Mass Intentions
What is a Mass Intention? A Mass
Intention is when you have a Mass said
for someone who has passed away or for
something that is very important example: wedding anniversary, birthday.
Call the parish office today for a mass.
To Know Jesus
We know many people and we don’t always like them. Sometimes knowledge leads to
love and other times to indifference, suspicion, or even hatred.
What is always true, however, is
that we cannot love what we do not
know. Therefore, we cannot love
Jesus if we do not him well: his
identity, his works, and his words.
But, what does knowing Jesus
mean? There are may ways to know
things. We can know something in
our minds, just as when we learn
concepts, data or ideas. We can
study for an exam or a test for a job.
But all that knowledge, important as
it is and often transformative of our
course in life, does not normally touch the depths of our hearts and persons.
We can know the figure of Jesus studying books about the historical person, his time and
even his words and works without, however, coming to personally know the living Jesus.
Knowing Jesus is more than all that: it means having had an encounter with Him so that
the eyes of the mind and the heart understand and come to passionately love Christ. This
means also to recognize his union with the Father. And that is precisely what Jesus
came to earth to do. Coming into such a deep knowledge that all become one with him.
What for? So that all enjoy the same glory: that is, the perfect joy of being with God.
There are many trials, sufferings and anxieties in this world. But those who know Christ
know well that what they have, that the promise, surpasses by far anything that can
happen here on earth. Those who know Christ know the final hope. Those who know
Christ know that life and death, assumed by Christ in his coming to the world to be like
us, have been totally transformed. By the coming of Jesus, by his death and, above all,
by his resurrection, we know that our humanity has been transformed and liberated.
Knowing Christ is to have an inner conviction that the self-giving of Christ gives us life
and saves us.
Knowing Christ, therefore, is much more that an intellectual idea, necessary as it is. It
means such a deep love for him that it leads us to live like Him: in service to others, in
self-giving even with our own sacrifice, in the hope of resurrection, and in a deep and
intense joy: we belong to God. Knowing Jesus is entering his intimacy, being closely
and deeply united.
For Reflection
How is my personal encounter with the living Christ? In which ways do I know Jesus?
In which ways is my life a reflection of the life of Jesus?

Conocer a Jesús
Conocemos muchas veces a muchas personas y no siempre es para bien. A veces el
conocimiento nos lleva al amor, y otras veces a la indiferencia, a la sospecha, o incluso
al odio.
Pero lo que es siempre cierto es que no se puede amar lo que no se conoce. Por lo
tanto, o se puede amar a Jesús si no se conoce bien quién es, qué hizo, y todas sus
palabras. Pero, ¿en qué consiste conocer a Jesús? Hay muchas maneras de conocer
cosas. Se conoce con lamente, como cuando se acumulan conceptos, ideas. Se puede
estudiar para un examen o para una prueba de trabajo. Pero todo ese conocimiento, con
lo importante que es y lo que puede cambiar el curso de una vida, normalmente no toca a
lo más profundo de la persona.
Podemos conocer la figura de Jesús estudiando en libros sobre el personaje histórico,
Su tiempo, e incluso sus palabras y obras, sin llegar, sin embargo, a “conocer” personalmente al Jesús vivo. Conocer a Jesús es haber tenido un encuentro con Él, de tal manera
que los ojos de la mente y el corazón comprendan y lleguen a amar apasionadamente a
Cristo. Esto significa reconocer también su unión con el Padre. Y eso es precisamente
lo que Cristo vino a hacer a la tierra. Entrar en un conocimiento tan profundo, que todos
se hagan uno con Él. Y, ¿para qué? Para que todos gocen de la misma gloria: es decir,
la alegría perfecta de estar con Dios.
En este mundo hay muchas penalidades, sufrimientos y angustias. Pero quienes
conocen a Cristo saben muy bien que lo que tienen sobrepasa, con mucho, todo lo que se
pueda pasar aquí. Quienes conocen a Cristo saben bien la esperanza final. Quienes conocen a Cristo saben que, vida y muerte, asumidas por Cristo en su venida al mundo a
ser como nosotros, han sido totalmente transformadas. Por la venida de Jesús, por su
muerte y sobre todo, por su resurrección, sabemos que nuestra humanidad se ha transformado y liberado. Conocer a Cristo es saber internamente esa entrega de Cristo que nos
da vida y que nos salva.
Conocer a Cristo, por tanto, más que el conocimiento intelectual, que es necesario, supone para nosotros un amor tan profundo, que nos lleva a vivir como Él: en servicio a los
demás, en entrega incluso con el sacrificio propio, en la esperanza de la resurrección, y
en una alegría profunda e intensa: pertenecemos a Dios. Conocer a Jesús es entrar en
intimidad, unirse profundamente.
Para La Reflexión
¿Cómo ha sido mi encuentro personal con el Cristo vivo? ¿De qué maneras conozco a
Jesús? ¿De qué maneras vivo como Jesús?
