Friends, we are almost there. We have been on this Lenten road since Ash Wednesday: about 28 of our 40 days. We are in the home stretch. As Tom Petty so wisely put it, “the waiting is the hardest part.” Throughout this Lenten season we have been reading long stretches from the Gospel According to…
En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos invita a orar. Nos invita a ser sinceros con nosotros mismos, a entrar en nuestra habitación, a cerrar la puerta y a orar a nuestro Padre que ve en lo secreto. Jesús quiere que tengamos una relación personal con el Padre y, si estamos alejados de esta relación,…
The story we just heard about Jesus talking with a Samaritan woman at the well outside Sychar is a story full of surprises. The first surprise is that the conversation happens at all. The barriers to it are great. Jesus is a Jew and the woman is a Samaritan. Between Samaritan and Jew there is…
Lent draws the faithful – sometimes kicking and screaming – to a period of spiritual preparation and renewal in anticipation of the coming jubilance of Eastertide. Throughout the history of the church, candidates for Holy Baptism would often engage in rigorous study, prayer and fasting during Lent. It was also the time when those who…
In our Old Testament lesson, we find a test case for free will in the Garden of Eden. We humans usually have good excuses to offer for the bad choices we make. Like Jean Valjean in Victor Hugo’s novel “Les Misérables” who steals bread to feed his sister’s family. Or we can look to someone…
Today’s gospel text almost comes as a relief: Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them. It’s a relief because we can be fairly reluctant to show signs of piety before others, especially when we’re outside of our worship service. If you want to get strange looks, read your…
El último domingo después de la Epifanía, Domingo de Transfiguración, es también la Jornada Misionera Mundial. Qué apropiado. “Misión” se deriva de la palabra latina mittere, que significa “enviar”. Entró en el léxico cristiano en el siglo 16 durante la era de los descubrimientos y la expansión del poder imperialista europea al “Nuevo Mundo”. Sin embargo,…
The Last Sunday After the Epiphany, Transfiguration Sunday, is also World Mission Sunday. How appropriate. “Mission” is derived from the Latin word mittere, which means “to send.” It entered the Christian lexicon in the 16th century during the Age of Discovery and the expansion of imperialistic European power to the “New World.” However, the concept of…
El cristianismo es un organismo vivo que Dios nos ha regalado para ser agente de cambio y perfección para el mundo. En este domingo séptimo de la epifanía nos regala de Jesús una de sus grandes novedades, como es la de rescatar el sentido profundo de la ley de Israel, para ponerla al servicio de…
El mensaje que nos presenta hoy la Palabra tiene como destinatarios “a hombres (y mujeres) espirituales” (1 Cor. 3:1). Quienes están acostumbrados “como los niños de pecho a beber solamente leche y no comida sólida” (1 Cor. 3:2) pueden indigestarse con la palabra que Jesús va a pronunciar sobre la relación con los hermanos en…
