In the gospel we have just heard, Jesus tells a shocking story. Perhaps you didn’t experience the shock? Part of the problem is that many of us have heard the parables so often since we were children that we know what’s coming: It’s like watching a movie for the tenth time. Another part of the…
Amados hermanos y hermanas, al llegar a este vigésimo quinto domingo del tiempo propio, alabemos a Dios, Padre-Madre que nos ha dado en su Hijo Jesucristo el don inmerecido de ser sus hijos e hijas; que en este nuevo encuentro de la congregación nuestras mentes y nuestros corazones logren esa necesaria sintonía entre sí y…
In North America, the railroad gauge – the distance between rails – is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. A strange number. Why was that gauge used? Because that’s how railroads were built in England, and English expatriates designed the American railroads. But why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were…
Guardemos un momento de silencio y tomemos conciencia de la presencia de Dios con todos nosotros y en nosotros. Oremos, Oh Santo Dios, Espíritu de la rectitud, Tú que mitigas tus juicios con la misericordia, ayúdanos a vivir el pacto que has escrito en nuestros corazones para que cuando Cristo regrese seamos encontrados propicios para…
Throughout the chapters of the Gospel of Luke previous to today’s reading, the Evangelist again and again and again presents the Good News through telling stories. He illustrates a series of personal encounters between Jesus and others – sometimes with his followers, sometimes his opponents, sometimes strangers. There were crowds of the curious and hopeful…
Señor, que tu gracia siempre nos preceda y acompañe, para que continuamente nos dediquemos a las buenas obras. Con estas palabras tomadas de la colecta del día, doy inicio a este sermón, que más bien es una reflexión sobre las palabras de san Pablo en la segunda carta a Timoteo, el salmo 66 y sobre…
Obedience, a highly prized virtue in the biblical narratives, is rather despised today. Pause for a moment to remember being obedient as a child. Was it required of you? Did you resent it? Do your children resent being obedient to you? Every child resents having to obey parents and teachers, but we all know that…
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en el Señor Jesucristo. La vida humana, por ser social, es impensable sin acuerdos, pactos o alianzas. Todo ser humano nace necesitado, menesteroso, débil y requiere tutelas amorosas; quiere ser libre, pero está rodeado de cautiverios; busca amores definitivos y sublimes y encuentra ofrecimientos interesados. La vida humana es un pacto…
En el evangelio de san Lucas, Jesús habla con los fariseos sobre el uso de las posesiones materiales. Primero, les cuenta la parábola del mayordomo infiel. Jesús trata de enseñarles que se debe usar el dinero de tal manera que permita entrar en la vida eterna (Lucas 16:9). Las posesiones materiales deben servir a un…
Este domingo el evangelio nos presenta el tema de nuestra relación con el dinero. Y para empezar quiero preguntarles ¿quién no tiene problemas con el dinero? Creo que todos tenemos que ver con esto porque todos quisiéramos tener un poco más de lo que tenemos y quizás algunos que tienen suficiente, siguen pensando qué hacer…
[NOTE TO READER: The Latin word dives, in the seventh paragraph, is pronounced “DYE-veez.”] “I always thank the person for asking, even when I don’t have anything to give at the time.” These are the words of Archbishop James Salisbury of the African Orthodox Church in America, about being asked for money by people on the street….
Jesus is not making a whole lot of sense in our gospel today, at least at first blush. He tells the Parable of the Dishonest Manager, and people have beat their heads against this text for generations trying to figure out what in the world he was talking about. Clergy, lay people, seminary professors and…
