Tantas veces decimos a otras personas que los amamos, pero… Ese pero pone un obstáculo en el amor que tenemos para con la otra persona. Ponemos condiciones. No mostramos nuestro amor 100% al otro. Seguramente antes de la tortura y muerte de Jesús, Pedro pensó que amaba a Jesús, pero cuando llegó la noche de la entrega de Jesús por Judas, Pedro, lleno de miedo y debilidad, negó a Jesús no una o dos veces, sino tres veces y con insistencia. En el evangelio de hoy vemos otro Pedro; es él, estando en la barca, que reconoce a Jesús desde la distancia: “Es el Señor.” No tenía la paciencia de esperar la llegada de la barca a la orilla del lago; se tiró al agua. Después comieron juntos; tantas veces habían comido juntos, y así formando relaciones más fuertes. Podemos preguntarnos: ¿Cómo familia comemos juntos para conversar, saber lo que está pasando en las vidas de los demás y para entendernos mejor? Después de comer, en la presencia de los demás Jesús le hace a Pedro la pregunta: “¿Me amas? Pedro está al lado de Jesucristo resucitado, y puede ser que esté sintiéndose mal por las negaciones previas, pero ahora se siente alegre porque Jesús muerto es vivo, y habla a Pedro con tanto amor. Tres veces Jesús hace la pregunta, “¿Me amas?” Cada respuesta de Pedro le ayuda entrar más profundamente en su amor y relación con Jesús. Con insistencia Pedro confiesa su amor para Jesús vivo. El enfatiza el amor que tiene para con Jesús. ¡Qué diferencia hay! ¡Ahora no es Jesús sufriente sino Jesús resucitado! Jesús ahora le encomienda la tarea de cuidar los seguidores de Jesús, de hacer una tarea pastoral: de predicar, anunciar y ofrecer a otras personas todo lo que había recibido. Tan feliz es Pedro; Jesús lo ha perdonado y ahora está pidiéndole ayudar a compartir la verdad de Jesús con otros: “apacienta mis corderos,” “pastorea mis ovejas,” y “sígueme.” Hoy en día ¿qué significa amar a Jesús y apacentar sus corderos? Es cuidar las vidas de los hijos; es enseñarles sobre Dios Padre, Jesucristo y el Espíritu Santo; es educar cristianamente con la palabra y el ejemplo a los hijos y a los que no conocen a Dios. Es ayudar a los que están alejados de la Iglesia por invitarles acompañarte a la iglesia, y es orar por ellos. Es mirar por el bienestar material y espiritual de todos que se encuentran a nuestro servicio. Por hacer todo esto y mucho más estamos demostrando nuestro amor. Vamos formando relaciones y lazos de amor con estos corderos de Jesús. Jesús nos pregunta a cada uno de nosotros: “¿Me amas?” El amor es más que sentimiento, más profundo que la alegría que se lleva. El amor no es solamente morir por el otro, sino vivir por el otro. El amor es estimar y querer a la otra persona por sí no más, a pesar de las consecuencias. ¿Cómo amas a Jesucristo? ¿Cómo amas a tu pareja? ¿Cómo amas a tu madre y a tu padre? ¿Cómo amas a tus hijos? ¿Cómo amas a tu amigo? ¿Cómo amas a tu prójimo? ¿Cómo amas a ti mismo?

April 10, 2016 Third Sunday Of Easter

St. Michael Church Newark, New York

Dear Parish Family, In this week’s Gospel from John, Jesus reveals himself to the disciples for the third time, after being raised from the dead. Jesus took time to light a fire in order to prepare breakfast for his disciples. Often, gospel stories talk about people preparing meals and serving them. Jesus seemed to say a lot through meals and at meals. He allowed a woman to dry his feet with her hair at a meal, one of his first meetings with people was a wedding meal, he sat and ate with sinners and tax collectors and then there is the Last Supper where Jesus gave himself to all of us in the bread and wine. This gospel reminds me how the act of cooking is an act of love. Jesus loved his disciples, and showed that love by cooking a simple breakfast of bread and fish. After Jesus’ death and resurrection comes the Spirit of Love. Love given, Love received, and Love shared. In cooking for people, love is active, even if others don’t see it as a sign of love. My mother always enjoyed having her family over on a Sunday for a meal. She would prepare everything herself, never wanting help with the cooking. She did this for us because she loved us and wanted to share and enjoy meals together. My mother came from a very poor family, so being able to provide to us, what she didn’t have as a child, was one of her greatest joys. I write this about my mom in the past tense because, after suffering a stroke during open heart surgery, she is no longer able to cook large meals for the family, it just takes too much energy and takes her several days to recover. So, now when we gather for family meals, we all pitch in and cook something to share in the meal together, a sign of love to each other. The breakfast meal with Jesus will end with questions about love and being sent on the mission of Jesus, simply put, “Follow me.” How do you follow Jesus on a daily basis? How do you share in a meal of love with others? Peace & love to all, June
