“The hand of the Lord feeds us,” says the psalmist; “he answers all our needs.” Both Elisha’s servant in the first reading and the disciples in the Gospel story who witnessed the feeding of the five thousand saw this happen and knew it to be true. “La mano del Señor nos alimenta,” dice el Salmista, “Él responde a todas nuestras necesidades.” Tanto el sirviente de Eliseo en la primera lectura como los discípulos en la historia del Evangelio que presenciaron la alimentación de los cinco mil, vieron suceder esto y supieron que era verdad. =====================================

Reflexión bíblica: Primera Lectura de hoy y el Evangelio habla de nutrición física. En la segunda lectura, san Pablo nos enteramos, que fue encarcelado para seguir a Jesús Cristo, escribir a los Efesios les instaba a "El amor en una manera digna de la llamada (en el Bautismo." Las tres lecturas de la Biblia nos enseña acerca de la compasión, la paciencia y la confianza en el Señor. El profeta Eliseo, al darse cuenta de que las personas estaban hambrientos, dio instrucciones a su siervo para compartir los panes de cebada que fueron dados a Eliseo como un regalo. Su siervo se opusieron, porque no cree que haya suficiente pan para todos. Al final, cada uno tenía su pleno e incluso tenían las sobras. Evangelio de San Juan es también acerca de la alimentación las multitudes. Hubo una gran reunión (5.000 hombres y mujeres y niños) a escuchar a Jesús. Percatarse de que tenía hambre, él instruyó a sus discípulos a buscar comida para todos para comer. Se cree que esto es una tarea imposible. Andrew vi un muchacho con cinco panes de cebada y dos peces, pero sabía que no sería suficiente. Jesús dijo que la gente tenga descanso y tomó los panes, bendecida por él y distribuido a la población, así como los peces. Al final, después de que todo el mundo estaba lleno, se recogieron doce canastas de sobras panes y los peces. ¿CÓMO sucede esto? Con Jesús puede pasar cualquier cosa! ¿Los panes y los peces milagrosamente multiplicar? ¿Cuál es la situación de las personas, después de escuchar Jesús hablar, compartir la comida con la gente que no lo sabía? Lo único que sabemos con certeza es que Jesús enseñó al pueblo y, a continuación, les daba de comer. Esta es la historia de una precursora de la Última Cena, cuando Jesús tomó el pan bendito, que se rompió y lo transformó en su cuerpo y el vino en su sangre. La historia de los "panes y los peces" se encuentra a unos Eucaristía y la capacidad de todos nosotros para alimentarse con el Cuerpo de Cristo y sostenida por la Palabra de Dios. Jesús está siempre dispuesto para alimentarnos. Lo único que hay que hacer. San Pablo escribe a los Efesios sobre el uno con el otro a través del amor." les pide que vivan vidas humildes y suave y ser pacientes. Pablo concluye diciendo que somos parte de "... un Dios y Padre de todos, que está sobre todos, por todos y en todos." Las tres lecturas ofrecen una hoja de ruta de cómo debemos vivir como auténticos discípulos de Jesucristo. Cuando ponemos nuestra confianza en Dios y es paciente en lo que se refiere a compartir la alegría del Evangelio, nos convertimos en compasivos y cariñosos hijos de Dios. Por lo tanto nos preguntamos: • ¿le pedimos al Señor que nos ayudan a usar los dones y frutos del Espíritu Santo con sabiduría y compasión? • Podemos ver cada día como una oportunidad para ser Eucaristía a otros por vivir la Palabra de Dios y compartir lo que tenemos para que otros puedan vivir con dignidad y no el hambre de algo? 214-2

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Scripture Reflection: Today’s First Reading and the Gospel talk about physical nourishment. In the Second Reading, we hear Saint Paul, who was imprisoned for following Jesus Christ, write to the Ephesians urging them to “love in a manner worthy of the call (in Baptism.)” All three Readings from the Bible teach us about compassion, patience and trust in the Lord. The prophet Elisha, realizing that people were hungry, instructed his servant to share the barley loaves that were given to Elisha as a gift. His servant objected because he did not believe there was enough bread for everyone. In the end, everyone had their full and they even had leftovers. John’s Gospel also is about feeding the multitudes. There was a large gathering (5,000 men plus women and children) listening to Jesus. Realizing they were hungry, he instructed his disciples to find food for all to eat. They believed this to be an impossible task. Andrew saw a boy with five barley loaves and two fish but knew that would not be enough. Jesus said to have the people rest and he took the loaves, blessed and distributed them to the people as well as the fish. In the end, after everyone was full, they collected twelve baskets of leftover loaves and fish. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? With Jesus anything can happen! Did the loaves and fish miraculously multiply? Did people, after hearing Jesus speak, share there food with people they did not know? The only thing we know for sure is that Jesus taught the people and then fed them. This story is a precursor to the Last Supper when Jesus took the bread blessed, broke and transformed it into his body and the wine into his blood. The story of the “loaves and fishes” is about Eucharist and the ability for all of us to be nourished by the Body of Christ and sustained by the Word of God. Jesus is always willing to feed us. We need only to ask. Saint Paul writes to the Ephesians about “bearing with one another through love.” He asks them to live humble and gentle lives and to be patient. Paul concludes by saying that we are part of “...one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” All three readings offer a road map of how we are to live as authentic disciples of Jesus Christ. When we place our trust in God and are patient in sharing the joy of the Gospel, we become compassionate and loving children of God. So we ask ourselves: • Do we ask the Lord to help us use the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit wisely and compassionately? • Do we view everyday as an opportunity to be Eucharist to others by living the Word of God and sharing what we have so that others may live in dignity and not hunger for anything?
The family which experiences the joy of faith communicates it naturally. That family is the salt of the earth and the light of the world; it is the leaven of society. Pope Francis, October 27, 2013 La familia que experimenta la alegría de la fe se comunica de forma natural. Esa familia es la sal de la tierra y la luz del mundo; es la levadura de la sociedad. Papa Francisco, 27 de octubre 2013
