Holy Gospel. Tuesday January 21 1 Samuel 16 : 1-13 David was anointed king of Israel before his brethren and the spirit of the Lord was with him . In those days, the Lord said to Samuel : How long are you going to be sad for Saul I already rejected and he will reign over Israel Go to the house of Jesse in Bethlehem because of his sons have me ? . chosen a king. Llena, then your horn with oil and go to anoint him . But Samuel replied : How can I go if Saul finds out, hell kill me ? . The Lord replied, Take a heifer with you and say, I have come to sacrifice to the Lord Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you have to do then I anoint you specify. . . Samuel did what the Lord had said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the city came to meet him fearful and asked, Do you come in peace ? I replied : Yes I come to sacrifice to the Lord Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice. . Then purified Jesse and his sons and also invited the sacrifice. When it came to him , seeing Eliab , the eldest son of Jesse, Samuel thought, This is certainly going to anoint you as king. But the Lord said to him, Do not consider his appearance or his great stature , for I have rejected , because I do not judge as man judges man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the . hearts. Then his son Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel , who said, Neither has the LORD chosen the Lord. Jesse passed Shammah , but Samuel said, This one has not chosen the Lord. So Samuel went by before seven of the sons of Jesse , but Samuel said, None of these are the chosen of the Lord . Then he asked Jesse , Are these all the sons you will ? He replied, the smallest foul , which is tending the sheep . Samuel said, Make him come, because not sit down to eat until he arrives . And Jesse sent for him . The boy was blond, bright eyes and good looks . Then the Lord said to Samuel, Arise, anoint him , for this is . Samuel took the horn with oil and anointed him in front of his brothers. From that day , the spirit of the Lord was with David . Samuel said goodbye and went to Ramah . Psalm 88 R / . I have found David , my servant . Speaking in you view your friends one day told them : I have chosen to brave my people and I have adhered to his temples crown R / . . I have found David my servant , with my holy oil I have anointed him . I hold my hand and give my arm strength. R / . He would say to me, You are my father , the God who protects me and saves me . And I will name my firstborn over all the kings of the earth R . / . San Marcos 2 , 23-28 The Sabbath was made for man , not man for the Sabbath. One Sabbath Jesus was walking through the fields, and his disciples began to pluck heads of grain passing. The Pharisees asked, Why do your disciples something that is not lawful on the Sabbath ? He replied : Do not have anything read what David did when he had need and suffering from hunger he and his companions entered the house of God, in the days of Abiathar the high priest , ate the sacred bread , which could only Spot the priests , and also gave some to his companions . Then Jesus said : On Saturday the man for the Sabbath was made for man, not the Son of man and also of the sabbath . . REFLECTION Very good morning . Best wishes to have a happy week in the company of Jesus. Today s first reading speaks of the anointing of David as King of God. In the previous chapter tells us that God rejected Saul as king , for his disobedience . Therefore, God sent the prophet Samuel , a tribe of Jesse, where will the next king of Israel. It is worth noting the choice God will do for your server , which tells Samuel , it is fixed in appearance , because he sees the appearance , ie neither good looks, nor height, nor fine manners . Remembering when , chose Saul says the first reading last Saturday : Saul , was a fine young lad , it was the highest Israelite protruded above all , above the shoulders ( cf. Samuel 9, 2 ) . And this was the king that the people asked Samuel , like the world , we talked about at the time in this regard. Today we see how God chooses its servers. Samuel asked Jesse, do not have more children, you answered me he is one the youngest , who was tending the sheep. The Lord is always fixed in humility , simplicity or as we say here in the smaller as a mustard seed , which is like the head of a pin, but when a large tree will grow to much will shelter and protect . This is the anointed, this will be the greatest of all the kings of Israel , who alone could rule all the tribes of Israel. Todays Gospel continues to speak to us to continue to keep stalking Pharisees about the Lord Jesus. This time the reason is the same as yesterday , legalism on the Sabbath , which we know at the time they had entered Judaism 39 violations. In fact it was done by the disciples of the Lord , the gospel says that crossed through a field , the disciples plucked the ears , was not prohibited by Deuteronomy , which says: If you go through the corn of thy neighbor , will catch pin with your hand , but you shall put the sickle to the harvest of your next ( cf. Deuteronomy 23, 26 ) . However, in the book of the Jewish rabbinical tradition ( Mishnah ) if it violates a 7, 2. Jesus will answer them with what King David did when he and his men were hungry. And it is coming to the city of Nob , meeting the priest Ahimelech bread or asks what you have . Ahimelech , will respond that has unconsecrated bread only has consecrated bread , which only the priest could eat, but he will not eat it for David and his men ( cf. 1 Samuel 21 , 1-5 ), but apart from that there was already a precedent that could eat even a consecrated man needs bread . What actually the Lord wants them to see is that no law can be above or be worth more than a human life. For this reason it is that eventually the Lord will say to them, The sabbath was made for man , not man for the Sabbath If we read the Ten Commandments in the book of Exodus 20 , 8-11, here the precept appears God , whose purpose is for the good of man , not to enslave . This day is to give glory and sanctify the name of God , but also as we said a day of rest for man . The root of the rest of the day is the creation of the universe, when God created the seventh day what Genesis says break ( cf. Genesis 2 , 2-3 ) . The purpose of rest actually was distorted as stated by Judaism , specifically what we read in the book of Nehemiah 13 , 15-22, any action performed on the Sabbath was condemned , man could practically do nothing. The situation of exile living in Babylon at the time , blamed for the desecration of the Sabbath , not the real reason for their woes , their separate living God , not to obey, and not to listen to his word , and worship Baals or other idols. The Sabbath was made by God for mans good and not for condemnation or slavery. Therefore the Lord s rebuke, and ends by saying, The Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath. Because the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath ? Jesus is the Son of God, as St. Paul says : He is the image of the invisible God , the firstborn of all creation , for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible , thrones , powers, dominions , principalities and powers . Everything was created through him and for him ( cf. Col 1: 15-16). Everything belongs to the Lord , because he was created everything, but the big Buff-throated that there was faith, believed that Jesus was the Son of God, because according to his vision did not meet the requirements that they had established and therefore rejected it . They had erected gods, and God was not God, for as the serpent said to Eve , when he ate the forbidden fruit, shall be as gods . And we believe and do not believe , or we also believe we are gods or simply meek and docile to his word and his will. BELOVED LORD JESUS MAKES YOUR GRACE , BY THE HOLY SPIRIT , THAT THE WISDOM TO KNOW YOUR WORD AND YOUR discern TRUTH. And THAT FORCE AND VALUE FOR TRUE TO YOUR WILL SERTE AND NOT OURS . WE ACCEPT THE DOCILITY YOUR WORD , AND NOT BE ARROGANT AND WE ARE GODS believe us OWNERS OF TRUTH . WE ASK THAT WE sanctify BLESS AND YOUR TRUTH. AMEN .
