Mercy, Not Sacrifice / La misericordia, no el sacrificio

Make Straight the Path / Enderece el camino
Click here for daily readings Today’s Gospel from John emphasizes peace and the Holy Spirit abiding within us. Christ’s first word following His death is “Peace”.

They exemplify Jesus’s difficult message
The Other Dimension of Suffering / La otra dimensión del sufrimiento
Click here for daily readings I have really been drawn to the lives of the saints lately. It amazes me how much they were willing to suffer and offer up that suffering, but even more so, how they were able to use their suffering as a way to unite themselves to Christ. I don’t pretend
As You Have Believed, Let It Be Done / Como has creído, que se haga
Click here for daily readings Faith. Faith requires humility, the willingness to accept as truth things that are beyond our understanding. Faith humbly bows down before the truth it cannot grasp, and lives according to its demands. Faith says, “I cannot, but God can,” and then trusts and receives what God wills. Many times in
His Most Sacred Heart / El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús
Click here for daily readings Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. What a gift! The readings today point to something He wants us to really embrace, His Sacred Heart full of pure love! You all know that the word “love” is overly used. We say we love this and
