Si el Señor no hubiera sido mi ayuda,mi alma pronto habría habitado en la tierra del silencio.Cuando pensé: «Mi pie resbala», tu amor constante, oh Señor, me sostuvo. Cuando las preocupaciones de mi corazón son muchas,tus consuelos alegran mi alma. (Salmo 94:17-19) Acompáñanos cada semana mientras compartimos nuevas oraciones por los más vulnerables entre nosotros…

On the third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. How many weddings have you been to in your life? Can you remember what all those brides wore, the music that was played, the songs you danced to at the reception? Whether you enjoy weddings or dread them, they make an impression. You…

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.

“I go to prepare a place for you. … I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.” It sounds so wonderful. It sounds perhaps like what we imagine heaven to be. If that’s so, then it’s a future place, a place that we…

What does it feel like to have less than a week to live? That’s the situation in which Jesus finds himself when he makes his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The crowds don’t know what’s coming.

RCL: Exodus 34:29-35; Psalm 99; 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2; Luke 9:28-36, [37-43a] Exodus 34:29-35 In this passage, Moses departs from the presence of God after receiving the Ten Commandments. He is not aware that his time with God has changed his appearance. But when he gets back to the Israelites’ encampment, they are astonished to see…

[RCL] Isaiah 43:16-21; Psalm 126; Philippians 3:4b-14; John 12:1-8 Despite the run-of-the-mill way that John narrates this dinner party with Jesus, there is a kind of shocking absurdity to it all. Taken together with the preceding chapter, the scene unfolds like this: Word reaches Jesus that his beloved friend Lazarus is gravely ill. He sets…

LCR: Josué 5:9–12; Salmo 32; 2 Corintios 5:16–21; San Lucas 15:1–3, 11b–32 ¡Qué grata coincidencia la que vivimos el día de hoy, hermanos y hermanas! Celebramos el cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma, también conocido como Domingo de Laetare, y leemos el hermoso y también conocido texto del “padre misericordioso” o del “hijo pródigo”. Y digo que…

Oh Dios de inmutable poder y eterna luz: mira favorablemente a toda tu Iglesia, ese maravilloso y sagrado misterio; por el eficaz trabajo de tu providencia, lleva a cabo en tranquilidad el plan de salvación; deja que todo el mundo vea y sepa que las cosas que han sido abatidas están siendo levantadas, y las…
