WATCHING FOR THE MESSIAH
Today’s Gospel story of John and his disciples seeing
and following Jesus sounds so simple and casual, it’s easy
to miss the significant acts of faith that are made.
John points to Jesus: “Look,” he says, “there is the
Lamb of God.” John’s faith in Jesus is evident, so evident
that John’s disciples immediately leave his side to follow
this Jesus. The two disciples make their own act of faith.
They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are quick to
spread the good news of their discovery: “We have found
the Messiah.”
It is easy to forget that the expectations of
generations, the hopes of many ages of faithful people
were being fulfilled in these simple acts of faith. The
Lamb of God, the Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had
finally come. Nearly everyone among the Jewish people
was watching for the Messiah back then; who in our own
society watches for signs of the presence of the Messiah
today? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Prayer and Life Workshop
The community of St. Paul’s Church is invited to
participate in a Prayer and Life Workshop. This is a 15week program that helps you learn and grow in the art of
prayer, in this workshop we learn to enter into a personal
relationship with the Lord through different prayer
methods. By means of a woven pattern of meditations on
the Word, intensive prayer, community reflection and
silencing exercises, the participants of the workshop learn
to overcome, step by step, their inner anguishes and
anxieties, fears and sadness and slowly become filled
with a peace never before imagined.

EN BÚSQUEDA DEL MESÍAS
El relato del Evangelio de
hoy en el que Juan y
sus discípulos ven y
siguen a Jesús, suena
tan sencillo e
informal, que
fácilmente pasan
desapercibidos los
importantes actos de
fe que ocurren. Juan
señala a Jesús: “Miren”, les dice,
“este es el Cordero de Dios”. La fe
de Juan en Jesús es evidente, tan
evidente que los discípulos de Juan
inmediatamente se van de su lado y
siguen a Jesús. Los dos discípulos a
su vez hacen un acto de fe. Ellos
siguen a Jesús, pasan tiempo con él,
y no demoran en compartir la buena
nueva de su descubrimiento: “Hemos
encontrado al Mesías”.
Es fácil olvidar que las
expectativas de generaciones, las
esperanzas de muchos siglos de fieles
se estaban cumpliendo en estos
sencillos actos de fe. El Cordero de
Dios, el Mesías, anunciado por los
profetas, finalmente había llegado.
Prácticamente todo el mundo en el
pueblo judío estaba a la búsqueda del
Mesías en esa época; ¿quién de
nuestra sociedad busca señales de la
presencia del Mesías hoy día?
