No More Suffering?
Why do we think our life should be easier and that we shouldn’t suffer if we follow Jesus and keep his commandments and pray and so on? In every book of the New Testament, we are told that following Christ means that we will suffer.
¿No más sufrimiento?
¿Por qué creemos que nuestra vida debería ser más fácil y que no deberíamos sufrir si seguimos a Jesús y guardamos sus mandamientos, oramos y demás? En cada libro del Nuevo Testamento, se nos dice que seguir a Cristo significa que sufriremos.
Sunday of the Word of God
This new feast calls us back to the wellspring of God’s Word. We spend time filling our minds and hearts with so many words–but what about God’s Word?
We Are Part of a Sacred Mystery
In Baptism, we share in that same divinized humanity of Jesus Christ. This is a Sacred Mystery! This is not something casual.
Somos Parte de un Sagrado Misterio
En el bautismo, compartimos esa misma humanidad divina de Jesucristo. Este es un misterio sagrado! Esto no es algo casual.

La esperanza es algo gracioso
Esperanza, Esperanza verdadera, busca algo concreto, algo real, algo que puedas experimentar.
Blessed is the one who takes no offense at me
It is easy to be offended and scandalized at how God chooses to work in our life. It is easy to think that God doesn’t care, or that God does exist. That’s the easy route. But blessed is the one who doesn’t abandon ship because things aren’t exactly how they would have them.
