Obedience, a highly prized virtue in the biblical narratives, is rather despised today. Pause for a moment to remember being obedient as a child. Was it required of you? Did you resent it? Do your children resent being obedient to you? Every child resents having to obey parents and teachers, but we all know that…
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en el Señor Jesucristo. La vida humana, por ser social, es impensable sin acuerdos, pactos o alianzas. Todo ser humano nace necesitado, menesteroso, débil y requiere tutelas amorosas; quiere ser libre, pero está rodeado de cautiverios; busca amores definitivos y sublimes y encuentra ofrecimientos interesados. La vida humana es un pacto…
En el evangelio de san Lucas, Jesús habla con los fariseos sobre el uso de las posesiones materiales. Primero, les cuenta la parábola del mayordomo infiel. Jesús trata de enseñarles que se debe usar el dinero de tal manera que permita entrar en la vida eterna (Lucas 16:9). Las posesiones materiales deben servir a un…
Este domingo el evangelio nos presenta el tema de nuestra relación con el dinero. Y para empezar quiero preguntarles ¿quién no tiene problemas con el dinero? Creo que todos tenemos que ver con esto porque todos quisiéramos tener un poco más de lo que tenemos y quizás algunos que tienen suficiente, siguen pensando qué hacer…

[NOTE TO READER: The Latin word dives, in the seventh paragraph, is pronounced “DYE-veez.”] “I always thank the person for asking, even when I don’t have anything to give at the time.” These are the words of Archbishop James Salisbury of the African Orthodox Church in America, about being asked for money by people on the street….
Jesus puts before his audience two stories of lost and found. In each case, the one who loses goes to extraordinary efforts to find what is lost. Having recovered it, the finder calls upon the surrounding community to join in rejoicing that the lost has been found. Jesus applies both stories to what happens when…
Celebramos la fiesta de la santa Cruz. Todo el mensaje de las lecturas correspondientes a esta celebración, están orientadas a que creamos en el que Dios ha enviado al mundo y que será levantado en lo alto del madero de la Cruz para que alcancemos la salvación. Dios nos ofrece salvarnos y llevarnos a la…
Vamos a centrar nuestra reflexión en la lectura del evangelio de san Lucas. El evangelio de san Lucas es uno de los más bellos entre los sinópticos porque nos muestra la misericordia divina de una manera palpable. Es el evangelio que nos ofrece dos inmortales parábolas, la del Buen Samaritano y la del Hijo Pródigo….
Imagine coming to church some Sunday morning and reading an entire book of the Bible. In fact, you just did. Well, almost. To be exact, you just read, or heard read to you, an entire book of the Bible – minus four verses. So, for the sake of completion, here are the missing verses from…
