What does the
Congress theme mean to you?
"Awake to Grace"
"Despierten a la Gracia"
The grace of God has appeared on
earth bringing salvation to all (Titus 2:11). All around us, even within
reach of our senses, abound stirrings of this all-encompassing presence. Yet,
it is easy to miss the prompting, miss the grace hidden in the joys, the
hopes, the beauty, as well as in the contradictions, pain and struggle.
Our theme, “Awake to Grace,” shakes
us out of our inattentiveness, our complacency. Summoned to wake up, we
discover grace in places, situations, where we would not expect it at all:
around us, among the littlest, the poorest, in the still small voices, in the
loud clamors for change, renewal and transformation – and no less in the
deepest core of ourselves where the birth of Christ unceasingly repeats
itself.
