Mt 14, 13-21
En aquel tiempo, al enterarse Jesús de la muerte de Juan el Bautista, subió a una barca y se dirigió a un lugar apartado y solitario. Al saberlo la gente, lo siguió por tierra desde los pueblos. Cuando Jesús desembarcó, vio aquella muchedumbre, se compadeció de ella y curó a los enfermos.
Como ya se hacía tarde, se acercaron sus discípulos a decirle: “Estamos en despoblado y empieza a oscurecer. Despide a la gente para que vayan a los caseríos y compren algo de comer”. Pero Jesús les replicó: “No hace falta que vayan. Denles ustedes de comer”. Ellos le contestaron: “No tenemos aquí más que cinco panes y dos pescados”. El les dijo: “Tráiganmelos”.
Luego mandó que la gente se sentara sobre el pasto. Tomó los cinco panes y los dos pescados, y mirando al cielo, pronunció una bendición, partió los panes y se los dio a los discípulos para que los distribuyeran a la gente. Todos comieron hasta saciarse y con los pedazos que habían sobrado, se llenaron doce canastos. Los que comieron eran unos cinco mil hombres, sin contar a las mujeres y a los niños.

GospelMT 14:13-21
When Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist,
he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself.
The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns.
When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd,
his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick.
When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said,
"This is a deserted place and it is already late;
dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages
and buy food for themselves."
He said to them, "There is no need for them to go away;
give them some food yourselves."
But they said to him,
"Five loaves and two fish are all we have here."
Then he said, "Bring them here to me,"
and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven,
he said the blessing, broke the loaves,
and gave them to the disciples,
who in turn gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied,
and they picked up the fragments left over–
twelve wicker baskets full.
Those who ate were about five thousand men,
not counting women and children.

Meditacion:
Hoy es lunes, comenzamos una nueva semana y es dificil (al menos para mi) abstraerme de los acontecimientos de este fin de semana con los dos tiroteos el de El Paso y Dayton, donde murieron casi 30 personas si contamos ambos hechos.
Por un lado, leemos este evangelio de la multiplicacion de los panes y los peces que nos habla de la generosidad infita de Dios que no para de socorrernos y por el otro tenemos hechos de sangre donde Dios parece haber estado ausente.
Y sin duda lo estuvo porque cuando comienza a ser mas importante las diferencias entre nosotros que las semajanzas, es cuando abandonamos el camino de Dios y dejamos paso a las fricciones, a los problemas y eso va creciendo en nosotros, alimentados por el miedo y el odio hasta convertirse en una fuerza poderosa que mata, que odia y que aniquila sin piedad. Dios no esta mas alli.
Muchos de nosotros hoy tuvimos la suerte de abrir nuestros ojos, pudimos ir a nuestros trabajos y no esperamos que nada malo nos pase pero a veces Dios tiene otros planes para nosotros y es posible que debamos presentarnos ante El mucho antes de lo que esperamos.
Es por eso que debemos recordar este milagro de la multiplicacion de los panes y los peces; Jesus habia recibido la noticia de la muerte de Juan El Bautista, pero aun con su corazon dolido por la muerte de su primo y antecesor, se compadece de las personas que lo seguian, se olvida de su propio dolor para salir adelante a hacer el bien.
Muchas personas no saben que la mejor manera para salir de nuestros propios problemas es hacer el bien a otras personas.
Hoy lunes donde aun nos horrorizan los detalles de las recientes ataques de este fin de semana, salgamos, sencillamente, a hacer el bien porque ya hay mas que suficiente mal sobre este planeta.
“Padre eterno, concédenos que tu gracia nos sane y nos moldee como tú quieras, para que reflejemos tu amor en todo.” Amen

Today is Monday, we start a new week and it is difficult (at least for me) to abstract from the events of this weekend with the two shootings of El Paso and Dayton, where almost 30 people died if we told both facts.
On the one hand, we read this gospel of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes that tells us about the infused generosity of God that does not stop helping us and on the other we have facts of blood where God seems to have been absent.
And without a doubt it was because when the differences between us begin to be more important than the similarities, it is when we abandon the path of God and give way to friction, problems and that grows in us, fueled by fear and I hate to become a powerful force that kills, hates and annihilates mercilessly. God is not there anymore.
Many of us today were lucky enough to open our eyes, we were able to go to our jobs and we don't expect anything bad to happen to us but sometimes God has other plans for us and we may have to appear before Him much sooner than we expect.
That is why we must remember this miracle of the multiplication of loaves and fishes; Jesus had received the news of the death of John the Baptist, but even with his heart hurt by the death of his cousin and predecessor, he feels sorry for the people who followed him, forgets his own pain to get ahead to do good .
Many people do not know that the best way to get out of our own problems is to do good to other people.
Today Monday where we are still horrified by the details of the recent attacks this weekend, let's simply do good because there is already more than enough evil on this planet.
“Eternal Father, grant us that your grace will heal us and mold us as you wish, so that we reflect your love in everything.” Amen
