May we open ourselves to transfiguration, and let God use us to help transfigure the world.
“Love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.”
«Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo. Yo soy el Señor».
Thanks be to God, Jesus resisted these temptations. But these same temptations are still put before us
If our perception of the “other” is causing us to sin, we need to throw it away no matter how attached we are to it, and listen to what Jesus says!
Si nuestra manera de percibir al “otro” nos está llevando a pecar, debemos desecharla, por más apegados que estemos a ella, y escuchar lo que Jesús nos dice.
If our perception of the “other” is causing us to sin, we need to throw it away no matter how attached we are to it, and listen to what Jesus says!
“Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own.”
Blessed are they who refuse to be numb to the sufferings of others, even those halfway across the world.
