Fr. Schuessler’s reflexión para el 3-29-24
¡FELICES PASCUAS! Hemos escuchado el estribillo: No hay Pascua sin Viernes Santo. Si tu vida es más Viernes Santo que Pascua, recuerda: No tenemos que mirar muy lejos para ver el sufrimiento. Está en nuestro mundo, en nuestra comunidad, en nuestra vida. ¿Por qué Dios permite esto? ¿Dónde está Dios cuando hay dolor? Es en estos momentos cuando debemos mirar lo que le sucedió a Jesús. […]
Fr. Schuessler’s Reflection 3-29-24
HAPPY EASTER! We have heard the refrain: There is no Easter without Good Friday. If your life is more Good Friday than Easter, please remember: We do not have to look far to see suffering. It is in our world, in our community, in our life. Why does God allow this? Where is God when […]

Carta de P. Geary, 3-31-2024 – Español
Jesucristo ha resucitado, ¡aleluya, aleluya! Que el cielo y la tierra se regocijen con gozo y alegría. Jesucristo ha roto las puertas de la muerte que ataban a todos los hombres a causa del pecado. La muerte ha sido derrotada; La vida eterna comienza ahora. La tristeza de la tumba se ha convertido en alegría. El Señor ha resucitado, como dijo, ¡aleluya! Ha surgido la esperanza. El pecado ya no puede esclavizarnos. El perdón y la nueva vida están asegurados para los que creen. Nuestros cuerpos y almas están destinados a la gloria celestial gracias a Jesucristo. Lo que era incorruptible se ha revestido de incorruptibilidad. Ahora podemos decir con gran confianza: “Muerte, ¿dónde está tu aguijón? Oh sepulcro, ¿dónde está tu victoria?” (cf. 1 Corintios 15:54-55). Nuestra peregrinación terrena tiene un destino eterno. El sufrimiento ofrecido construye una promesa de gloria eterna. Los fieles ahora […]
