26º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

by Fr. John Muir  |  09/28/2025  |  From the Clergy

Me avergüenza admitir que a menudo me encuentro cenando y socializando con personas que tienen millones y, a veces, miles de millones de dólares. He comido más caviar, langosta y filete wagyu que la mayoría de la gente del planeta. Lo justifico diciendo que es parte de mi trabajo. Pero tengo siete pares de vaqueros bonitos y zapatos caros.

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time

by Fr. John Muir  |  09/28/2025  |  From the Clergy

I am embarrassed to admit that I frequently find myself dining and socializing with people who have millions and sometimes billions of dollars. I’ve eaten more caviar, lobster and wagyu steak than most people on the planet. I justify it by saying it’s part of my job. But I have seven pairs of nice jeans and expensive shoes.

La exaltación de la Santa Cruz Juan 3:13-17

by Padre John Muir  |  09/14/2025  |  From the Clergy

Una de mis películas favoritas es la comedia de 1991 ¿Qué pasa con Bob? Bill Murray interpreta a un hipocondríaco paranoico y problemático llamado Bob Wiley que, de forma inocente pero molesta, acosa al Dr. Leo Marvin, interpretado por Richard Dreyfuss. Bob está paralizado por su miedo a, bueno, todo, y está convencido de que el psicólogo puede curarlo. Pero los intentos fallidos del Dr. Marvin por curar a Bob terminan llevando al médico a intentar asesinarlo. Fracasa. La sorpresa es que, tras enfrentarse a la muerte, Bob se cura de repente. Atribuye su curación al Dr. Marvin por su innovadora «terapia de la muerte». Al enfrentarse a la causa de su enfermedad y disfunción más profundas, Bob se cura.

The Exaltation of the Holy Cross John 3:13-17

by Fr. John Muir  |  09/14/2025  |  From the Clergy

One of my favorite movies is the 1991 comedy What About Bob? Bill Murray plays a troubled, paranoid hypochondriac named Bob Wiley who innocently but annoyingly hounds Dr. Leo Marvin, played by Richard Dreyfuss. Bob is paralyzed by his fear of, well, everything, and is convinced the psychologist can heal him. But Dr. Marvin’s failed attempts to heal Bob end up driving the doctor to attempt to murder Bob. He fails. The surprise is that, having faced death head on, Bob is suddenly healed. He attributes his healing to Dr Marvin for break-through “death therapy.” In facing the cause of his deepest illness and dysfunction, Bob is healed.

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus: The Way of the True Disciple

by Deacon Juan Carlos Palomar  |  09/07/2025  |  From the Clergy

Today's Gospel tells us that a large crowd was traveling with Jesus, but turning to his disciples, he tells them what it means to follow him: "...turning to his disciples, he said... Whoever does not take up his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:26-27).

If we consider ourselves disciples and not part of the crowd, these words of Jesus are for us, but what does it mean or understand by "taking up the cross and following Jesus?"

Tomar la Cruz y Seguir a Jesús: El Camino del Verdadero Discípulo

by Diácono Juan Carlos Palomar  |  09/07/2025  |  From the Clergy

El evangelio de hoy domingo nos dice que caminaba junto a Jesús una gran muchedumbre, pero él volviéndose a sus discípulos les dice lo que implica seguirlo, “…volviéndose a sus discípulos les dijo… Y el que no cargue con su cruz y me siga no puede ser mi discípulo” (Lc.14:26-27).

Si nos consideramos discípulos y no de la muchedumbre estas palabras de Jesús son para nosotros, pero significa o qué entendemos por “cargar con la cruz y seguir a Jesús”.
