“Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us.” When cooks attending services in villages all over England would hear these words from the Collect of the Day, they would hurry home afterward to stir up the fruity batter that had been fermenting in their kitchens for weeks, the prime ingredient…
Isaías 11:1-10; Salmo 72:1-7,18-19; Romanos 15:4-13; Mateo 3:1-12 ¿No tienen ustedes algún pariente, hermano, prima, tío, o un amigo que siempre les dice la mera verdad y a la misma vez no le importa si te hace sentir mal? No es que ese pariente quiera ser malo con ustedes, al contrario, lo hace para ayudar,…
On the twelfth of October, thirty-three trapped Chilean miners ascended to the surface of the earth. As spectacular as that event was, their exodus might never have happened were it not for the miners’ faith in action. Theirs is a story worth telling. It will deepen our appreciation of what should be a gentle season,…
Isaías 2:1-5; Salmo 122; Romanos 13:11-14; Mateo 24:36-44 Adviento, tiempo de espera y esperanza.

En el contexto estadounidense, es bueno entender el trasfondo histórico de esta celebración, que no solamente enfatiza el dar gracias por las bendiciones recibidas, sino que se ha convertido en una oportunidad…
From the perspective of our church, Thanksgiving Day is in something of an odd situation. The Prayer Book calls it a major feast, yet its origins are civic as well as churchly. It is widely observed by the people of this land, but the church in other countries generally does not keep Thanksgiving Day, at…
Jeremías 23:1-5; Salmo 46; Colosenses 1:11-20; Lucas 23:33-43 Queridos hermanos y hermanas: con esta fiesta dedicada a Cristo Rey termina el año litúrgico. Las lecturas correspondientes a este domingo, partiendo con el profeta Jeremías, pasando por el apóstol Pablo y terminando con el evangelio de san Lucas, nos dan una clara referencia de que Cristo…
Sometimes, people want to know why, in the Gloria, we use the phrase “sin of the world,” singular, rather than “sins of the world,” plural. Good question. But first let’s start with today’s gospel reading. Jesus is mocked. He is on the cross, suffering the additional abuse of soldiers and criminals. “Some King you are!…
