Pastor’s Chronicle
Today we continue reading from chapter 6 of St. John’s gospel “The Bread of Life Discourse,” last week we heard the familiar story of Jesus feeding 5,000 people with 5 barley loaves and two dried fishes. In that mira-cle Jesus was more interested in nourishing a hungry heart than filling an empty stomach. The crowd still gathered on the mountain wanted more miracles to feed their empty stomach but Jesus refuses to repeat the miracle. The crowd focused on the perishable food in their hands, Jesus tells them that they failed to under-stand the meaning of bread given to them. Jesus’ intention is that they focus on him as the Bread of Life he tells them “I myself am the bread of life. No one who comes to me shall ever be hungry.” If they could bring themselves to consume him, his message, his way of looking at things, his way of living, they would no long-er be hungry, empty in the spiritual sense. Perhaps today we should get in touch with our hunger, material and spiritual. Why is it we have the uncontrollable urge to consume, why do we have such large appetites for things, money, for security, for suc-cess? And why is it that once we have these things we still feels empty, still hungry? Could it be that deep down we know that life is much more that chasing after the things our society place so much value upon and at the end of our lives won’t mean a hill of beans? Perhaps the real hunger that continues to gnaw inside us can only be filled by Christ the “Living Bead.” Today we are invited to feed, not on the old and familiar, but on Jesus, the Bread of Life, to be con-sumers of him in the Bread and Wine of the Eucharist and allow him to be the source of our spiritual nourish-ment and eternal life.
Fr. Bill
Crónica del pastor Hoy continuamos leyendo del sexto capítulo del Evangelio de Juan “El Discurso del Pan de Vida”. La semana pasada escuchamos el conocido cuento de Jesús alimentando a 5,000 personas con 5 piezas de pan de cebada y dos peces secos. En ese milagro Jesús estaba más interesado en alimentar un corazón hambriento que en lle-nar un estómago vacío. La muchedumbre que todavía estaba congregada en la montaña deseaba más milagros para llenar sus estómagos vacíos pero Jesús se negó a repetir el milagro. La muchedumbre se enfocó sobre el alimento perecedero en sus manos. Jesús les dijo que ellos fallaron en comprender el significado del pan que se les había dado. La intención de Jesús fue que ellos se enfocaran en el como el Pan de Vida. Él les dice, “Yo mismo soy el Pan de Vida. El que viene a mí, nunca tendrá hambre.” Si ellos pudieran atreverse a consumirlo, su mensaje, su manera de ver las cosas, su modo de vivir, ellos ya no tendrán hambre ni estarían vacíos en el sentido espiritual. Quizás hoy deberíamos ponernos en contacto con nuestra hambre, material y espiritual. ¿Por qué tene-mos ese impulso incontrolable para consumir? ¿Por qué tenemos tan grandes apetitos para las cosas, para el dinero, para la seguridad y para el éxito? ¿Y por qué una vez que le hemos alcanzado estas cosas, nosotros todavía nos sentimos vacíos, todavía hambrientos? ¿Podría ser que en nuestra profundidad sabemos que la vida es mucho más que persiguiendo las cosas en las cuales nuestra sociedad impone tanto valor y al fin de nuestras vidas no vale ni un montón de frijoles? Quizás la verdadera hambre que continúa gruñendo dentro de nosotros solo se puede llenar con Cristo “El Pan de Vida.” Hoy estamos invitados a alimentarnos, no en lo viejo y conocido, sino en Jesús, El Pan de Vida, para
ser consumidores de el en el Pan y Vino de la Eucaristía y permitirle que Él sea la fuente de nuestra alimentación espiritual y de nuestra vida eterna. Padre Bill
