Bem-aventurados os mansos, porque eles herdarão a terra; Bem-aventurados os que têm fome e sede de justiça, porque eles serão fartos; Bem-aventurados os misericordiosos, porque eles alcançarão misericórdia; Bem-aventurados os limpos de coração, porque eles verão a Deus; Bem-aventurados os pacificadores, porque eles serão chamados filhos de Deus; Bem-aventurados os que sofrem perseguição por causa da justiça, porque deles é o reino dos céus; Bem-aventurados sois vós, quando vos injuriarem e perseguirem e, mentindo, disserem todo o mal contra vós por minha causa.(Mt.5)

FEEDING ON THE WORD OF THE SAVIOR

FEEDING ON THE WORD OF THE SAVIOR Thinking of Jesus Christ today, there are three important parts: the relationship between Father and Son (beyond time, that is, from all eternity); between Jesus and His disciples; and between Jesus and His future disciples. In addition, there is a clear revelation from the Father, an indisputable foundation in unity, a teaching, emphasizing the truth of the Father's sending of the Son, and certainty in the apostolic continuation, through His sending and protection. 2. "May all be ONE" and be with Christ and Christ in them. This is the desire of Christ Himself, for they will thus reflect what God is in Himself: "I and the Father are ONE". There will be no true conversion without the clarity of faith, the unity between the children of God and communion with the Lord. The certainty of belonging to Christ necessarily involves the testimony not only of faith, but also, in a special way, of truth and love. It is necessary that each disciple be configured to the One who sent him. Through what has been sent, the world will know the One to whom the world must be converted. The disciples' testimony will be the sign of the sending and the means of knowledge of God. 3. Through his existence all directed towards the Father, absolutely faithful to the will of the one who sent Him, moreover, through His teachings, miracles and merciful actions, Jesus gave glory to the Father. In everything, He was a concrete expression of the Father's love for humanity, in all he gave honor and glory to the Father. In the life of Jesus, the glory of God was manifested, glory belonging to Him as a divine Word, as a Word made flesh and glorified in his humanity. 4. The disciple is called to be a reflection of the glory of God. First of all, he needs to find himself loved by God through Jesus Christ and also belonging to Him; then he needs to find himself called and chosen to be the visible presence of God's glory in the world. For this, some elements are necessary: the discovery of the love of God and the choice of vocation; a profound experience with the Father, through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit; a sincere life of prayer and contemplation of God; and a clarity about the world hostile to God, but in need of the Lord's goodness. Diving into the wonders of the Lord is the certainty that you will find true happiness, it never ends, it is written and will be fulfilled. Love of neighbor is the key to everything, receive our loving embrace.
