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!

Abide in Me

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.
