“So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” At first sight the lessons today seem to give us confusing messages. On the one hand we are called by Saint Paul “stewards of the mysteries of God.” On the other hand Jesus tells us…
Todos hemos llegado a donde estamos viniendo por diferentes caminos. Puede ser que hayamos venido de países lejanos, puede que hayamos cruzado la frontera de México, o puede que hayamos nacido en este país, pero, para llegar al punto en que nos encontramos en nuestras vidas, cada persona ha debido tomar muchas decisiones. Cuando uno…
Let’s begin with an excerpt from The New Yorker magazine, from an article by Malcolm Gladwell. It’s about, of all things, automobile safety – or the lack of it – and one man’s tragic automobile accident, now more than a decade ago. Quote: “Robert Day’s crash was not the accident of a young man. He…
The family arrived on a warm June day: a mother, grandmother, and five children ranging in ages from 17 to 3. As they scrambled out of the van, it was apparent just how tired they were. Some time ago this family had traveled from a refugee camp in Cameroon to Darfur, Sudan. There they caught…
El evangelio de hoy nos coloca como atentos oyentes de lo que comúnmente se llama Oración Sacerdotal. Cristo, antes de entregarse por los suyos, ruega por ellos. Éstos no son sólo sus discípulos sino todos sus seguidores, de todos los tiempos, incluyendo los de la época actual. Éstas son sus últimas palabras. En este evangelio…
Thursday was the Feast of the Ascension. Alas, because so few of us attend weekday feasts, most parishes celebrate the Ascension on this Sunday following the feast. Because we celebrate the major feasts of the church with hindsight and developed reflection, we miss the intense emotions that those events caused for the ones who initially…
At first reading, the words of Jesus in this passage from John are not very inspiring. “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” It is that little word “if.” From our grandparents down to our grandchildren, we have all lived with or kept company with people who talk as though their love for…
What is a home? When you think of the word or image or idea of a home, what comes to mind? Perhaps you think of a building, made with wood and plaster, or brick and mortar. Perhaps you think of home as a shelter from the storm, a place of refuge. Perhaps when you hear…
Jesús dijo, “he venido para que tengan vida, y la tengan en abundancia”. “Abundancia” en nuestras vidas no es lo mismo que una vida abundante. Abundancia en nuestras vidas no quiere decir que seamos dueños de muchas cosas. Jesús prometió algo diferente al materialismo. Nos ofrece una vida plena que no se puede medir, ni…
This Fourth Sunday of Easter is known as Good Shepherd Sunday. In all three lectionary years—A, B, and C—we read the Good Shepherd monologue from the tenth chapter of John. It is a complicated passage, in that Jesus identifies himself as being the Good Shepherd, the Gatekeeper, and even the Gate to the sheep-fold. And…
