From the Pastor Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear Friends in Christ, Things do not always go as planned. We may have a certain idea of how things should go, but we do not always have complete control over the direction and/or outcome. A road map is good. We need some direction and planning. As we get older we also realize that we need to be flexible. Much like a baseball player who is expecting a fastball, but the pitcher throws a curveball instead. The baseball player has to adapt to whatever is thrown his or her way. We have to be able to adapt to whatever may come our way. For the last several weeks our Gospel reading for Sunday has come from chapter six of the Gospel according to John. This is the chapter on Jesus’ teaching about the Eucharist – the Bread of Life. Jesus talks about the fact that He is the true Bread come down from heaven. His flesh is true food, and His blood is true drink. Whoever eats His flesh and drinks His blood has eternal life. This was not the pitch that the disciples were looking for when Jesus initially said this. They expected a fastball. They wanted a warrior Messiah who would conquer the Roman army and set them free. Instead Jesus threw them a curveball. Jesus came and talked of peace, serving others, sacrificing your life; and for Jesus it meant giving His flesh and blood as “food that endures for eternal life.” (Jn 6:27) This was a curveball that caught them completely off guard. Many of Jesus’ disciples left Him because they couldn’t handle the curveball. They struck out and walked away dejected. This was not the game that they wanted to play. Jesus looked at His closest disciples and asked them, “Do you also want to leave?” (Jn 6:67) His closest disciples were seemingly shocked as well; but Peter realized that Jesus was the way, and the truth, and the life. (Jn 14:6) Peter replied, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.” (Jn 6:6869) Even though Peter did not understand what Jesus was talking about regarding His body and blood, Peter knew in his heart that Jesus was the One that he needed to follow. Peter made the wisest decision of his life by not turning away from Jesus. He knew that he needed to cling to Jesus because He is God’s Word that leads to eternal life. (see Ps 91:14-16) Life throws us many pitches that we aren’t expecting. We expect one type of pitch, and we receive another one that is totally different. We have to be adaptable. The thing that we don’t want to do is give up and walk away. Cling to Jesus, turn to Him with all your heart, and He will never let you down. He will always be at our side guiding us through the unexpected. (see Ps 23) If things get rough and Jesus asks us, “Do you also want to leave?” May we always answer Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” For Jesus is the way and the truth and the life that leads to the true peace, prosperity and everlasting life that we all desire. Jesus I trust in You, Fr.

Donde radica nuestro corazón? Domingo Veintiuno del Tiempo Ordinario Queridos Amigos en Cristo, Las cosas no siempre salen como se planearon. Podemos tener una cierta idea de cómo las cosas deberian ser, pero no siempre tenemos todo el control sobre la dirección y/o resultado. Tener un plan es bueno. Necesitamos algún tipo de dirección y planificación. A medida que la persona envejece nos damos cuenta de que hay que ser flexible. Muy parecido a un jugador de béisbol que está a la espera de una pelota, pero el lanzador lanza una curva en su lugar. El jugador de béisbol tiene que adaptarse a lo que se produce en su camino. Tenemos que ser capaces de adaptarnos a cualquier cosa que ocurra en nuestra vida. En las últimas semanas la lectura del Evangelio del Domingo son del capítulo seis del Evangelio de Juan. Este es el capítulo de la enseñanza de Jesús sobre la Eucaristía— Pan de Vida. Jesús habla de que Él es el verdadero Pan del cielo. Su carne es verdadera comida y Su sangre es verdadera bebida. El que come Su carne y bebe Su sangre tiene vida eterna. Esto no era lo que los discípulos estaban esperando cuando Jesús dijo eso. Esperaban una respuesta rapida. Querían un Mesías guerrero que conquistara el ejército romano y los dejara en libertad. En cambio Jesús les tiró una curva. Jesús se acercó y habló de la paz, del servicio a los demás, sacrificando su vida; y para Jesús eso quiere decir que va a dar su carne y su sangre como alimento que perdura para la vida eterna." (Jn 6:27 ) Esta fué una curva que los dejó totalmente desprevenidos. Muchos de los discípulos de Jesús lo abandonaron porque no pudieron manejar la curva. Ellos se fueron lejos abatidos. Este no era el juego que querían jugar. Jesús miró a sus discípulos más cercanos y les preguntó, " ¿ustedes también desean irse?" (Jn 6:67 ) Sus discípulos más cercanos también fueron sorprendidos, pero Pedro se dió cuenta que Jesús era el camino, la verdad y la vida. (Jn 14, 6), Pedro respondió: "Maestro, ¿a quién iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna. Hemos llegado a creer y estamos convencidos de que tú eres el Santo de Dios." (Jn 6:68 ) a pesar de que Pedro no entendía lo que Jesús estaba hablando acerca de su cuerpo y de su sangre, Pedro sabía en su corazón que a Jesús era al que necesitaba seguir. Pedro hizo la decisión más acertada de su vida por no darle la espalda a Jesús. Él sabía que necesitaba aferrarse a Jesús, porque Él es la Palabra de Dios que lleva a la vida eterna. (Ver Ps 91:14-16 ) La Vida nos da muchas cosas que no nos esperamos. Una cosa es lo que esperamos y otra lo que recibimos que es totalmente diferente. Tenemos que tener la capacidad de adaptarnos. Lo que no queremos hacer es renunciar y alejarnos. Aferrate a Jesús, a Dios con todo tu corazón y él nunca te defraudará. Él siempre estará a nuestro lado nos guía a través de lo inesperado. (Ver Salmo 23) Si las cosas se vuelven ásperas Jesús nos pregunta, " ¿Usted también se quiere ir? ", que siempre le respondamos, "Señor, ¿a quién iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna." Jesús es el camino, la verdad y la vida que lleva a la verdadera paz, la prosperidad y la vida eterna que todos deseamos.
