story. A loss of faith leads to despair; the disciples move away from the center. These two disciples leave Jerusalem to go home. Along the way they encounter the risen Jesus. It takes time, but they recognize him in the breaking of the bread and in his Bible teaching. That is what a good church is all about—breaking open the Word and the experience of communion. Emboldened by the risen Lord, the disciples are fearless. They leave their village and travel by night back to Jerusalem and the upper room. They find the other disciples gathered behind locked doors, afraid. We have seen the Lord! He lives! They share their own testimony of faith. We need to stay connected to the Word and to breaking of the bread in our church communion. These practices will lead to a fresh recognition of Jesus, who is present in both.

PAPA FRANCISCO Queridos hermanos y hermanas: En la prueba que estamos atravesando, también nosotros, como Tomás, con nuestros temores y nuestras dudas, nos reconocemos frágiles. Necesitamos al Señor, que ve en nosotros, más allá de nuestra fragilidad, una belleza perdurable. Con Él descubrimos que somos valiosos en nuestra debilidad, nos damos cuenta de que somos como cristales hermosísimos, frágiles y preciosos al mismo tiempo. Y si, como el cristal, somos transparentes ante Él, su luz, la luz de la misericordia brilla en nosotros y, por medio nuestro, en el mundo. Ese es el motivo para alegrarse, como nos dijo la Carta de Pedro, «alegraos de ello, aunque ahora sea preciso padecer un poco en pruebas diversas» (1 P 1,6). mientras pensamos en una lenta y ardua recuperación de la pandemia, se insinúa justamente este peligro: olvidar al que se quedó atrás. El riesgo es que nos golpee un virus todavía peor, el del egoísmo indiferente, que se transmite al pensar que la vida mejora si me va mejor a mí, que todo irá bien si me va bien a mí. Se parte de esa idea y se sigue hasta llegar a seleccionar a las personas, descartar a los pobres e inmolar en el altar del progreso al que se queda atrás. Pero esta pandemia nos recuerda que no hay diferencias ni fronteras entre los que sufren: todos somos frágiles, iguales y valiosos. Que lo que está pasando nos sacuda por dentro. Es tiempo de eliminar las desigualdades, de reparar la injusticia que mina de raíz la salud de toda la humanidad. Aprendamos de la primera comunidad cristiana, que se describe en el libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Había recibido misericordia y vivía con misericordia: «Los creyentes vivían todos unidos y tenían todo en común; vendían posesiones y bienes y los repartían entre todos, según la necesidad de cada uno» (Hch 2,44-45). No es ideología, es cristianismo. La fe y la acción son complementarias. Considera el pasaje de Emaús. Una pérdida de la fe lleva a la desesperación; los discípulos se alejan del centro. Estos dos discípulos salen de Jerusalén para irse a casa. A lo largo del camino se encuentran con Jesús resucitado. Se necesita tiempo, pero ellos lo reconocen, en la fracción del pan y en su enseñanza de la Biblia. Eso es todo lo que significa una buena iglesia: partir la Palabra y la experiencia de comunión. Alentados por el Señor resucitado, los discípulos no tienen miedo a nada. Dejan su pueblo y viajan por la noche de regreso a Jerusalén y a la sala superior. Ellos encuentran los otros discípulos reunidos a puerta cerrada, con miedo. ¡Hemos visto al Señor! ¡Él vive! Comparten su propio testimonio de fe. Tenemos que permanecer conectados a la Palabra y al partir el pan en nuestra comunión de la iglesia. Estas prácticas darán lugar a nuevo reconocimiento de Jesús —el cual está presente en ellas.
