This is a Time of Testing for Us: Jesus Shows Us How to Persevere (Lk 4:1-13) (1 LT)

I have heard it said that these are the worst of times. Well I agree they do rank way up there, and for most of us they are the most difficult we have experienced. However humanity has come a long way over 4,000 years since God first called Abraham, and in the 2,000 years since Christ's suffering, death and triumph over sin and death in His Resurrection and founding of the Church. Let us not forget that God has got us thus far, and he still is bringing about His Kingdom. We can, even in this time of test have hope. Let us allow the test to achieve it's purpose, to draw us back to God.

Before we Change the World, Let us First Allow God to Shape Our Hearts. (Lk 6:39-45) (8 OT)

Jesus is concluding his sermon on the plain in Luke's Gospel where he is laying out the Gospel Values which are meant to shape the world. But before we transform the world, we must allow our hearts to be transformed by the Holy Spirit into Christ-likeness.

Resist Evil in Ways that Bring It Into the Light (Lk 6:27-38) (7 OT)

Jesus commands that we love our enemies, forgive those who wrong us, give to all who ask, and turn the other cheek.  Does he really expect us to do this? Does he really think it will work? Well, He still commands it, and yes it did work, sometimes we never see the success, but we are still commanded to do it. 

Homilia Domingo VII Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 6:27-38)

Homilia del padre Carlos.

Blessed Are Those Who Lose the Super Bowl! (Lk 6:17,20-26)

Searching for a contemporary example of how to explain the Beatitudes, I offer this not to be funny, but seriously! The Beatitudes are meant to show us God views the world different than those who are of the world view it. It is almost the exact opposite. God wants to give us Eternal Bliss, beatitude, that changes how we see the world and what we think is important, and how we act. With God's Beatitudes, we are never overwhelmed by life's difficulties, nor are we complacent with the sufferings of others.

Jesus Invites Us to Go Deeper: Will We Take the Risk? (Lk 5:1-11) (5 OT)

Becoming a disciple is not done in an instant, but is a long journey of getting to know and trust Jesus until one day we have a life changing encounter with the living God. This gives us D-CAMP! Divine Companionship, Assistance, Meaning and Purpose. Will you allow Jesus to come into your boat and direct your journey so that you may be Abundant and have His D-CAMP?
