What's Happening

29 de septiembre: Fiesta de los Santos Arcángeles

San Miguel, en Hebreo, significa: “¿Quién como Dios?” San Miguel es uno de los principales ángeles; su nombre era el grito de guerra de los ángeles buenos en la batalla librada en el cielo en contra del enemigo y sus seguidores. Su nombre se encuentra cuatro veces en la Escritura: Daniel 10,13-21; Daniel 12; en […]

September 29: Feast of the Holy Archangels

As we celebrate the Feast of the Archangels today, we remember that the word ‘angel’ comes from the Greek, aggelos, a messenger. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word mal’ak was applied to both human and divine messengers. Certain mighty figures, later known as Archangels, appear in the Book of Daniel. A wide variety of […]

He still inspires us today to ask for the grace to […]

September 25-26: Preparing to Celebrate this Sunday’s Mass

One of the features seen throughout St. Mark’s Gospel is an honest and compelling treatment of “discipleship.” Disciples (or “followers”) in the ancient world would seek out a teacher or rabbi and “follow” or “come after” him. Discipleship involved not only learning from the teacher, but developing a personal relationship with him. St. Mark recounts […]

25-26 de septiembre: Preparándonos para Celebrar la Misa Dominical

En el pasaje Evangélico que vamos a compartir el domingo que viene (Marcos 9, 38-43. 47-48), vemos cómo Jesús sigue adoctrinando a sus discípulos sobre la misión, pero el Espíritu se da a todos y no solamente a unos grupos. De ahí que Jesús pone en guardia a los suyos contra la tentación de la […]
