Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Abrir el corazón al Resucitado:
Hermanos y hermanas, un saludo de resurrección para cada uno. La paz
de Cristo este con ustedes y sus hogares. Les animo a continuar
viviendo y celebrando la pascua de resurrección. Cristo esta vivo en
nuestras vida, El ha resucitado y nos invita a vivir con sentido de
resurrección; esto es lo que da sentido a nuestra fe (1cor.15,14).
Los Apóstoles vieron y experimentaron a Jesús resucitado. Si tenemos
fe, nosotros también le podemos ver y experimentar vivo y presente,
compartiendo nuestras vidas. Si tenemos fe, sabemos que Cristo esta
con nosotros todos los días, en las buenas y en las malas hasta el ultimo
día (MT 28, 19).
Recuerden: Nos estamos preparando para celebrar La Vigilia de
Pentecostés.
Les Bendice,
Padre José Francisco Reyes
