The Law of Discipleship
Jesus bluntly and unequivocally rejects this “forge your own path” mentality. And he lays down the “Law of Discipleship” and says, “Hating one’s family, taking up our cross/suffering/discomfort, renouncing our possessions. That’s what it’s going to take.”
“Will you let me love you as you are?”
Being humble is the pre-condition for receiving the love and mercy and life of God. We all need to picture the Lord before us, and picture him asking us, “Will you let me love you as you are?”
“¿Me dejarás amarte como eres?”
Ser humilde es la condición previa para recibir el amor, la misericordia y la vida de Dios. Todos necesitamos imaginar al Señor delante de nosotros, y preguntándonos: “¿Me dejarás amarte como eres?”
Discipleship and the Narrow Gate
Many will eat and drink in his company, many will be around him and hear his teaching. But Jesus says it is not proximity or “status” that saves, but a life of discipleship.
Discipulado y la Puerta Angosta
Muchos comerán y beberán en su compañía, muchos lo rodearán y escucharán sus enseñanzas. Pero Jesús dice que no es la proximidad o el “estado” lo que salva, sino una vida de discipulado.

The Expansion of Love – NFP Awareness Week
The Church’s teaching on contraception and its promotion of Natural Family Planning is not about a restriction of freedom, or love, or affection, no. Rather, the Church’s teaching is about the expansion of freedom, an expansion of affection, an expansion of desire—an expansion of love.
La Expansión del Amor – Semana de Conciencia para PFN
La enseñanza de la Iglesia sobre la contracepción y su promoción de la planificación familiar natural no se trata de una restricción de la libertad, o el amor, o el cariño, no. Más bien, la enseñanza de la Iglesia es sobre la expansión de la libertad, la expansión del afecto, la expansión del deseo—la expansión del amor.
