BENDICIÓN DE DESPEDIDA En las escrituras hebreas la “bendición de despedida” es una manera común de concluir la historia de la vida de las grandes figuras de la fe de Israel. Las bendiciones de despedida de Jacob, Moisés y David son particularmente notables. Al final del Evangelio según san Lucas, tenemos la “bendición de despedida” de Jesús; es la única vez en que se describe a Jesús dando una bendición a sus discípulos. Es claro que la despedida de Jesús es diferente. A diferencia de Jacob, Moisés y David, quienes impartieron su bendición de despedida próximos a su muerte, Jesús ofrece su bendición al tiempo que se prepara para entrar su nueva y gloriosa vida sentado a la derecha de Dios en el Cielo. Su bendición, como la de sus predecesores, es para darles fortaleza y valor. Pero también tiene otro propósito: los prepara para ir a cumplir su misión. De esta manera, es precursora de la bendición de despedida que recibimos al final de cada misa. Sí, la gracia de la bendición de Dios nos fortalece, pero también es una fuerza dinámica que nos envía a cumplir la misión de continuar la vida y la obra de Cristo Resucitado. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Jesús les dice a los discípulos que recibirán el poder del Espíritu Santo (Hch 1:1-11). Salmo — Entre voces de júbilo, Dios asciende a su trono (Salmo 47 [46]). Segunda lectura — Que el Padre de la gloria del Espíritu de sabiduría y revelación (Efesios 1:17-23) o Heb 9:24-28; 10:19-23. Evangelio — Los discípulos fueron testigos de todos los sucesos de la vida de Cristo. (Lucas 24:46-53).

FAREWELL BLESSING In the Hebrew scriptures the “farewell blessing” is a fairly common way to end the story of the lives of the great figures in Israel’s faith. The farewell blessings of Jacob, Moses, and David are particularly notable. At the end of Luke’s Gospel, we have a “farewell blessing” by Jesus; it is the only time that Jesus is described as giving a blessing to his disciples. Jesus’ farewell, of course, is different. Unlike Jacob, Moses, and David, who gave this blessing at the time of their deaths, Jesus bestows his blessing as he prepares to enter into new and glorious life seated at the right hand of God in heaven. His blessing, like that of his predecessors, is meant to give them strength and courage. But it also has another purpose: it prepares them to be sent out on mission. In this way, it is a precursor to the dismissal blessing we receive at the end of every Mass. Yes, the grace of God’s blessing strengthens us, but it is also a dynamic force that sends us out on a mission to continue the life and the work of the Risen Christ. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Jesus tells the disciples that they will be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:1-11). Psalm — God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord (Psalm 47). Second Reading — May the Father of glory give you a Spirit of wisdom and revelation (Ephesians 1:17-23) or Heb 9:24-28; 10:19-23. Gospel — The disciples, witnesses to all the events of Christ’s life, were blessed by him as he parted from them and was taken up to heaven (Luke 24:46-53).

LATE NIGHT LECTURE: An elderly man driving erratically was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked where he was going at that time of night. The man replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late." The officer then asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?"

The man replied, "That would be my wife."
