Renew Your Relationship with Jesus / Renueva su relación con Jesús

Renew Your Relationship with Jesus / Renueva su relación con Jesús

padremigrante March 29, 2025 CMFN

Renueva su relación con Jesús

Este es el tema de una Misión Redentorista en Cicero, Illinois. Soy parte de un grupo de nueve predicadores redentoristas que ofrecerán misiones parroquiales en seis parroquias del 5 al 11 de abril. La misión se ofrecerá en varios idiomas. Creo que vamos a tener más redentoristas en el equipo antes de comenzar. Al reflexionar sobre la renovación de la relación con Jesús, necesitamos reconocer que el “su” es personal y comunitario.

A menudo, las personas buscan enriquecer su relación personal con Jesús, y lo hacemos mediante retiros, conferencias, oración y sacrificio. Sin embargo, nuestra misión, que se ofrece en seis parroquias contiguas, reconoce que donde dos o tres se reúnen en su nombre, Jesús está presente. Para tener una relación con Jesús, tenemos que reconocer su presencia. Hay dos pasajes bíblicos que sean reveladores. Cuando Jesús habló del juicio final en el Evangelio de Mateo (Mt. 25:31-46), no se refería a un reconocimiento individual o personal de Jesús en el hambriento, el sediento, el forastero, etc. Dijo que las “naciones” serían separadas como las ovejas de las cabras. Este es un juicio comunitario.

Y después de la Última Cena, se dirigió a sus apóstoles diciéndoles que les estaba dando un nuevo mandamiento: “Ámense unos a otros como yo los he amado.” Esto es personal para todos los creyentes. Nuestra misión es llamar a las personas a una relación personal con Jesús y a las comunidades eclesiales a una relación renovada con Jesús.

Renew Your Relationship with Jesus

This is the theme for a Redemptorist Mission in Cicero, IL. I am part of group of nine Redemptorist preachers who will offer parish missions in six parishes from April 5-11. The mission will be offered in several languages. I believe that there will be a couple more Redemptorists added to the team before we begin. As we reflect on renewing relationship with Jesus, we need to recognize the “your” as being personal and communal.

Often people seek to enrich their personal relationship with Jesus, and we do so in retreats, conferences, prayer and sacrifice. Yet our mission being offered in six parishes contiguous to each other is a recognition that where two or three are gathered in his name, Jesus is present. In order to have a relationship with Jesus, we must recognize his presence. There are two scriptures that I find especially revealing. When Jesus spoke about the final judgment in the gospel of Matthew (Mt. 25:31-46) he was not speaking of individual or personal recognition of Jesus in the hungry, the thirst, the stranger, etc. He said that the “nations” will be separate as sheep from the goats. This is a communal judgment.

And after the Last Supper, he addressed his Apostles saying that he was giving them a new commandment, “love one another as I have loved you.” That is personal for all believers. Our mission is to call individuals to personal relationship with Jesus and a call to church communities to a renewed relationship with Jesus.

Oh Jesús, tú nos llamas: “Síganme”. Bendice, Señor, a todos los que acogen tu llamado. Puede que el camino no sea fácil, pero tenemos la confianza de que todo es posible si caminamos contigo. Que este viaje nos abra los ojos a las maravillas de tu amor por nosotros. Oramos por toda tu gente, por todos los creyentes e incrédulos, por los líderes y seguidores. Oramos por la sanación, el perdón, la compasión, la justicia y la paz. Oramos para que, al seguirte, nosotros también podamos ser pescadores de hombres. Bendícenos en nuestro viaje.

O Jesus, you call us, “Come after me.” Bless, O Lord, all who welcome your call. The path may not be easy, but we have confidence that all things are possible if we walk with you. May this journey, open our eyes to the wonders of your love for us. We pray for all your people, for all believers and unbelievers, for leaders and followers. We pray for healing, for forgiveness, for compassion, for justice, for peace. We pray that as we follow you, we too can be fishers of men. Bless us on our journey.
