Easter Sunday

4 April, 2021 Webmáster 0
hallelujah! Christ lives, the Lord is risen! It is the cry that resonates from the Easter Vigil throughout the universal Church. It is the expression of joy and hope of all Christians who celebrate with joy and joy the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, their victory over sin and death, their transition from death to life. In the Easter season we inaugurate today, we must ask the Lord, as his grace and gift, to “appear” also to us, to touch our hearts, to soften our hardnesses, to heal our wounds, to heal our diseases, to make us feel his living presence, all powerful and close, in the midst of so much misery, suffering, pain and death. Only from the experience of the Risen One can we be his witnesses, authentic and reliable, as were his first disciples; witnesses of the light that overcomes darkness, of the truth that overcomes the lie, of life that overcomes death.

Resurrection Sunday Allocution

4 April, 2021 Webmáster 0
“Christ is risen, truly risen”. And to be a sure that the Son of God is reborn every day in our lives, Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana proposes to review the presence of Jesus in the daily life of a good Christian: “I experience that I am loved, I never feel alone, I feel great love for my brothers and sisters, I live the experience and culture of forgiveness. I’ve stopped fearing, even death. My king is love, I have peace and confidence and I transmit them, I always notice fresh the flower of hope. I feel in me a source of joy that is not exhausted. In my nights I always have a light, my sufferings already make sense by the cross. I am not seduced by the gods of the earth; the poor are my favorites, I’d rather give my life than take it away. I hope and advance the kingdom of life, I await the triumphant return of Jesus Christ, I glory on the cross. I only wait in Jesus.” If so, he says, “Christ is risen, truly risen.”

Blessed guano and other religious signs remind us that we are celebrating Holy Week. Cardinal Juan de la Caridad García, Archbishop of Havana invited everyone, as far as possible, to place religious signs in our homes during this time. “Seeing them, he said, will help us live a good Easter.” In his an allocution this Palm Sunday, he asked families to eat together around the table. “Let us do a little prayer before we eat and discuss, like Jesus and the Apostles, how to love each other more. Before we sleep, like Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, let us pray together the Our Father with the children of the house and the next day, before we go out into the street, let us make a sign of the cross on the forehead of those who come out.”

Palm Sunday

27 March, 2021 Webmáster 0
With the celebration of Palm Sunday or Passion Sunday we enter Holy Week, holy days in which we will celebrate the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord, his Passover, a founding event of our faith in Christ who died and risen for us and for our salvation. For all Christians these are days of silence and prayer, of contemplation of the mystery of the Father’s extreme love for each of us, manifested in Christ’s free and voluntary offering of one’s own life. To look to Christ, to listen to Christ, to accompany Christ, to let us question Christ, to identify with Christ. are guidelines that can help us live more intensely at the Lord’s Passover.

Fifth Sunday of Lent

21 March, 2021 Webmáster 0
How many crises, moments of darkness, suffering, enmities, pains… are diluted by looking at Christ crucified, naked and wounded! How many clothes we have left in the life behind which we sweeten reality, hide our miseries, fail to truth, accommodate religion! How necessary it is to look again at Christ crucified with the gaze of a child, without prejudice or complex, appreciating what hurts me and identifies with Him!
