The event brings together digital evangelizers from more than 20 countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia to share experiences and gifts and to discern together new paths for mission in the digital world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cBeing and Doing the Church\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This first opening day laid the groundwork for what will be an intense week of work, prayer, and fellowship. Father Jos\u00e9 Juan Montalvo (\u201cFather Borre\u201d) reminded participants that the experience consists of \u201cbeing and making the Church,\u201d emphasizing that the most valuable content that can be shared on social media is none other than the authentic witness of a community that knows how to love one another. \u201cMay these days be about fewer screens and more eye contact,\u201d he urged, proposing that participants live out the gathering through five key attitudes: seeking, listening, getting to know, finding, and sharing\u2014far removed from any spirit of competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This communion became evident from the very beginning in the diversity of the participants. Unity in faith, spirit, and apostolic zeal blends harmoniously with the wide variety of personalities, interests, and opinions that come together in online evangelization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as unity in God is infinite personal love\u2014the Holy Spirit\u2014so too are all expressions of unity and diversity called to be enlivened by charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Unity and Diversity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only through that supernatural love do even opposing viewpoints and personal limitations cease to be a cause of division and become a shared treasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Likewise, our prayer for one another\u2014lived out within the unity of the Church\u2014directs these days toward the horizon that the Lord has set before us: \u201cMay they all be one, just as You, Father, are in me and I am in You\u201d (Jn 17:21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Connection Beyond the Screen<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opening of the event concluded with the celebration of Holy Mass presided over by Monsignor Daniel Francisco Blanco M\u00e9ndez, auxiliary bishop of San Jos\u00e9 and coordinator of the communications center of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/news\/celam-synodality-and-the-challenges-for-latin-america\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"41821\">CELAM<\/a>. In his homily, he warned against the temptation to replace Christ with one\u2019s own image or with the tyranny of metrics and \u201clikes.\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology is a valuable tool, but Jesus remains the undisputed center. With this as our starting point, \u201cActs 29\u201d kicks off a decisive week to renew our commitment to fostering fellowship and leading people\u2014beyond the screen\u2014to a living encounter with the Lord.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Con la mirada puesta en enlazar el entorno digital con la vida comunitaria eclesial, San Jos\u00e9 acoge a lo largo de esta semana la sexta edici\u00f3n de \u201cHechos 29\u201d.
