Jn 6, 16-21
Al atardecer del día de la multiplicación de los panes, los discípulos de Jesús bajaron al lago, se embarcaron y empezaron a atravesar hacia Cafarnaúm. Ya había caído la noche y Jesús todavía no los había alcanzado. Soplaba un viento fuerte y las aguas del lago se iban encrespando.
Cuando habían avanzado unos cinco o seis kilómetros, vieron a Jesús caminando sobre las aguas, acercándose a la barca, y se asustaron. Pero él les dijo: "Soy yo, no tengan miedo". Ellos quisieron recogerlo a bordo y rápidamente la barca tocó tierra en el lugar a donde se dirigían.

GospelJN 6:16-21
When it was evening, the disciples of Jesus went down to the sea,
embarked in a boat, and went across the sea to Capernaum.
It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.
When they had rowed about three or four miles,
they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat,
and they began to be afraid.
But he said to them, "It is I. Do not be afraid."
They wanted to take him into the boat,
but the boat immediately arrived at the shore
to which they were heading.

Meditacion:
En la primera lectura vemos como las primeras comunidades de la Iglesia se encontraban con problemas practicos como la distribucion de los bienen de una forma pareja entre todos.
En el evangelio, vemos como Jesus les dice a los apostoles "soy yo, no tengan miedo".
A veces es dificil conjugar el verbo Jesus en los tiempos presentes. Nos es dificil ponerlo en situacion, queremos seguir su ejemplo pero (al igual que los apostoles con la reparticion) no encontramos el camino correcto de como hacerlo.
Nuestros problemas practicos paracen "muy humanos" y no sabemos como encajarlos en la palabra de Dios.
Lo primero creo yo es dejarselo en manos de Jesus cualquier preocupacion que nos supere... este simple acto a veces es complicado para las personas... no tengo trabajo, te lo dejo en tus manos Señor; mi hijo esta enfermo, te lo dejo en tus manos, Señor... mi matrimonio esta en crisis, te lo dejo en tus manos Señor. Hay que tener una fe grande para dejar que Dios entre a nuestra vida y "arregle" nuestros problemas domesticos; sobre todo porque a veces nos negamos, empecinadamente, a arreglar o cambiar algo.
Los otros dias lei una de esas frases que andan dando vuelta en las redes sociales "la vida es eso que comienza al final de tu zona de comfort" y me saco una sonrisa porque es cierto.
Cuando nos conformamos como gatos gordos en vivir sin cambiar, sin desafiarnos a nosotros mismos, no hay mucho lugar para Jesus.
Pensamos, muy neciamente, que no lo necesitamos o que Jesus esta para personas que tienen "problemas serios".
Si Jesus camino sobre las aguas, si convirtio en 3 segundos agua en el mejor vino, si curo infinidad de personas... tu crees que no puede ayudarte con tus problemas "domesticos"??
Hoy sabado te invito a que le pidas que entre a tu corazon, que camine hacia ti y lo invites a morar, que juntos preparen una cena de amigos donde, sencillamente, le pidas que te de una mano de amigo.
“Señor Jesús, quiero decir que sí a tu llamado. Ayúdame a servir a tu pueblo con amor y generosidad. ¡Señor, haznos un solo cuerpo!” Amen

In the first reading we see how the first communities of the Church were faced with practical problems such as the distribution of people in a similar way among all.
In the gospel, we see how Jesus says to the apostles "it's me, do not be afraid".
Sometimes it is difficult to conjugate the verb Jesus in the present times. It is difficult to put it in situation, we want to follow his example but (like the apostles with the repartition) we do not find the correct way of how to do it.
Our practical problems seem "very human" and we do not know how to fit them into the word of God.
The first thing I believe is to leave it in the hands of Jesus any concern that surpasses us ... this simple act is sometimes complicated for people ... I do not have work, I leave it in your hands Lord; my son is sick, I leave it in your hands, Lord ... my marriage is in crisis, I leave it in your hands Lord. We must have a great faith to let God enter our lives and "fix" our domestic problems; especially because sometimes we refuse, stubbornly, to fix or change something.
The other day I read one of those phrases that go around on social networks "life is what begins at the end of your comfort zone" and I take a smile because it is true.
When we conform like fat cats to live without changing, without challenging ourselves, there is not much room for Jesus.
We think, very foolishly, that we do not need it or that Jesus is for people who have "serious problems".
If Jesus walked on the water, if he turned in 3 seconds water into the best wine, if he cured countless people ... you think he can not help you with your "domestic" problems?
Today, Saturday, I invite you to ask him to enter your heart, walk towards you and invite him to live, together prepare a dinner for friends where, simply, ask him to give you a friend's hand.
"Lord Jesus, I want to say yes to your call. Help me to serve your people with love and generosity. Lord, make us one body! "Amen
