Paul Murphy Maintenance Manager ext. 114 This gospel always transports me to that memorable summer when I did the obligatory ten weeks’ European vacation with some friends. That was the Age of Aquarius, right, when twenty-somethings took off for Europe in droves, wearing Birkenstocks, and carrying enormous backpacks that we cluelessly unloaded on the seats next to us on the train. It’s one particular week in Greece that I especially remember. We had no money, naturally, for a hostel or hotel room, so we slept on the couches of the lobby of an ancient hotel that didn’t bother to lock the doors at night. Every hot, sticky morning, we awoke with the cats of the neighborhood sleeping on our stomachs or backs. We all languidly stretched, licked our lips, and the cats went out in search of milk while the humans searched for coffee. Ah, the sixties (which actually extended well into the seventies). I’ll bet those disciples, sent out with no food, no backpack, and no money, slept in far worse conditions than those. They probably didn’t have to, since they could have taken money for lodging, but it was the very fact that they had no provision that prompted those they visited to care for them. There must have been deep conversations as they all fell asleep together. Can you imagine having one of the actual eyewitnesses to Jesus staying at your house? If they had had their own food, their own extra clothes, their own money for lodging, they wouldn’t have needed their gracious hosts. And the gospel might have never moved out of the Galilee. The Sisters who taught us back in those Sixties carried nothing. I think I get it now. How can you get back to a more simple lifestyle? Kathy McGovern ©2021 www.thestoryandyou.com

Fue en la era de Acuario, creo, cuando los veinteañeros se iban en manadas a Europa, calzando chinelas, y cargando unas enormes mochilas que descuidadamente desempacábamos a lado nuestro en los asientos de los trenes. Hay una semana en particular en Grecia que recuerdo especialmente. No teníamos dinero, naturalmente, para un albergue o una habitación de hotel, así que dormíamos en los sofás del vestíbulo de un hotel antiguo que no se molestaba en cerrar las puertas por la noche. Cada calurosa y pegajosa mañana, nos despertábamos con los gatos del vecindario durmiendo arriba de nuestros estó- magos o nuestras espaldas. Al despertar nos estiramos lánguidamente, nos lamiamos los labios y los gatos salían en busca de leche mientras los humanos buscaban café. Ah, los sesenta (que en realidad se extendieron hasta bien entrados los setenta). Apuesto a que esos discípulos, enviados sin comida, sin mochila y sin dinero, durmieron en condiciones mucho peores que esas. Probablemente no tenían que hacerlo, ya que podrían haber aceptado dinero para el alojamiento, pero fue pre- cisamente el hecho de que no tenían ninguna provisión lo que conmovía a sus anfitriones a atenderlos. Debe haber habido conversaciones muy interesantes antes de acostarse a dormir. ¿Te imaginas como hubiera sido hos- pedar a un testigo actual de Jesús en tu casa? Si hubiesen llevado su propia comida, su propia ropa extra, su propio dinero para pagar alojamiento, no hubiesen necesitado de sus generosos anfitriones. Y el evangelio quizás nunca hubiese salido de Galilea. Las Monjas que nos enseñaban en esos años sesentas no llevaban nada con ellas. Creo que ahora entiendo por qué. ¿Cómo puedes volver a un estilo de vida más simple? Kathy McGovern ©2021 Traducido por Deisy Andrew
