“Throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.” In today’s reading from the Gospel of Mark, we may imagine the cloak was given to Bartimaeus by his mother. Giving him the cloak was one thing she could do for her son, for whom she always felt a mix of grief and pity,…
This morning, may we dare to run through the field of thorns and find the great treasure that awaits us there. In the name of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Today’s gospel passage catches our attention because it addresses marriage and divorce in a way that’s unavoidable. Many preachers would like to bypass this…
Today’s story of the Rich Young Ruler is one of the most familiar in the gospels. This may be due, in part, to the fact that it occurs in more than one gospel. In addition to Mark’s account, almost identical stories can be found in Matthew and Luke. It is familiarity with all three of…
En las lecturas correspondientes a este domingo, el mensaje de la Palabra nos destaca, la libertad de acción del Espíritu de Dios y los recursos que regala a los que elige para su servicio. Moisés y Jesús, en la primera y tercera lectura, muestran una actitud abierta, no así sus discípulos. A Josué, el ayudante…
Este domingo nos encontramos con un mensaje que es difícil de entender porque va en contra de nuestra cultura actual. Hoy descubrimos la actitud del triunfalismo y la competitividad para ganar. Pensamos que solo el que triunfa es el que es reconocido y el que ha escogido la mejor parte, sin embargo, existe otra sabiduría…
Hoy tenemos en el evangelio uno de esos momentos en el que parece que Jesús hace un desprecio a una persona que le pide ayuda y no pertenece al pueblo judío. Es sirio fenicia y además es una gran mujer, pues nos da una buena lección. Para entenderla déjenme platicarles de otra gran mujer que…
En todo el mensaje de la palabra de Dios correspondiente a este domingo, hay una clara referencia al cumplimiento del mandamiento de Dios y de la ley como requisito para obtener la felicidad y el gozo deseado. Por eso Moisés, responsable para conducir al pueblo de Israel a la tierra prometida los exhorta diciéndoles: “Ahora,…
Who is Jesus? Have you ever been asked that question? Have you asked it of yourself? Or does this seem like nonsense? It would seem natural to think that after 2,000 years of Christian history, we should not have to pose such an inquiry. We might add that it’s obvious – Jesus is our Lord…
Where is the Good News in today’s gospel? Jesus casts out a demon and heals a deaf man, and that might be enough good news; but this lesson begins with a woman getting rough treatment from Jesus. In our current age of political spin, it’s hard to imagine why the author of Mark included this…
What starts out with the disciples trying to score points with Jesus for stopping someone who is doing the work of the kingdom – healing and casting out demons – ends with Jesus telling us all to be salted with fire! In between there is all this talk of stumbling around and lopping off limbs,…
