23-04-26 Those Gems in Scripture (EN)

En el Evangelio de hoy, jueves de Pascua, Jesús resucitado invita a reconocerlo en su Humanidad Santísima: Un espíritu no tiene carne y huesos como ven que yo tengo. Fue, es y será hombre, y entonces debemos dirigir a Él toda nuestra vida afectiva. Si no, cercenamos el psiquismo. Amarlo con amor de Eros, sin miedo, para asegurar nuestra perseverancia. Porque si no…

Mistakes That Push Kids Away

El episodio de la mujer adúltera que narra san Juan en el capítulo 8 (1-11) es manifestación de la misericordia de Dios. Y es, al mismo tiempo, una implícita invitación a que seamos misericordiosos, ya que, como los fariseos y los escribas, nadie está limpio de pecado para lanzar la primera piedra.

Attachment Needs That Strengthen Marriage

Doug shares his favorite moments from the National Eucharistic Congress. He discusses how to bring the Eucharist into our marriage and parallels between the Eucharist and marriage.

The Eucharist in Marriage

Today on the podcast a reflection on the words of Jesus : “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me&quot; (John 15:1-4). Jesus reserved these words for the Apostles within the intimacy of the Last Supper before His death. And, being a perfect teacher, He reserves these most profound and moving words for His last evening as a workshop for the first evangelization. With this imagery, Jesus is saying that there are three points of entrance into His Heart: the vine a Eucharistic symbol, pruning a symbol of the Cross, and His actual words. These three points are an instruction on the interior life. Jesus doesn&apos;t just say &quot;remain in me&quot;. He says: &quot;I want you to bear fruit&quot; and &quot;I appointed you&quot;. Our Lord is asking us to put the interior life first so that we develop the capacity to give others in a consistent way the experience of the Heart of Christ.As we reflect and pray with this meditation, we ask Our Lady: &quot;Convert me to the need for a robust interior life where I abide in your Son so I bear the fruit of the Heart and Love of your Son.&quot; THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!

Jesús, cuando va de camino a la casa de Jairo y le avisan a este que su hija acaba de morir, el Señor lo anima diciéndole: “No temas, ten solo fe”. También nosotros: nada sino la fe es lo que precisamos. Busquemos que esté presente en todas las dimensiones de nuestra vida, comenzando por vivir inmersos en ella a lo largo de la jornada.

22-05-26 When God makes breakfast (MRS)

Dios se ha lucido en la creación de Santa María, la más hermosa no solo de todas las mujeres sino de todas las creaturas. Dios es poeta (de poesis, creación). El sueño de Dios, su obra maestra, es su Madre. Cuando pensamos en Ella nos ilusionamos y nos sentimos invitados a lo más bello, a hacer también nosotros muchas obras del arte del amor en nuestra vida.

Today on the podcast… On May 1st, the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. “…Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him&apos;” (Matt. 2:13). In this reflection, Msgr. Fred Dolan invites us to bring to our prayer the great example of St. Joseph, especially his obedience and immediate response to the will of God– even if it meant he would find himself without a home and without established work.

St. Joseph the Worker

“Porque vio Dios la humildad de su esclava”, dice María en casa de Isabel. La humildad es asunto de ontología: Dios es el que es; nosotros, los que no somos. El principio de todo pecado tuvo origen en la soberbia; la solución, en la humildad de Dios. Intentemos descubrir el abanico de aspectos donde aparece la soberbia: vanidad, resentimientos, imaginación desbordada, fricciones en el trato, irascibilidad, etc.

Forgiving From the Cross

October is the month of the Rosary.  We celebrate &quot;Our Lady of the Rosary&quot; and reflect on the many advantages of the recitation of this powerful prayer.  <a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

The Rosary: "A Powerful Weapon"

Hay triduos, novenarios, decenarios… y Octavas. Las Octavas, como las de Pascua y Navidad, se celebran después de la Solemnidad respectiva. Queremos hacerlo ahora para permitir que las gracias eucarísticas nos aneguen durante estos ocho días. Hagámoslo con la conciencia del Corazón que late en el Sagrario.

2025-06-12  Octava de Corpus y Sagrado Corazón

El enemigo ha sembrado cizaña en el campo de Dios. ¿Cómo interpretar esta parábola? Podemos ahora considerar que el campo es el mundo, los hijos de Dios son el trigo bueno y los hijos del maligno son la cizaña. Al final, los ángeles segarán y arrojarán al fuego las gavillas de cizaña. ¡Qué responsabilidad salvar almas del fuego eterno! Aprovechemos toda oportunidad para lograr la liberación de los que han caído en las garras del demonio.

2024-02-05 Al fin de los tiempos la cizaña se quemará

Muy agradecidos hemos de estar a Dios que nos ha hecho conocer el misterio de su vida íntima. Sin la revelación sobrenatural nunca hubiéramos alcanzado tal conocimiento. Dios es amor, y no amor cerrado en Sí mismo sino dirigido a Otro: cada Persona divina volcada en Otra. Siendo nosotros imagen y semejanza de Dios, siendo personas, estamos invitados a vivir siempre en el amor.

2026-05-30 Víspera de la Santísima Trinidad

“Hail, Full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee.” These are words that the Archangel Gabriel addressed to Mary at Nazareth. From these words we get an indication of God’s special gift to Mary. From the moment of her conception, she was full of grace: She is truly immaculate, without stain. Mary Immaculate is our advocate with her Son. Turn to her, and she will bring you closer to Christ. A meditation by Father Henry Bocala.

