El amor

Mc 6, 30-34

En aquel tiempo, los apóstoles volvieron a reunirse con Jesús y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho y enseñado. Entonces él les dijo: “Vengan conmigo a un lugar solitario, para que descansen un poco”. Porque eran tantos los que iban y venían, que no les dejaban tiempo ni para comer.

Jesús y sus apóstoles se dirigieron en una barca hacia un lugar apartado y tranquilo. La gente los vio irse y los reconoció; entonces de todos los poblados fueron corriendo por tierra a aquel sitio y se les adelantaron.

Cuando Jesús desembarcó, 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

GospelMK 6:30-34

The Apostles gathered together with Jesus
and reported all they had done and taught.
He said to them,
“Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.”
People were coming and going in great numbers,
and they had no opportunity even to eat.
So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.
People saw them leaving and many came to know about it.
They hastened there on foot from all the towns
and arrived at the place before them.

When Jesus disembarked and 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.

Meditacion:

Los apostoles volvieron! Yo me imagino lo excitado que estarian por contarle a Jesus como les habia ido. Y Jesus los trata como a su familia, quiere mimarlos y estar solos con ellos porque con tanta gente alrededor era imposible.

Cada dia es necesario hacer lo que hizo Jesus, alejarse para contarle nuestro dia, poner en sus manos nuestros problemas, agradecerle por  cada cosa que se nos da. Dios se pronuncia en el silencio y la oracion, no en el ruido.

Pero las personas adivinaros sus intenciones y los siguieros. Fijense algo aca que seguro no habian pensado antes.

En general las personas necesitan cariño, a todos nos gusta sentirnos apreciados y amados. Jesus era y es el amor mismo o sea que, instintivamente, las personas lo seguian porque se sentian amadas y apreciadas por El, sean como fueren.

Jesus amo a todo mundo sin condiciones, sin pedirles que cambien o que fueran otra cosa. Ese es el ejemplo que debemos recordar. El amor no pone condiciones, acepta.

Pero sigamos... Jesus y los apostoles en la barca, todo un pueblo siguiendolos por la orilla... hasta que lo esperaron donde iban a desembarcar.

Y aca el amor se manifiesta de nuevo. Dice la escritura que "se compadeció de ellos, porque andaban como ovejas sin pastor" y se puso a ensenarles de nuevo. El amor en accion, el amor que reacciona automaticamente ante la necesidad de las personas. No me importa como o que eres, te ensenare a amar.

Ese es el mensaje de este sabado, aprendamos a amar sin condiciones y con total aceptacion. Entonces, hermanos, seremos libres; San Agustin tiene una frase que lo resume todo "Ama y haz lo que quieras"

“Gracias, Señor y Salvador mío, por llamarme a tu lado. ¡Aquí estoy, Señor! Ven y lléname.” Amen

The apostles returned! I imagine how excited they would be to tell Jesus how they were doing. And Jesus treats them like his family, wants to pamper them and be alone with them because with so many people around it was impossible.

Every day it is necessary to do what Jesus did, walk away to tell us about our day, put our problems in his hands, thank him for everything he gives us. God speaks in silence and prayer, not in noise.

But people guess their intentions and follow them. Look at something here that surely you had not thought before.

In general people need love, we all like to feel appreciated and loved. Jesus was and is love itself, that is, instinctively, people followed him because they felt loved and appreciated by Him, whatever they were.

Jesus loved everyone without conditions, without asking them to change or be something else. That is the example we must remember. Love does not set conditions, accept.

But let's continue ... Jesus and the apostles in the boat, a whole town following them along the shore ... until they waited for him where they were going to disembark.

And here love manifests itself again. The writing says that "he felt sorry for them, because they walked like sheep without a shepherd" and began to teach them again. Love in action, love that reacts automatically to people's needs. I don't care how or who you are, I will teach you to love.

That is the message of this Saturday, let's learn to love without conditions and with total acceptance. Then, brothers, we will be free; San Agustin has a phrase that sums it up "Love and do what you want"

“Thank you, Lord and my Savior, for calling me by your side. Here I am, Lord! Come and fill me. ”Amen
