In today’s Gospel, St. John uses a fascinating image that most of our Bible translations miss. Some of us are accustomed to hearing this majestic and abstract prologue to John’s mystical-leaning Gospel: “The Word became flesh and lived among us.” But we aren’t so used to hearing this: “Jesus became flesh and pitched a tent…
Hoy, primer domingo después de Navidad continuamos la celebración del nacimiento de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo con gozo y alegría. Mantenemos latente en nuestro corazón todo lo que implica esta fiesta de Navidad. Por encima de todo y al centro de esta celebración vivimos una y otra vez el mensaje maravilloso que Dios nos transmite hoy:…
Words fail. Stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon. Feel the wind rising off the canyon walls. See the light dappling in the crevices of the great chasm. Then try to describe this in words. For those who have stood there for themselves, your experience will bring back their own. But tell of feelings…
Why are we here today? That’s actually a more complex question than we might think. Many of us are here out of habit and/or tradition. We’re here either because we come to this church every Sunday and Christmas Day is part of the deal, or we’re here because we simply always go to church on…
Christmas is not an event. Christmas is not a holiday. Christmas is not a church service. Christmas is not a set of familiar carols or decorations of red and green or a jolly man in a red suit with eight tiny reindeer. Christmas is not an occasion or a party or a festival. It is…
“En el principio existía la Palabra y la Palabra estaba con Dios y la Palabra era Dios”. Con estas palabras el evangelista Juan nos introduce el cuarto evangelio y establece con claridad meridiana que todo lo que existe y tiene su ser se origina en y por la Palabra. Esa Palabra decidió establecer su morada…
Arriba en la montaña hay tres mujeres que proclaman. Del viaje solidario a la buena noticia de salvación. El evangelista Lucas nos propone una historia llena de movimientos y dinamismo en este cuarto domingo de Adviento. Así que les invito a pensar que este es un domingo de acción en el contexto de este tiempo…
Why start with this miracle? In John’s Gospel, the first of Jesus’ signs—what the other Gospels call “miracles”—was turning water into wine. Jesus’ first sign that inspired his disciples to believe in him was not healing a sick person, bringing someone back from the dead, forgiving sins, or exorcizing a demon. It was making gallons…
I want to talk a bit about the Baptism of Jesus, about what it means. The place to start, of course, is with the story we just heard. We heard the first part of it just a few weeks ago. Remember how John was at the Jordan River (the place where the people of Israel…
La primera lectura de hoy, tomada del libro del profeta Sofonías, expresa el sentimiento de este tercer domingo de Adviento: “¡Canta, ciudad de Sión! ¡Da voces de alegría, pueblo de Israel! ¡Alégrate, Jerusalén, alégrate de todo corazón!” Hoy celebramos el domingo de júbilo, el cual es simbolizado por el color rosado de la tercera vela…
