Misionar

Mc 6, 7-13

En aquel tiempo, llamó Jesús a los Doce, los envió de dos en dos y les dio poder sobre los espíritus inmundos. Les mandó que no llevaran nada para el camino: ni pan, ni mochila, ni dinero en el cinto, sino únicamente un bastón, sandalias y una sola túnica.

Y les dijo: “Cuando entren en una casa, quédense en ella hasta que se vayan de ese lugar. Si en alguna parte no los reciben ni los escuchan, al abandonar ese lugar, sacúdanse el polvo de los pies, como una advertencia para ellos”.

Los discípulos se fueron a predicar el arrepentimiento. Expulsaban a los demonios, ungían con aceite a los enfermos y los curaban.

GospelMK 6:7-13

Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two
and gave them authority over unclean spirits.
He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick
–no food, no sack, no money in their belts.
They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic.
He said to them,
“Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there.
Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you,
leave there and shake the dust off your feet
in testimony against them.”
So they went off and preached repentance.
The Twelve drove out many demons,
and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.

Meditacion:

En los dias pasado el evangelio nos hablaba de fe. Fe para creer que un milagro era posible, fe para ver a Jesus y creer en El.

Hoy el evangelio nos propone usar esa fe y salir a compartirla.

Un cristiano que no predica, que no refleja con su vida, que tiene miedo del que diran o le da verguenza, aun no comprendio que ser cristiano es arriesgarse, es proponer, es hablar y defender sus verdades, respetando el camino espiritual de cada uno pero dejando en claro para donde vamos nosotros.

No tengamos miedo, Jesus mando a sus discipulos solo con lo puesto, sin dinero y sin ropa mas que la puesta y les dijo que si nolos recibian, simplemente, siguieran su camino.

Y esto miren es muy importante. No nos dijo que convirtieramos a todos, que nos creyeramos que eramos los unicos; si la personas de un lugar los rechazan, sacudanse hasta el polvo de las sandalias.

O sea que la mision evangelizadora a la par de la fe, debe tener mucha humildad; una roca es perforada por una gota de agua a traves de muchisimo tiempo y si intentamos que una planta crezca tirando hacia arriba, solo lograremos que se suelta de sus raices y muera. Confianza, oracion, fe y alegria son los elementos de un buen misionero y definitivamente de todo cristiano.

Así irán creciendo tu fe y tu confianza, y podrás atreverte a compartir el Evangelio con otras personas la próxima vez que tengas la oportunidad. Da hoy ese paso, y observa cómo Dios te muestra su ayuda.

“Espíritu Santo, enséñanos a darnos cuenta de lo mucho que necesitamos creer y esperar en el amor de Dios. Perdona, Señor, nuestra incredulidad.” Amen

In the past days the gospel told us about faith. Faith to believe that a miracle was possible, faith to see Jesus and believe in Him.

Today the gospel proposes us to use that faith and go out to share it.

A Christian who does not preach, who does not reflect with his life, who is afraid of being told or embarrassed, has not yet understood that being a Christian is to take risks, is to propose, is to speak and defend his truths, respecting each one's spiritual path but making it clear where we are going.

Let us not be afraid, Jesus sent his disciples only with what they put on, without money and without clothes, rather than putting them on and told them that if they did not receive them, they would simply go on their way.

And this look is very important. He did not tell us to convert everyone, to believe that we were the only ones; if the people of a place reject them, shake to the dust of the sandals.

In other words, the evangelizing mission along with faith must have a lot of humility; a rock is pierced by a drop of water over a long time and if we try to make a plant grow by pulling up, we will only get it loose from its roots and die. Trust, prayer, faith and joy are the elements of a good missionary and definitely of every Christian.

This will grow your faith and your confidence, and you can dare to share the Gospel with other people the next time you have the opportunity. Take that step today, and see how God shows you his help.

“Holy Spirit, teach us to realize how much we need to believe and hope in God's love. Forgive, Lord, our unbelief. ”Amen
