Today's reflection is taken from the Letter to the Hebrews, and his blood Christ entered the sanctuary.
What tells you that? Probably not understand it, is a case as a priest, I understand that the sacrifice
of our Lord Jesus Christ gives us the grace to enter a completely different lifestyle,
Christ died for our sins, I believe, and as a confessor and I can attest it.
The sad thing is that people do not think so, for which reason it is very difficult to enter the sanctuary,
let's put it in those terms, because for the people, the sanctuary is related to something magical,
something in the style of Walter Mercado, or do not know who, but not really in that sense transcendental,
ie, by the Blood of Jesus Christ on the cross, God gave me the grace to enter a new life,
and that requires attention, sacrifice, dedication , people do not value, we do not fully appreciate
and understand what the Mystery of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
For which reason, one does not understand the mass, or make an effort to understand and celebrate,
for which reason the sacraments for us rather are a time of social gatherings but not deep spiritual growth
and we complain that the church is upside down of course that is upside down because not only is the responsibility
of priests or priests the church, the church is your responsibility and the church can be better because
you can help them be better, you can promote a better priesthood, your can promote better catechesis,
you can promote a better married life, you can promote better social life, you can promote art and culture
within the church, what are you doing, show me your record when you speak so many things church,
as I did when I was young and then you realize that all these things require work,
and when it comes to work motivated by faith and trusting precisely this vocation to which Christ calls us
is when one stops and thinks and says well not have been a good Catholic, I did not understand what
the Lord has called me and now I do, I say this with responsibility, because you get tired at times,
to defend to the hierarchy of the Church yes they were wrong and still wrong in many aspects of life
but that does not justify that we do not have a church closer to Jesus Christ, a church closer to human.
May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit descend over you, your family and jobs.
May the Lord protect and be with you forever. Amen
