Hoy celebramos el quinto domingo de Cuaresma. El mensaje central de las lecturas de este día es la Nueva Alianza. No cabe duda de que en los profetas se da una nueva experiencia de Dios. En la Biblia se nos describe la relación del hombre con Dios como una alianza. La primera alianza de Dios…
La lectura del evangelio según San Juan que acabamos de escuchar le sigue al diálogo entre Nicodemo y Jesús. Nicodemo es uno de los líderes religiosos judíos quien, por temor al juicio de sus compañeros, secretamente y en la oscuridad de la noche busca a Jesús. Es en esta conversación que encontramos tal vez uno…
Are there any who are devout lovers of God? Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival! Are there any who are grateful servants? Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord! Are there any weary with fasting? Let them now receive their wages! If any have toiled from the first hour, let…
May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer. Today we have heard some of the most beautiful, painful, heart-wrenching passages of scripture, juxtaposed with one of the holiest, most beautiful, painful, heart-wrenching moments of the Christian story. Jesus, our…
“Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.” Jesus’ time is running short. We are not strangers to the idea of a person’s last days of life. Because we know that we will all die, we often find ways to think about both our own last days and…
Suffering is not something we do well, generally speaking. Suffering is not something we seek out, not something we cultivate, not something we practice so we can do it even better. No, suffering is something we avoid—or try to avoid—as best we can. And, when you come right down to it, suffering is not something…
La palabra de Dios que proclamamos en este tiempo de cuaresma nos va preparando para aceptar el camino de la cruz como la única vía que nos lleva a la vida verdadera. Hoy el evangelista san Juan nos presenta a Jesús purificando el templo de Jerusalén con una actitud que inquieta y confunde a sus…
In our Episcopal tradition, it was Palm Sunday yesterday. Jesus has entered Jerusalem. We are beginning Holy Week, and Jesus is walking closer and closer toward the cross. In today’s Gospel, Jesus is at Bethany, attending a dinner party hosted by Martha, Mary, and their brother Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead a…
How did this happen? How did Jesus’ life of peace end in such a violent death? We stand at the edge of this moment, looking on in horror and confusion — just as Jesus’ followers did on the day he was crucified. The violence we have seen is numbing: it robs us of the ability…
Las lecturas del libro de Génesis y del evangelio de Marcos nos invitan a reflexionar sobre el concepto cristiano de la fe en Dios. ¿Qué es la fe? ¿Cómo la vivimos de día en día? Las historias de Abrahán y Sara y la invitación que Jesucristo le hizo a sus discípulos y a las comunidades,…
Some foreigners, outsiders, show up for the festival. They say, “We wish to see Jesus.” Philip runs to Andrew and presumably says something along the lines of, “Hey, there are all these foreigners who want to see Jesus! What should we do?” Andrew obviously has no answers. Who wants foreigners around at a time like…
If you are uncomfortable around snakes, this might not be your Sunday! But, if you can set that discomfort aside, you will be treated to an insight about how the ancient Hebrew Bible reading from Numbers connects with the Gospel reading from John. If you were running from something, brutal slave labor, for example, you…
