Jesus begins by asking what people say about Him. The answers are varied, opinions respectable and complimentary... But none of them hit the nail on the head. None of them reaches the core of their identity, because they are answers given by those who speak from afar and hearsay. Then comes the decisive question: "And you, who do you say that I am?" The difference is great. It is no longer about what others say. Now the answer is personal... for faith cannot be sustained so

The theme of the universality of faith is the message of today’s readings. Most of us are used to thinking that faith is only for a privileged few and those who are not like us have no right to believe in it. But today’s Bible readings tell us that everyone is called to believe in Christ, regardless of race, country, language… This Sunday is a reminder to think more openly, not to close the doors to those who are different from us. Because we are all children of God, and we

Cheer up, it's Me, don't be afraid! These words of Jesus constitute the heart of today's message. These are words spoken in the middle of the night, when the disciples are in the boat far from the shore, shaken by the contrary wind and overcome by fear... It is no coincidence that Jesus manifests himself precisely at this moment. When uncertainty disorients us and fear threatens to rob us of hope. In the storms of life: A family worry, an illness, a loss, a failure, a dif

Jesus, upon learning of the death of John the Baptist, departs sadly to a lonely place. But the people took it upon themselves to bring him out of his isolation when they went looking for him, bringing him their afflictions and sicknesses. Jesus does not respond with complaints, saying, Why Me? But he feels compassion and does something for them. The disciples are worried, because they know that they have few resources and the need is very great, it seems impossible to do any

Kingdom parables are central to Jesus' preaching. He, through simple and everyday images (a sown field, a little leaven, a hidden treasure, a precious pearl), introduces us to a higher and mysterious reality. The Kingdom of God is a dynamic presence that demands search, decision and commitment. It becomes the center of the life of those who encounter it. The images proposed by The Master invite us, as disciples, to ask ourselves whether we live our Christianity as a burden

God's wisdom surpasses our standards. The Gospel of St. Matthew presents a radical call from Jesus to put God above all else, even family ties. Loving God does not mean despising the family, but rightly ordering priorities. He also invites us to carry our own cross, which is certainly lighter than the Master's... and to live faithfully, understanding that every gesture of love and help for one's neighbour, no matter how small, has great value before God. Because Jesus rem

T he Gospel shows us a human Jesus who weeps at the tomb of his friend Lazarus, but who at the same time has the divine power to conquer death. The " deaths" that we live today – sin, hopelessness, loneliness or illness – do not have the last word. God, through Ezekiel, tells us: "I will pour out my spirit and they will live" (Ez 37:14), which is fulfilled with the resurrection of Lazarus and the future resurrection of Jesus. This reminds us that, even in the moment of grea

DON'T BE AFRAID We are on the second Sunday of Lent. Today we hear Jesus again turning away from the people into a lonely place to pray. Jesus prepares himself, because he has begun the most important stage of his mission; he has taken the road that leads him to Jerusalem, where he will be imprisoned, tortured and condemned to death (Lk 9:22). But he fears that his disciples will not understand these facts and that at the moment of truth they will leave him alone; That is why

Jesús, justo juez T he book of Sirach makes a very interesting reflection on the use of human freedom. Because in any circumstance we have the possibility of choosing between good and bad, what benefits or harms, etc. We can choose, but the choice we make will bring consequences, for better or for worse. In short, it invites us to make good use of our freedom and to decide wisely. For its part, the Gospel presents us with a rereading of the commandments. “You have heard tha

J esus calls his followers to make a difference, being "salt of the earth" and "light of the world" May our actions – works of justice, love and solidarity – illuminate daily life and give glory to God, without seeking prominence, serving the most disadvantaged. Our faith should not be timid or hidden. Jesus calls the faithful to be a visible light that illuminates, guides and offers hope, especially in a world in need of meaning. Words are not enough... Being light transla

Joseph, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home… W hen we are going to receive an important visitor or someone we appreciate very much in our home, we do everything possible to find a clean and cozy place in which they can be. The season of Advent is just that, we have been preparing our hearts, our homes, our parish community to receive our Lord Jesus Christ. Is that place ready? Today's Gospel tells us about Joseph's fears and doubts. After they were enga

SEGUNDO DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO Prepare the way of the Lord John the Baptist is undoubtedly one of the most representative characters of the Advent season. It was up to him to prepare the way in the public life of Jesus. When the time was right, he began to prepare the way for the proclamation of the Good News. “A shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse”, and it was necessary to wait for it in a dignified manner. Concretely, John invites conversion to recognize faults, symbo

T his Sunday's readings have an apocalyptic tone. This means that we are ending our liturgical year... And rather than summarizing everything we have experienced and celebrated during 2025, we must concentrate on the essentials: To become aware of our problems, difficulties and concerns and to seek in Jesus, Our Lord, the light and strength necessary so that we may face the historical moment we are living in a lucid and sensible way. The prophet Malachi announces the comi

fariseo y el pecador The Lord is not far from His faithful T he refrain of response to the psalm sums up this Sunday’s message of God’s Word very well. He is not far away, he does not turn a deaf ear to the prayer of his children, especially the humblest. Though not unduly partial toward the weak, yet he hears the cry of the oppressed. The parable of the two men praying in the temple invites us to reflect on the way we do our personal prayer. What things could we change and

G od is not at all like the judge in The Parable. God knows very well the injustices suffered by the poor and unprotected... of all his sons and daughters. And from his mercy he comes in favor of all of us. The message of the Gospel is clear, it is good news: God is on the side of the defenseless. It is not like the judges of this world who favor the powerful and influential more. Jesus reminds his disciples (all Christians) that we must always put our trust in the Father