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception

At the Easter Vigil, the Exultet tells us to rejoice with the joy of Christ&apos;s Victory.  Easter Joy is triumphant.  Christ is a victor and conqueror of sin and death.  We share in this victory in the sacraments and in charity.  Living a sincere Christian life, we become the resurrection for the world.<a href='https://comeawaybyyourselves.com'>https://comeawaybyyourselves.com</a>

Unity in the family

18-11-25 Curiosity and conversion (WJ)

Jesús en el discurso de las bienaventuranzas no distingue entre el Cielo y la tierra. Algunas tienen su premio aquí y otras allá. La de hambre y sed de justicia solo se saciará en el Cielo: aquí siempre puede aumentar. Una manera de medir esa hambre y esa sed es nuestro deseo de la Eucaristía.

2024-10-20 Hambre y sed de amar a Dios

Santa Teresa, la doctora de la oración, fue iluminada para percibir la relación de amor y cercanía con Jesús en la oración. La historia de su vida fue la historia de su oración, como debería ser también la nuestra. La historia de nuestra vida no será sino la historia de nuestra amistad con Jesucristo. La oración es un combate entre Dios y cada uno de nosotros, como el combate entre Jacob y Dios. En ella debemos estar dispuestos a ser vencidos en toda la línea.

2026-08-28 Historia de oración

Magdalena no se va del sepulcro. Luego que Pedro y Juan comprobaron que no estaba ahí el cuerpo del Señor, ella permanece, llorando. Esperaba recuperar un cadáver y se encuentra a Jesús vivo. “Se apareció a María Magdalena, que está loca de amor. Y a ti y a mí, más locos que la Magdalena…”. Todo consiste en el amor: hagámoslo crecer, manteniendo en Jesús nuestro pensamiento.

In our life, may we correspond to the mercy of God. Lord, help us to be wise. Help us to make good use of the talents you have given us. Help us to be charitable. A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.

God’s Judgment and God’s Mercy

Fr. Eric Nicolai preaches at Kintore College.
Luke 16:1-8: Jesus tells the parable of the shrewd steward:
‘There was a rich man and he had a steward denounced to him for being wasteful with his property. He called for the man and said, “What is this I hear about you? Draw me up an account of your stewardship because you are not to be my steward any longer.” (...) ‘The master praised the dishonest steward for his astuteness. For the children of this world are more astute in dealing with their own kind than are the children of light.’
In saving our soul and spreading the Kingdom of God, our Lord wants us to apply at least the same ingenuity and effort as people put into their worldly affairs or their attempts to attain some human ideal.&nbsp;
Josemaría Escrivá wrote in The Way 317: "What zeal people put into their earthly affairs: dreaming of honours, striving for riches, bent on sensuality. Men and women, rich and poor, old and middle— aged and young and even children: all of them the same.  When you and I put the same zeal into the affairs of our souls, we will have a living and operative faith: and there will be no obstacle that we cannot overcome in our apostolic undertakings."
Well, where do you put your greatest energy and zeal? Where do you put the greatest efforts?

The Shrewd Steward

“La voluntad de mi Padre consiste en que todo el que vea al Hijo y crea en Él, tenga vida eterna” (Juan 6, 40). Podemos ver al Hijo con los ojos de la fe en la oración cósmica, en la que lo descubrimos como causa ejemplar, “por quien todo fue hecho”. Y también en su realidad encarnada, sabiendo que, al ser hombre, “se puede tratar y hablar con Vos como quisiéramos” (Santa Teresa).

2026-07-09 Ver al Hijo de Dios

Las unciones que hemos recibido en los sacramentos suponen una consagración, es decir, una afirmación de pertenecer a Dios en exclusiva: hacer algo sagrado. Lo contrario sería la desacralización e incluso el sacrilegio. Afirmamos nuestro deseo de pertenecer al Sagrado Corazón del Señor, haciendo la ofrenda de nuestra vida.

En la primera lectura de la Misa de hoy, el profeta Daniel recoge la oración de Azarías, uno de los jóvenes a las órdenes de Nabucodonosor. Azarías suplica misericordia a Dios, ante el peligro de perder la vida: “Acepta nuestro corazón adolorido y nuestro espíritu humillado”, reza. En Cuaresma ofrezcamos un corazón deseoso de conversión, de sucesivas conversiones, sin permitir que el tiempo pase sin más.

Juan 12, 4: “Y yo, cuando sea levantado sobre la tierra, atraeré todas las cosas hacia Mí”. Frase de gran profundidad. Que nos ilumine, ahora que nos acercamos a ese “ser levantado”. Los antiguos sabían que per áspera ad astra, ‘a través de las dificultades llegamos a las estrellas’. Pero la Cruz de Cristo es algo mucho más radical: con ella todo cambia. Ahí se realiza toda la salvación y se nos comunica todo bien.

August is the Coolest Month

En las inmediaciones de la Cuaresma, dispongamos nuestra alma. Vamos a cambiar de etapa, a vivir un tiempo de gracias nuevas, distintas. Y es preciso abrirnos, por la fe, a la seguridad de la eficacia que vendrá con ella. Comencemos a vivir más recogidamente, más desprendidos, con más austeridad. “El Señor, con los brazos abiertos, te pide una constante limosna de amor”, decía san Josemaría. Limosna de compañía, limosna de penitencia, limosna de preocupación por los demás.

León XIII consagró el género humano al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús el año 1900. San Pío X repitió la consagración, y después Pío XI, que en 1925 la colocó el día de Cristo Rey. ¿Qué significa estar consagrados ese Corazón misericordioso de Jesús? Que el nuestro aprenda a permanecer ahí, para que, desde ese hondón de mi persona, todas mis acciones sean misericordiosas.
