Let us Follow Christ / Sigamos nosotros a Cristo

“Let us follow after Christ and pray to the Father together with him. Let us not emulate Judas by departing from Christ, after partaking of his favors and dining excellently with him.” (St. Thomas More)

“Our God is a God who is approaching us. A God who is close. A God who started walking with His people and then became one of them, in Jesus Christ, to become close. With that closeness that gave encouragement to those ten lepers to ask Him to clean them up... No one wanted to miss that closeness.” (Francis)

“Every joy and suffering, every event and need can become the matter for thanksgiving which, sharing in that of Christ, should fill one's whole life: 'Give thanks in all circumstances' (1 Thess 5:18).” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2648)

"Sigamos nosotros a Cristo y supliquemos al Padre con Él. No imitemos la conducta de Judas, abandonando a Cristo después de haber participado de sus favores y haber cenado espléndidamente con Él." (Santo Tomás More)

"Nuestro Dios es un Dios que se hace cercano. Un Dios que empezó a caminar con su pueblo y luego se hizo uno de su pueblo, en Jesucristo. Con esa cercanía que dio ánimo a esos diez leprosos para pedirle que los limpiara… Nadie quería perder esa cercanía." (Francisco)

"Toda alegría y toda pena, todo acontecimiento y toda necesidad pueden ser materia de la acción de gracias que, participando en la de Cristo, debe llenar toda la vida: 'En todo den gracias' (1Tes 5,18)." (Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, # 2648)
