Do you feel burdened? The writers of our epistle and gospel want to know. “You remember our labor and toil, brothers and sisters; we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God,” Paul says. Jesus speaks of the scribes and Pharisees,…
When we hear Jesus’ beatitudes, what do we think? Maybe, we think, “Wow, these are the most beautiful words I have ever heard.” We may think, “Wow, these are beautiful words, but like so many beautiful words, they’re fanciful, and they can’t really be followed in the real world.” We may think, “Wow, these are…
An authority on the Law of Moses gives Jesus a pop quiz: name the greatest commandment. The request is not to name the top commandment of the Ten Commandments. Specifically, Jesus is to consider the 613 commandments found in the first five books of the Bible, known as the Torah, or The Teaching, and to…
I strongly suspect that even a casual familiarity with any of today’s various sources of streaming news would absolutely satiate anyone’s interest in Caesar and Caesar’s taxes—but here they are again.

La estación de Cuaresma y otras estaciones litúrgicas no se establecieron inmediatamente después de la…
After the sermon ends in the Ash Wednesday liturgy, it is customary for the minister to invite us, “in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent.” The Church invites us to self-examination and repentance, prayer, fasting and self-denial, and reading and meditating on God’s Holy Word. Many of us recall…
La Iglesia Episcopal dentro y fuera de Estados Unidos celebra el domingo de Misión Mundial. Junto a cristianos y cristianas de todo el mundo oramos por la misión de Dios en nuestras iglesias y comunidades, la cual, según el catecismo de la Iglesia es “restaurar a todos los pueblos a la unión con Dios y…
Imagínense por un momento que su trabajo y llamado es reconciliar a toda persona a Dios y a la comunidad de Dios. Entonces siendo ese su trabajo, ¿qué estrategias usarían para que toda persona pueda renovar o reanudar su relación con Dios, siendo también, si necesario, una persona reconciliada o restaurada a la comunidad? Una…
