Gospel:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Mt 22,1-14<\/em>
\nTomando Jes\u00fas de nuevo la palabra les habl\u00f3 en par\u00e1bolas, diciendo: “El Reino de los cielos es semejante a un rey que celebr\u00f3 el banquete de bodas de su hijo. Envi\u00f3 sus siervos a llamar a los invitados a la boda, pero no quisieron venir. Envi\u00f3 todav\u00eda otros siervos, con este encargo: Decid a los invitados: ‘Mirad, mi banquete est\u00e1 preparado, se han matado ya mis novillos y animales cebados, y todo est\u00e1 a punto; venid a la boda’. Pero ellos, sin hacer caso, se fueron el uno a su campo, el otro a su negocio; y los dem\u00e1s agarraron a los siervos, los escarnecieron y los mataron. Se enoj\u00f3 el rey y, enviando sus tropas, dio muerte a aquellos homicidas y prendi\u00f3 fuego a su ciudad. Entonces dice a sus siervos: ‘La boda est\u00e1 preparada, pero los invitados no eran dignos. Id, pues, a los cruces de los caminos y, a cuantos encontr\u00e9is, invitadlos a la boda’. Los siervos salieron a los caminos, reunieron a todos los que encontraron, malos y buenos, y la sala de bodas se llen\u00f3 de comensales. Cuando entr\u00f3 el rey a ver a los comensales vio all\u00ed uno que no ten\u00eda traje de boda; le dice: ‘Amigo, \u00bfc\u00f3mo has entrado aqu\u00ed sin traje de boda?’. \u00c9l se qued\u00f3 callado. Entonces el rey dijo a los sirvientes: ‘Atadle de pies y manos, y echadle a las tinieblas de fuera; all\u00ed ser\u00e1 el llanto y el rechinar de dientes’. Porque muchos son llamados, pero pocos los escogidos”.<\/p>\n

Fruit:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Recibir a Cristo Eucarist\u00eda con un coraz\u00f3n contrito y deseoso de amarle sin medida.<\/p>\n

Guidelines for reflection:<\/span><\/strong>
\nUna reflexi\u00f3n muy actual del banquete eucar\u00edstico, donde Cristo se nos presenta diariamente y con la disposici\u00f3n completa de alimentarnos. Pero hay que revisar muy bien en nuestra vida si nos acercamos a comulgar con la disposici\u00f3n adecuada, tal y como la Iglesia nos recomienda.<\/p>\n

1. Los invitados no quisieron venir<\/em>
\nCuando un amigo nos invita a su fiesta o nuestros compa\u00f1eros a una ceremonia especial, si no hay algo importante que lo impida solemos acudir. Sabemos que ah\u00ed podemos pasar un momento agradable. No fue el caso del banquete preparado que nos comenta el Evangelio. Ninguno de los invitados quiso acudir, aun sabiendo que el anfitri\u00f3n era conocido, amigo, hermano. Es algo muy com\u00fan en nuestros d\u00edas: Iglesias vac\u00edas antes de la pandemia (esperemos que no tanto despu\u00e9s de la pandemia), sagrarios abandonados. Dios sigue invitando a su banquete todos los d\u00edas; pero los invitados tienen otras ocupaciones “m\u00e1s importantes” como para asistir a misa, al banquete de los banquetes donde Dios se nos da como alimento. Renovemos nuestra adhesi\u00f3n incondicional a Jesucristo. Acerqu\u00e9monos a la Eucarist\u00eda quien no quita nada y lo da todo. Seamos de los invitados que s\u00ed queremos ir.<\/p>\n

2. El traje de boda<\/em>
\nParticipar en la Eucarist\u00eda es anticipar el cielo. Dios, amor eterno y fiel, pide correspondencia, pide una respuesta libre de nuestra parte. Podr\u00edamos decir que s\u00f3lo nos pone una condici\u00f3n: el traje de boda. \u00bfQu\u00e9 es lo que se requiere para poder recibir la Eucarist\u00eda? Estar en estado de gracia. \u00bfQu\u00e9 implica no tener pecados mortales? Confesarse con frecuencia. La lecci\u00f3n que nos proporciona el Evangelio es elocuente. Primero, al invitado le pregunta por qu\u00e9 est\u00e1 en el banquete sin el traje de boda. Al quedarse callado el invitado, la respuesta del anfitri\u00f3n fue radical: “No puedes participar del banquete”. Ciertamente va m\u00e1s all\u00e1, es una lecci\u00f3n sobre la retribuci\u00f3n eterna. Quien comulga sin las disposiciones necesarias, alimenta su propia condenaci\u00f3n. Vist\u00e1monos adecuadamente para recibir la Eucarist\u00eda, sobre todo, la vestimenta espiritual que consiste en la vida de gracia, para participar dignamente del sagrado banquete.<\/p>\n

3. Pocos son los escogidos<\/em>
\nAlguien podr\u00eda decir: “Dios est\u00e1 excluyendo”, pues pocos son los escogidos. Pero en realidad, Dios no excluye, sino que es uno mismo quien se excluye. Dios tiene la puerta abierta, su coraz\u00f3n est\u00e1 disponible para todos. Llama a muchos, pero pocos son los que responden. Dios quiere que todos respondan a su amor, pero vemos que no es as\u00ed. Quiz\u00e1 somos testigos de c\u00f3mo algunos familiares, amigos o conocidos se alejan de Dios, de la Iglesia. Y casi sabemos c\u00f3mo van a terminar, pues, vemos c\u00f3mo se alejan de aquel que les puede dar la felicidad que nunca fenece, el amor que no se marchita. Y los podemos invitar, hasta suplicar que regresen a la casa paterna, pero nuestros reclamos se ven interrumpidos por un uso, o m\u00e1s bien, un abuso de la libertad de quienes se alejan de Dios. Solo la oraci\u00f3n y el ejemplo constante podr\u00e1n rescatarlos. Y el poder estar presentes cuando necesiten que les tendamos la mano, una vez que se den cuenta del error.<\/p>\n
