Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

Jesus is the resurrection and the life, because of him, we have eternal life that starts not just after we die. But with our baptism. 

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

The man born blind was healed when Jesus put mud on his eyes and sent him to the pool. This allowed him to participate in his salvation like we do when we participate in the sacraments and church.

The scene of the transfiguration gives us hope on our journey through death to life, and reveals the entire plan of salvation history that God has worked since we first rebelled against him. 

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Jesus Is faithful where we weren't, and wins the victory we lost. He shares that victory against the devil, sin and death with us.

Christianity is not simply about following laws. Laws are important but the goal that Jesus is after us to transform our heart so that we live our lives according to the law in freedom and joy by the power of God in Christ Jesus. 

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

In the Beattitudes Jesus warned that those who follow him need to be different than the world. Today he tells us we are salt, and light. Salt transforms the world and helps bring about the kingdom of God. When our light shines, people see God's presence in our world. Jesus needs us to be salt that is salty and light that is shown not hidden.

To live the gospel in this world torn by sin is difficult and today Jesus warns us that and that it will cause us persecution and suffering. It's not only hard to live when we know the right thing, it's sometimes hard to apply it to the difficult situations of our lives. (The teachings of the church can help us in this area.) But let us not abandon the difficult task of applying the gospel to our...

A disciples is one who sees the world with the eyes of Jesus. To become a disciple is the call for all of us. But it is a miracle every time it happens pray for that miracle and do what's needed to make that miracle possible. 

How Jesus saves us has been attempted to be described by hundreds throughout the History of the church. But what atonement is, and how we respond, needs to be understood even if we can't describe fully how God does it. 

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

In baptism we are truly made God's children members of God's royal family. As such we can have confidence to walk boldly in this world free from all that holds us back, and free to serve the Lord and live fully the life he intends for all his children. 

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

The Wisemen, or Magi, use their freedom and leisure time wisely on things that mattered; to find the ultimately meaning and purpose for life. We are all called to make a similar journey and not to fall into the trap of using our freedom to enslave ourselves, or our leisure to busy ourselves from this important task. Jesus promises that if we embark upon this journey, using our natural Insight, and...

Homilia del padre Carlos 

A Holy Family is not an ideal family it is a family that puts Jesus at its center. It does everything for Jesus and looks to God for direction and protection. 

Homilia del padre Carlos b

That there is a God is, for many,  difficult enough to believe. But even more difficult is that; that God through whom all things were created would enter into his creation! Yet that it's exactly what we celebrate and remember on Christmas. What an awesome gift we've been given! 

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Joseph and Mary were definitely in a difficult situation when Mary was found to be with child but Joseph remained righteous, that is following God, and Mary and Joseph did God's will, allowing salvation and the power of God to be unleashed in their lives for them and for us!
