Fe en Cristo es Una Fe Eucarística

DVRodriguez2021-06-13T07:35:13-04:00

Estamos aquí en la tierra para creer que Jesús es el Cristo y el Hijo de Dios, y para que creyendo tengamos vida eterna en Él. Todos los oraciones de la octava pascual ponen hincapié en la fe - específicamente en el bautismo y la fe eucarística. ¡Sin tal fe, uno no realmente puede creer en Jesús! Este año pasado has sido claro que tan pobre y pequeña es la fe eucarística dentro de la iglesia católica. En vez de que Jesús influye todo lo que hacemos, es el virus y la vacuna que influyen todas nuestras decisiones y acciones. ¿Qué [...]

Mission of Grace and Truth

DVRodriguez2021-06-05T06:59:58-04:00

The mission of the Holy Ghost is to give testimony of Jesus by leading men into all truth and bestowing that grace which divinizes souls, forming Jesus Christ in them. But He does not do this work alone. He does it in union with the Blessed Virgin Mary. This pattern is clearly seen at the Incarnation and at Pentecost. He descends in response to Mary's prayer, faith and love. With the Holy Ghost, Our Lady forms Christ in souls, enabling one to think and act like her Son. With the Holy Ghost, Our Lady always witnesses to the truth. For example, [...]

Aspire to be a Holy Catholic Mother

DVRodriguez2021-05-30T06:05:08-04:00

Motherhood is so important, that in the order of grace, God gives us two mothers: His own Mother and the Church. The world devalues motherhood because it is so lost. Resist this temptation. Look to the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be your model. Pray that the Holy Ghost will shape your heart after hers. Three recommendations: [1] Our Lady never ceases praying and offering sacrifices for us her children. Imitate her. [2] Live and teach the virtues opposite the great vices of heresy, blasphemy and impurity. [3] Feed and nourish you children spiritually. Bring them to the Holy Eucharist.

La Pascua Nos Enfoca En La Fe

DVRodriguez2021-05-27T08:37:41-04:00

Durante la Octava de Pascua, la Iglesia nos da ejemplo tras ejemplo de la suma importancia de creer en Cristo Resucitado. El bautismo y la Fe verdadera resaltan en los evangelios de esta semana, pues en estos dos temas se enfoque el tiempo pascual. Por ejemplo, el Gran Mandamiento que Jesús deja a sus Apóstoles y a su Santa Iglesia es: enseñar a todas las naciones la verdad y bautizarlas. Es decir, llamar todo el mundo a la fe - a creer en Él.

First Holy Communion

DVRodriguez2021-05-21T15:20:14-04:00

In the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist, Our Savior Jesus Christ gives us the gift of Himself, so that every single time we approach this great Mystery, we are able to express our Faith in Him. We should tell Him, from the depths of our heart, that we love Him above all things and that we desire to possess Him in our soul. To strengthen your Eucharistic Faith: [1] See in the human priest of flesh and blood that Jesus Christ is always the Eternal High Priest at Mass. [2] Detach your heart from the things of this world. [3] Turn [...]

Buscas El Crucificado Quien Resucito

DVRodriguez2021-05-18T07:23:28-04:00

¡Cristo venció la muerte y resucito! Nuestro Señor ha abierto las puertas de la eternidad. Reflexionemos en la conexión importantísima entre la resurrección, el bautismo, y la Pasión y Muerte de Jesucristo. Tristemente, la fiesta pascual no tiene el efecto que debe en las vidas de muchos católicos porque se alejan de la pasión y cruz de Cristo. En vez, debemos ser guiados por las oraciones de la santa liturgia y seguir el ejemplo de la Virgen Santísima. Así seremos llenados con una alegría indescriptible

Holy Communion and Fatima

DVRodriguez2021-05-13T18:41:04-04:00

The mission of the Holy Ghost is to bring Christ's work of redemption to fulfillment. He brings to souls the grace merited by Our Savior in His Passion and Death. He judges the world as to wether one believes and accepts - or rejects - Christ. Just as our Lady cooperated uniquely with Christ in Redemption, so she cooperates uniquely with the Holy Ghost in His mission, particularly through her apparition at at Fatima. She comes to warn the world of sin and judgment. She also brings the grace of her Son in a beautiful and special way, through devotion to [...]

Faith in Christ is a Eucharistic Faith

DVRodriguez2021-05-01T10:03:37-04:00

Our Savior gives us Himself in the Blessed Sacrament so that we may truly believe in Him. All the Easter Octave gospels emphasize that belief in Christ is centered upon the Holy Eucharist. Anyone who calls himself a Christian, but does not have this faith, is very confused. A conception of Christ without the Eucharist is terribly erroneous. Yet even those who profess this belief have a very weak and frail Eucharistic Faith. Has it been completely lost? Consider our lack of forgiveness, or our fear over sickness and death, or our willingness to believe the media and others to the [...]

Easter, Baptism and Faith

DVRodriguez2021-04-26T08:33:41-04:00

All the Gospels of the Easter Octave clearly have in common Our Lord's call to faith. This is of great significance. Christ exhorts us to truly place our faith in His passion, death and resurrection. In fact, with two words we can easily summarize the Church's focus during the Easter Season: Baptism and Faith. By Baptism we die and rise with Christ. What overcomes the world is our faith. A great danger is for the world to contaminate, and thereby overcome, our faith. To fight against such danger, pray for a lively faith and a greater devotion to Holy Communion. Know [...]

The Crucified One Is Risen

DVRodriguez2021-04-12T08:17:49-04:00

The Apostles give witness to the Resurrection, but they speak of Christ as our Pasch who is sacrificed. If one is looking for easy living and good times with Jesus - one will not find Him. We must seek Jesus of Nazareth who was Crucified. This is the Easter Message proclaimed by the angel. We make steps in faith by drawing near to the [glorious] wounds of the Risen Lord. Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer your thankful praises!
