No matter how much of a “poker face” the player maintains, there will be something---a lowering of the eyes, a slight smirk, a twitch of an eyebrow---that tele- graphs oh boy, have I got a great hand. The Catholic Church has a “tell,” and we don’t even try to hide it. We will talk about the Eucharist every single chance we get. We love it, we need it, we celebrate it every single day of the year. (Well, we were SUPPOSED to fast from the Eucharist on Good Friday, but that didn’t last too long before the rites included bringing the reserved Eucharist from Holy Thursday to believers for reception.) Catholics simply will not be without the Eucharist, even when there is no Mass, as on Good Friday. I love the way Fr. Terrance Klein explained the reception of Communion on that day. When speaking of the ONE DAY that is the GREAT THREE DAYS of the Easter Triduum, he said: We pause in time. Christ does not. Christ carries all of time within himself. Enter Mark’s gospel. At sixteen chapters, it’s by far the shortest of the four gospels. Sure, there could have been enough to lovingly linger over through the 34 weeks of Ordinary Time, but hey! Here’s an idea! When we cycle into Mark’s (short) gospel every three years, let’s break in for a five-week reflection on the EUCHARIST in the summer! What a good idea! So we now segue over to John’s gorgeous Bread of Life discourse for the next five weeks. Why? Because boy have we got a good hand. Do you know where your First Communion picture is?

Decimoséptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario La Iglesia Católica tiene un “decir”. Ese es un término de juego que significa un punto dé- bil, algo que delata. No importa qué tan “cara de póquer” mantenga el jugador, habrá algo - -- una mirada, un movimiento de los ojos, una leve sonrisa, un movimiento de una ceja --- que delata que tienen una buena jugada. La Iglesia Católica tiene un “decir” y ni siquiera tratamos de ocultarlo. Hablamos de la Eu- caristía en cada oportunidad que tenemos. Nos encanta, lo necesitamos, lo celebramos to- dos los días del año. (Bueno, se suponía que debíamos ayunar de la Eucaristía el Viernes Santo, pero eso no duró mucho antes de que los ritos incluyan llevar la Eucaristía reservada del Jueves Santo a los creyentes para que la reciban). Los católicos simplemente no pueden estar sin la Eucaristía, incluso cuando no hay misa, como el Vier- nes Santo. Me encanta la forma en que el Párroco Terrace Klein explicó la recepción de la Comunión ese día. Al hablar del SOLO DÍA que es los TRES GRANDES DÍAS del Triduo Pascual, dijo: Hacemos una pausa en el tiempo. Cristo no lo hace. Cristo lleva todo el tiempo dentro de sí mismo. Hablemos del evangelio de Marcos. Con solo dieciséis capítulos, es el más corto de los cuatro evange- lios. Claro, podríamos demorarnos las 34 semanas del Tiempo Ordinario para leerlo amorosamente, pero ¡oye! ¡Aquí tienes una idea! Cuando volvamos al ciclo del (breve) evangelio de Marcos cada tres años, ¡hagamos un paréntesis de cinco semanas para reflexionar sobre la EUCARISTÍA en el verano! ¡Qué buena idea! Así que ahora pasamos al magnífico discurso del pan de vida de Jun durante las próxi- mas cinco semanas. ¿Por qué? Porque, vaya que tenemos una buena jugada. ¿Sabes dónde está tu foto de Primera Comunión? Este es un buen mes para mostrarlo.
