To Jesus Through Mary
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Mary is assumed into heaven which means she went there body and soul. She did not die. In some countries this feast is called the Dormition, falling asleep. She did not experience death, which makes sense since she had no sin. This is one of the mysteries of our faith, like…

Get Up And Eat!
Dear Brothers and Sisters, The Church insists that we not take lightly that Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life and so this theme is repeated for three Sundays. The first Sunday was the multiplication of loaves and fish. The second Sunday we heard Christ’s Bread of Life discourse, and he told the crowds that…

To Believe Christ Is To See Him
Dear Brothers and Sisters, The gospel this week is a continuation of last week’s concerning the multiplication of the loaves and fish. Today we hear the Lord’s explanation of his word because surely, he did not come to solve world hunger, not did he come to say: eat, eat, eat! If this was the mission…

You Are The One With Five Loaves And Two Fish
Dear Brothers and Sisters, This is perhaps the most well-known gospel in all the bible. The multiplication of the loaves and fish is in all four gospels, which shows its importance.

Don’t Live Your Faith Like A Cat
Dear Brothers and Sisters, We have an enemy of our faith. Do you know what it is? It’s the ideal we have of Christianity. You think you need to reach a goal. St. Paul never speaks about a goal or the one he speaks about is very different from the one you have. Maybe your…

Touch Him With Faith!
Dear Brothers and Sisters, The psalm that was sung helps me a lot today. The refrain said: I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me. This is very profound. It is not to praise God because you are good, or because you come to Mass every week or because your parents were such…

What Is The Biggest Storm In This Gospel?
Dear Brothers and Sisters, In this Word of God today we can see the love He has for us but there are two ways to interpret it. One is to do so moralistically; by saying I have no faith; I am a mess like the disciples. In order not to suffer, I have to have…

The Seed Grows While You Sleep
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Every week we hear something about the fight to live our faith. Today what we hear is pure grace and that the Lord is coming and loves us without conditions and doesn’t demand anything from us. He gathers us from wherever we come with a tremendous tenderness even if we think…
