Today is Maundy Thursday, the last Thursday of our annual Lenten observance. The word “Maundy” does not have any meaning in and of itself. It is one of those exotic Episcopal or Anglican terms we sooner or later all become familiar with in our church. Scholars are not even sure of the word’s origin, though…
Martin Luther once said, “That upon which you set your heart and put your trust is properly your god.” Luther was talking about what it means to have a god. He says, “A god means that from which we expect all good and to which we are to take refuge in all distress, so that…
Mary Magdalene is lost in the grief following her rabbi, Jesus’, death. Then there is the shock of finding the tomb empty. She runs to get Peter and the Beloved Disciple, who see the tomb and return home. Mary remains. She is weeping inconsolably when angels ask her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” In her…
The Jesuit priest and renowned teacher on prayer Anthony de Mello suggests an interesting spiritual practice based on the questions of Jesus. He urges us to enter a prayerful state and then imagine that Jesus is asking us one of the questions that he poses in the gospels. Today’s gospel reading presents several questions. The first two…
La tradición respecto al Domingo de Ramos tiene dos momentos importantes. En muchos lugares se acostumbra realizar una procesión antecedida de la lectura del fragmento del evangelio que nos habla de la entrada triunfante de Jesús en Jerusalén y de la bendición de las ramas o palmas. Hagamos de este momento una verdadera experiencia de…

En el primer versículo leemos que “entre la gente que había ido a…
En la lectura de Números encontramos al pueblo israelita en un peregrinaje por el desierto después de haber sido liberados de su esclavitud en Egipto. La trayectoria por el desierto estuvo llena de dificultades: falta de alimentos, escasez de agua y, como nos cuenta la lectura de hoy, las serpientes venenosas representaban otra amenaza más…
Un acercamiento a las lecturas de hoy desde el punto de vista de la experiencia de las comunidades hispanas y latinas, a las cuales nuestra Iglesia Episcopal ha abierto sus puertas puede enriquecernos considerablemente. A medida que la Iglesia Episcopal continúa sus esfuerzos para proveer un espacio para nuestras comunidades hispanas debemos también celebrar el…
In today’s gospel reading we gain a glimpse of Jesus reacting with two of his disciples. Philip and Andrew came to tell him that some Greeks had arrived asking to see him. As he so often did, Jesus answered indirectly. He didn’t say, “Send them away” or “Sure let them come in.” Instead, he took…
When you were a child, were you ever afraid of the dark? Did you imagine all sorts of scary things living in the dark of your closet or under your bed? Did a night-light give you that little bit of reassurance and comfort so that you could go to sleep safely? Most of us grow…
