Hoy, en este tercer domingo de Pascua, la palabra de Dios que hemos proclamado y escuchado está cargada de imágenes espectaculares nos motivan a seguir profundizando en el misterio de la resurrección del Señor Jesucristo, misterio que solo podemos entender y aceptar desde la fe, partiendo del testimonio de unos discípulos, testigos presenciales que compartieron…

Jeremías 18:1-11 y Salmo 139:1-5, 13-17 (o Deuteronomio 30:15-20 y Salmo 1); Filemón 1-20; Lucas 14:25-33 Las cruces vienen en muchas y variadas formas, y muchas veces nos llegan cuando menos lo esperamos, sea una llamada por teléfono, un accidente, una noticia inesperada, así nos enteramos de muchas cosas, una enfermedad, la pérdida de un…

LCR: Isaías 43:16–21; Salmo 126; Filipenses 3:4b–14; San Juan 12:1–8 Los expertos bíblicos atribuyen los capítulos cuarenta a cincuenta y cinco, del libro de Isaías, a un Deuteroisaías (segundo Isaías), dando a entender que en la compilación de este libro profético hay más de un autor. Este Deuteroisaías es también un gran profeta; es una…

[RCL] 1 Samuel 3:1-10 (11-20); Psalm 139:1-5, 12-17; 1 Corinthians 6:12-20; John 1:43-51 This sermon, written by the Rev. Curtis Farr, originally ran for Epiphany 2 (B) in 2018.

Miles from civilization, the pilot assumes he will only last as long as his water supply, but one morning he is awakened by a funny little voice that says,…

Isaiah 5:1-7 Isaiah’s poetic lament is a masterful piece of irony that can be read on different levels. In its literal imagery, it speaks of the disappointment that must have been as well known to farmers in ancient Israel as it is in our own time: after days and weeks of tedious labor, one may…

“Rise and anoint him; for this is the one.” — 1 Samuel 16:12 Remember that survey course of English literature you took back in high school or college? You probably used a textbook that was, in essence, a collection or anthology of literary classics representing the wisdom of many centuries and cultures. It was a…

Dios nos ama y bendice. En el día de Pentecostés celebramos el descenso del Espíritu Santo sobre los Apóstoles. Jesús, antes de su regreso al Padre, hace una promesa a sus discípulos: “No los voy a dejar solos”. Jesús hizo esta promesa a sus seguidores y la cumple en el día 50 o quincuagésimo desde…

Last Sunday’s gospel was really fun – Peter’s answering for the disciples that Jesus is much more than people were saying he was – that he was the Messiah. Fun because Jesus affirmed them and even told Peter he was a rock on which he would build the church. Fun for us, because we can…
