The ResurrectionMakes All Things New (Jn 20:19-31)

The resurrection is not only for us to go to heaven, it’s to transform the earth back into the original creation God intended from the beginning, and will be established at the end. For this to happen, we must boldly live our faith in the world by the power of God’s resurrected life in us. 

Domingo II de Pascua (Jn 20:19-31)

Homilia del Padre Carlos. 

The Best Evidence That Jesus is Lord is The Lest Known (Jn 20:1-9)

Of all the evidence that Jesus is God and is risen, the most persuasive are the least known. Although there is ample evidence that people give to “prove” Jesus is Lord, ultimately the most convincing is the miracles he works in our ordinary lives.

The Other Side of the Cross (Jn 12:20-33)

Saint John’s Gospel presents Jesus on the cross as the image to meditate upon to grow in deeper understanding, and appreciation of our salvation in Christ Jesus. There is also another side of the cross, with no body, for Jesus is risen and has shared through the sacraments in his church the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit wants to give us the fruits outlined in Galatians 5:22 and many more gifts, but we must empty ourselves to make room for these gifts.

God Would Not Condemn a Good Person to Hell for Not Practicing the Faith? (Jn 3:14-21)

Matthew Kelly has a book entitled “The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity. I believe today’s Gospel passage “For God, so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but might have eternal life”, is wrongly interpreted to be the biggest lie in Christianity.  Belief in God, with the common understanding of belief, does not save a person. Even the devil believes in God, salvation is more than believe in a concept that Jesus is God, it requires living as he invites us to live. 

Domingo IV de Cuaresma (Jn 3:14-21)

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Only God Can Fulfill Our Desire for a Soulmate (Jn 4:5-42)

Jesus’s meets a woman at Jacobs well and offers to give her “Living Water”. Jesus offers all who thirst living water. God’s love is  poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This is the living water that God offers us too. We thirst for it, and Jesus thirsts for our love.

Domingo III de Cuaresma (Jn 2:13-25)

Homilia del Padre Carlos.
