This Worship is Established by God from 3,000years Ago: Feast of Corpus Christi (Mk 14: 12-26)

We know the Mass was instituted at the last supper by Jesus, but we don’t often think that God instituted the beginning of our worship over 3,000 years ago during The Exodus. Jesus intentionally drew the parallel showing that he is the true Lamb of God that the lamb of Passover only pre-figured. 

Corpus Cristi (Mk 14: 12-16, 22-26)

Have You Ever Heard of a God Like Our God! (Mt 28:16-20)

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity is not about theology. It’s about the wonder and awe of who our God is! Our God is a family (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) that we are invited to become part of and be with forever. Let us to respond in love and gratitude and make God once again first in our lives, our Lord and Salvation.

Christ Ascended to Become Many and form The Church (Mk 16:15-20)

Salvation in Christ does not end with the resurrection. He continues with his ascension and forming The Church and anointing her for mission, until he comes again to complete that mission.  His instruction to us is to wait on the Holy Spirit, for it is only by God’s power that this great mission be accomplished. Let us renew our call to share in that mission and to be guided by the Holy Spirit, because The Church needs us and we need The Church. 

La Ascesion (Mk 16:15-20)

Just a Silly Love Homily (Jn 15:9-17)

The readings today tell us God is love, and Jesus speaks the words “As the Father has loved me, I love you”.  Paul McCartney wrote a song asking does the world really want to hear more love songs.  You might say this homily is just another silly love homily. We hear much about God’s love. So much so that it may not have the impact it is really meant to have. Christians are meant to be people who are in love, and their joy and love is observable and contagious. But love is “More than a feeling”, ultimately it calls us to a decision to totally give ourselves to the other.  It is difficult and cannot be done without God’s power and love living in us through the Holy Spirit. But without God’s “Higher love”, life is just wasted time. Let us surrender to God’s love and let it changed our lives. 

Domingo VI de Pascua (Jn 15:9-17)

Homilia del Padre Carlos. 

Jesus is the Vine But What is the SAP?

In his analogy Jesus shares with us how he is present in his church, a living organism that is truly his body made present by his divine life in us. What is that divine life? It’s the SAP! The Spirit And Power of God living in us to through the Sacraments And Prayer.
