Bad news, yes, with capital letters, is that Jesus is risen . Of all in homilies and commentaries, as well as explaining Evangeliolo go.
The other, other news is that the miracle has not come back ..... only our Blog Parrroquial that for 8 days was dessparecido. As if in the parable of the Good Shepherd, Jesus has brought the lost ... The Parish Blog of St. Garcia Abad.
A is a source of great joy?. I mean the RESURRECTION OF JESUS. ... The other thing is not so important.
Jesus was right
What the followers of Jesus felt when we dare to really believe that God raised Jesus? What do we live as we walk in their footsteps? How do we communicate with him when we experience full of life?
risen Jesus, you were right. It is true what you told us of God. Now we know that is a faithful Father, worthy of confidence. A God who loves us beyond death. We continue to call "Father" with more faith than ever, as you taught us. We know that we do not disappoint.
risen Jesus, you were right. Now we know that God is the friend of life. Now we begin to understand better your passion for a healthier life, just and happy for everyone. Now we understand which valued the health of patients to any rule or religious tradition. Following your steps, we will live life healing and alleviating suffering. Religion will always serve the people.
risen Jesus, you were right. Now we know that God does justice to the innocent victims in the triumph of life over death, good over evil, truth over lies, love over hate. We will continue fighting against evil, lies and hatred. Always seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. We know it's the first thing the Father wants from us.
risen Jesus, you were right. Now we know that God identifies with the crucified, never the perpetrators. We begin to understand why you were always with the mourners and defending both the poor, the hungry and despised. Defend the weak and vulnerable, the abused and neglected by society and religion. Henceforth, we will hear better your call to be compassionate as your heavenly Father. risen Jesus, you were right. Now we begin to understand your words a little more hard and strange. We begin to sense that he who loses his life for you and your gospel, will save them. Now we understand why invite us to follow until the end of each day carrying the cross. We will continue to suffer a bit for you and your gospel, but soon we will share the Father's embrace.
risen Jesus, you were right. Are alive for as long as you do this in our midst when we met two or three in your name. Now we know that we are not alone, that you accompany us as we walk towards the Father. Hear your voice when you read your gospel. We will feed you when you celebrate your dinner. You will be with us until the end of time.
Christ, we know you're alive
1 .- This is our day
"Rejoice our Mother the Church, clothed in light so bright," sings the Easter proclamation. "This is the day that the Lord is our joy and our joy," proclaims the liturgy. Yes, today is our biggest day. Easter is Easter, "Risen Christ, our hope." It reveals the paschal candle flame reminds of the baptismal water, sings the Alleluia us.
Such effusion is required to be in tune with the Day of Resurrection. (Would be a pity if, as sometimes happens, we stay anchored in the Christ suffering of Good Friday). This Easter is the hyperbole of the love of God, and so exaggerate the joy. It was the first day of the week, the first dawn, the first time the sun rose on a Sunday, was the first Sunday of the story. Today is the Day of the Lord, for Christ has risen. The Resurrection of Christ is central to our faith. "If Christ is not risen, we are the most miserable of men," explains Paul. Because Jesus was not devoured by death, our life has an output horizon and hope. Because the man is wondering: What's behind the door of death? Just the emptiness and nothingness? Or will something or someone to wait for us down the road? What about mine who were willing to follow me? And how to explain the pain and suffering of so many innocent people? Questions as legitimate, so human.
2 .- Only the faith of many witnesses
Above the imbalances in the narrative of events, according to the different evangelists, there is a clear reality: Christ, the Crucified One, has risen. Only the testimony of those who believed, only by faith, we believe, what we feel and live.
parade many witnesses. In the first row of women. The disciples abandon Jesus, and while, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome are the faithful witnesses. Always, the same journey of faith will embalm the dead, not the encounter with the Risen. Then comes the shock and fear, before the announcement "You seek the Crucified? Has risen. " While awaiting confirmation of the death of Jesus, I amazed with the news that he is alive. Jesus comes to meet us and says "Go and announce to the brethren." Finally, faith-filled, they go running to tell the apostles ... "But they believed it was a rave!". How happy spiritual path; depression without hope that joy which was so large, needs to communicate. The Resurrection of Jesus is not a miracle, is a mystery. Because it is not resuscitate "back to life like Lazarus. DNR is entering a new life, is to leave time for eternity. In Jesus, Death and Resurrection are two points in the same path: to revive dying, resurrected from the dead. Jesus is "the living."
