[RCL] Exodus 12:1-4, (5-10), 11-14; Psalm 116:1, 10-17; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; John 13:1-17, 31b-35 Welcome to Maundy Thursday. Welcome to the feast of God’s boundless hospitality. If you have ever been the person who was not invited to the party, this feast is for you, for all are invited here. If you have ever been…
[RCL] Isaiah 50:4-9a; Psalm 70; Hebrews 12:1-3; John 13:21-32 As we continue our journey through Holy Week, our attempt to be faithful to Jesus in his hour of need, we need to ask: what prevents us from following him? What drives us away from his presence? What keeps us from living up to our aspirations…
LCR: Josué 5:9–12; Salmo 32; 2 Corintios 5:16–21; San Lucas 15:1–3, 11b–32 ¡Qué grata coincidencia la que vivimos el día de hoy, hermanos y hermanas! Celebramos el cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma, también conocido como Domingo de Laetare, y leemos el hermoso y también conocido texto del “padre misericordioso” o del “hijo pródigo”. Y digo que…
[RCL] Isaiah 49:1-7; Psalm 71:1-14; 1 Corinthians 1:18-31; John 12:20-36 There’s a song by Michael Joncas called On Eagle’s Wings. Part of the lyrics read: “You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,who abide in His shadow for life,say to the Lord, “My refuge, my rock in whom I trust!”And He will raise you…
[RCL] Isaiah 42:1-9; Psalm 36:5-11; Hebrews 9:11-15; John 12:1-11 Our Gospel lesson is a hinge text. It concludes the first half of John’s Gospel, which scholars name “the Book of Signs.” It also prepares for the second half of the Gospel, which scholars call either “the Book of Glory” or “the Book of the Passion.”…
[RCL] Isaiah 50:4-9a; Psalm 31:9-16; Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 23:1-49 There are times when the enormity of the Passion Story, in all its stark simplicity, pushes us to our knees and breaks our hearts anew. Yes, we do read portions of this drama whenever we celebrate the Holy Eucharist, but hearing it whole, from the somber…
[RCL] Isaiah 43:16-21; Psalm 126; Philippians 3:4b-14; John 12:1-8 Despite the run-of-the-mill way that John narrates this dinner party with Jesus, there is a kind of shocking absurdity to it all. Taken together with the preceding chapter, the scene unfolds like this: Word reaches Jesus that his beloved friend Lazarus is gravely ill. He sets…
LCR: Éxodo 3:1-15; Salmo 63:3-8; 1 Corintio 10:1-13; San Lucas 13:1–9 “¿Piensan ustedes que esto les pasó a esos hombres de Galilea por ser ellos más pecadores que los otros de su país? Les digo que no…” (San Lucas 13:2-3a). En esta lectura nos encontramos a Jesús utilizando un discurso un poco diferente; hasta pareciera que…
LCR: Génesis 15:1–12, 17–18; Salmo 27; Filipenses 3:17–4:1; San Lucas 13:31–35 El texto del libro del Génesis que hemos leído hoy puede transportarnos a historias similares que han pasado a través de los siglos. Un ejemplo fue lo que hicieron Leland Stanford y su esposa Jane Lathrop Stanford, una pareja con muchísimo dinero y bienes…
[RCL] Joshua 5:9-12; Psalm 32; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 During Lent, it can be easy to view the season of penitence as one focused on sin, separation, and shame. We can use Lenten disciplines as a way to self-flagellate, wear sackcloth and ashes, bear the crosses of giving up chocolate or committing to…
[RCL] Exodus 3:1-15; Psalm 63:1-8; 1 Corinthians 10:1-13; Luke 13:1-9 The enslaved Israelites suffered under the Egyptians’ hands. Those Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with sacrifices certainly suffered. Those who were killed by the tower of Siloam suffered a brutal tragedy. Humanity suffers. That suffering is common – an inextricable part of our human experience…
[RCL] Genesis 15:1-12,17-18; Psalm 27; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35 These days, there is no shortage of material when it comes to difficult news. News of an ongoing pandemic. News of violence, oppression, and communities pitted against one another. News of death and loss – not to mention the difficult moments in our personal lives. We…
