    Unhindered in Mind and Body

    Graciously keep us from all adversity, so that, unhindered in mind and body alike, we may pursue in freedom of heart the things that are yours.

    El alma y el cuerpo bien dispuestos

    Aparta de nosotros todos los males, para que, con el alma y el cuerpo bien dispuestos, podamos con libertad de espíritu cumplir lo que es de tu agrado.

    ¿Estás perdido? Está bien.

    No necesitamos intentar demostrar cuán buenos y piadosos somos, debemos reconocer que somos pecadores, que estamos perdidos y que necesitamos a alguien que pueda salvarnos, que pueda encuéntranos.

    Are you lost? That’s ok.

    We don’t need to try to prove how good and pious we are, we need to recognize that we are sinners, that we are lost, and that we are in need of someone that can save us, that can “find” us.

    Go ahead, try to make yourself happy.

    Thinking you are an exception to the condition of sin, thinking, “No, I’m a good person,” or, “I’m really happy right now, I’m living my best life,” is only preventing you from receiving the happiness and fulfillment only God can give.

    Adelante, trata de hacerte feliz.

    Pensar que eres una excepción a la condición del pecado, pensar, “No, soy una buena persona” o “Estoy realmente feliz ahora, estoy viviendo mi mejor vida”, solo te impide recibir la felicidad y la satisfacción que solo Dios puede dar.

    Gratitude Is Necessary

    It is gratitude that opens our heart, that breaks down our walls, and that turns us toward the Giver. Without gratitude, we become closed in on ourselves, trapped in our own solitude, and everything becomes boring and flat.

    La gratitud es necesaria

    Es la gratitud lo que abre nuestro corazón, lo que derriba nuestros muros y lo que nos vuelve hacia el Dador. Sin gratitud, nos encerramos en nosotros mismos, atrapados en nuestra propia soledad, y todo se vuelve aburrido y plano.

    The victory that overcomes the world? Our faith.

    The solution to evil is faith. But what does that even mean?

    El dinero y mi corazón duro

    El problema en nuestro Evangelio hoy no es el dinero. Pero la causa y la raíz del problema es. El problema es la dureza del corazón. La causa es amor por el dinero. Y el resultado es que los pobres son olvidados.
