When Jesus speaks about eternal life, he is referring to real and true life, a life worthy of being lived. He is not simply speaking about life after death. He is talking about authentic life, a life fully alive and thus not subject to death, yet one which can already, and indeed must, begin in this world. … We have heard Jesus’ answer: this is eternal life, that they may know you – God – and the one whom you have sent, Jesus Christ. Much to our surprise, we are told that life is knowledge. This means first of all that life is relationship. No one has life from himself and only for himself. We have it from others and in a relationship with others. If it is a relationship in truth and love, a giving and receiving, it gives fullness to life and makes it beautiful.

– Pope Benedict XVI, homily, Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper, April 1, 2010

For all who suffer from chronic illness or disease and for those who care for them: that through the healing power of Christ’s body and blood they will be given strength and hope for a full recovery; we pray to the Lord. Amen.

Cuando Jesús habla de la vida eterna, entiende la vida auténtica, verdadera, que merece ser vivida. No se refiere simplemente a la vida que viene después de la muerte. Piensa en el modo auténtico de la vida, una vida que es plenamente vida y por esto no está sometida a la muerte, pero que de hecho puede comenzar ya en este mundo… Hemos escuchado la respuesta de Jesús: Esta es la vida verdadera, que te conozcan a ti, Dios, y a tu enviado, Jesucristo. Para nuestra sorpresa, allí se nos dice que vida es conocimiento. Esto significa, ante todo, que vida es relación. Nadie recibe la vida de sí mismo ni sólo para sí mismo. La recibimos de otro, en la relación con otro. Si es una relación en la verdad y en el amor, un dar y recibir, entonces da plenitud a la vida, la hace bella.

Papa Benedicto XVI, homilía, Santa misa en la Cena del Señor, 1º abril de 2010

Por todos los que sufren enfermedades crónicas y por quienes los cuidan: para que por medio del poder sanador del cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo reciban fortaleza y esperanza para una recuperación total; roguemos al Señor. Amen.
