Elijah and Elisha. What an epic story. It’s pure Hollywood! Mix together “Lord of the Rings,” Harry Potter and Indiana Jones, and this would give just some of the ingredients. There are wicked kings and queens (they featured a couple of weeks ago), wild-bearded ascetic revolutionaries (that’s Elijah), wide-eyed acolyte disciples eager to drink from…
“Para ser libres nos ha liberado Cristo” (Gálatas 5:1). Con esta afirmación radical, con que Pablo se dirige a la comunidad de los gálatas, quisiera que nos acercáramos a la Palabra de Dios, la cual exige desde la experiencia del discipulado total “libertad” para seguirle a aquel que permanentemente nos llama, pues “hemos sido llamados…
People old enough to have been adults during the turbulent ’60s will remember how controversial Martin Luther King, Jr., was at the time. It was said that he and his people had no right to stir things up with all his confrontational tactics. In the South they said he didn’t understand the negro’s place, nor…
If Elijah and Jezebel were after me, I’d run, too! Elijah was so afraid, he wished he might just die, but God had other plans for him as God often does for us. This is a wonderful story from today’s reading from First Kings about one of the great prophets who is so human in…
Amados hermanos y hermanas, abramos nuestra mente y dispongamos nuestro corazón para dejarnos llenar de la Palabra del Señor que en este séptimo domingo del tiempo ordinario nos invita de una manera muy especial a mantener nuestro compromiso de construir comunidad con todo lo que ello implica: amor, comprensión y solidaridad con los demás. Nos…
Jesus had a marvelous way of confronting people who held worldly beliefs, by turning their views upside down, shaking them out, so his listeners could understand the deeper realities of God. He was a genius at bringing his message down to a common-sense level – often by telling stories, sharply driving home a point leading…
Todo el contenido de la palabra de este domingo nos habla del amor y la misericordia de Dios para perdonar los pecados. La Biblia nos recuerda hoy, la historia del rey David, perdonado por Dios (2 Samuel 11:26); y la pecadora perdonada por Jesús en la casa de Simón el fariseo (Lucas 7: 38-8:3). En…
A widow is walking a dusty road. The sun is in the sky, making shadows on the mud-brick walls and simple dusty streets of Nain. The town sits on the edge of a wide and beautiful valley, but the widow doesn’t notice, because today her life has ended. She has lost her last connection to…
En la mañana del año nuevo de 1994 en la ciudad de San Cristóbal de las Casas en Chiapas México, un acontecimiento sin precedentes despertó a toda la población. Un grupo de indígenas se levantó en contra del gobierno mexicano, tomando por sorpresa a los puestos militares de esa ciudad, los puestos de la policía…
The Bible stories appointed for today have a considerable resonance. That is actually something quite unusual in these days of the Revised Common Lectionary, as the lessons are no longer chosen to relate to each other. The resonance, therefore, is more coincidence than a result of any intentionality. First, we have the prophet Elijah speaking…
