Mc 6, 34-44
En aquel tiempo, al desembarcar Jesús, vio una numerosa multitud que lo estaba esperando, y se compadeció de ellos, porque andaban como ovejas sin pastor, y se puso a enseñarles muchas cosas.
Cuando ya atardecía, se acercaron sus discípulos y le dijeron: "Estamos en despoblado y ya es muy tarde. Despide a la gente para que vayan por los caseríos y poblados del contorno y compren algo de comer". Él les replicó: "Denles ustedes de comer". Ellos le dijeron: "¿Acaso vamos a ir a comprar doscientos denarios de pan para darles de comer?" Él les preguntó: "¿Cuántos panes tienen? Vayan a ver". Cuando lo averiguaron, le dijeron: "Cinco panes y dos pescados".
Entonces ordenó Jesús que la gente se sentara en grupos sobre la hierba verde y se acomodaron en grupos de cien y de cincuenta. Tomando los cinco panes y los dos pescados, Jesús alzó los ojos al cielo, bendijo a Dios, partió los panes y se los dio a los discípulos para que los distribuyeran; lo mismo hizo con los dos pescados.
Comieron todos hasta saciarse, y con las sobras de pan y de pescado que recogieron llenaron doce canastos. Los que comieron fueron cinco mil hombres.

GospelMK 6:34-44
When Jesus saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them,
for they were like sheep without a shepherd;
and he began to teach them many things.
By now it was already late and his disciples approached him and said,
"This is a deserted place and it is already very late.
Dismiss them so that they can go
to the surrounding farms and villages
and buy themselves something to eat."
He said to them in reply,
"Give them some food yourselves."
But they said to him,
"Are we to buy two hundred days' wages worth of food
and give it to them to eat?"
He asked them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see."
And when they had found out they said,
"Five loaves and two fish."
So he gave orders to have them sit down in groups on the green grass.
The people took their places in rows by hundreds and by fifties.
Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven,
he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples
to set before the people;
he also divided the two fish among them all.
They all ate and were satisfied.
And they picked up twelve wicker baskets full of fragments
and what was left of the fish.
Those who ate of the loaves were five thousand men.
for they were like sheep without a shepherd;
and he began to teach them many things.

Meditacion:
Me encanta este pasaje del evangelio porque es de una enseñanza muy profunda.
Miren en estos versiculos Jesus nos enseña a todos como actuar con los demas.
Sigue el discurso del amor que escuchábamos ayer. Se ve que cuesta entrar en esa dinámica, y hay que dar martillazo tras martillazo para remachar el mensaje. Y seguimos en la dinámica de “decir + hacer”. Si se habla de amor cristiano, se debe traducir en obras. “Dadles vosotros de comer”. Seguramente los Discípulos pusieron cara de “pero qué nos estás contando, Maestro”. Es posible que ellos también tuvieran lástima de la gente, como Jesús. Pero les faltó la segunda parte, el poner medidas, actuar, obrar, moverse. Es necesaria la intervención de Jesús, para que todo se arregle. Comieron hasta saciarse, y sobraron doce cestos. Con Dios hay de todo, para todos.
Nosotros solemos ser, por lo general, empáticos. Nos entristece el sufrimiento ajeno, sobre todo el de los niños y ancianos. Vemos la tele, oímos la radio y las catástrofes naturales nos ayudan a abrir el monedero y hacer algún donativo. Se trata de seguir en esa línea. Y no nos olvidemos de los que sufren cerca de nuestra casa. Que sepamos salir hacia los que nos necesitan.
No seamos cristianos que solo vamos a misa y cumplimos por cumplir pongamos el corazon en eso!! Miremos a los ojos cuando damos un donativo a una persona que vive en la calle, seamos agradecidos de lo que Dios nos da para administrar, abramos nuestro corazon sin temores al que sufre.
Esa es la enseñanza de este hermoso pasaje de hoy.
No nos olvidemos que Jesús mismo pudo haber dado de comer directamente a la multitud, pero más bien invitó a sus discípulos a que participaran en su labor misionera.
Invitemos a otros a venir a nuestras practicas religiosas con nosotros y a hacer obras de bien.
Pídele al Señor que actúe por tu intermedio, y deja que su vida y su amor crezcan en ti para que llegues a ser un instrumento del Reino de Dios para todos tus conocidos y amigos.
“Jesús, Señor mío, concédeme tu gracia, te lo ruego, para dar un buen testimonio y llevar a mis familiares y amigos a tu presencia.” Amen

I love this gospel passage because it is a very profound teaching.
Look at these verses Jesus teaches us all how to act with others.
Follow the love speech we heard yesterday. You can see that it is difficult to enter into this dynamic, and you have to hammer after hammering to clinch the message. And we continue in the dynamic of "say + do". If we talk about Christian love, it must be translated into works. "Give them to eat." Surely the Disciples put on the face of "but what are you telling us, Master". It is possible that they too had pity on people, like Jesus. But they lacked the second part, to put measures, to act, to act, to move. It is necessary the intervention of Jesus, so that everything is fixed. They ate until they were satisfied, and twelve baskets remained. With God there is everything, for everyone.
We usually are, in general, empathic. We are saddened by the suffering of others, especially the children and the elderly. We watch TV, listen to the radio and natural disasters help us open the purse and make a donation. It's about continuing in that line. And let's not forget those who suffer near our house. That we know how to go out to those who need us.
Let's not be Christians that we only go to mass and we fulfill by fulfilling our hearts! Let us look into each other's eyes when we give a donation to a person who lives on the street, let us be grateful for what God gives us to administer, let us open our hearts without fear to those who suffer.
That is the teaching of this beautiful passage today.
Let us not forget that Jesus himself could have fed the crowd directly, but rather invited his disciples to participate in his missionary work.
We invite others to come to our religious practices with us and to do good deeds.
Ask the Lord to act through you, and let your life and love grow in you so that you may become an instrument of the Kingdom of God for all your acquaintances and friends.
"Jesus, my Lord, grant me your grace, I beg you, to give a good testimony and take my family and friends to your presence." Amen
