Teresianos !, friends all, the morning of March 28 will celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Saint Teresa of Jesus.
It is truly amazing to see the impact that continues to cause this holy in the various fields : culture, art, theology, spirituality …
The countless courses, activities, pilgrimages, studies, videos, songs and exhibitions throughout the world and in the most varied languages may found quickly on social media and new information technologies and communication.
Because with Teresa has been the case with the great saints, the more time passes, more vivid are more known are , greatest interest.
And this is “proof of its truth” (26 poems), which over the centuries, do not go away, do not stop, instead, remain, grow, question are more alive than ever!
His life invites us to live ours with intensity and passion, by giving us what it’s worth, a cause that lasts forever, based on truth, love, good.
She was a sensitive events and the reality of its history woman screamed in pain when contemplating the conflicts, wars and religious divisions of his time “… in flames the world” (C 1.5) – and that pained cry resonates in us … and we know when we hear news of what is happening in Mexico and the world
It is an immense pain that wakes while the great. dream of building a real peace.
And to build this peace, Teresa invites us to trust in God and in His great mercy. “In Christ my confidence.” (Poems 26).
“shine your mercy in such flood evil, look Lord that we are making yours.”
But how to respond to emergencies that we live in our reality?
I think that sometimes we are tempted to intervene and impulsively want to solve the problems we face, but it is impossible without reflection, without trust in God and without some inner peace.
So the Teresian letrilla they found written in his own hand in a small paper and crumpled in his prayer book, is a pillar to which we return again and again to always find the Living Water that will quench our thirst “Let nothing disturb you, nothing frighten you, everything passes, God never changes, the Patience obtains all things, who has God lacks nothing. God alone suffices!
Santa Teresa asks us today to turn our eyes and hearts to the Lord our God, to the essential, because “anything goes” and since the peace that comes from being with Christ, we can build peace with others and the world.
“Oh strong love of God! And how not it must be impossible thing he loves! Oh happy soul that has come to achieve this peace of God, who is not afraid of hardships and dangers of this world, just to serve as good Spouse and Lord! “(Concepts 3, 4).
When our actions and decisions stem from a reflection illuminated by prayer and Gospel values, certainly go beyond ourselves and our own impulses and only then, from peace of heart can face all the difficulties and problems our world.
“What can not be undertaken by Vos teniéndoos so together” (Concepts 4.9).
with trust in God and holding hands Teresa can dare to . dream and believe it is possible a world of peace
The Pope Francisco to celebrate the V Centenario, and before this world full of conflict, invites us to live the way of Saint Teresa to God: “Prayer “and I do so with a clear intention”. peace “
It will be held for a prayer vigil around the world will begin the Pope in Santa Marta from the 26th to end the morning of the 28th.
We will be united in many countries, according to the Holy See are also invited to attend this prayer brothers Christians and members of other religions with the desire to promote inter-religious and ecumenical dialogue.
In this prayer vigil ask peace as poor because we are in need of it. Let us peace because it is a gift, a gift from above.
Let us pray with Teresa of Jesus the God of Peace to help us build peace by creating opportunities for dialogue and encounter, we learn to apologize and pardon for peace outbreak in the world as a result of the reconciliation that God has come to bring us.
If you want to join are invited to wakefulness we will have in the Teresian College of Mérida at 21 hours 27 March. Let us unite our hearts in prayer to have the peace that we all desire
