Sincerely Seeking / Buscar Sinceramente
Click here for daily readings Jesus is often verbally jousting with “the chief priests and elders,” but why? He has come to save them too, but they refuse to humble themselves or let go of their authority or open themselves to the truth. And so, in today’s Gospel, as this group questions him about his

Searching for the Lost One / Buscar al perdido
Click here for daily readings In today’s Gospel we hear, "What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray?” I have often wondered how it feels to be “the one” in
The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary / La Inmaculada Concepción de la Santísima Virgen María
Click here for daily readings Let us pause for a minute and reflect on how the Blessed Virgin Mary was given the grace of being Immaculate not because she said yes to Christ at the Annunciation but rather because of her Immaculate Conception in the womb of her mother, St. Anne.
