As our nation celebrates its 235th anniversary, reflection on our liberty, freedom, and relationship with God, the giver of all liberty, is a good exercise. We learn from the passage chosen from Deuteronomy that the foundation of our liberty is conceived in justice, that our “great God … is not partial and takes no bribe…
“Come to me, all you that are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” It didn’t help that…
“The wages of sin is death.” Pulled out of the context of the majestic letter to the church in Rome, this short statement sounds ominous; we have all sinned, according to the same letter. If we read this standing by itself, we might conclude that there is no hope for us. Or we begin to…
Much has been made in the popular press in recent years of so-called “helicopter parents.” Never heard of them? Well, they of course have nothing to do with flying machines. The term refers instead to parents who seem to “hover” over their children constantly, making many of life’s decisions for them – sometimes giving them…
God. Is too big for your brain. You cannot capture nor contain God. In the movie “Three Weddings and Funeral,” the hapless priest repeatedly butchers the name of the Trinity: “In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spicket,” he says at one wedding, and at another, “Father, Son, and Holy Goat.” Which reminds…
The story of the coming of the Holy Spirit in an almost visible form – a form that was perceived by the senses – is one of the most dramatic stories in the New Testament. Ten days have passed since the One who had filled their lives with meaning, then with unbearable sorrow and bewilderment…
La historia en nuestra Sagradas Escrituras nos enseñan el camino de la esperanza. Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a vivir con ánimo. Pedro nos exhorta con las siguientes palabras: “Queridos hermanos en Cristo, no se sorprendan de tener que afrontar problemas que ponen a prueba su confianza en Dios. Eso no es nada extraño”….
The apostles wanted and needed safety. They asked Jesus whether this would not be a good time to restore David’s Kingdom, a moment in the history of Israel when the nation seemed in retrospect to be secure. Jesus’ reply must have increased their insecurity. The women and men who met with Jesus before his Ascension…
La palabra “ascensión” puede tener un sentido muy negativo. Muchas personas están en Estados Unidos porque han salido de sus países escapando la tiranía de alguien que ascendió al poder usando métodos ilegales y se convirtió en un dictador. En este caso, aquel que asciende deja detrás a muchos que son tratados sin la dignidad…
Did you ever wish you were a bit thinner? Or maybe taller? Or had a little bit more hair on your head? Or maybe it’s something more serious, such as an addiction you wished you didn’t have. Or maybe you have had some trauma or grief in your past that you wish wasn’t so present…
