PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL
Today we celebrate one of the tenets of our creed: that the
Lord ascended into heaven. From Mark’s Gospel we hear the final
words Jesus spoke to his disciples shortly before he ascended into
heaven. Those were words of commissioning, no less real for us
today than they were to the disciples then. We are called to
“proclaim the gospel to every creature.” For the vast majority of
us, this means that we proclaim the gospel by the witness of our
everyday lives. Treating others with dignity and respect, providing
for those less fortunate than ourselves, being good stewards of the
many gifts showered on us, coming together as God’s family in
worship and praise—these are all signs that the gospel has taken
root in our lives. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PROCLAMA EL EVANGELIO
Hoy celebramos uno de los dogmas de nuestro Credo:
que el Señor ascendió a los cielos. Del Evangelio de san
Marcos escuchamos las últimas palabras que Jesús les
dirigió a sus discípulos momentos antes de ascender a los
cielos. Fueron palabras con un encargo, no menos real para
nosotros que para los discípulos de entonces. Jesús nos
encarga: “Vayan por todo el mundo y prediquen el
Evangelio a toda criatura”. Para la gran mayoría de
nosotros, esto significa que proclamamos el Evangelio con
el testimonio de nuestra vida diaria. Cuando tratamos a
otros con dignidad y respeto, ayudamos a los menos
afortunados que nosotros, actuamos corresponsablemente
con los muchos dones que hemos recibido, y nos reunimos
como familia de Dios para adorar y alabar al Padre –todas
estas son señales de que el Evangelio ha echado raíces en
nuestras vidas. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY Cuando tan a menudo el Evangelio dice la frase “Jesús le dijo a sus discípulos”, nos suena más
bien como una hermosa referencia histórica y hasta pudiéramos pensar que ésa es una frase
estática que permanece como en un vacío. Pero, ¿por qué no reactivar nuestros oídos al
escuchar esta frase? En vez de escuchar “Jesús dijo a sus discípulos”, ¿por qué no oír mejor
“Jesús me dijo a mí, en este momento y ahora mismo”? Éste es un buen ejercicio en este día en
que recordamos la Ascensión de Cristo al cielo, pues sus palabras a sus discípulos –y a nosotros
– nos llaman hoy a continuar nuestra entrega para compartir la buena nueva de la salvación,
esto es de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo, con un mundo hambriento de esperanza y de vida
nueva. Traducido de Saint Margaret Sunday Missal derechos de autor © J. S. Paluch Company

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Después de los eventos del Viernes Santo los
discípulos se encerraron en el Cenáculo porque tenían
mucho miedo. Estaban precisamente ahí, donde habían
celebrado la Última Cena con Jesús. Según los relatos que
nos presentan los evangelios, Jesús se les aparecería en
ese mismo lugar. De hecho, cuarenta días después de su
muerte, Jesús ascendió al cielo. Luego de que Jesús
ascendiera al cielo, los discípulos se quedaron atónitos
viendo hacia arriba. El famoso “Himno a la alegría” nos
invita a ver “más allá de las estrellas”. Sin embargo, los
ángeles le dicen a los seguidores de Cristo que dejen de
ver las nubes y se pongan a trabajar (Hechos 1:11).
Al regresar a su Padre, Jesucristo envió su Espíritu
sobre la comunidad cristiana primitiva haciéndolos
testigos de su resurrección. De esta manera dieron inicio a
la canción que dice: “Que esperan un nuevo día”, y
esperando van cantado el mensaje de aquel que estando en
el cielo puede vivir en el corazón de los que le aman. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
