Bishop Guillermo Elías Millares invites faithful to deepen devotion to Christ during Solemnity of the Lord of Miracles

Bishop Guillermo Elías Millares, auxiliary bishop of Lima, called on the faithful to move beyond outward displays of devotion during the Solemnity of the Lord of Miracles. During a Mass at the Sanctuary of Las Nazarenas, Millares told the congregation that participating in processions and festivities is insufficient if it does not lead to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The bishop spoke to thousands of people gathered for the celebration of the Cristo Moreno. Reflecting on the Gospel of John, Millares encouraged the faithful to look past the physical image to understand the meaning of the sacrifice of the Son of God and to seek salvation and healing. He stated that true devotion must result in a life transformed by the love of God and a commitment to living the faith.
