At the regular celebration of the Holy Eucharist, we hear these familiar words: “After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, ‘Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many…
“Despiértate, tú que duermes; levántate de entre los muertos, y Cristo te alumbrará.” Una niña que nació con problemas de visión, fue creciendo con su discapacidad y sus padres y demás familiares no lo habían notado, a pesar de que la niña tropezaba muy a menudo. A los tres años de edad la abuela habla…
La oración colecta para este tercer domingo en Cuaresma, contiene una frase que nos invita a la reflexión: “Dios todopoderoso, tú sabes que en nosotros no hay poder para ayudarnos”. Si relacionamos la frase en la oración con los hechos narrados en la primera lectura tomada del libro del Éxodo, entenderemos que hay momentos en…
Muchos de nosotros admiramos a las personas que llamamos los mochileros. Ellos son los turistas estadounidenses y europeos que visitan nuestros países latinoamericanos. Viajan por tierra, usan ropa liviana y cargan una gran mochila con todo lo que necesitan para su viaje. ¿Por qué los admiramos? porque ellos tienen el valor y la actitud aventurera…
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” Martin Luther called John 3:16 “the Gospel in a nutshell.” Without a doubt, this is the most famous verse in the New Testament. And yet, as most preachers…
Being there for one another in times of trouble is harder than it appears on the surface. We often define a friend as someone who will be there for us when we need them, but what does that really mean? Our first instinct when something terrible is happening is to turn away, to run and…
The gospels need to be approached as a sort of unfolding – the unfolding of who Jesus is and what that can mean about who we are called to be. So perhaps it helps to think of a time-lapse video of a flower opening, one petal at a time until the entire flower is open…
What follows is largely based on the teachings of esteemed New Testament scholar John Knox, who wrote extensively about the context of today’s Epistle. Before examining the Romans passage, however, let us focus on the very familiar story in today’s Gospel – the encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well. How did we…
Una maestra de religión, le asigna a su clase una presentación sobre la vida de los santos. Para hacer su tarea, una joven se dirige a la iglesia donde se congrega con su familia. Al llegar al templo se fija en la hermosura de los vitrales que adornan las paredes. Observa cómo la luz penetra…
These long readings from John’s Gospel during Lent have a depth and a power to them that can reach to the very core of our lives. Today we hear about death and new life, about the end of some things, and, perhaps, the beginning of others. Death is always a topic close to home, one…
En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos invita a orar. Nos invita a ser sinceros con nosotros mismos, a entrar en nuestra habitación, a cerrar la puerta y a orar a nuestro Padre que ve en lo secreto. Jesús quiere que tengamos una relación personal con el Padre y, si estamos alejados de esta relación,…
As Lent means Spring in Old English it for sure favors the later Lent timeline of this year; it is always strange when the season begins during the heart of winter. For well over a millennium Lent has traditionally been a time of fasting. Communities would fast in various ways, abstaining from food or certain…
