GOOD NEWS REFLECTION: FEASTING ON THE SOURCE OF ETERNAL LIFE

This Sunday's Gospel passage is Christ's explanation of the Eucharist. He says: "Whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life." Why does he call the Eucharist "the bread of life"? How does it give us life? He answers: "Whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." In other words, he gave himself to us -- he gave his life for us -- on the cross. Our sins put us on the path of death, but he who was sinless, and divine substituted himself for us, taking our deaths upon himself so that we could have the eternal life of God. The resurrection of his body defeated this death. Therefore, his body, crucified and risen, is the source of our life. This is what we celebrate in Mass. We are not re-enacting his death during the sacrifice of the altar, as some mistakenly assume; we are uniting ourselves to his life. The

"sacrifice of the altar" is our participation in the entirety of Christ -- his life, his ministry, his crucifixion for our sins, his resurrection, and his ascension to heaven. We unite with him by offering our lives to him so that he ministers to the world through us, sacrificing our will where it interferes with his, which results in being raised up to new life as we follow Christ to heaven. Every Catholic Mass accomplishes this by providing us with our Savior's body and blood, here and now, in the form of edible food: the bread of life. As Pope John Paul the Great pointed out in his encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia, "The Second Vatican Council rightly proclaimed that the Eucharistic banquet of Mass is 'the source and summit of the Christian life'." This holy communion comes to us from Christ's Last Supper, through generation after generation of the apostolic priesthood, which began with the very first Apostles. Everyone who attends the liturgy of this communion should truly celebrate the Eucharistic presence of Jesus, even those who still have work to do to remove the obstacles that keep them from receiving the Eucharist bodily. Christ is as fully present and as truly real here as he was when he sat among the Apostles and said, "This is my Body, this is my Blood." Thus anyone who adores and honors Jesus in the Eucharist, believing that he is their Savior, is feasting on the source of their eternal life. How do you know that the Eucharist is truly the high point and center of your life? What's missing from your current experience of meeting Jesus in person in the miracle that takes place on the altar? How has the Eucharist been life-giving for you? Share how Jesus has healed you or revealed himself to you or nurtured you through his presence in the consecrated bread, either in Holy Communion or during Adoration of the Blessed

Sacrament. How do you know it was really him? How did it change you? © 2021 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com. Printed by permission. To view or subscribe to daily Good News Reflections, visit www.gnm.org.

GOOD NEWS REFLECTION: FESTEJANDO EN LA FUENTE DE LA VIDA ETERNA

El pasaje del Evangelio de este domingo es la

explicación que da Cristo sobre la Eucaristía. Él dice: "El que cree tiene vida eterna. Yo soy el pan de vida". ¿Por qué llama a la Eucaristía "el pan de vida"? ¿Cómo nos da vida? Él responde: "El que come de este pan, vivirá para siempre; y el pan que yo daré es mi carne para la vida del mundo." En otras palabras, se entregó a

nosotros - dio su vida por nosotros - en la cruz. Nuestros pecados nos ponen en el camino de la muerte, pero Él, que no tenía pecado y era de naturaleza divina, tomó nuestro lugar, cargando nuestra muerte sobre sí mismo para que pudiéramos tener la vida eterna de Dios. La resurrección de su cuerpo derrotó esta muerte. Por lo tanto, su cuerpo crucificado y resucitado, es la fuente de nuestra vida. Esto es lo que celebramos en la Misa. No estamos recreando su muerte durante el sacrificio del altar, como algunos erróneamente suponen; estamos uniéndonos nosotros a su vida. El "sacrificio del altar" es nuestra participación en la totalidad de Cristo - su vida, su ministerio, su crucifixión por nuestros pecados, su resurrección y su ascensión al cielo. Nos unimos con Él al ofrecerle nuestras vidas, para que pueda pastorear al mundo a través de nosotros, sacrificando nuestra voluntad donde interfiere con la suya, la cual es resucitada en una nueva vida, mientras seguimos a Cristo hacia el cielo. Cada Misa Católica logra esto proporcionándonos el cuerpo y la sangre de nuestro Salvador, aquí y ahora, en la forma de alimento comestible: el pan de vida. Como señaló el Papa Juan Pablo el Grande en su encíclica La Iglesia Vive de la Eucaristía, "El Concilio Vaticano II proclamó

acertadamente que el banquete Eucarístico de la Misa es 'fuente y culmen de la vida cristiana'." Esta santa comunión nos viene de la Última Cena de Cristo, a través de generaciones y generaciones de sacerdocio apostólico, que comenzó con los primeros Apóstoles. Todos los que asisten a la liturgia de esta comunión deberían celebrar verdaderamente, la presencia Eucarística de Jesús, incluso los que todavía tienen trabajo por hacer para eliminar los obstáculos que les impiden recibir la Eucaristía en el cuerpo. Cristo está presente plenamente y es verdaderamente real ahora como cuando se sentó entre los Apóstoles y dijo: "Esto es mi Cuerpo, esta es mi Sangre". Por lo tanto,

cualquier persona que adore y rinda homenaje a Jesús en la Eucaristía, creyendo que Él es su Salvador, está festejando en la fuente de su vida eterna. ¿Cómo sabes que la Eucaristía es verdaderamente el culmen y el centro de tu vida? ¿Qué falta en tu experiencia actual de conocer a Jesús en persona, en el milagro que tiene lugar en el altar? ¿Cómo te ha dado vida a ti la

Eucaristía? Comparte cómo te ha sanado Jesús o cómo se ha revelado a ti o te ha alimentado a través de su presencia en el pan consagrado, ya sea en la Sagrada Comunión o durante la Adoración del Santísimo Sacramento. ¿Cómo sabes que era realmente Él? ¿Cómo te cambió? © 2021 Terry Modica, Catholic Digital Resources, www.catholicdr.com.

