It is touching to sense and feel Jesus’ love and care for the people he sees as he ministers throughout the countryside of Judea. “His heart was moved by pity …” the Gospel tells us. As a human Jesus knows God’s love for him — he has experienced that love first through his relationship with Mary and Joseph as he grew up.
He also knows God’s love from his awareness of the kindness of others, and especially from his times of prayer with his beloved Abba. Because his heart was touched, he acted on his feelings and began to teach his newly chosen apostles how to reach out to others.
At this early time in his ministry, he asked these new teachers to reach out to their neighbors in the house of Israel, hoping that these neighbors would reach out to others and perhaps in the future, the message would be spread “to the ends of the Earth” as Jesus directed at the time of his Ascension.
The last thought within this Gospel reading is particularly poignant – “Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.” This is an important teaching that must remain within our awareness in this time in which we live.
We have been given so much from Earth, from our Church and our teachers, and from our family and friends. Jesus asks us as he asked his apostles to give daily without counting the cost.
Action
As we live each day this week, remember to give from our hearts. Give love, give healing, give words of comfort, give food to the food pantries, give support to strangers and immigrants, give from our abundance!
Es conmovedor sentir y sentir el amor y el cuidado de Jesús por las personas que ve mientras ministra en todo el campo de Judea. "Su corazón fue conmovido por la lástima..." nos dice el Evangelio. Como humano, Jesús conoce el amor de Dios por él, ha experimentado ese amor primero a través de su relación con María y José a medida que crecía.
También conoce el amor de Dios por su conciencia de la bondad de los demás, y especialmente por sus momentos de oración con su amado Abba. Debido a que su corazón estaba conmovido, actuó sobre sus sentimientos y comenzó a enseñar a sus apóstoles recién elegidos cómo llegar a los demás.
En este momento temprano en su ministerio, pidió a estos nuevos maestros que se acercaran a sus vecinos en la casa de Israel, con la esperanza de que estos vecinos se acercaran a otros y tal vez en el futuro, el mensaje se difundiría "a los confines de la Tierra" como Jesús dirigió en el momento de su Ascensión.
El último pensamiento dentro de esta lectura del Evangelio es particularmente conmovedor: "Sin costo has recibido; sin costo debes dar". Esta es una enseñanza importante que debe permanecer dentro de nuestra conciencia en este tiempo en el que vivimos.
Hemos recibido mucho de la Tierra, de nuestra Iglesia y de nuestros maestros, y de nuestra familia y amigos. Jesús nos pregunta como pidió a sus apóstoles que dieran diariamente sin contar el costo.
Acción
Mientras vivimos cada día esta semana, recuerda dar desde nuestros corazones. ¡Da amor, sana, da palabras de consuelo, da comida a las despensas de alimentos, da apoyo a extraños e inmigrantes, da desde nuestra abundancia!
