Father Sean's Weekly Message

May 18, 2025

"At the Last Supper, Jesus tells the Eleven: 'As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. All will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.' The love of Jesus Christ for us is precisely what makes it possible to love like him in turn--he loves us first, and his love changes us. And when we bear his own love for one another, this moves others to believe in Christ, to know that 'God's dwelling is with the human race.' This is how Paul and Barnabas 'made a considerable number of disciples.'" (Magnificat  May 2025, pg. 281) 

 

As I spoke to the Confirmation candidates at practice last week, I asked them to spend some time praying that God would reveal to them, what mission has he created them for. Each of us has been created and loved for a particular mission for God, that only we can do. What is that  mission? Are we responding and living in and through the love God has poured out for us? In Confirmation we were initiated into the Mission of Christ. What is Christ’s Mission for me? Let’s spend some time meditating on that.

“En la Última Cena, Jesús les dice a los Once: ‘Como yo los he amado, así también ustedes deben amarse los unos a los otros. Todos sabrán que son mis discípulos si se aman los unos a los otros.’ El amor de Jesucristo por nosotros es precisamente lo que nos permite amar como él: él nos ama primero, y su amor nos transforma. Y cuando compartimos su amor, esto impulsa a otros a creer en Cristo, a saber que ‘la morada de Dios está con la humanidad.’ Así es como Pablo y Bernabé ‘hicieron un número considerable de discípulos.’” (Magníficat mayo de 2025, pág. 281) 

 

La semana pasada, mientras hablaba con los candidatos a la Confirmación en el ensayo, les pedí que dedicaran un tiempo a orar para que Dios les revelara para qué misión los ha creado. Cada uno de nosotros ha sido creado y amado para una misión específica para Dios, que solo nosotros podemos cumplir. ¿Cuál es esa misión? ¿Estamos respondiendo y viviendo en y a través del amor que Dios ha derramado por nosotros? En la Confirmación fuimos iniciados en la Misión de Cristo. ¿Cuál es la misión de Cristo para mí? Dediquemos un tiempo a meditar en ello Jesucristo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
