21ST SUNDAY IN ODINARY TIME A Hard Saying, but… (Readings: Joshua 24:1-18; Ephesians 5:21-32; John 6:60-69)

After Jesus insisted that his flesh was food and his blood was drink, many of his disciples (note: not his enemies) said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” A little further on, the Gospel

text tells us that they “no longer accompanied him.” Many are the demands of our faith. Some we respond to easily, even spontaneously. We can be like Joshua, stating forthrightly, “As for

me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Other demands go against the grain. The Gospel, indeed the whole of Scripture, for all its beauty, is also a challenge. It should not

surprise us, then, that Mary at La Salette, although we know her as the “Beautiful Lady,” has, in her “great news,” some hard sayings. Like the prophets, even as she consoles her people and offers them hope, she confronts them about their religious neglect, their blaming God for their blighted crops. She says, “If the

harvest is ruined, “it is only on account of yourselves.” What a hard saying! Who could accept it? In fact, many did accept it. The impact of the Apparition and Message of Our Lady of La Salette on the local people and

throughout France was one of the signs that convinced the Bishop of Grenoble that the story told by the two children was true. The greatest challenge in Mary’s message comes right at the beginning: “If my people

refuse to submit.” Submission does not come easily to most adults. Teens, too, typically devote a lot of energy to breaking away from the submission they accepted as natural in their childhood. One might argue that Mary

could have chosen a better word. But if she had softened the expression, would she have gotten our attention? If Mary had avoided hard sayings, the promises she made and the hope she offered would not have

stood out as they do, like a jeweled brooch on dark fabric or like a rainbow against a stormy sky. Christian hope comes, in a sense, at a price. But for those who truly submit to God’s will, to his love, the benefits far

outweigh the cost.

In today’s Gospel, we hear that a number of Jesus’ followers

le him because his message was too difficult for them to

accept. In essence, they did not believe in him. He then asked

the Twelve if they wished to leave as well. Peter responds by

making a profound profession of faith in Jesus as Lord and

Savior. The Twelve made a choice and stood by their choice,

remaining loyal to their commitment to Jesus. A good

ques on for our reflec on might be this: Are we sa sfied with

the stewardship we exercise over our bap smal commitment?

Are we just “along for the ride?” Are we truly keeping Christ in

front of us at all mes during our life?

Frequently Asked Questions About the Mass

OUR PARISH

How does the bread and wine change into the Body and Blood of Christ?

During the Eucharis c prayer, the priest asks God to send the Holy Spirit and transform

the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. This is called transubstan a on.

It is the conversion of the substance of the Eucharis c elements into the Body and Blood

of Christ at Consecra on, with only the appearances of bread and wine s ll remaining.

Reflexion…. Una manera de hablar muy dura, pero… (Josué 24:1-18; Efesios 5:21-32; Juan 6:60-69) Después de que Jesús reafirmara de que su carne es comida y su sangre es bebida, muchos de sus discípulos (nota: no sus enemigos) dijeron, “Es una manera de hablar muy dura; ¿quién puede aceptarla?” un poco después, el texto evangélico nos dice que ellos “ya no andaban en su compañía” Nuestra fe nos exige muchas cosas. Algunas son fáciles de responder, aun de manera espontánea. Podemos ser co-mo Josué, afirmando enfáticamente; “En cuanto a mí y a mi casa, nosotros serviremos al Señor! Otras exigencias van a contracorriente. El Evangelio, de hecho todas las Escrituras, con toda su belleza, es también un desafío. No debiera sorprendernos entonces que María en La Salette, aunque la conozcamos como la “Bella Señora”, tenga en su “gran noticia” algunas palabras muy duras. Como los profetas, aun consolando a su pueblo y ofreciéndoles esperan-za, ella les confronta con respecto a sus negligencia religiosa, su culpar a Dios por las cosechas arruinadas. Ella dice, “Si la cosecha se arruina, es solamente por culpa de ustedes” ¡Qué manera de hablar tan dura! ¿Quién podría aceptar-lo? De hecho, muchos lo aceptaron. El impacto de la Aparición y del Mensaje de Nuestra Señora de La Salette en la gente del lugar y por toda Francia fue uno de los signos que convenció al Obispo de Grenoble para afirmar que la historia relatada por los dos niños era verdadera. El desafío más grande en el mensaje de María, está justo al comienzo: “Si mi pueblo no quiere someterse”. La sumisión no es fácil para la mayoría de los adultos. Los adolescentes, también, típicamente dedican mucha de su ener-gía para escaparse del sometimiento que aceptaban como natural cuando eran niños. Uno podría discutir que si María hubiera elegido mejores palabras. Pero si ella hubiese sido más suave en su ex-presión, ¿hubiera llamado nuestra atención? Si María hubiera evitado esas expresiones fuertes, las promesas que hizo y la esperanza que ofreció no hubieran destacado tanto como lo han hecho, como un prendedor de joyas sobre una tela negra o como un arcoíris sobre un cielo tormentoso. La esperanza cristiana llega, en un sentido, con un costo. Pero para aquellos que se someten verdaderamente a la voluntad de Dios y a su amor, los beneficios sobrepasan con mucho el costo.
