Imagine thousands of people dressed in white clothes for the Feast of the Epiphany singing, praying, and waiting with anticipation outside a church near the Red Sea in Ethiopia. The faithful sway side-to-side singing praises to God in thanksgiving for Jesus Christ. There are shouts of jubilation when the bishop exits the cathedral holding a…
It’s a tragic thing to witness someone who does not have hope or dreams for the future. Part of our human nature is to envision a better tomorrow and strive for new accomplishments and realities. When this part of our nature dies, the whole person eventually gives up and dies. Many times our deepest desires…
La forma en la que nos comportamos como personas de fe a veces parece un misterio. Muchas personas vienen y van de la iglesia con poco sentido de compromiso. A veces llegamos por necesidad en otras ocasiones se nos nota más en los tiempos de reflexión como por ejemplo durante las épocas de adviento y…
There is something perplexing and difficult at the heart of the Christian faith. This perplexing something is the central value of the Kingdom of God; the primary, identifying characteristic of the Christian Church at its best and the clearest picture we have of our relationship with Jesus and his relationship with us.

Parece imposible que ya hayan pasado seis semanas desde la noche en que encendimos el fuego de la gran vigilia para alumbrar el nuevo cirio pascual.

Today many churches will celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday, especially those parishes and congregations that have “Good Shepherd” in their titles. “The Good Shepherd” is a title that Jesus used for himself in a famous section of the Gospel of John in which he declares, “I am the Good Shepherd.” The passage is so meaningful for…
John’s Gospel ends with four appearances that the resurrected Jesus makes to different groups of disciples: four scenes of Christ revealed alive, four assurances that death could never contain the life that Jesus lived and lives. First, on Easter Day, we heard how Mary encountered Jesus in the garden outside the tomb, and mistook him…
¡Algo magnífico sucedió, algo inexplicable que parece ser imposible! ¡Jesús ha resucitado! María Magdalena, Juana, María madre de Santiago, y las otras mujeres les llevaron la gran noticia a los discípulos. Ya no tienen que buscar al que vive entre los muertos. Jesús se les apareció no solamente una vez, sino dos veces. Ya no…
