BENEFFITS OF THE YEAR OF THE FAITH.
It has been some months that the “YEAR
OF THE FAITH that Benedicto XVI was declared ended (12 October 2012
to 24 november 2013) at the day of the festivity of Jesuschrist King
of the Universe, and without doubt the beneficts that it had are of
the greatest importance, much was written and much was gained by us
all catholics due to the wonderfull information about faith that we
received trough different channels. Its opening day was at the 50
years anniversary of the opening of the Ecumenic Concilium and the 20
years of the launching of the Cathesism of our Doctrine.
As it was signaled by Benedicto XVI,
Jesus is the center of the Cristian Faith, catholics beleive in God
trough Jesus that revealed himself as son of God., being also a
perfect man, and that was written in the scriptures centuries before
it happened, He is the interpreter and complimentary of what was
written, as well as what the profets said about his mother, the way
He was conceived, what he came to do, the announcement of the
“Kingdom of God” here, among us. He was the protagonist of the
Divine Revelation, that explains and gives plennitud to the Old
Testament, gives us the true doctrine from his father trough the
Gospels, He founded his Church (“Ecclessia”) and its hierarchy,
with Perer as the first Pope and the apostols as the Magistry of the
“Ecclessia”, and it has since been the institution responsable
for the keeping of the true doctrine that exists trough the time, and
will continue until the end of the times under the
inspiration of the holy spirit, that is the greatness of our
Ecclessia. He left us the Holy Sacraments that are the chanels trough
by wich we receive the God´s Grace that saves us to heaven, and it
is most indispensable since without God´s Grace there is not
salvation.
The Year of the Faith renewed in us the
purpuse of announcing God to the others as did with the first
catholics in the ancient Ecclessia. The contemporary human kind has
more necessity than ever in history of being cathequesied due to the
great amount of distractors that technology has brougth to our way of
life, our spirit is occupied in so many new and atractive and realy
surprising issues that technology ofers us, that mankind seems to be
in no need of God any more, and that is our greatest mistake. New
efforts have to be done by the catholics that have kept its faith to
help others that have been distracted and are loosing it. Christ is
calling us to confess our faith and be testimonials of it, with
conviction, confidence and hope, and doing what in every bodie´s
capacity is possible that is living an operative faith, we are being
sent to chistianice in our place, where ever we live, work or
socialise, not only by our example, but also by calling others to
live accordingly, Pope Francius is telling us in “LUMEN FIDEI”,
that is his “Enciclica” that it is urgent to recuperate the
luminous caracter belonging to faith, since when its flame dimishes,
other flames do alike, faith (he says) teaches that every person is a
benediction to him because the ligth in Gods face iluminates trough
the face of the brother, and this allouds also to identify respect to
nature and the just forms of goverment and obliges to practice
patience and compromise.
1.-Advices given for the aftermath of
the year of faith As Sait Paul says “with our heart we believe and
with our mouth we give public testimony” and as such we have to be
congruent.
2.-The Cathesism of our Ecclessia is at
reach, make it your bed time book. So as to read and meditate it.
3.- Read and live the the Creed,
meditate it frecuently.
4.-Be concious of the enormous value
of faith, get profit of invitation of the Lord made trough his
Ecclessia to know better our faith, and communicate with other
persons to influence them in such. This generation seems to have
forgotten its origin and destiny.
5.-Get closer to your church, there is
the testimony of faith.
6.-Remember we must start with the
closer ones, our family.
7.-Lets not forget to pray to God that
he increases our own faith.
