Plans Lorca: "He who has called you and made you capable, it was God" |
The parish of Our Lady of the Assumption of Cieza welcomed on Saturday the ordination of Juan Maria Moreno.
Chaired by the Bishop of the Diocese, Bishop D.
Jose Manuel Lorca Planes, the ceremony was concelebrated by several Episcopal Vicars, Rectors of the two diocesan seminaries and about 40 priests.
Accompanying the newly ordained seminarians in this event, family, friends and faithful of Cieza and other parts of the diocese.
Commending the Holy Christ of Consuelo, as was the desire of Juan Maria, the bishop meditated on the image of the Crucified One, looking at "the greatest act of love of history."
Bishop plans deepened Lorca in the "serenity" and "habitual state of the followers of Jesus", born from the experience of the Lord, "being rooted in the Father's Will."
"What does God require of thee, dear Jean Marie?
- Bishop questioned Lorca. - Possibly simple things, you will need your voice to tell your brothers who are not living unreason, or air, or anything, but it is our chance, but God continues to sustain our life ".
"As a priest, you will see how many brothers come to you with the feeling that God is silent" - he said, acknowledging that "find the meaning of your priestly life in this moment, in that inner desert," so you will have to "help them find the absolute trust in God."
"You'll be a prophet!" - Exclaimed.
The pastor advised him not to fear anything, because "he who called you and made you capable, was God."
Mr. Bishop, spoke about the humility of Jesus of Nazareth, recalling how "everything was, as always, the Father's will."
Thus, said, "God delights in the humble and pours them your thanks and welcome gifts in abundance."
"Humility and charity are each other" - he said.
In this regard urged to live with humility and foster charity.
In this sense, the new priest explained that "one way to follow your brothers, from the charity, bringing them closer to Christ, to approach them to the merciful heart of God, where you will be identified yourself and the personal identification with the Sacrifice of the Cross take you from the altar to the confessional, and serve your brothers. "
Plans Lorca Bishop concluded by entrusting the ministry of John the Blessed Virgin Mary, noting that "through the intercession of Mary, will reach all the graces of Jesus."
The bishop echoed the words of the Holy Curé of Ars to end this homily: "Jesus Christ, when He gave us everything we could give, would bequeath us his most precious possession, namely, his Holy Mother."
Juan María Moreno: "At that moment I wanted to meet him, he found me"
Jean Marie, 35, remembers the call of God as a "personal encounter with Christ, specifically in a coexistence of the Neocatechumenal Way."
This was said in the interview he did the day before his ordination from the diocesan program "The Mirror of the Church" (COPE).
"It was not of words, or feelings, but Christ found me in that living in a time of contemplative prayer." "Lord Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me a sinner." This is the prayer that John Mary repeated several times in this coexistence, because "it was fatal to my life, no longer made sense." "At that moment I wanted to meet him, he found me, he says. 'I felt loved and loved by God, there where no one could love me, or myself. "" The encounter with Christ, to feel truly loved by Him, was with what I said, I found what I've been looking for all my life "- expresses . "When found, as was to say, drop everything that I have to give my life to Him, only Him."
To start this ministry, John Mary asks God "to be a good priest for the people, that it always from Jesus Christ, a word of encouragement for those who suffer, they do not understand life, they need spiritual help , encouragement ... that all that the Lord has given me, to give it to them too. "
