Solemnity of Corpus Christi

The eternal Word of the Father who is Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word, Son of God, has fulfilled his promise to stay with us forever, becoming Bread of life and Drink of salvation in the sacrament of his Body and blood which is the Eucharist; the real and sacramental presence of Christ that we worship today from #Iglesiadoméstica, because of the particular situation of the #pandemia that plagues us. Although in some places the Solemnity of Corpus Christi was celebrated last Thursday, we propose for this Sunday the readings of this liturgy.

Today and Tomorrow of a Pandemic (11)

Cuban narrator, essayist and critic Margarita Mateo finds the idea of returning to what many already call new normalcy unpleasant. He fears that this new normality will be very similar to the previous one and reproduce the same patterns. For the university professor, this would lead us to “continue to live in a world where values continue to prevail that far from contributing to the improvement of the human species, tend to promote the worst of it, including epidemic idiocy and attachment to the banal”.

That certainty is Christian hope.”

Solemnity of the Holy Trinity

The Word is Jesus Christ, the eternal Word of the Father, through whom it has been revealed and spoken to us in the fullness of time, the Logos before all and embodied in the virginal bosom of Mary. In the Church every Sunday the Word is proclaimed in the celebration of the Eucharist as a light that illuminates the world and every human being. With the desire to make this Word closer, from the suggestion of our Archbishop Cardinal Juan de la Caridad, we begin this new section in #Palabra New Digital. We intend to facilitate the reading in private or as a family of the readings of each Sunday or public holiday, which will lead us to personal or community prayer, to the contemplation of the mystery and to the incarnate and committed meditation of its contents, that is, to the encounter with Christ, the Word, which guides our steps on the path of life.
