Dear parents, teachers, priests, pastors:<\/p>\n
Dear children of your priests:<\/p>\n
God Abba thought of us from eternity to be priests and has been using countless people to achieve his saving will through our priesthood. Our parents were collaborators in the realization of what our Daddy God wanted. Through them we come to life and wonders of tenderness were sown in us from the mother’s womb and at birth in teaching, education and correction. God is tenderness, our parents and relatives were tenderness, the nuns exude tenderness towards the sick, elderly and disabled, a priest is a father of tenderness towards all his children, the good, the bad, the believers, the santeros, spiritualists. , atheists, those of all ages.<\/p>\n
The children of a priest are not counted among those who come to the Church, all the inhabitants of the parish are his children. That is why it is precious that they tell us: Father, and they say it to us because we treat all our children with tenderness.<\/p>\n
A key person on our path to the priesthood has been our catechist, who prepared us for baptism, first communion, confirmation and taught us with passion and perseverance the truths of faith, the celebration of faith, the life of the faith and prayer. If one lives the catechism he is a saint.<\/p>\n
May the Spirit of tenderness flood us with the wisdom to live everything we know about the Holy Trinity, the Church, the Virgin Mary and the human person, the image and likeness of God, and grant us to teach it to all our children.<\/p>\n
The people want us saints. A sure path to holiness is to confess with the frequency that our spiritual father taught us.<\/p>\n
We have been told that the priest of Ars, whom they did not want to ordain because he did not know Latin, but who did live the catechism, spent hours sitting in the confessional and crowds came, so much so that the trains from Paris to Ars increased. One way to make saints is to confess.<\/p>\n
We thank God for the priest who confesses us. We thank God for the people we confess. They leave happy and so do we.<\/p>\n
We thank God for those we baptize. They leave happy, their families, and so do we.<\/p>\n
We thank God for the daily masses we celebrate. Every day we can say: I live, but not I, it is Christ who lives in me.<\/em> <\/p>\n We thank God for the sick we anoint. They feel welcomed by Father God even in the midst of their illness.<\/p>\n We thank God for the marriages saved, advised, accompanied, scolded, blessed. It is our way of making the Archdiocese of Havana happy and holy. A town is made up of families and if the families are happy, the town is happy.<\/p>\n To be saints and to make saints, to be fathers of tenderness, to be catechism teachers, to guide along the path of Christ we have been created, predestined, chosen, anointed and sent.<\/p>\n May the Virgin carry us and pray for us to fulfill our mission, which is more than just for men.<\/p>\n Holy Cur\u00e9 of Ars, pray for us and for our children. Amen.<\/p>\n Dear parents, teachers, priests, pastors: Dear children of your priests: God Abba thought of us from eternity to be priests<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4389,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[166],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"\n
