Mary’s time had come. After the long journey, the road to Bethlehem, and the days of worry before that – what would Joseph say when he found out she was pregnant? How did this happen anyway? But Joseph had stood by her, and now the time had finally come, in a strange city, with no…
We always celebrate some aspect of the Annunciation on this Fourth Sunday of Advent. Each year, we hear a different part of the great story involving the Angel Gabriel, Joseph, Mary and her cousin Elizabeth. And all of this foretells the imminent birth of the Savior. In today’s story, the angel says to Mary, “Greetings,…
Con este domingo de Adviento nos acercamos definitivamente a la Navidad; en sólo tres días estaremos celebrando ese maravillo misterio en el que una débil criatura “envuelta en pañales”, nos revela el amor más grande de parte de Dios. Escuchamos hoy en la primera lectura el pasaje del Segundo libro de Samuel donde se pueden…
Inflection is everything. What do Americans call the game of table tennis? Do we say, “ping pong”?

“Comfort ye! … Every valley shall be lifted up and every mountain made low.” What heart-lifting words we hear from our God shouted across the millennia into our very own day. Isaiah offers us images in just 11 verses that have become the focus of artists and musicians who have turned the words into pictures…
Amados hermanos y hermanas, nos volvemos a encontrar en torno a la mesa de la Eucaristía para celebrar la vida, para vivir la experiencia maravillosa de la presencia del Señor. Para este segundo domingo de Adviento la liturgia nos sigue ofreciendo la oportunidad de escuchar esa Palabra consoladora y esperanzadora que nos dirige el Padre….
Imagine traveling in a foreign city where English is not the official language. All the street signs, menus, billboards, bus schedules, everything needed to navigate the streets are in a different language. You stop people on the street for assistance, but it seems no one speaks English. For novice travelers, this could be a scary…
Iniciamos hoy los cristianos de la mayoría de las iglesias históricas, el Año nuevo litúrgico; es decir, las iglesias que se rigen por el Calendario Gregoriano, las iglesias que se rigen por el Calendario Juliano lo harán dentro de algunos días más. Mientras el año civil va llegando a su final, el año litúrgico comienza…
