Not to let ourselves be distracted or dazed by other strange voices that, though possibly heard within the Church, do not communicate its Good News.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to feel that Jesus calls us \u201cby our name.\u201d\u00a0 To be personally drawn to him.\u00a0 To discover little by little, and more joyfully each time, that no one answers as he does to our most decisive questions, our most profound yearnings, our ultimate needs.<\/p>\n<p>It is decisive to \u201cfollow\u201d Jesus.\u00a0 The Christian faith does not consist in believing things about Jesus, but in believing in Jesus, in trusting in his person as we live.\u00a0 To be inspired by his way of life so that our own existence may have a clear and responsible orientation.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital to walk with Jesus \u201cahead of us.\u201d\u00a0 Not to go about in life all by ourselves.\u00a0 To experience at some point, even though awkwardly, that it is possible to live life from its root, from this God who is offered to us in Jesus, more human, friendlier, closer and more saving than all our theories.<\/p>\n<p>This living relationship with Jesus does not arise in us automatically.\u00a0 It is being awakened within us in fragile and humble way.\u00a0 At the beginning, it may be just a desire.\u00a0 It usually grows surrounded by doubts, questions and resistance.\u00a0 But there comes a moment, I do not know how it happens, when contact with Jesus begins to make a decisive difference in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>I am convinced that the future of the faith among us is being decided, for the most part, in our consciences when at such moments we sense we are Christians.\u00a0 Right now, the faith is being fanned into flame or is being put out in our parishes and communities, in the hearts of the priests and the faithful of whom they are made up.<\/p>\n<p>Unbelief starts to penetrate us from the very moment our relationship with Jesus loses its force, or is deadened by routine, indifference and carelessness.\u00a0 That is why Pope Francis has recognized that \u201cwe need to create spaces\u201d that can help and heal, \u201c\u2018places where faith \u2026 in Jesus is renewed.\u2019\u201d\u00a0 We have to listen to this call.<\/p>\n<p><strong>J<\/strong><strong>os\u00e9 Antonio Pagola<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>May 11, 2014<br \/>\n4 Easter (A)<br \/>\nJohn 10, 1-10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New relationship with Jesus In our Christian communities we need to experience Jesus anew in our lives, reviving our relationship with him.\u00a0 To put him decisively in the center of our life.\u00a0 To move from &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/vincentians.com\/en\/fourth-sunday-of-easter-jose-antonio-pagola-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":151051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-109624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-homilies-and-reflections-year-a"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fourth Sunday of Easter (Jos\u00e9 Antonio Pagola) - We are Vincentians<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/vincentians.com\/en\/fourth-sunday-of-easter-jose-antonio-pagola-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fourth Sunday of Easter (Jos\u00e9 Antonio Pagola) - We are Vincentians\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New relationship with Jesus In our Christian communities we need to experience Jesus anew in our lives, reviving our relationship with him.\u00a0 To put him decisively in the center of our life.\u00a0 To move from ...
