August 22, 2021 Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time The Community that Gathers John’s Bread of Life Discourse is a profound meditation on the nature and person of Jesus. Ultimately, the Discourse leads us to the Eucharist, to the absolute necessity of gathering regularly as a people to celebrate what Jesus has done for us, to receive him under the appearances of bread and wine, and to be reminded of who we are and what we are called to do in Jesus’ name. These themes are also prefigured and expanded upon in the excerpts we hear from Joshua and Ephesians. What formed Israel as one people was its experience in the desert, traveling together with a common pur- pose and destination, insulated from pagan idols and values. Once the Israelites left the desert and dispersed throughout the Promised Land, however, they encountered pagan idols and value systems opposed to Israel’s cove- nantal relationship with God. They were tempted to abandon the commandments God had given them, and their sacred vows of fidelity to the covenant. Now the divided tribes were exposed to the worship of the idols of the dif- ferent peoples they encountered, to human sacrifice and to practices that would destroy their unity as the Chosen People of God. Instead of being a covenantal sign to the nations of God’s presence, instead of bringing these na- tions to the worship of the one true God, the Israelites faced the real possibility that the nations would seduce them to the practice of idolatry, immorality, and the oppression of the poor and powerless. To avoid this possibility, Joshua, who like Moses prefigures Christ, assembled the Israelites to remind them of all that God had done for them in the desert and to recall for them the promises they had made to God at Mt. Sinai. Decide whom you will serve, challenges Joshua. Decide whom you will be – the chosen and free people of the one true God, or the slaves of the gods of the pagans. The people’s response – We will serve the Lord – was made possible only because they gathered in the name of the Lord. Regularly assembling kept the Chosen People united and faithful to their cove- nantal vows and committed to their mission to be God’s light to the nations. Coming together frequently as a community not only keeps us one in Christ and faithful to his mission, but also keeps us in right relationship with God and each other. Ephesians makes this clear. Be subordinate to one an- other out of reverence for Christ. The culture, customs and gender roles of Paul’s time were very different from ours, and the mutual subordination in Christ took a particular form, especially in the family. Nevertheless, Paul did not speak of the domination of one sex over the other but described the mutual duties each owed the other out of love. Today, being subordinate to one another takes a different form than in Paul’s time, but mutual respect, love, sacrifice, and cooperation remain the duties we owe to each other out of reverence for Christ. Two thousand years later, our faithful compliance with these obligations is no easier and is still threatened by a culture that worships itself, money, power, sex, and control. For that reason, we must continue to gather regularly as the Christian com- munity to remember and reinforce our commitments to each other out of reverence for Christ. Every Eucharistic gathering of God’s people also presents challenges. John discusses these challenges in simple but stark terms. Jesus’ statements, that his flesh is true food and his blood true drink and that anyone who eats his flesh and drinks his blood will have everlasting life, forced his disciples – and compel us – to make a choice. Will we follow Jesus? Do we trust that the God who gave us his only Son on the cross for our salvation can and will give us himself – his Body and Blood – to make us one people in him, to strengthen us for the mission to transform the world in his name? Do we trust that he can and will bring us safely through the difficulties of life and guide us, at last, to eternal life and joy? Or will we follow those disciples who failed to trust Jesus, complain- ing that this saying is too hard; who can accept it? Like the Israelites and the Ephesians, the danger we constantly face is not to trust in God’s love and mercy for us and in the covenant he makes with us through Jesus Christ, whose Body and Blood are the proof of his fidelity. The Eucharistic assembly also gives us the opportunity to re- commit ourselves to Jesus. As with Peter, Jesus asks us do you also want to leave? Let our response be that of Peter – Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Gathering on the Lord’s Day to celebrate the Eucharist and receive the Body and Blood of Jesus is not just an empty ritual that we do out of obligation. It is an act of faith without which we cannot live. It keeps us united as a community on our journey of faith. It keeps us faithful to God’s covenant with us through baptism and to the mission on which he sends us – to proclaim the good news of his love to the all the world. The faithful celebration of the Eucharist maintains us in right relationship with God and each other – out of reverence for Christ. It strengthens us, in times of doubt, weakness, and temptation, to be faithful to our Christian values -- not the world’s -- and to trust that God will get us through the tough times and bring us safely home to him. The Eucharist always presents us with a choice to make – freely and without coercion – to succumb to the way of the world and return to our former lives of sin, or to follow Jesus, the holy One of God, and in so choosing to taste and see the goodness of the Lord. Blessings, Fr. Chris 2

