Mt 28, 8-15
Después de escuchar las palabras del ángel, las mujeres se alejaron a toda prisa del sepulcro, y llenas de temor y de gran alegría, corrieron a dar la noticia a los discípulos. Pero de repente Jesús les salió al encuentro y las saludó. Ellas se le acercaron, le abrazaron los pies y lo adoraron. Entonces les dijo Jesús: "No tengan miedo. Vayan a decir a mis hermanos que se dirijan a Galilea. Allá me verán".
Mientras las mujeres iban de camino, algunos soldados de la guardia fueron a la ciudad y dieron parte a los sumos sacerdotes de todo lo ocurrido. Éstos se reunieron con los ancianos, y juntos acordaron dar una fuerte suma de dinero a los soldados, con estas instrucciones: "Digan: 'Durante la noche, estando nosotros dormidos, llegaron sus discípulos y se robaron el cuerpo'. Y si esto llega a oídos del gobernador, nosotros nos arreglaremos con él y les evitaremos cualquier complicación".
Ellos tomaron el dinero y actuaron conforme a las instrucciones recibidas. Esta versión de los soldados se ha ido difundiendo entre los judíos hasta el día de hoy.

GospelMT 28:8-15
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb,
fearful yet overjoyed,
and ran to announce the news to his disciples.
And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them.
They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.
Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid.
Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee,
and there they will see me."
While they were going, some of the guard went into the city
and told the chief priests all that had happened.
The chief priests assembled with the elders and took counsel;
then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,
telling them, "You are to say,
'His disciples came by night and stole him while we were asleep.'
And if this gets to the ears of the governor,
we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."
The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed.
And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present day.

Meditacion:
Los evangelios de hoy son ambos interesantes y muy ricos. A la alegria de las mujeres en su encuentro con Jesus resucitado, la primera lectura es de Hechos, libro que leeremos por unos dias y que se considera la prolongacion de los evangelios.
En el evangelio se narran dos encuentros: uno, fraternal y lleno de alegria, Jesus les sale al encuentro a las mujeres que volvian de la tumba. presurosas por anunciar la buena nueva: Jesus ha resucitado, su cuerpo no esta entre nosotros.
Jesus les da dos directivas "no tengan miedo" les dice y "vayan y digan a los hermanos que se dirijan a Galilea" y anade "alli me veran"
Esta frase esta llena de simbolismos. En nuestro encuentro personal con Jesus, hay que dejar el temor afuera. El temor es el mayor enemigo, lo que nos impide avanzar confiadamente hacia nuestro Padre.
La segunda parte es ir hacia "nuestra" Galilea, ese lugar de encuentro que no es necesariamente fisico, porque el encuentro con Jesus puede darse en cualquier lugar y momento.
Jesus nos llama y nos espera, pacientemente, cada dia, cada hora.
Dejemos hoy el temor y avancemos hacia El.
El segundo encuentro nos muestra a los soldados reportando a los Sumos Sacerdotes que el cuerpo de Jesus no estaba. En este punto voy a nombrar el relato de la Pasion hecha por un evangelio apocrifo, el de Pedro, que describe casi minuciosamente como fue la resurreccion de Jesus, como dos angeles bajaron del cielo, movieron la roca que cerraba la tumba y sacaron a Jesus y lo llevaron al cielo.
Otro detalle que el evangelio de Pedro senala es que en la cruxifixion de Jesus solo participaron soldados no romanos, posiblemente, tropa judia o mercenaria.
Bueno.. fueron ellos los que testimoniaron (llenos de espanto) lo que sucedio esa madrugada.
Y aqui vemos el pecado que busca mentir, que busca ocultar la verdad... se vende esa verdad por dinero.
El pecado es siempre enemigo de la verdad y Jesus aun en su resurreccion paso por esto, la malidecencia.
Hermanos, Cristo ha resucitado y ha abierto las puertas del cielo para todos nosotros.
Hora de comenzar a caminar con un corazon nuevo y renovado, sabiendo confiadamente que Jesus nos espera, alla en Galilea. Amen
The gospels of today are both interesting and very rich. To the joy of women in their encounter with the risen Jesus, the first reading is of Acts, a book that we will read for a few days and that is considered the prolongation of the Gospels.
In the Gospel, two encounters are narrated: one, fraternal and full of joy, Jesus meets the women who returned from the grave. hurry to announce the good news: Jesus has risen, his body is not among us.
Jesus gives them two directives "do not be afraid" he says and "go and tell the brothers to go to Galilee" and add "there they will see me"
This phrase is full of symbolism. In our personal encounter with Jesus, we must leave fear outside. Fear is the greatest enemy, which prevents us from moving confidently towards our Father.
The second part is to go to "our" Galilee, that meeting place that is not necessarily physical, because the encounter with Jesus can occur anywhere and anytime.
Jesus calls us and waits for us, patiently, every day, every hour.
Let's leave fear today and move forward to Him.
The second encounter shows the soldiers reporting to the High Priests that the body of Jesus was not there. At this point I am going to name the story of the Passion made by an apocryphal gospel, that of Peter, which describes almost as thoroughly as it was the resurrection of Jesus, as two angels came down from heaven, moved the rock that closed the tomb and took Jesus out and they took him to heaven.
Another detail that the Gospel of Peter points out is that only non-Roman soldiers, possibly a Jewish or mercenary troop, participated in the cross-fertilization of Jesus.
Well ... they were the ones who testified (full of horror) what happened that dawn.
And here we see the sin that seeks to lie, that seeks to hide the truth ... that truth is sold for money.
Sin is always an enemy of the truth and Jesus, even in his resurrection, went through this, the evil.
Brethren, Christ has risen and has opened the doors of heaven for all of us.
Time to start walking with a new and renewed heart, confidently knowing that Jesus awaits us, there in Galilee. Amen
