San Sebastian de Garabandal Parish

Dear faithful and brothers:

Driven by the Holy Spirit, to frame all our to be and exist of each day in the trinitarian love of the Father, and of the Son, And of the holy spirit, we allow ourselves to be caught by the power of the Spirit to break new paths of hope in a world entangled in the shadows of indifference, of individualism and globalization ( Hc 4, 20,22).

It's always Pentecost in the Church. Risen Jesus Christ present continues to send the Holy Spirit. Every age and every problem has the grace of the Spirit that helps in the march towards the beyond. Sometimes this new grace remains unused for a time until men and women faithful to it emerge.. And for these new men and women to be given, the characteristics of the first Pentecost must also be given: the apostles in prayer, in fraternity and with Mary the mother of Jesus. It is a constant wanted by the Lord.

God does not give away the story prefabricated, but man builds it with the grace of God. Mary's prayer, and his presence, it is a characteristic and fundamental note of the first Pentecost and of every ecclesial moment. The Holy Spirit continues to make Mary, and to the Church, Virgin and Mother. There are no apostles or Pentecost without Mary. Marian devotion and love is a guarantee of the meaning of the Church.

The person becomes human and a believer when he opens himself to the action of the Spirit that puts us in armonía ourselves, leads us to meeting with others in truth and peace, and opens us to communication joyous with God. The Spirit gives us the audacity and courage to walk in plurality of paths, but always in contact with human and historical reality, in the here and now of life, without a burdensome yesterday and without a naive future. New paths open to evangelization. And to brand new these paths needs new men seasoned in the hope, the optimism and audacity. Lamentations and longings are not worth it. It's time to join efforts. Christians are needed now more than ever, of deep faith, of permanent prayer, of generous availability, of constant brotherhood and universal perspective. May Pentecost be the feast that opens our conscience to the responsibility of contribute the best that each one has with a fraternal spirit and peace (2 Color 11-12).

Mary, mother of the church, help us to leave the cenacle to make a Church more of Jesus and less of ours. that in this place, marked by so many events, live the truth, the depth and commitment of faith that is to make this space a serious Pentecost, marked by the gifts and charisms so necessary at this time and in this history.
