2 Samuel 23:1-7 “These are the last words of David,” the writer tells us. Whether they were composed by King David himself or (more likely) a group of compilers later, these verses tell a very different story of David’s life than the chapters of 1 and 2 Samuel that precede them. King David was an…
1 Samuel 2:1-10 En este cántico extático, profético y potente, somos testigos del júbilo de una mujer que ha experimentado un milagro. Sus palabras nos resultan familiares, oímos algunas semejantes brotar de labios de María cuando ella también concibe un hijo excepcional. En un mundo teñido de zonas grises, puede ser difícil decir con absoluta…
1 Samuel 2:1-10 In this ecstatic, prophetic and powerful song we witness a woman’s joy from experiencing a miracle. Her words are familiar, we hear similar ones erupt from the mouth of Mary when she too conceives a special child. In a world colored with grey areas, it can be difficult to say with certainty…

Ruth 3:1-5; 4:13-17 Naomi’s and Ruth’s family is on the brink of extinction. Both are widows, both destitute, and Ruth is a Moabite, a non-Israelite, an outsider.

Sabiduría 3: 1-9 Este pasaje de la Sabiduría se lee el Día de Todos los Santos y en muchos funerales, ya que consuela a aquellos que han experimentado la muerte de un ser querido.

Wisdom 3:1-9 This passage from Wisdom is read on All Saints Day and at many funerals because it gives comfort to those who have experienced the death of a loved one. When we watch someone suffer and die it seems like disaster, destruction, or maybe even punishment. But the writer draws us up to a…
Ruth 1:1-18 Naomi finds herself in a foreign land without any means of support. Her husband and two sons have died.

Job 42: 1-6, 10-17 Si algún personaje bíblico soportó el sufrimiento, fue, sin duda, Job. Perdió cultivos, bienes, miembros de la familia, y la salud. Job tuvo que haber tenido esa sensación incierta que cualquier de nosotros experimentamos cuando perdemos a alguien o algo importante para nosotros. ¿Por qué permitirá Dios que suceda esto? ¿Dónde…
Job 42:1-6, 10-17 If any biblical character endured suffering, it was undoubtedly Job. He lost crops, property, family members, and his health. Job must have had that uncertain feeling that any of us experience when we lose someone or something important to us. Why would God let this happen? Where is God in all of…
