From Fr. Davy’s Desk:
People don’t want to be arrested by police and taken
to the prison, why? Though inmates in a prison
get enough to eat and drink they don’t enjoy freedom. The hunger of the human spirit goes beyond
body and food for the soul. Both are necessary.
the hunger for food and drink. We need food for the
Jesus gives priority to spiritual food. That is why he says in Matthew 4:4 "One does not live by bread
alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." When he multiplied bread he showed
people a sign pointing to the higher spiritual food.
We see the crowd in the gospel running for more bread. They want to make him king, a king who fills
the human stomach with bread. Jesus tells them: "Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not
because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that
perishes,
but for the food that endures for eternal life" (John 6:26-27). Jesus did not want to be iden.
tified primarily with feeding stomachs. He has come to nourish the human spirit with the food.
When we seek only physical comfort then we will never be satisfied. The people of Israel kept complaining throughout their journey. They were not patient to wait for the sumptuous food in the Promised Land. Let us ask ourselves this week: “Did I grumble during last week? Am I satisfied with what
I have? Am I giving preference in my life to spiritual food that lasts forever?
Fr. Kavungal Davy, CMI
Mensaje del Padre Davy:
La gente no quiere ser arrestado por la policía y llevado a la cárcel, ¿por qué? Aunque los reclusos
en una prisión lo suficiente para comer y beber no gozan libertad. El hambre del espíritu humano va
más allá del hambre de comida y bebida. Necesitamos alimento para el cuerpo y el alimento para el
alma. Ambos son necesarios. Jesús da prioridad a la alimentación espiritual. Es por eso él dice en
Mateo 4: 4 "El hombre no vive sólo de pan, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios."
Cuando se multiplica el pan que mostró a la gente una señal que apunta a la comida espiritual superior.
Vemos a la multitud en el evangelio corriendo por más pan. Quieren hacerle rey, un rey que llena el
estómago humano con pan. Jesús les dice: "En verdad les digo que me buscáis, no porque habéis
visto las señales, sino porque habéis comido de los panes, no por el alimento que perece, sino por
el alimento que perdura para la vida eterna" (Juan 6: 26-27). Jesús no quiso ser identificado principalmente con la alimentación de estómagos. Él ha venido a nutrir humano con la comida espiritual.
Cuando buscamos único consuelo físico entonces nunca estaremos satisfechos. El pueblo de Israel
no dejaba de quejarse durante todo el viaje. No eran pacientes para esperar por la comida suntuosa
en la Tierra Prometida. Preguntémonos esta semana: "¿Me quejo durante la semana pasada?
¿Estoy satisfecho con lo que tengo? ¿Estoy dando preferencia en mi vida que el alimento espiritual
que dura para siempre?
