Este evento requiere la participación de cada familia. Si deciden participar van a decorar la cajuela de su vehículo con detalles e información sobre el santo de su

El itinerario de Jesús sigue y sigue preparando a sus discípulos para los
eventos futuros. Sin embargo, ellos tienen aún una forma muy diferente
de pensamiento de lo que Jesús quiere de ellos. Hasta el grado de que
Santiago y Juan piden los primeros puestos cuando Jesús llegue a su
reino. ¡Que muchachos tan listos! Antes que nadie se les adelante ellos
preguntan. La respuesta de Jesús ante tal petición es la siguiente:
“¿Pueden beber la copa que yo estoy bebiendo o ser bautizados como
yo soy bautizado?” (Mateo 10:38). A razón de
esta pregunta, Jesús les vuelve a repetir que él no
camina hacia el triunfo sino a hacia la muerte.
Pero, ellos seguían sin comprender tan
importante mensaje.
Señor, ten misericordia de nosotros y de nuestras
pretensiones de poder, de dinero y de triunfo. Es lógico que todos
queramos los primeros puestos, erróneamente en muchas ocasiones, y
por eso luchamos en esta vida, sin importar a quien aplastamos o
dejamos atrás. Por esa razón, Jesús explica por qué ha venido al
mundo. “Sepan que el Hijo del Hombre no ha venido para ser servido,
sino para servir y dar su vida como rescate por una
muchedumbre” (Marcos 10:45). ¿Crees tú que ahora sí se comprende
el mensaje? ¿Crees que con todo lo que se ha vivido durante la
pandemia, aun se busquen los primeros puestos? Pidamos, al Señor,
que se aparte de nuestro diario vivir la envidia, el egoísmo, el odio y el
racismo. Que al participar en la Eucaristía nos demos cuenta que todos
somos iguales y que todos ocuparemos un puesto importante en su
Reino. Created by CDA