Following is another excerpt from Pope Francis encyclical on the environment, Laudate Si. This series began with our bulletin of Sunday, July 11th_,

which is available on our website with all our bulletins.

These statements of the Popes echo the reflections of numerous scientists, philosophers, theologians and civic groups, all of which have enriched the Church’s thinking on these questions. Outside the Catholic Church, other Churches and Christian communities – and other religions as well – have expressed deep concern and offered valuable reflections on issues which all of us find disturbing. To give just one striking example, I would mention the statements made by the beloved

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, with whom we share the hope of full ecclesial communion. Patriarch

Bartholomew has spoken in particular of the need for each of us to repent of the ways we have harmed the planet, for “inasmuch as we all generate small ecological damage”, we are called to acknowledge “our

contribution, smaller or greater, to the disfigurement and destruction of creation”. He has repeatedly stated this firmly and persuasively, challenging us to acknowledge our sins against creation: “For human beings… to destroy the biological diversity of God’s creation; for human beings to degrade the integrity of the earth by causing changes in its climate, by stripping the earth of its natural forests or destroying its wetlands; for human beings to contaminate the earth’s waters, its land, its air, and its life – these are sins”. For “to commit a crime against the natural world is a sin against ourselves and a sin against God”. At the same time, Bartholomew has drawn attention to the ethical and spiritual roots of environmental problems, which require that we look for solutions not only in technology but in a change of humanity; otherwise, we would be dealing merely with symptoms. He asks us to replace consumption with sacrifice, greed with generosity, wastefulness with a spirit of sharing, an asceticism which “entails learning to give, and not simply to give up. It is a way of loving, of moving gradually away from what I want to what God’s world needs. It is liberation from fear, greed and compulsion”. As Christians, we are also called “to accept the world as a sacrament of communion, as a way of sharing with God and our neighbors on a global scale. It is our humble conviction that the divine and the human meet in the slightest detail in the seamless garment of God’s creation, in the last speck of dust of our planet”.

Lo siguiente es un fragmento de la encíclica del Papa Francisco sobre el medioambiente, Laudate Si. Esta serie comenzó a ser publicada en nuestro boletín del 11 de Julio, el cual está disponible en nuestra página web con todos nuestros boletines.

Estos aportes de los Papas recogen la reflexión de innumerables científicos, filósofos, teólogos y organizaciones sociales que enriquecieron el

pensamiento de la Iglesia sobre estas cuestiones. Pero no podemos ignorar que, también fuera de la Iglesia Católica, otras Iglesias y Comunidades cristianas –como también otras religiones– han desarrollado una amplia preocupación y una valiosa reflexión sobre estos temas que nos preocupan a todos. Para poner sólo un ejemplo destacable, quiero recoger brevemente parte del aporte del querido Patriarca Ecuménico Bartolomé, con el que compartimos la esperanza de la comunión eclesial plena. El Patriarca Bartolomé se ha referido particularmente a la necesidad de que cada uno se arrepienta de sus propias maneras de dañar el planeta, porque, «en la medida en que todos generamos pequeños daños ecológicos», estamos llamados a reconocer «nuestra contribución –pequeña o grande– a la desfiguración y destrucción de la creación». Sobre este punto él se ha expresado repetidamente de una manera firme y estimulante, invitándonos a reconocer los pecados contra la creación: «Que los seres humanos destruyan la diversidad biológica en la creación divina; que los seres humanos degraden la integridad de la tierra y contribuyan al cambio climático, desnudando la tierra de sus bosques naturales o destruyendo sus zonas húmedas; que los seres humanos contaminen las aguas, el suelo, el aire. Todos estos son pecados». Porque «un crimen contra la naturaleza es un crimen contra nosotros mismos y un pecado contra Dios». Al mismo tiempo, Bartolomé llamó la atención sobre las raíces éticas y espirituales de los problemas

ambientales, que nos invitan a encontrar soluciones no sólo en la técnica sino en un cambio del ser humano, porque de otro modo afrontaríamos sólo los síntomas. Nos propuso pasar del consumo al sacrificio, de la avidez a la generosidad, del desperdicio a la capacidad de compartir, en una ascesis que «significa aprender a dar, y no simplemente renunciar. Es un modo de amar, de pasar poco a poco de lo que yo quiero a lo que necesita el mundo de Dios. Es liberación del miedo, de la avidez, de la dependencia». Los cristianos, además, estamos llamados a «aceptar el mundo como

sacramento de comunión, como modo de compartir con Dios y con el prójimo en una escala global. Es nuestra humilde convicción que lo divino y lo humano se encuentran en el más pequeño detalle contenido en los vestidos sin costuras de la creación de Dios, hasta en el último grano de polvo de nuestro planeta».
