Contemplation and Solidarity
-
Christ Jesus, the merciful High Priest, wounded because of our sins, by the Holy Spirit, offered Himself immaculate to God, to atone for the sin of the world and sanctify his Church.
Those who want to follow him, must become a living memory of the way of existence and acting of Jesus. That is why we need to transform into him, shaping our lives more and more each day after him and his values and priorities. These values can be expressed as contemplation and solitary.
Christ the Priest and Victim as we meet him in the Gospel, illuminated by the doctrine and experience of Blessed Concepcion Cabrera and by the experience of Venerable Father Felix Rougier, the man of faith that God gave us as Founder, gives direction to our lives and connects us with our deepest identity as Christians.
When we live the priesthood of Christ, we find ourselves deeply in love with God and others.- In love with God, in an attitude of fidelity and obedience, of dedication and contemplation. This demands that we foster a life of prayer, especially before the Blessed Sacrament, a frequent and rich sacramental life, and to live in an attitude of discernment, asking God often, "What do you want of me, Lord?"
- In love with others, in an attitude of mercy and service, of witness, and fraternal solidarity. This demands our unconditional dedication in favor of the sisters and brothers and is fully lived in the offering of our daily life.
Christ’s priesthood was his whole life, his permanent attitude of offering, his life constantly offered and given. The culmination of this dedication was made by his sacrifice on the cross until he gave his life.
The contemplative and solidary virtues of Christ are perpetuated among us through the Eucharist, and in it, we united ourselves more perfectly to him.
