My brethren, the theme for today is this:
SPEAK ME OF JESUS
It's nice to talk about Jesus
WHO IS JESUS CHRIST?
We wish all our Christian
know a precise answer.
Unfortunately not so.
For years, there was a poll among our people.
The question was this:
'Jesus is God made man? ".
Only 74% said yes!
Today, perhaps, unfortunately, even less!
To learn well the answer to this question,
fundamental to our Christian faith,
and so fall in love with Jesus,
so we like to be at length with him in prayer
and made it known to those who do not yet know
and how many people do not yet know!,
8 people to ask who is Jesus?
Let us hear your answers in faith!
For example ask the Prophet Isaiah. He answers:
"Behold, a *** shall conceive and give birth to a son:
Emmanuel, God with us.
Yes, Jesus is with us live in the Eucharist,
living in the Church, in virtue of sanctifying grace,
Group gathered in His name.
Ask John the Baptist, this Friend of the Bridegroom.
He replies:
"Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."
In response, John the Baptist in a single reality merges
the image of the 'Servant of the Lord,' the servant of Yahweh,
the Prophet Isaiah who takes away the sin of man
and who offers himself as a 'scapegoat'.
Jesus, our Divine Friend,
Innocent is the Lamb who redeems and saves us by His Blood.
What gratitude we have for Him!
No one else could save us!
Ask the Eternal Father, and He will answer:
"Thou art my beloved Son Jesus, in Thee I have put my amazement."
So Jesus is the Father's beloved Son,
is the Second Person of the Trinity;
God is God is Light from Light, true God is God's True!
How wonderful! The Son of God came to us
and gives us His friendship and calls us into his intimacy.
Let us ask the *** Mary:
She says that Jesus was among the Doctors of the Temple:
"Behold, your father and I anxiously looking for you."
So Jesus is the Son of Mary: that is,
He assumed our human nature;
made himself our brother, has a human heart like our own!
So sintamo it close to us,
solidarity with us in everything except sin.
Sensibilíssimo It is able to understand us because it's true man!
Asked Simon Peter:
and it responds to Jesus:
"Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
So Jesus is the Messiah, is the expected so many centuries ago by the prophets.
Came, came, not only for Israelis, but for all humanity.
He also came to me, come for you too brother! - Thank you, Jesus!
Ask John the Evangelist: He will answer:
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. "
Then our friend Jesus is the Incarnate Word!
What a great source of joy!
Jesus to make us enjoy his friendship, came to dwell among us!
Let us ask the Apostle Paul: And him, with all the firmness of his faith, he says:
"For me to live is Christ.."
He is the head of His Body, the Church! -
How wonderful brothers!
This means that He has made us members of His Mystical Body.
Hence St. Paul draws the consequences that
We should respect our body with the purity and Christian living in fraternal charity.
Finally ask Jesus Christ Himself:
Jesus responds:
- I am the Good Shepherd!
- I am King!
- I am the vine!
- I am meek and humble of heart!
- I am the Light of the world!
- I am the way, truth and life!
The author of the "Imitation of Christ" says:
'"Without the way, do not walk'!
"Without truth, we do not know '!
'No life, no one lives.'!
I am the way you should go!
I am the truth in which you must believe!
I am the life that you should wait! '.
Here is who Jesus is!
O JESUS, DIVINE FRIEND, IS THAT I KNOW YOU,
TO LOVE YOU MORE AND MORE!
Jesus is all in all things. It is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega.
Jesus connects and unifies in himself the divine world and the created world
Jesus is the center of the created world
Jesus is the center of the entire history of past, present and future.
Jesus is the central concern of the world.
The more a society indifferent or hostile,
seeks to remove the religious problem
and to silence the church and about Christ,
the more eyes turn to the Pope!
Jesus is the focus of all true civilization.
Wherever He reigns,
He shall reign with science, art, and charity.
Jesus is the sun, the sun of intelligence.
The more one tries to eclipse the brightness of His light,
the more it sparkles and illuminates.
Pope Paul VI in 1970, in Manila,
Christ preached and said:
"Woe to me if I do not evangelize! I was sent by Christ Himself:
+ Living God is the firstborn of every creature;
He is the master of humanity and its Redeemer,
he was born, died and rose for us;
+ He is the center of history and the world;
+ Is the one who knows us and loves us;
It is ultimately the one who is to come,
and that one day will be our judge, and also, as expected,
will be the eternal fullness of our lives and our happiness ... "
Brothers, now in a II century author wrote:
"We believe in Jesus Christ, true God,
judge the living and the dead. "
Brothers, let us teach our children:
Jesus is the one who is God (the Word of God)
became flesh in the spotless womb of Mary;
conceived by virtue of the Holy Spirit, who suffered,
died and rose for us.
This is the theme that we communicate to our children,
we'll be happy, and your children will be happy too.
Amen.
