Grace is everywhere

Grace is everywhere. People of faith act on this belief. As Christians we are called to reach deeply into ourselves and find God’s presence there. We are called to reach outside ourselves and find God there, too.

The reality of grace has sustained and nourished people beyond numbering. The church never tires of telling the story of the loaves and fishes. It is narrated no less than six times in the four Gospels. We imagine the hesitant apostles reaching into the baskets and finding bread, always more bread. We anticipate the ending. The apostles will wear out before the bread runs out.

At another time and place, Isaiah also spoke of an abundance, this time of water, sweet honey, and rich milk. Always, always God is a gift-giver, and we the receivers. Our response is doxology, or praise. In the second reading Paul provides the words and attitude. Praise is everywhere.

All you who are thirsty, come to the water! Isaiah 55:1a

La Gracia está en todas partes

La gracia está en todas partes. La gente de fe actúa según esa creencia. Los cristianos estamos llamados a buscar dentro de lo más profundo de nuestro ser para encontrar la presencia de Dios allí. Estamos llamados también a buscar afuera de nosotros para encontrarlo allí también.

La realidad de la gracia ha sostenido y alimentado a la gente por encima de todo. La Iglesia nunca se cansa de contar la historia de los panes y los pescados. Se cuenta seis veces en los cuatro evangelios. Nos podemos imaginar a los dudosos Apóstoles metiendo la mano en las canastas y encontrando pan y más pan. Anticipamos el final. Los Apóstoles se cansaron antes de que se acabara el pan.

En otro tiempo y lugar, Isaías también habló de una abundancia, esta vez de agua, miel y rica leche. Dios siempre es un dador de dones y nosotros los beneficiarios. Nuestra respuesta es la doxología o alabanza. En la segunda lectura Pablo proporciona las palabras y la actitud. La alabanza está en todas partes.
