Give me a drink
John 4:5-52 Third Sunday of Lent During Lent, we try to quench our thirst for God. To help us do so, the Church invites us to encounter Jesus, who came to our world to show us the spring of living water that leads to eternal life. Through this passage from the Gospel of John, we soar with the eagle of his narrative, which invites us to interpret “the signs and miracles of Jesus” to bel

Bishop Peter: A Lenten call to listen to the Holy Spirit who leads us home
Lent is not first a season of our effort or self-improvement. It is, above all, a season of God’s mercy and action in our lives through the gift of the Holy Spirit. At the same time, this gift is never forced upon us. The Holy Spirit is freely given, but he must also be freely received.

CUARESMA: tiempo propicio de renovación y conversión
Por el Padre Jesús Cruz Hernández MSP La Resurrección de Cristo fue el mensaje central de la predicación en los inicios de la Iglesia cristiana. Ya lo dice el apóstol Pablo: “Si Cristo no resucitó, nuestra predicación no sirve de nada, ni sirve de nada la fe que ustedes profesan. (1Co 15,14). Después de la muerte de Cristo, algunos creían que todo había terminado, como les sucedió a los discípulos de Emaús (Lc 24,13ss) quienes, desanimados, tristes e incluso decepcionados,

Bishop Peter: Marriage Week 2026: together with purpose
In a culture that can confuse identity, weaken commitment and reduce love to feelings alone, the Church proclaims with confidence and compassion what Jesus Himself reveals: that marriage is not a private experiment, but a divine gift — an enduring covenant of faithful love, ordered toward communion and fruitfulness, and elevated by Christ to the dignity of a sacrament.

Pro-life advocates warn of pending political storm
“The Idaho Supreme Court has made it clear that a woman does not need to be in imminent risk of death for a doctor to act,” she said. “But unfortunately we hear misinformation about Idaho’s laws. They say that doctors can’t practice medicine here or that they must transfer women out of state in medical emergencies. And that is not true.”
Proponents of RFPA, she explained, are using misinformation to trigger empathy in voters and convince them to make abortion legal in Idah

“It’s so important to do both: to support the mother and protect the babies, just as our bishops have led us to do,” said Emily Naugle, president of Right to Life of Idaho. “We need to keep working so all babies may be welcomed in love and protected in law.”

LOS CATÓLICOS Y EL PUEBLO JUDÍO
Por Diácono Thomas Middleton Los católicos, en particular los laicos católicos, deben participar plenamente en el mundo. Como seguidores de Cristo, estamos llamados a moldear la cultura en lugar de limitarnos a reaccionar ante ella o, lo que es peor, ignorarla. En los últimos años, el odio y la violencia antisemitas se han disparado. Hay una serie de cuestiones graves y complicadas relacionadas con el aumento del antisemitismo en Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo. Es importan

“God with us”: Mary’s faith in Advent
Mt 1:18 Fourth Sunday of Advent At every level of the evangelical tradition, Mary is above all the “Mother of Jesus.” Various texts refer to her simply with this title (Mk 3:31ff; Lk 2:48; Jn 2:1–12; 19:25ff). In it, her entire role in the work of salvation is defined. The person who lived Advent most perfectly—as a faithful and ardent expectation of Jesus the Savior, in the midst of the darkness of faith and the ambiguities and trials of the human condition—was the Virgin Ma

“Dios con nosotros”: La fe de María en el Adviento
Mt 1, 18 Cuarto Domingo de Adviento A todos niveles de la tradición evangélica es María ante todo la “Madre de Jesús”. Diversos textos la designan simplemente con este título (Mc 3,31s; Lc 2,48; Jn 2,1-12; 19,25s). Con él se define toda su función en su obra salvadora. La persona que mejor ha vivido el Adviento como fiel y ardiente espera de Jesús Salvador, en medio de la oscuridad de la fe y de las ambigüedades y pruebas de la condición humana, ha sido la Virgen María.

Wisdom of Jesus should be applied to immigration issue
"Think of the Holy Family, for example. Immigrants’ basic human rights and human dignity are retained at all times and do not depend on government recognition. That means everyone, at all times, has the right to life, food, water, shelter, safety, private property, religious freedom and bodily integrity. As I mentioned before, these cannot be taken away even if a person illegally enters into another country which is not his own. This is part of Catholic Social Teaching." Fath

Advent: Awakening to God’s Hour
Second Sunday of Advent Matthew 3:1-12 As we return to the beginning of our liturgical calendar, we evaluate the progress of our life of faith in light of the expectations of the Kingdom of God. Advent is the time of God’s hour, the hour of salvation. Christ will renew His passage through history, keeping alive our hope that the Kingdom of God and the transformation of our hearts are possible. The Church and Christians are the prophets of this hour, called to “go into all the

Cristo Rey
Lc 23, 35-46 Ante Pilato, Jesús se había declarado rey (Jn 18, 35ss). Esto bastaba para hacerlo blasfemo ante el poder religioso, y sedicioso ante el poder civil. Y aunque agrega que “su reino no es de este mundo”, el sentido de estas palabras escapaba a sus jueces. Jesús fue entregado a la muerte. Ante el poder era un rey fracasado; el letrero en la cruz lo atestiguaba: “Este es el Rey de los Judíos”. Pero ante el pueblo, la cosa era más compleja. Por sus hechos y palabras,

Christ the King
Luke 23:35-46 Before Pilate, Jesus had declared Himself king (Jn 18:35 ff.). This was enough to brand Him as both blasphemous and seditious in the eyes of the religious and civil authorities. Although He added that ‘His kingdom is not of this world’, His judges failed to understand the meaning of these words. Jesus was handed over to be put to death. In the eyes of the authorities, He was a failed king, as the sign on the cross made clear: “This is the King of the Jews.” But

Living Temples of God
Jn 2:13-22 Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome In all religions, the temple is a sacred place where divinity is believed to be present to receive worship and bestow favors upon its followers. Of course, the Divine Being's true home is not of this world. However, the temple is identified with the Divine Being in a way that allows humans to enter into communion with the Divine Realm. This fundamental symbolism is also found in the Old Testament, where the Te

Dios nos ama y nos busca

También podemos observar cómo visita con la brisa de la tarde a nuestros primeros padres, en el ‘Jardín del Edén”, y cómo, al no encontrarlos, exclamó: “Adán, ¿dónde estás?”.

Octubre mes del Rosario
El mes de octubre está dedicado al Rosario en relación con la celebración de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, instituida por el papa Pío V porque el 7 de octubre se conmemora la victoria obtenida por los cristianos en la batalla naval de Lepanto en 1571. Esta victoria es atribuida a la Madre de Dios, invocada por la oración del Rosario y cuando lo rezamos nos unimos a la Virgen María meditando los misterios de Cristo porque ella estuvo asociada de un modo especial a la encarnación
