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?

What Killed Jesus is Still Present Today. Let us not Fall for Satan’s Old Tactics (Lk 4:21-30) (4 OT)

Jesus came to fight and establish a kingdom. But not against human enemies, and not the Kingdom of Israel, but against Evil and to establish the Church. The tactic of the enemy is to lie and accuse, thus creating hate among enemies. We have no human enemy in Christ, we are all God's Children, let us not fall for Satan's age old tactics. Let us be members of His Kingdom, united in His Body, and fight using the most powerful weapon of Love.

Is the Gospel Too Idealistic to Work? (Lk 1:1-4,4:14-21) (3OT)

The Gospel is a lofty ideal. It seems that it is not practical and does not really work. All those things Jesus said like; 'Forgive your enemies', 'Pray for those who persecute you,' 'Sell your possessions and give to the poor,' 'Your Father knows you needs, seek first the Kingdom and all those things will be given to you', 'Cloth the naked, feed the poor, welcome the stranger,' 'Do to others as you would have them do to you,' 'Turn the other cheek,' these things really don't work in the real world do they?  Yet Luke makes it clear in his Gospel, that Jesus does mean all these things, and we must still follow the Word of God. 

Homilia Domingo III Tiempo Ordinario (Lk 1:1-4,4:14-21)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Jesus is the Bridegroom, We are the Bride (Jn 2:1-11) (2 OT)

John's Gospel has seven signs, this is the first. The miracles are called signs because they are meant to teach of more about the mystery of our Salvation in Jesus Christ. Hear we learn that our salvation is because our Maker had married us, and delights in us as a bridegroom delights in his bride. Wow, God could have remained in heaven and waited for judgement, but He chose instead to send His Son, to join marry us, making us members of His Family! Wow!  I wonder if someone should have warned God that we are going to break His heart many times! Let us recognize the great gift we have and surrender to God's Love in a relationship that transforms us. 

Segundo Domingo Tiempo Ordinario (Jn 2:1-11)

The Sacrament of Baptism: Why and What)

Did Jesus have to be Baptized to be saved? No He was baptized for our salvation. Christ is the first sacrament; a divine reality present in our physical world. Christ institutes the Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist for us to share in His divine life, to be members of His Body, His Church.
