MASS / YEAR OF FAITH Archdiocese of Chicago + Strategic Pastoral Plan YEAR OF SUNDAY MASS / YEAR OF FAITH KNOW THE MASS, ONE WORD AT A TIME Alimentar.En la Misa, recibimos la sagrada Comunión. No tomamos la sagrada Comunión. Cuando nos acercamos escuchamos: El Cuerpo de Cristo, y la hostia es colocada en nuestras manos o en nuestra lengua. Recibimos el Pan de vida. Este gesto es tan importante! Y no estamos inflando el gesto o las palabras. La acción captura una realidad sumamente importante. En la Eucaristía, el Señor alimenta a su pueblo. No tomamos nuestra propia comida; no nos autoalimentamos. Es el Señor quien, en su generoso amor, nos alimenta y sostiene. Quizá nuestros espíritus independientes nos empujen a querer cuidarnos a nosotros mismos, y quizá a tomar el control de nuestra vida entera. La recepción de la sagrada Comunión nos dirige a nuestra verdadera dependencia, a aquél que nos alimente y sostiene: el Señor. Archdiocese of Chicago + Strategic Pastoral Plan YEAR OF SUNDAY MASS / YEAR OF FAITH April 14, rd Sunday of Easter As we hear in the Gospel, the Risen Lord Jesus stays close to us through the ministry of Peter and others who feed the sheep of Jesus. How am I mindful and grateful for the ministry of Word and Sacrament that sustains my life through the ministry of the Church? April 14, er Domingo de Pascua Como escuchamos en el Evangelio, el Señor Jesús Resucitado se queda a nuestro lado a través del ministerio de Pedro y de otros que alimentan el rebaño de Jesús. De qué manera soy consciente y agradecido por el ministerio de la Palabra y por los Sacramentos que sostienen mi vida a través del ministerio de la Iglesia?
