“Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said to them, “What do you seek?” And they said to him, “Rabbi . . . “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying; and they stayed with him that day . . . Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother . . . first found his brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah.” . . . He brought him to Jesus.” John 1:38-42.
“Here lies the test of truth, the touchstone of evangelization: it is unthinkable that a person should accept the word, and give himself to the kingdom, without becoming a person who bears witness to it and proclaims it in his turn.” St. Pope Paul VI.
Lord Jesus, give us the grace to seek after You and literally see You; to know Your thoughts and intentions for us; to find family, our people and introduce them to You as Andrew did that we have one big, loving and tender family of lovers of Christ. Amen.

"Jesús se volvió, y los vio siguiéndole, y les dijo: "¿Qué buscan?” Y ellos le dijeron: "Rabí... "¿Dónde te alojas?" Él les dijo: "Vengan y vean". Vinieron y vieron dónde se alojaba; y se quedaron con él ese día. . . Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro... primero encontró a su hermano Simón, y le dijo: "Hemos encontrado al Mesías". . . . Lo llevó a Jesús". Juan 1:38-42.
"Aquí está la prueba de la verdad, la piedra de toque de la evangelización: es impensable que una persona acoja la Palabra y se entregue al reino, sin convertirse en una persona que da testimonio de ella y la anuncia a su vez". San Pablo VI.
Señor Jesús, danos la gracia de buscarte y literalmente verte; conocer Sus pensamientos e intenciones para nosotros; para encontrar familia, nuestra gente y presentarlos a Ti como lo hizo Andrés que tenemos una familia grande, amorosa y tierna de amantes de Cristo. Amén.
