He Has Risen! ¡Jesús ha resucitado!

Jesus Has Risen! He Will Always Rise. For He is Alive And He is Our Salvation. May the joy and the hope of our risen Christ be yours always so that you can take them with you to your homes and families. May Christ rise in your lives! You are in my prayers and in my heart.

The Holiest of Weeks La Semana más Santa

The Holiest of Weeks I think that the best spiritual guidance I can share with you, my dear sisters and brothers, is to try to be attentive as much as you possibly can to the events in Jesus’ life that we remember this week. Do what you can to be aware of Jesus’ passion and all the reasons (the life and example) that took Jesus to these events. Pick up your bibles, open them to the Gospel passages that recount the events of Jesus’ last few days. Bring them to life in your minds and in your hearts. Please do what you can to join the community in the various liturgical services during Holy Week. Let them nourish your spiritual life and strengthen your faith and love for God. We...

A Spiritual Practice for Holy Week / Una práctica espiritual para la Semana Santa

A Spiritual Practice for Holy Week As we approach Holy Week we prepare ourselves to remember our Lord’s suffering and crucifixion. It is a time of lamentation as we remember the cruelty that was heaped upon Him. We are given the opportunity to open a greater space within us for compassion to take root and for compassion to become a value and practice in our lives. As we enter Holy Week allow me to suggest to open your minds and hearts to the suffering of so many in our world. The evening news gives us only a selected portion of the suffering that besieges so many people. Sometimes the news doesn’t even do that due to the fact that it focuses on events and not people. It informs us...

Here We Go Again! ¡Aquí vamos de nuevo!

Here We Go Again! War again. More suffering again. More innocent people and children slaughtered again. Will it ever end!? It doesn’t matter what side one picks. The destruction, the killing, the slaughter, the fear continues and remains the same. And who is at fault? Humanity is. When will we ever learn not to set the stage for war? When will humanity ever learn to come together for the sake of a peaceful and secure world? When will humanity ever come out of its tribal mentality and thirst for control and power? In the meantime, we all suffer even if the war is far from our doorsteps. Even if the bombs don’t land on our soil and homes. We all suffer in one way or another and humanity runs the risk...

Beautifying Our Church With Love and Devotion / Embelleciendo Nuestra Iglesia con Amor y Devoción

Beautifying Our Church With Love and Devotion It is my hope that you like how our church remodel is coming along. Many have asked if it will be completed by Easter and the answer is “no.” There is still much to be done. Please realize that most of the work is being done by volunteers from our parish family. To them we owe our appreciation for the time, work, sacrifice, and generosity that they are sharing with all of us. We are so rich in talent. Our members share their talents with all of us every time I ask them to. I, especially, am very grateful and proud of them. Words are not enough to express my gratitude on behalf of all of us. Please keep them...
