Mc 8, 14-21
En aquel tiempo, cuando los discípulos iban con Jesús en la barca, se dieron cuenta de que se les había olvidado llevar pan; sólo tenían uno. Jesús les hizo esta advertencia: "Fíjense bien y cuídense de la levadura de los fariseos y de la de Herodes". Entonces ellos comentaban entre sí: "Es que no tenemos panes".
Dándose cuenta de ello, Jesús les dijo: "¿Por qué están comentando que no trajeron panes? ¿Todavía no entienden ni acaban de comprender? ¿Tan embotada está su mente? ¿Para qué tienen ustedes ojos, si no ven, y oídos, si no oyen? ¿No recuerdan cuántos canastos de sobras recogieron, cuando repartí cinco panes entre cinco mil hombres?" Ellos le contestaron: "Doce". Y añadió: "¿Y cuántos canastos de sobras recogieron cuando repartí siete panes entre cuatro mil?" Le respondieron: "Siete". Entonces él dijo: "¿Y todavía no acaban de comprender?"

GospelMK 8:14-21
The disciples had forgotten to bring bread,
and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.
Jesus enjoined them, “Watch out,
guard against the leaven of the Pharisees
and the leaven of Herod.”
They concluded among themselves that
it was because they had no bread.
When he became aware of this he said to them,
“Why do you conclude that it is because you have no bread?
Do you not yet understand or comprehend?
Are your hearts hardened?
Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear?
And do you not remember,
when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand,
how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?”
They answered him, “Twelve.”
“When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand,
how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?”
They answered him, “Seven.”
He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.
Jesus enjoined them, “Watch out,
guard against the leaven of the Pharisees
and the leaven of Herod.”
They concluded among themselves that
it was because they had no bread.
When he became aware of this he said to them,
“Why do you conclude that it is because you have no bread?
Do you not yet understand or comprehend?
Are your hearts hardened?
Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear?
And do you not remember,
when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand,
how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?”
They answered him, “Twelve.”
“When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand,
how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?”
They answered him, “Seven.”
He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”

Meditacion:
Logicamente Jesus tenia "linea directa con el cielo"; a diferencia nuestra, nunca se desconectaba de su mision y siempre estaba como diriamos "en la jugada".
Mientras tanto los apostoles se preocupaban porque no habian llevado suficiente pan, Jesus les dice algo que no comprenden: "Fíjense bien y cuídense de la levadura de los fariseos y de la de Herodes".
Porque les dice esto? Porque los apostoles discutian sobre algo tan material como el pan y Jesus les habia mostrado que podia dar de comer y aun sobrar, venian de ver el milagro de la multiplicacion de los panes y los peces y se seguian preocupando por algo tan pequeno como que no tenia suficiente pan.
Muchas veces a nosotros nos pasa lo mismo. Andamos mas preocupados por nuestros propios problemas y alrededor nuestro los milagros se suceden pero, sencillamente, no podemos verlos.
Aprendamos a caminar con Jesus y a agradecer los pequenos milagros diarios... tenemos salud, tenemos una familia que se preocupa por nosotros, tenemos un techo, amigos que nos acercan el evangelio y que no nos alejan de la Iglesia...
Esos son los milagros de la gracia; ahora es tiempo de poner de nuestro lado y generar esos mismos milagros para otras personas... seamos buenos, misericordiosos, alegres de corazon y hablemos de Jesus, hablemos del amor de Dios aunque nos miren raro. Seremos de esa manera, herramientas en las manos de nuestro creador.
“Gracias, Jesús, Señor mío, por no dejarme solo, aun cuando no te vea. Gracias por todas las veces que me has protegido y me has dado fuerzas para soportar las dificultades. Eres maravilloso y te amo. Amén.”

Logically Jesus had "direct line with heaven"; unlike ours, he never disconnected from his mission and was always as we would say "on the play".
Meanwhile the apostles were worried because they had not brought enough bread, Jesus tells them something they do not understand: "Look carefully and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod."
Why does he tell you this? Because the apostles argued about something as material as bread and Jesus had shown them that he could feed and still have left, they came to see the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes and they continued worrying about something as small as not I had enough bread.
Many times the same thing happens to us. We are more concerned about our own problems and around us miracles happen but, simply, we can not see them.
Let us learn to walk with Jesus and to thank the little daily miracles ... we have health, we have a family that cares for us, we have a roof, friends who bring us the gospel and who do not take us away from the Church ...
These are the miracles of grace; now is the time to put on our side and generate those same miracles for other people ... let's be good, merciful, happy in heart and talk about Jesus, let's talk about God's love even if they look at us strangely. We will be that way, tools in the hands of our creator.
"Thank you, Jesus, my Lord, for not leaving me alone, even when I do not see you. Thank you for all the times you have protected me and given me strength to withstand the difficulties. You are wonderful and I love you. Amen."
