Thomas Does Not Want To See Jesus, But To Touch Him!
Dear Brothers and Sisters, I like very much this expression on the first day of the week, Jesus came to the apostles. He came to them twice on this first day, last week and this week, and their experience with the Risen Lord changed them and made them new men. On this day they could…

Do You Choose Barabbas or Christ?
Dear Friends, Our king rides on a donkey. It is one of the hundreds of predictions of the Messiah, many centuries before Jesus Christ. Today he took these words to himself. Imagine a king on a donkey, not on a horse, no one would believe it. It would have been considered ridiculous. The gospel says…

Lent Is To Put Yourself In Front Of Christ
Dear Brothers and Sisters, We’re at the door of Easter, one week from Palm Sunday, and we have an opportunity to understand and dismantle a little bit the tendency to be moralistic, legalistic. We think that to be a Christian means to be good. There are many people who don’t believe in God who are…

Our Deaths Are Swallowed Up By Christ
Dear Brothers and Sisters, I don’t know if you noticed but we have magic doors in our church. I think they exist in a lot of churches. When someone walks in, they appear very happy. They have no judgments against anyone. They are not fighting with their spouse. They had no lustful or murderous thoughts….

Then You Will Be Children Of God
Dear Friends, If you come here sad today or overwhelmed or anxious about something the Word is perfect for you, especially the psalm: the Lord is kind and merciful. As far as the East is from the West that is as far as he will throw our sins so that we don’t see them. Every…

You Are The True Winners
Dear Brothers and Sisters, I’ve been to Mount Sinai where the Ten Commandments were delivered to Moses and due to the heat, we climbed it at 2:00 in the morning. It was an awesome experience. I’ve also been to the mountain of the Beatitudes where this gospel was proclaimed and in many other places. Even…
