Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

Today's Church Needs Witnesses (Lk 24:45-53)

In the readings from today's feast of The Ascension we hear of the important role of witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus in the Church.

The Charismatic and Instrumental Church (Jn 14:23-29)

The Holy Spirit is to the church what Jesus was to his disciples. Now it is by the power of the Holy Spirit that the body of Christ is made alive and it's guided and this is done through both charismatic and the institutional church. Pray to the Holy Spirit individually and seek his wisdom as mediated and revealed through the church the sacraments in the magisterium. 

To Love Like Jesus Is aGift of God that Gives Him Glory (Jn 13:31-35)

Faith Hope and love our divine gifts. We must have faith and Hope in the power of God's Love.  This is what it means to give God glory. 

Domingo V Pascua (Jn 13:31-35)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Hear and Follow the Good Shepherd for Fulness of Life (Jn 10:27-30)

If we reflect on our lives we can notice a difference between doing our will and doing the wheel of another who calls us to places where we would not go on our own. Today's challenge from God is to learn how to hear his voice, and obey it. Only this leads to fullness of joy, purpose, and fruitfulness. 

Domingo Buen Pastor (Jn 10:27-30)

We Are Sent to Show Others the Mercy God Has Shown Us (Jn 20:19-31)

We gather for mass on the first day of the resurrection, the next Sunday and every Sunday to encounter the risen Lord truly present breathing His resurrected life into us. And as the father sent Jesus to us while we were still unworthy we are called to go and show God's mercy to other others, even those we might think our unworthy. 

Domingo II Pascua, Divina Misericordia (Jn 20:19-31)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Journey from Unbelief to Open to Belief to Encounter (Jn 20:1-18)

Like the early disciples we come to the evidence of the empty tomb and travel from unbelief, to openness to the possibility that Jesus has risen, to belief that He is Risen, and then finally to a life-changing encounter in love.
