Despite attracting many of his own disciples, he continually pointed the way to Jesus. So too, are we called to do the same as disciples of the Kingdom. But we must first gain an interior knowledge of the Lord by turning our gaze from the messenger in order to \u201caccompany Jesus around Galilee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We are invited to walk with Jesus in prayerful contemplation of his person, teachings, and healings so as to know his words, thoughts, feelings, and desires. And to know him from within ourselves. In this process we discover a personal friend. He is someone with whom we want to walk through life. Far from a romantic ideal, it provokes an ongoing transformation. What does \u201caccompanying Jesus around Galilee\u201d look like?<\/p>\n<p>Galilee is a paradoxical place of beauty and purification. The incredibly hot summer months turn hillsides into an ugly, dry, and barren looking countryside. But wait&#8230; that passes. The chilly winter rains replenish the apparently barren soil. Lush greenery creeps its way through the dead brush. Patience for springtime rewards spectators with splendid colors of purple, red, and yellow wildflowers splattered upon the hilly landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>The seasons in Galilee are like the seasons of our spiritual journey. Dryness purifies the soul. Showers of blessings germinate the seeds of grace. And faith \u201cbasks\u201d in the certainty of God\u2019s divine providence, giving birth to the flowers of virtue. The dynamic of our cooperative dance with God\u2019s love and mercy blossoms into friendship with Jesus. We accompany Jesus and let him accompany us as we hear the echo of John the Baptist, \u201cHe must increase. I must decrease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this process, we may feel we are sliding backwards, then moving forward, ascending ever higher and falling deeper. Surprises abound. We are exasperated at our continued weaknesses. Astonished when we experience a strength not our own. Flabbergasted by new manifestations of egotism. And yet, delighted when we discover that, through it all, we have truly fallen in love with the Lord.<\/p>\n<p><em>Your Friend in Christ,<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Ristine<br \/><em>Jennifer lives in the formation center for the consecrated women of Regnum Christi in Madrid, Spain, and is the author of \u201c<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/mary-magdalene-insights-from-ancient-magdala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Mary Magdalene, Insights from Ancient Magdala<\/em><\/a><em>\u201d and \u201c<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnumchristi.com\/en\/nine-days-with-mary-magdalene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Nine Days with Mary Magdalene<\/em>.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friends, &nbsp; Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, the child who \u201cgrew and became strong in the spirit, and he was in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":366,"featured_media":173030,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[3004,6616,3001],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-173022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regnum-christi-news","category-weekly-message","category-news-article"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"","pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.8 (Yoast SEO v28.8) -
