“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word. (Luke 1:38)

“Be sure that you first preach by the way you live. If you do not, people will notice that you say one thing, but live otherwise, and your words will bring only cynical laughter and a derisive shake of the head.” (St. Charles Borromeo)

“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind…[and] your neighbor as yourself.” (Mat. 22:37 & 39)

September 2, 2018 –

December 23, 2018 - 4th Sunday of Advent “For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:44) When you hear the scripture readings and Gospel reading each Sunday, do you “leap for joy?” If not, don’t blame the lecturer or priest, rather look inside yourself. Do you prepare for Mass each week or do you just show up and expect to be entertained? We are called to be active participants, not passive by-standers. 23 de diciembre de 2018 - 4º domingo de Adviento "Porque cuando la voz de tu saludo llegó a mis oídos, el niño saltó de alegría en mi vientre" (Lucas 1:44) Cuando escuchas las lecturas de las Escrituras y la lectura del Evangelio todos los domingos, ¿"saltas de alegría"? Si no, no culpes al profesor o al sacerdote, sino mira dentro de ti. ¿Te preparas para la Misa cada semana o simplemente te apareces y esperas que te entretengan?
