The Key to Interpret Difficult Passages in Old Testament (Mt 22:34-40)

In the gospel today, Jesus gives us the key to interpret the difficult passages of the Old Testament and the church helps us to interpret it, so as to help us not use scripture to do violence and for hate. 

Domingo XXX Tiempo Ordinario (Mt 22:34-40)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

The Mass is an Opportunity to Give to God What is God’s (Mt 22:15-21)

Jesus says, give to Caesar what is Caesars and to God what is God’s.  Since we are made in the image and likeness of God, we belong to Him, the Mass is an opportunity for us to give ourselves to God through Jesus Christ.  He makes of us a perfect offering to God the Father.

Come to the Feast As You Are, But Let It Transform You (Mt 22:1-14)

The kingdom of God is likened to a wedding feast, it’s fullness is only in heaven, but even now we’re called to live in the peace and joy of God in the midst of a troubled world. We don’t feel worthy always, and we don’t feel the love the joy and the peace always, but come to the feast as you are, and let it transform you, God will be our strength and our peace and our joy. 

Domingo XXVIII (Mt 22:1-14)

Homilia del Padre Carlos. 

Learn from a Plant How to Bear Fruit (Mt 21-43)

In the gospel Jesus uses the metaphor that we should produce fruit. What does it mean to produce fruit in the kingdom of God? And how can we do it? A plant has much to teach us. A healthy plant allows God’s miracle to work through it to produce fruit which brings new life.

Domingo XXVII (Mt 21:33-43)

Homilia del Padre Carlos. 

Humility is the Antidote to Pride (Mt 21:28-32)

Today’s readings talk about sin. Sin prevents us from experiencing the fullness and freedom of God’s love. So does pride. Let us drive to keep the faith, be humble like Christ, and through our example and fellowship lead others to Christ. 

Domingo XXVI (Mt 21:28-32)

Homilia del Padre Carlos. 

The Joy of Being Invited to Work in the Vineyard is the Greatest Pay (Mt 20:16)

In the Gospels today, Jesus gives us a kind of Rorschach test. We can look at this word picture and see the unfairness of God, or His generosity to all his children. Likewise, we can see our own lives the same way as a struggle, or as a Joy. Jesus is inviting us into the joy of life’s struggles, by the miracle of discipleship.
