The promise Jesus made to his disciples the night before he died is the promise he extends to us. When we are baptized, we are baptized in the Trinity, and like the Trinity we are united in community.

The promise Jesus made to his disciples the night before he died is the promise he extends to us. When we are baptized, we are baptized in the Trinity, and like the Trinity we are united in community.

La promesa de Jesús a sus discípulos la noche antes de morir es la promesa que nos extiende a nosotros. Cuando somos bautizados, somos bautizados en la Trinidad y, al igual que la Trinidad, estamos unidos en comunidad.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
-John 3:16

Tanto amó Dios al mundo, que le entregó a su Hijo único, para que todo el que crea en él no perezca, sino que tenga vida eterna. —Juan 3:16 (Leccionario USCCB)

So too with us. Christ calls us to proclaim the good news of his resurrection, however imperfectly we may do so, knowing that at times in our bumpy, uncertain lives, our faith may feel like soul-jolting potholes of unbelief — and yet, and yet, Christ calls us, anyway.

Lo mismo ocurre con nosotros. Cristo nos llama a proclamar la Buena Nueva de su resurrección —por imperfectamente que lo hagamos—, sabiendo que, en ocasiones, en el camino rugoso e incierto de nuestras vidas, nuestra fe puede sentirse como baches de incredulidad que sacuden el alma; y, sin embargo —sí, a pesar de todo—, Cristo nos llama de todos modos.

Allí, en la fracción del pan, Cristo nos otorga la gracia para que nuestras obras estén en consonancia con aquello que profesamos creer.

There, in the breaking of the bread, Christ gives us the grace to make our works match what we profess to believe.

The story of the royal official is our story. When we received ashes on our foreheads at the beginning of Lent, we heard the words, “Repent and believe in the gospel.”

La historia del funcionario real es nuestra historia. Cuando recibimos ceniza en la frente al comienzo de la Cuaresma, escuchamos las palabras: «Conviértete y cree en el Evangelio».
