For God so loved the world
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who belives in him might not perish but might have eternal life.”What a great message to reflect or pray during this Lenten Season, on how much God loves us and how much we can love God.
Jesús hablaba del templo de su cuerpo... También yo soy templo de Dios. Si no vigilo las pequeñas raposas, el orgullo, la pereza, la gula, la envidia, la tacañería, tantos disfraces del egoísmo, se escurren por dentro y lo estropean todo.
Happy Transfiguration Sunday! Transfiguration is a gospel of change. Change is a constant thing in this world. A philosopher said, “The only thing permanent in this world is change”. Everything and everyone changed: climate, season, nature, time, and people, even cars need oil change. In today's generation, concern for physical or bodily change is very common.
Jesus healing the leper reminds us to pray for our sick brothers and sisters. St. John Paul II designated Feb. 11 as World Day of the Sick, a special time of prayer for healing and offering one's suffering to God.
"Todos buscan a Cristo, algunos de una manera expresa y esforzada, otros quizá sin ser conscientes de ello, 'ya que nuestro corazón está inquieto y no encuentra descanso hasta reposar en Él'" (San Agustín).
The man with an unclean spirit cried out, what have you to do with us Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God!” these are the words of a man possessed with unclean spirit.
“Arrepiéntete, Cree, y Sigue a Dios” (Mc 1, 15). ¿Cuándo me han pedido que haga algo relacionado con Dios que no quería hacer?
¿Cuáles son algunas de las cosas que dejé atrás para seguir a Dios?
There's a saying, “Jesus didn't call the qualified, que qualifies the call”. He didn't set any criteria to become a disciple. He simply claled them by name. In our gospel, Jesus called his first disciples Peter and his brother Andrew. They followed Jesus because they heard about Jesus.
Happy Feast of the Holy Family to all your family and loved ones! I pray that your family be guided and protected by the family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and that your family be blessed with every blessing you need! What makes the Holy Family HOLY?
"Jesús nació en la humildad de un establo, de una familia pobre. Unos sencillos pastores son los primeros testigos del acontecimiento. En esta pobreza se manifiesta la gloria del cielo" (Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, # 525).
