Reflections
May the Easter Alleluia resonate in our hearts
There are those whose hearts are separated from the rest of them. They are filled with bitterness and emptiness, pain, rejection and darkness; deprivation and hunger; disease, war and violence. There are those whose hearts are buried in them. May the emptiness of the tomb of Jesus open them up to the faith. May […]

Your wounds I cannot take pain apart and put myself back together. Am I left alone with the fissure in my heart? I have cried for healing. There is no man. You are not fixing my wounds my Lord. There is bleeding and You have left me Your Cross only. Am I left alone with […]
Continue ReadingPalm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
While contemplating the Passion we become closer to Our Lord. Let us be with the Lord in the moment of the rejection. God was rejected. He embraced and picked up all kinds rejections. Some of them have happened to us. Some of them we have showed to others. There are some of us who are […]
Continue ReadingAcceptance of the Cross
Today we see the Lord proclaiming his crucifixion the last time before the Last Supper begins. He explains plainly that He came for this very hour. From today we focus specifically on the role of the cross. At this stage acceptance of the cross is not only an invitation to follow Jesus Christ, but it […]

Come together all you who love our Mother, the Church. Come together all you who worry about Her. Come through Christ, with Christ and in Christ.

Continue ReadingOur life is stretched between the mountains of Transfiguration and Calvary
On the Mount of the Transfiguration the glory of God’s Kingdom was shining out of the Lord. Peter, James and John witnessed that very moment. They also saw Moses and Elijah coming from heaven as the servants of the Lord. Moses came to give testimony that the whole Law finds its fulfilment in Jesus. Elijah, […]
Continue ReadingRepent and believe in the Gospel
We have just entered Lent by the words “Repent, and believe in the Gospel” pronounced at each one of us individually. It happened at the very moment when ash was put on our forehead. In this way we have been invited to tear our hearts and to surrender them to Christ; we are invited to […]
Continue ReadingGod touches hearts even in the middle of their decay
After all the traumas of spiritual, moral, psychological and physical leprosy, the triumph of the evil one might have been announced. This has never happened, and the world still exists. After the evil one has shown his ugliness, the ocean of consolation is again at hand. This is the evidence of the triumph of the […]
Continue ReadingOn healing value of the hunger for God
We believe in One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. However, when we look at the most visible side, at everything that is marked by human conditions, we do not have enough living saints so we do not have a healthy Church. If God is placed only as the background of the praise, liturgy, morality, charity, […]
