What's Happening

24 de julio: San Chárbel Makhlouf

La Iglesia celebra hoy al gran San Chárbel Makhlouf, quien fue un sacerdote, monje, y ermitaño del “rito maronita.” Además, es conocido por obtener milagros de Dios no sólo para los católicos, sino también para musulmanes y de otras religiones.  A la edad de 23 años San Chárbel dejó en silencio a su familia. Viajó […]

July 23: The Day of the Lord

As we have heard before, the Scripture readings for the Sunday Mass have been chosen so that there is always an intimate link between the first reading and the Gospel.

July 22-23: Preparing to Celebrate Sunday’s Mass

During the past century, The London Times newspaper asked a number of authors to write on the topic: “What is wrong with the world?” The noted author and convert to Catholicism G. K. Chesterton’s answer was the shortest of those submitted – he simply wrote: “Dear Sirs, I am. Sincerely yours, G.K. Chesterton.” No one […]

July 22 / 22 de julio: St. Mary Magdalene / Sta. María Magdalena

In the long tradition of the Church, including its artistic tradition, St. Mary Magdalene has generally been portrayed as “the repentant sinner.” This is largely due to her being mistakenly identified with the sinful woman who washed the feet of Jesus with her tears and dried them with her hair. There is no evidence in […]
