A Reflection by Deacon Paul: Un Relación de Pacto A Covenant Relationship In our readings this weekend we learn that God created a covenant relationship with His people through Moses. Moses then had several animals sacrificed and their blood sprinkled on the people as a sign of agreement with the covenant. A covenant is an agreement between two parities. In the covenant established with Moses God promised to watch over His people, the Hebrew nation, and the Hebrews pledged to be faithful to God. In the New Testament Jesus came to renew the covenant and sacrificed himself offering His body and His blood as a sign of that new covenant. At the Last Supper he gave us the bread and the wine to become His body and His blood to renew the covenant. Each time we partake of the bread and wine made into the body and blood of Jesus we renew the covenant first made to Moses then made by Jesus to us. When we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus we come into full communion with Jesus and what He taught us during His brief ministry. Each time we receive the body and blood of Jesus we pledge ourselves to respect the covenant and to be faithful to God by following His commandments and He will be faithful to us. The Eucharist is an everlasting expression of God’s presence with us through His Son. En nuestras lecturas de este fin de semana nos enteramos que Dios creó una relación de pacto con su pueblo a través de Moisés. Moisés sacrificaba animales y rociaba su sangre sobre el pueblo como un signo de que estaban de acuerdo con el pacto. Un pacto es un acuerdo entre dos partes. En el pacto establecido con Moisés Dios prometió cuidar de su pueblo, la nación hebrea, y los hebreos se comprometieron a ser fieles a Dios. En el Nuevo Testamento Jesús vino a renovar el pacto y se sacrificó ofreciendo su cuerpo y su sangre como un signo de este nuevo pacto. En la Ultima Cena nos dio el pan y el vino que se convirtieron en su Cuerpo y Sangre y asi renovó el pacto. Cada vez que participamos del pan y del vino que se convierten en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús, renovamos el pacto hecho por primera vez con Moisés y Jesús lo hizo con nosotros. Cuando recibimos el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús llegamos a la plena comunión con Él y lo que nos enseñó durante su breve ministerio. Cada vez que recibimos el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús nos comprometemos a respetar el pacto y ser fieles a Dios siguiendo sus mandamientos y Él será fiel con nosotros. La Eucaristia es la eterna expresión de la presencia de Dios con nosotros a través de Su Hijo.