The good news is that Jesus is resurrected. He is the first for the dying. Those who die in Christ are raised with Christ. In life and in death we belong to God. Let no one doubt. All profess so much happiness.
3 .- Ready to resurrect Joy
Since Christ was resurrected, the name of Christians is joy. "Peca, who on this day (Sunday) is sad" (Didascalia). is true that pain and death flow through all walks of life. But hope is always with us. The joy in pain is the name of peace and comfort, with Jesus, the edges are filed and remove the torn face of suffering.
We are not fanatics, we mourn the death penalty and one of us, but we have the balm of hope. Feeling the risen Jesus, we follow "until death" because know where it ends.
is Sunday and Easter Sunday
always go hand in hand. On this Sunday is a Sunday every Sunday of the year, and is not a light play of words. The Eucharist of "Lord's Day" is the presence among us of the Resurrection. From the time of the apostles in the "first day of the week" met "for the breaking of bread." Who called that provision a loving impulse of the heart is a believer? Also we can say, like Peter, "" ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. " Sunday is to "dress up" for joy, for sport, for the family, for charity. Witnesses
resurrection
Those who have risen with Christ "seek things above", we are called to sow resurrection: we hope in pain, put life in death, we rejoice in the death . If we believe in the Risen Christ, our life is Easter, pass from death to life. "Like the grain of wheat, which, dying, gives a thousand fruits. As the olive branch, who beat the inclement. As the sun was hidden and alive in the dawn, "revives the Christian and his step resurrect things. (In the terrorist attack of 11 M in Madrid, with so much death and pain, raised the best treasures the human heart with kindness, compassion, dedication).
Is this what we mean when we say that we are witnessing the resurrection of the Lord?
Happy Easter
Gospel of John 20:1-9.
the first day of the week, at dawn, when it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed. ran to meet Simon Peter and another disciple whom Jesus loved, and said: "They have taken away the Lord and do not know where they laid him."
Peter and the other disciple went out and went to the tomb.
ran together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived earlier.
Peering into the pit, he saw the burial cloths, but did not enter.
Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered the tomb and saw the burial cloths,
and the shroud that had covered his head, this was not with the burial cloths but rolled up in one place apart.
Then came the other disciple, who had come before the tomb, he also saw and believed.
still had not understood that, according to Scripture, he must rise from the dead.
Word of God.
COMMENT.
The theme is: "Jesus Christ: Children in the Son." focus should be on the second person of the Trinity and then see how we are sons in the Son. As we all know the life of Jesus Christ, the mystery of being man and God, I am going to focus more on the second idea: we are children in the child.
part of the Trinity. In our religion we believe in a God who is not a loner, but they are three: the Father. Son and Holy Spirit. All three live in perfect harmony and coexistence. Each has a mission "ad extra" (not together): The Father made the Creation and attended the People's History of Israel, the Son became flesh and made the redemption of mankind, is best known by all us by the Holy Spirit is the sanctification of the Church. In the Trinity each person is constituted by the relationship with the other two persons: the Father is the origin, the Son of the Father is dependent, the Holy Spirit of Love is the climate in which they relate to the Father and the Son.
other hand, introducing the theme: "Children in the Son", it noted that the highest aspiration of man is happiness, personal fulfillment. This we can only find happiness in God. Notice that the human being is a continual search for happiness, everything he does, albeit confused and do evil to himself, is to seek happiness. Happiness is not in power, in having, at the benefit on the project, the immediate and full satisfaction of the senses, the escape from reality ... Philosophers say (Zubiri) that human beings are constitutively ontologically "Relegated" to God. Can only be happy as you discover that relationship with God and do in your life. So that man will naturally tend to want to discover God is your life, because it is something inherent.
addition, the Christian religion, the natural relationship with God has exalted to a superior relationship by baptism, by which we become children of God, or rather I should say that we become children in Son. This means that if the human being enters into a relationship with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, comes to terms through the Son, now and in eternity. (For example, if the Holy Trinity is playing the run and the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit go around holding hands, man joins the circle, that relationship with God, without which they can move out of his hand, holding on to Jesus Christ.)
