A Scene of Revelation and Hope (Mt 17:1-9)

The scene of the transfiguration gives us hope on our journey through death to life, and reveals the entire plan of salvation history that God has worked since we first rebelled against him.

Jesus Came to Do What The Law Could Not (Mt 5:17-37)

Christianity is not simply about following laws. Laws are important but the goal that Jesus is after us to transform our heart so that we live our lives according to the law in freedom and joy by the power of God in Christ Jesus. 

Domingo VI (Mt 5:17-37)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Be Saltier Salt and a Light Shown Not Hidden (Mt 5:13-16)

In the Beattitudes Jesus warned that those who follow him need to be different than the world. Today he tells us we are salt, and light. Salt transforms the world and helps bring about the kingdom of God. When our light shines, people see God's presence in our world. Jesus needs us to be salt that is salty and light that is shown not hidden.

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

The Gospel is Hard: The Beatitudes Explained (Mt 5:1-12)

To live the gospel in this world torn by sin is difficult and today Jesus warns us that and that it will cause us persecution and suffering. It's not only hard to live when we know the right thing, it's sometimes hard to apply it to the difficult situations of our lives. (The teachings of the church can help us in this area.) But let us not abandon the difficult task of applying the gospel to our world because members of the kingdom of God are those who try to live the gospel to all situations in our lives, families and world. 

Pray for the Grace to See the World According to the Gospel (Mt 4:12-23)

A disciples is one who sees the world with the eyes of Jesus. To become a disciple is the call for all of us. But it is a miracle every time it happens pray for that miracle and do what's needed to make that miracle possible.
