Noticias! Sin no cambia a Dios, sino que te cambia. Tú no tienes el poder de cambiar a Dios! El pecado es como vagar en una cueva que parecía invitar pero que resulta oscura y fría y vacía. El sol sigue brillar, luminoso y cálido, pero no puedes sentirlo. La confesión es salir de la cueva y discubrir de que Dios todavía está allí,... Read More
The Cross…
“The cross … speaks and never ceases to speak of God the Father, who is absolutely faithful to His eternal love for man. … Believing in the crucified Son means ’seeing the Father,’ means believing that love is present in the world and that this love is more powerful than any kind of evil” (Pope John Paul II, Rich...

The Sower…
Hidden in today’s gospel of the Sower is an unspoken but important teaching: seeds cannot bear fruit unless they’re sown. We must go out as sowers, but our task is not to make the seeds grow but simply to sow them —lots of them. The need to see results is just vanity; discouragement just pride. We simply need to be faithful in... Read More
Purging…
“Blessed are the poor in spirit” simply means “Blessed are they who only need God.” It doesn’t mean that we can’t love people, things, or events; It means we purge away our attachment to them, our desire for self-gratification in them. It means we love them within God, not alongside Him or instead of Him. Read More →
Transfigured…
One of Pope John Paul II’s recurrent teachings was that the Eucharist must be not only received but lived, and that “all who take part in the Eucharist be committed to changing their lives and making them in a certain way completely ‘Eucharistic’ … a transfigured existence and a commitment to transforming the world”...

Source and Summit…
We should begin and end everything with the Eucharist: “Every commitment to holiness, every activity aimed at carrying out the Church’s mission, every work of pastoral planning, must draw the strength it needs from the Eucharistic mystery and in turn be directed to that mystery as its culmination.” — Pope John Paul II,...

The Humble King…
The One whom we adore … is not some distant power. He has himself knelt down before us to wash our feet. And that gives to our adoration the quality of being unforced, adoration in joy and hope, because we are bowing down before him who himself bowed down, because we bow down to enter into a love that does not make slaves of us but transforms...

The Eucharist…
“On leaving the earth, O Lord, You wanted to stay with us, and so You left us Yourself in the Sacrament of the Altar, and You opened wide Your mercy to us. There is no misery that could exhaust You; You have called us all to this fountain of love, to this spring of God’s compassion. Here is the tabernacle of Your mercy, here is the... Read More
God’s Love…
God doesn’t just love “humanity” in some general or abstract way. His love is personal, individual, and eternal: “Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony, and his Passion and gave himself up for each one of us” (Catechism, 1085). Read More →
Discovery…
“The more we keep him company, the more we trust him in the dark night of the uncomprehended God, the more we will become aware that the very God who seems to be tormenting us is the one who truly loves us, the one we can trust without reserve. The deeper we go into the dark night of the uncomprehended God and trust in him, the more we will... Read More