Through the sacrament of Baptism makes us children of God, we are immersed - that means baptism - in the bowels of Jesus Christ. Through baptism we are incorporated into Christ. Or with a happy expression, more suggestive, we are grafted into Christ. Hence the expression "sons in the Son." You know that the graft is to introduce a branch or a branch of apple, for example, in a pear tree trunk. So that the trunk of pear communicates his wise the apple industry and is gradually transformed, until the fruit is produced as a mixture of apple and pear. We could say that we are grafted into Christ and Christ is slowly passing us his wise, grace, until he is slowly transforming our human nature and is making us children of God, divine nature, without taking away our nature but fulfill itself.
Thus so that the reality is that a baptism is a new being, new life: a child of God in Jesus Christ. This new reality can be expressed in different images: Christ is the vine and we are the branches. Christ is the center, the "mother" the key, the strain that distributes his grace the branches so they can bear fruit, so that a separate branch of the vine does not bear fruit and dried. Another image is that all the baptized we are the Body of Christ, Christ is the head and we, the Church, are members of His Body. The head is in control of all members. Where the head are also members, where it happens, it happens the body. Another current image that comes to mind is we're plugged into an electrical Christ: Christ transmits electrical power so that we can exercise our function.
In this new being in Christ has various consequences:
1 ª This new be, this new life, is not autonomous, does not work automatically, or developed by itself. This new scent is entitled to a new existence. We are dealing with our freedom to make that new life to flourish. Pope once said that "not all Christians are baptized" by which he noted that not all the baptized belong to their baptismal vocation. There are many who are baptized and did not want to hear about the Church. Today many are living what might be called the "syndrome of separate branch."
2 ª If we are sons in the Son, we are children, God is our Father and we are brothers. It could more familiar. Christ revealed that God is our Father, not for us to be distant and oblivious of us, it is our Father. We are your children, loved dependence, we can not make our life without him. All his children are brothers, called to build universal brotherhood.
3 rd If we are grafted into Christ, Christ is transmitting its grace from the moment of baptism, so we carry within us the divine life as a seed. Within us is growing a life, we as God's pregnant. The Christian life is to become aware of this new life she carries within it and work with God to draw out that life abroad: is done in thought, word and work, to walk to the poor as God, look how God looks at man and the world, we value the events as God does ... (Even the pores tend to ooze to God) to live as we are, children of God.
4 th If we are the Body of Christ for all members of this body circulates the blood, ie solidarity among us in grace, which has its highest expression in a collective salvation. We're going to save as members of the body, together, we will save as components of the same cluster, collectively. Therefore, no personal works for salvation (good deeds, Masses ...) We all together is this boat which is the Church and we must all work together to come to fruition. However, if I must say that if we are saved individually, if we can convict an individual basis.
5 th If we are sons in the Son means also that we have no direct relationship with God, but we only relate to God in Jesus, Jesus. Today, as I said before it is given "separate branch syndrome", that is the syndrome "I confess to God", ie not allowing the mediation in the relationship with God with the myriad dangers that entails. Only through Jesus, through the Church he founded Jesus through the sacraments instituted by Jesus, we can relate to God. Disparaging these mediations would despise the person of Jesus Christ and the mystery of the incarnation.
The centrality of our faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, his life and his message. Is the one that has approached us. Is that it has become like us. In it were created, it were regenerated by baptism, in him we live and move and exist, it will be resurrected, it will be inserted into the bosom of God ...
