Is there anything quite as wonderful as the smell of freshly baked bread? The ingredients are so simple – yeast, flour, eggs, butter, water, salt – but the smell when it comes out of the oven is heavenly. And what could be better than eating fresh hot bread? Slice open a loaf that is still…
A deep spiritual hunger is implanted in every human heart. Different people will seek to fill this need in different ways, but the hunger is not unique. People yearn for a deeper connection, an eternal spiritual connection, and when that is lacking will seek any means to be fulfilled. Jesus said he came that we…
Una vez más nos congregamos como familia para compartir el triple alimento que nos fortalecerá durante esta semana que iniciamos: la vivencia del espíritu comunitario, el pan de la Palabra y el pan Eucarístico; esto es, Jesús mismo que se nos entrega en cuerpo y sangre. Una idea o, si se prefiere mejor, una imagen…
Hermanos y hermanas, la palabra de Dios que escuchamos este domingo tiene muchas enseñanzas que, llevándolas a la práctica, seguramente pueden hacer de nosotros personas completamente nuevas si en verdad nos esforzamos por hacer a un lado nuestros egoísmos y nuestra indiferencia respecto a los demás. Abramos nuestro corazón y nuestra mente y digámosle al…
En todo el proyecto de la historia de la salvación, Dios se ha servido de la actuación de los profetas para educar y orientar a su pueblo hacia la salvación. Pero la misión de los verdaderos profetas siempre ha estado expuesta al rechazo, a la persecución y en muchas ocasiones hasta pagar con la muerte….
Una de las vocaciones más difíciles de realizar es la de ser profeta. La mayoría de los elegidos para esta misión, en un principio, se han sentido débiles e impotentes ante el rigor de llevar la palabra en nombre de Dios. Pero precisamente es la Palabra la que se encarga de fortalecer a los escogidos…
Today’s readings reinforce for us the undeniable reality that suffering is not unique to us or to our times, and that we know very little about the ultimate meaning of death. Wars, hunger, economic disasters abound and bring us to despair; personal illness, pain, and loss in our families cause us to lose hope. Sometimes…
“David was 30 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for forty years. … David occupied the stronghold, and named it the City of David. David built the city all around from the Millo inward. And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.” There is something…
“John, whom I’ve beheaded, has been raised!” Herod must have been terrified. A man like Herod, who relied on treachery, questionable political moves, the power gained through wealth, is confronted with his worst nightmare. He knew John was dead. He saw his head – yes, through a haze of drunkenness – but he saw the…
“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” It’s tough to imagine a more unsettling teaching for Americans to hear on Independence Day than this passage from the Sermon on the Mount. Resisting evil doers, turning the other cheek and praying for those who persecute us are not things we seem to do very…
We humans are great builders – towns and turbines, subways and satellites, farms and factories. We can take justifiable pride in these accomplishments, but too often we tend to do our building for all the wrong reasons. Remember the Genesis story of the Tower of Babel? Those builders achieved amazing things – they were on…
The world is a hungry place. People are hungry for food, for jobs, for love, for care, for leadership that cares. The list of our hunger goes on and on. What the Bible knows is what we all know – all of our hunger centers around a spiritual void. We are hungry for God. That…
