Dear friends of Gethsemane: peace to you!
In these new days of the year we are still immersed in the Mystery of Christmas… The Lord has approached our humanity once for all. The Mystery is truly great! Celebrating the Holy Mass I meditated on this desire of God of coming to live in our midst: “The Word became flesh”, the Gospel affirms (John 1,14).
Together with you I wonder, “Where is all this still happening?” The answer I have found is moving, full of mystery and wonderful: in the Eucharist... In the words of the Consecration of bread and wine, THAT mystery that exceeds our capacity for understanding… in everything… continues to happen. It is the same little Baby of Bethlehem, it is the same Lord that HERE in Gethsemane gave himself for us men and offered himself to the Father.
Let us contemplate, let us adore the Lord in our prayer! Let us welcome with love the Love, our Lord Jesus Christ.