El 22 de Agosto de 2021 El Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario La comunidad que se reúne El Discurso del Pan de Vida de Juan es una meditación profunda sobre la naturaleza y la persona de Jesús. En última instancia, el Discurso nos lleva a la Eucaristía, a la necesidad absoluta de reunirse regularmente como pueblo para celebrar lo que Jesús ha hecho por nosotros, para recibirlo bajo las apariencias de pan y vino, y para recordar quiénes somos y lo que estamos llamados a hacer en el nombre de Jesús. Estos temas también se prefiguran y amplían en los extractos que escuchamos de Josué y Efesios. Lo que formó a Israel como un solo pueblo fue su experiencia en el desierto, viajando juntos con un propósito y destino común, aislados de los ídolos y valores paganos. Una vez que los israelitas dejaron el desierto y se dispersaron por toda la Tierra Prometida, sin embargo, se encontraron con ídolos paganos y sistemas de valores opuestos a la alianza que Dios hizo con Israel. Fueron tentados a abandonar los mandamientos que Dios les había dado, y sus sagrados votos de fidelidad a la alianza. Ahora las tribus divididas estaban expuestas a la adoración de los ídolos de los diferentes pueblos que encontraron, al sacrificio humano y a prácticas que destruirían su unidad como el pueblo elegido de Dios. En lugar de ser una señal de la alianza para las naciones de la presencia de Dios, en lugar de llevar a estas naciones a la adoración del único Dios verdadero, los israelitas enfrentaron la posibilidad real de que las naciones los seducirían a la práctica de la idolatría, la inmoralidad y la opresión de los pobres e impotentes. Para evitar esta posibilidad, Josué, que como Moisés prefigura a Cristo, reunió a los israelitas para recordarles todo lo que Dios había hecho por ellos en el desierto y recordarles las promesas que le habían hecho a Dios en el Monte Sinaí. Digan aquí y ahora a quién quieren servir, los desafía Josué. Decide quién será – el pueblo elegido y libre del único Dios verdadero, o el esclavo de los dioses de los paganos. La respuesta del pueblo – nosotros serviremos al Señor – fue posible solo porque se reunió en el nombre del Señor. La reunión regular mantuvo al pueblo elegido unido y fiel a sus votos de la alianza y comprometido con su misión de ser la luz de Dios para las naciones. Unirnos frecuentemente como una comunidad no sólo nos mantiene uno en Cristo y fieles a su misión, sino que también nos mantiene en una relación correcta con Dios y con los demás. Efesios lo aclara. Respétense unos a otros por reverencia a Cristo. La cultura, las costumbres y los roles de género de la época de san Pablo eran muy diferentes a los nuestros, y la subordinación mutua en Cristo tomó una forma particular, especialmente en la familia. Sin embargo, Pablo no habló de la dominación de un sexo sobre el otro, sino que describió los deberes mutuos que cada uno debía al otro por amor. Hoy en día, para respétense unos a otros toma una forma diferente de la época de san Pablo, pero el respeto mutuo, el amor, el sacrificio y la cooperación siguen siendo los deberes que nos debemos unos a otros por reverencia a Cristo. Dos mil años después, nuestro fiel cumplimiento de estas obligaciones no es más fácil y sigue amenazado por una cultura que se adora a sí misma, al dinero, al poder, al sexo y al control. Por esa razón, debemos continuar reuniéndonos regularmente como la comunidad cristiana para recordar y reforzar nuestros compromisos mutuos por reverencia a Cristo. Cada reunión eucarística del pueblo de Dios también presenta desafíos. Juan analiza estos desafíos en términos simples pero severos. Las declaraciones de Jesús, de que su carne es verdadera comida y su sangre es verdadera bebida y que cualquiera que coma su carne y beba su sangre tendrá la vida eterna, obligaron a sus discípulos – y nos obligan – a tomar una decisión. ¿Seguiremos a Jesús? ¿Confiamos en que el Dios, que nos dio a su único Hijo en la cruz para nuestra salvación, nos dará a sí mismo – su Cuerpo y Sangre – para hacernos un solo pueblo en él, para fortalecernos para la misión de transformar el mundo en su nombre? ¿Confiamos en que él nos traerá con seguridad a través de las dificultades de la vida y nos guiará, por fin, a la vida y al gozo eternos? ¿O seguiremos a aquellos discípulos que no confiaron en Jesús, quejándose de que este modo de hablar es intolerable, ¿quién puede admitir eso? Al igual que los israelitas y los efesios, el peligro que enfrentamos constantemente es no confiar en el amor y la misericordia de Dios por nosotros y en la alianza que hace con nosotros por medio de Jesucristo, cuyo Cuerpo y Sangre son la prueba de su fidelidad. La asamblea eucarística también nos da la oportunidad de volver a comprometernos con Jesús. Al igual que con san Pedro, Jesús nos pregunta ¿también ustedes quieren dejarme? Sea nuestra respuesta también la de san Pedro – Señor, ¿a quién iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna. Reunirse en el Día del Señor para celebrar la Eucaristía y recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús no es sólo un ritual vacío que hacemos por obligación. Es un acto de fe sin el cual no podemos vivir. Nos mantiene unidos como comunidad en nuestro viaje de fe. Nos mantiene fieles a la alianza de Dios con nosotros a través del bautismo y a la misión en la que él nos envía – para proclamar las buenas nuevas de su amor a todo el mundo. La celebración fiel de la Eucaristía nos mantiene en la relación correcta con Dios y con los demás – por reverencia a Cristo. Nos fortalece, en tiempos de duda, debilidad y tentación, de ser fieles a nuestros valores cristianos -- no la os del mundo -- y a confiar en que Dios nos ayudará a superar los momentos difíciles y nos traerá a salvo a casa con él. La Eucaristía siempre nos presenta una elección que tomar – libremente y sin coacción: sucumbir al camino del mundo y volver a nuestras vidas anteriores de pecado, o seguir a Jesús, el Santo de Dios, y al elegir así gustar y ver qué bueno es el Señor. Bendiciones, P. Chris 9
