Have you ever noticed that wherever food is present, Jesus is there? As often as he was praying, he was sharing food. Late in his ministry, he even identified himself with bread and wine – staples in the Mediterranean diet, then as now. Food: It nourishes, brings pleasure and comfort, fills us up – sometimes…
Each year, we hear the story of the Transfiguration twice – once on the Last Sunday After Epiphany and again on August 6, the Feast of the Transfiguration. It is a narrative common to all three synoptic gospels: Matthew, Mark and Luke. Moses and Elijah, long-deceased prophets of Israel, appear on a mountain with Jesus,…
Continuamos con el relato del reino de los Cielos por parte de Jesús mediante parábolas llamadas “del Reino de los Cielos”, parábolas cortas que van llevando el mensaje del Señor a sus seguidores, principalmente a sus discípulos. La primera de ellas dice: “Jesús también les contó esta parábola: ‘El reino de los cielos es como…
Hemos venido exponiendo y analizando las parábolas del reino de Dios, comparaciones que nos llevan a entender lo que significa reino de Dios y la manera cómo obra en y entre nosotros. Pero surge una pregunta o quizás varias ¿qué es el Reino de Dios? Respondamos con la misma Palabra de Dios: “está en el…

If you go into any gym and find the section where people are pumping iron, you will hear a lot of grunting and groaning. Weightlifters often groan. They groan as they strain to push weights off of their chests, or over their heads, or pull and heave them off the floor. Engines straining also groan….
In the Finger Lakes region of central New York, you can find a delicious and unique treat: concord grape pie. Like many other places in the United States, there are a variety of bakeries and shops in the small towns nestled among the winding roads. They sell all sorts of pies, but grape pie is…
En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús emplea la palabra “padre” cinco veces, las cuales pronuncia en relación consigo mismo, al reconocerse como hijo de Dios. De igual manera debemos repetir nosotros la misma palabra muchas veces al día para invocar al que nos creó, al que debemos la vida y todo lo que somos y…
Today’s reading from Matthew’s gospel is quite a contrast to what we’ve been hearing Jesus say lately. For most of the last few weeks, Jesus has been talking about the cost of discipleship – the certainty of persecution, conflict, suffering and painful division for those who choose to follow him. “Leave it all behind, pick…
