Lc 24, 35-48
Cuando los dos discípulos regresaron de Emaús y llegaron al sitio donde estaban reunidos los apóstoles, les contaron lo que les había pasado en el camino y cómo habían reconocido a Jesús al partir el pan.
Mientras hablaban de esas cosas, se presentó Jesús en medio de ellos y les dijo: “La paz esté con ustedes”. Ellos, desconcertados y llenos de temor, creían ver un fantasma. Pero él les dijo: “No teman; soy yo. ¿Por qué se espantan? ¿Por qué surgen dudas en su interior? Miren mis manos y mis pies. Soy yo en persona, tóquenme y convénzanse: un fantasma no tiene ni carne ni huesos, como ven que tengo yo”. Y les mostró las manos y los pies. Pero como ellos no acababan de creer de pura alegría y seguían atónitos, les dijo: “¿Tienen aquí algo de comer?” Le ofrecieron un trozo de pescado asado; él lo tomó y se puso a comer delante de ellos.
Después les dijo: “Lo que ha sucedido es aquello de que les hablaba yo, cuando aún estaba con ustedes: que tenía que cumplirse todo lo que estaba escrito de mí en la ley de Moisés, en los profetas y en los salmos”.
Entonces les abrió el entendimiento para que comprendieran las Escrituras y les dijo: “Está escrito que el Mesías tenía que padecer y había de resucitar de entre los muertos al tercer día, y que en su nombre se había de predicar a todas las naciones, comenzando por Jerusalén, la necesidad de volverse a Dios para el perdón de los pecados. Ustedes son testigos de esto”.

GospelLK 24:35-48
The disciples of Jesus recounted what had taken place along the way,
and how they had come to recognize him in the breaking of bread.
and how they had come to recognize him in the breaking of bread.
While they were still speaking about this,
he stood in their midst and said to them,
“Peace be with you.”
But they were startled and terrified
and thought that they were seeing a ghost.
Then he said to them, “Why are you troubled?
And why do questions arise in your hearts?
Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.
Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones
as you can see I have.”
And as he said this,
he showed them his hands and his feet.
While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed,
he asked them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
They gave him a piece of baked fish;
he took it and ate it in front of them.

“Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer
and rise from the dead on the third day
and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins,
would be preached in his name
to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.”

Meditacion:
Jesucristo resucitado saluda a los discípulos nuevamente con el deseo de la paz, porque no es un fantasma, es totalmente real, pero a veces el temor los sobrecoge. Por el temor, representado por la piedra que cerró el frío sepulcro de Jesús, se encerraron también los discípulos; es decir, el temor los ahoga, están ¡muertos de miedo!... rumiando su desgracia, pues había muerto su Maestro. La esperanza les había abandonado, se les iba la vida. Pero: “La paz esté con ustedes” son las palabras que abren los cerrojos del corazón; la esperanza se restablece y resucita.
Les dijo Jesús: ¿Por qué se espantan? ¿Por qué surgen dudas en su interior? (Lucas 24, 37). Tantas veces nos da miedo “el mundo” y nos “protegemos de él”. Por ejemplo, preferimos repetir fórmulas y oraciones “religiosas” antes que anunciar la fuerza viva del Evangelio, porque nos “compromete”. Miedo a denunciar lo que envilece al hombre, miedo a luchar contra lo que lo disminuye, miedos disfrazados de “prudencia”, olvidando que Cristo tiene un solo rostro… ¡El del prójimo! ¡Paz! Una sola palabra ha sido suficiente para que todo recomience.
En ocasiones es la falta de fe y de vida interior lo que va cambiando las cosas: El miedo pasa a ser la realidad y Cristo se desdibuja de nuestra vida. En cambio, la presencia de Cristo en la vida del creyente aleja las dudas, ilumina nuestra existencia, especialmente en los rincones que ninguna explicación humana puede esclarecer.
La fe no puede brotar en el temor; se desarrolla en la paz de un corazón que, sin necesidad de pruebas y demostraciones, se siente amado y capaz de amar. La fe es como la vida: muere cuando vive angustiada; se envenena cuando ya no se atreve a soñar. ¿Eres tú capaz de “soñar” con un mundo nuevo, diferente, sin temores, lleno de esperanza? ¿Crees que Cristo, resucitado hace 2000 años, sigue presente y actuando en cada uno de nosotros, procurando la paz, formando una comunidad de amor en medio del mundo, a través de nosotros? ¿Cuáles son las dudas y temores que te impiden ser un hombre nuevo o mujer nueva, libre, resucitado, lleno de Dios? ¿Crees de verdad que él está en tu prójimo? Si crees todo esto, el Señor te mirará con amor y te sonreirá para que siempre confíes en su ayuda y su protección.
“Sí, Señor y Salvador mío, creo que ahora vives para siempre y que también estás en mi prójimo.”

The risen Jesus Christ greets the disciples again with the desire for peace, because he is not a ghost, he is totally real, but sometimes fear overwhelms them. Out of fear, represented by the stone that closed the cold tomb of Jesus, the disciples also shut themselves up; that is to say, fear drowns them, they are scared to death! ... ruminating their misfortune, because their Master had died. Hope had abandoned them, their lives were leaving. But: "Peace be with you" are the words that open the locks of the heart; hope is restored and rises.
Jesus said to them: Why are you scared? Why do doubts arise within you? (Luke 24, 37). So many times we are afraid of "the world" and "protect ourselves from it." For example, we prefer to repeat "religious" formulas and prayers before announcing the living force of the Gospel, because it "commits" us. Fear of denouncing what debases man, fear of fighting against what diminishes him, fears disguised as "prudence", forgetting that Christ has only one face ... That of the neighbor! Peace! A single word has been enough for everything to start again.
Sometimes it is the lack of faith and interior life that changes things: Fear becomes reality and Christ blurs our lives. Instead, the presence of Christ in the believer's life removes doubts, illuminates our existence, especially in the corners that no human explanation can clarify.
Faith cannot spring from fear; it develops in the peace of a heart that, without the need for tests and demonstrations, feels loved and capable of loving. Faith is like life: it dies when it lives in anguish; he is poisoned when he no longer dares to dream. Are you able to "dream" of a new, different world, without fear, full of hope? Do you believe that Christ, resurrected 2000 years ago, is still present and acting in each one of us, seeking peace, forming a community of love in the midst of the world, through us? What are the doubts and fears that prevent you from being a new man or a new woman, free, risen, full of God? Do you really believe that he is in your neighbor? If you believe all this, the Lord will look at you with love and smile at you so that you always trust in his help and protection.
"Yes, Lord and Savior of mine, I believe that now you live forever and that you are also in my neighbor."
