  Holiness is possible! Read the reflection of Fr. Luis Casasus on Sunday’s Gospel.

Idente comes from the Gospel mandate: "Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to all creation" (Mk 16, 15). Idente means to be walking with Christ, identifying oneself with him above all in his confession of our Heavenly Father.

The Institute Id of Christ the Redeemer, Idente Missionaries, is an institute of consecrated life of pontifical right, founded by Fernando Rielo Pardal on June 29, 1959, in Tenerife (Spain). Its charism is to live holiness by means of an ascetic and mystical examination in common. Its apostolic mission is directed above all to the encounter with the youth and dialogue with the intellectual world to defend the revealed truth. The charism is based on three evangelical principles:
1) the call to holiness: “Be holy as your Heavenly Father is holy” (Mt 5,48);
2) the promotion of community life: “where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them” (Mt 18,20).
3) the priority dedication to the evangelizing mission: “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to all creation” (Mk 16,15).

True prayer can be recognized in that, when it ceases, we are not the same.

I tell you: go through the world announcing my Father, your Father, projecting on this world the noblest acts. You have not been born to an apostolic vocation to teach many things, but to teach these under the rule of the word, “Father.”

Father, there is no name like Yours. I’ve been repeating it for centuries, and it’s always new to me.
