we are all Christians for a long time, but perhaps we place ourselves in a position slightly forward of our faith.
The Pastoral Letter of Bishop invites us in this year to focus on verses 33-35 of Luke 24 in which the disciples of Emmaus returned to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven gathered together and the others ... and told what had happened on the road and how they had recognized him. " We too are invited to do the same, that is to announce to others that we met the Risen Christ by our baptism today. In 1 Kings 19.19-20
the prophet Elijah puts his mantle on Elisha. I like to see this action in precisely the act of transmitting the faith. Elijah performs this gesture while Elisha is working with his horse into the ground, the field of daily work: faith can not be transmitted only in the temple or church, but also while performing the daily toil in the ordinariness of the place and time. It is there, in the ordinariness, the place where everyone is called to proclaim the Lord. This we learn from Jesus himself. As Jesus passed on the faith? Of course, in addition to his preaching activities, freeing the humanity of those who had faced. In fact, only humanity is freed and able to welcome God's message. I think just from this truth, you can outline for us the process of reflection and growth for this year pastoral let the Lord free our humanity and our faith will grow! Helping others to free their humanity and faith we proclaim, authentic missionaries. The monthly community catechesis because they grow in the following location: Liberate the mind (thinking and truth) to free the heart (love and gratuity); free eyes (to recognize the presence of God); rid their ears (listening); free words (make sense) ...
I wish everyone a successful year and a good way of liberation of humanity.
