Peppe Prado

Below you can read a summary of Pepe Prado's intervention on the SYNOD OF BISHOPS, VATICAN, 7-28 OCTOBER 2012. He is the Founder and International Director of the Sant'Andrea Schools of Evangelization (Mexico). The way he is speaking in front of the bishops about today's reality, is incredible! Read and enjoy:)!

"If Joseph and Mary lost Jesus in Jerusalem, something similar may happen today in the wanderings of our Church.Five centuries ago we left the joyful First Proclamation and took refuge in the sacraments, dogmas and catechisms; which are not bad, so long as they come after the First Proclamation. Not before, and above all, not in its place.
Some lost the Word, and preferred the full plans of human knowledge.
I would not allow myself to state that we have lost Jesus, but I wonder...
- Do we really consider everything as loss and rubbish, upon “knowing Christ Jesus my Lord”? (Ph 3: 7-8).
- Do we experience the joy of he who has found hidden treasure? (Mt 13:44).
- Why in many acts of devotion is it so difficult to find the Risen Christ, alive?
- If the Risen Christ does not appear to all people “but only to the witnesses” who go to proclaim the Gospel (Hech 10, 40:42), can we say that we have had a personal encounter with living Jesus, who identifies us as witnesses?
The people of God repeat and demand to us: “We want to see Jesus’.
Paul failed at Areopagus because he spoke of the resurrection but not of the Risen Christ, while Peter obtained a rich haul in Jerusalem because he “pierced the heart” with the sword of the Spirit. 
The problem is not that the Catholic Church does not evangelize, but rather that at times it is the “non-evangelized” who evangelize. This is to say that some evangelizers have not yet risen to Jordan to have personal experience of the love of God, and have not yet entered into the Last Supper to experience their personal Pentecost.
The pedagogy of the faith is like a football match, played in two halves: the first part is the First Proclamation. The second is the catechesis and theology. Therefore the evangelizers play in the first half, the catechists and teachers, the second. 
Just as Joseph and Mary returned to find Jesus in the place where they had left him (Lk 2:45), so we too return to Jerusalem, where we find an empty tomb."
