Indian\u00e1polis, Indiana, 16 de julio de 2024 \/ 17:50 pm (CNA).<\/p>\n

\u201cEstamos siendo enviados en misi\u00f3n para dar a conocer a Cristo a los dem\u00e1s y ser Cristo para los dem\u00e1s\u201d, dijo a CNA esta semana Christina Wheatley, de Jeffersonville, Indiana, en la v\u00edspera del Congreso Eucar\u00edstico Nacional.<\/p>\n

Wheatley fue una de las primeras peregrinas en llegar a Indian\u00e1polis para el evento de cinco d\u00edas, que comenz\u00f3 el martes con una misa de bienvenida y adoraci\u00f3n eucar\u00edstica en la iglesia cat\u00f3lica de San Juan Evangelista en el centro de Indian\u00e1polis.<\/p>\n

A lo largo del d\u00eda, autom\u00f3viles y camionetas dejaron a grupos de religiosas y peregrinos de todas las edades frente a la iglesia antes del evento culminante del Avivamiento Eucar\u00edstico Nacional, la iniciativa de los obispos de EE. UU. para inspirar la comprensi\u00f3n y el amor por Jes\u00fas en la Eucarist\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de la misa, los peregrinos continuaron llegando a la hist\u00f3rica iglesia, situada frente al Centro de Convenciones de Indiana y el Lucas Oil Stadium, para pasar un tiempo con Jes\u00fas en la Eucarist\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Wheatley, una de los aproximadamente 50,000 peregrinos que se espera asistan al congreso que se lleva a cabo del 17 al 21 de julio, cont\u00f3 a CNA su historia personal sobre c\u00f3mo encontr\u00f3 la sanaci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de la Eucarist\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Como sobreviviente de c\u00e1ncer, Wheatley dijo que estaba ansiosa por conocer a otros asistentes al evento, para compartir c\u00f3mo la Eucarist\u00eda le brind\u00f3 una sanaci\u00f3n real despu\u00e9s de su diagn\u00f3stico; para \u201chablar cara a cara, escuchar su historia y compartir la m\u00eda siempre que sea posible\u201d.<\/p>\n

Durante la pandemia de COVID, Wheatley, quien es ministra extraordinaria de la sagrada Comuni\u00f3n en la iglesia cat\u00f3lica de San Juan Pablo II en Sellersburg, Indiana, dijo a CNA que recibi\u00f3 permiso de su p\u00e1rroco para seguir yendo de casa en casa distribuyendo la Comuni\u00f3n a aquellos que no pod\u00edan asistir a misa.<\/p>\n

Pero entonces recibi\u00f3 la noticia de su m\u00e9dico de que ten\u00eda c\u00e1ncer de colon.<\/p>\n

A pesar de su enfermedad y su sistema inmunol\u00f3gico comprometido, Wheatley continu\u00f3 haciendo sus rondas, visitando los hogares de sus compa\u00f1eros feligreses para permitirles recibir la Comuni\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u201cPens\u00e9: \u2018\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 no?\u2019\u201d, dijo. \u201cQuer\u00eda ser Cristo para alguien que no pod\u00eda estar all\u00ed en misa\u201d.<\/p>\n

Recibir la Eucarist\u00eda durante su tratamiento, dijo, le trajo sanaci\u00f3n. \u201cEs algo que tienes que experimentar para entenderlo\u201d. <\/p>\n

Y entonces, a pesar de un mal pron\u00f3stico, a Wheatley le hicieron tomograf\u00edas computarizadas. Tres d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de su cirug\u00eda para extirpar un tumor en su colon, dijo, el pat\u00f3logo le comunic\u00f3 que ten\u00eda algunas \u201cbuenas noticias\u201d que uno \u201cno escucha muy a menudo\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo hay se\u00f1ales de c\u00e1ncer\u201d, dijo \u00e9l. <\/p>\n

Y aunque las tomograf\u00edas inicialmente mostraron que el c\u00e1ncer se hab\u00eda extendido a sus pulmones, pruebas posteriores mostraron que lo que fuera que tuviera en los pulmones no hab\u00eda crecido. El radi\u00f3logo, dijo Wheatley, le dijo: \u201cAs\u00ed que vamos a llamarlas cicatrices\u201d.<\/p>\n

Wheatley dijo que est\u00e1 en Indian\u00e1polis para compartir lo que significa para ella recibir la Eucarist\u00eda. <\/p>\n

\u201cObtuve mi fuerza y coraje para superar mi c\u00e1ncer\u201d, dijo.<\/p>\n
