I Want to Offer You a New Job: The Best Job!(Lk 10:1-12,17-20)

I want to offer you a job with much power and influence, a job that is really not that hard, a job for an international organization, a job with benefits that are out of this world. This is the job Jesus offers all of us today in the Gospel. The harvest is abundant but laborers are few, Jesus is offering us all a job, he needs you. Will you accept His Job offer?

A Disciple is One Who Changes How They Live (Lk 9:51-62)

There are many of us who believe in Jesus or listen to his wisdom, but it never really affects how we live. Today Jesus invites us to be a disciple; that is to follow him on the way. One who follows Jesus changes how they live and puts God first in their life. The best example comes from those who have died, seen the other side, and when they come back live differently. We are all called to a similar radical conversion to put God first in our life and trust him in all things. 

Domingo XIII Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 9:51-62)

Homilies del padre Carlos. 

The Body and Blood of Christ;Salvation is Sacramental (Lk 9:11-17)

The Catholic Church is a Sacramento church, because salvation is Sacramental. A sacrament is a divine reality present in our physical reality. Jesus Christ truly God and truly man is a sacrament. We are saved by his incarnation life death resurrection and by being joined to his body through the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist.

Homilia del padre Carlos

God is Relationship therefore So too Us (Jn 16:12-15)

We are part of a mystery that is beyond our comprehension, and that includes God. However God has chosen to reveal Himself in a way we can’t fully understand, yet there is much we can understand; that God is relationship Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If we are created in God’s image and likeness so too are we created to live in relationship and in relationships are we most fully alive and most united to God. Let us work therefore with God’s help to build strong relationships; with Jesus, in our families, in our church, and in our world. That is when we are most fully alive and giving God glory. 

Santisima Trinidad (Jn 16:12-15)

Homilia del padre Carlos

Today We Are Writing the Next Chapter of the Acts of the Holy Spirit (Jn 20:19-23)

The acts of the apostles are sometimes referred to as the acts of the Holy Spirit. In the acts of the Holy Spirit we read how the early church grew. It was not as much because of the miracles and the signs but because of the conversion of people to care for the poor, the sick, to include the outcast, and to live in unity amongst diversity. Today the same Holy Spirit allows us to live in the same making the church a powerful witness to God.
