Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies

My recent heart surgery Is a great gift that has added years to my life. Far better however is the new heart God gives us in Christ that brings eternal life!

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

Death is seen by most of us as an enemy or a foe. But God uses it to invite all people to surrender to him and to be saved. 

Homilia del padre Carlos. 

We are called to be humble before the Lord in both prayer and life. When we see others doing wrong we can judge acts, but not persons, but instead recognize our need for God's mercy And help others know God's mercy for them.

The scriptures encourage us today to continue to pray against all our adversaries,  these include the things that we face personally in this life, but also together as a church against the unjust structures of our world.

Why doesn't God just heal us miraculously when we're sick and ask for it? Why doesn't God just send us his grace without us needing to go to church and receive the sacraments?

A few stories to help understand what is God's desire for us. In all our busyness we can miss the point of life. 

Homilia del padre Carlos

Like the priest and the Levite we can find laws and good reasons to treat one another bad badly and not show compassion and mercy. Jesus calls us to not miss the forest because of the trees. Our laws are meant to help us live together in a loving community.
