Reflection: Mark 10:2-16 The first reading recalls what was the beginning of all things. It tells it in a romantic way. Maybe it wasn’t exactly like that, but the most important thing is contained in that story: man and woman met and recognized each other. The look did not stop at the eyes. It reached […]
Reflection: Mathew 18:1-5,10 Today we celebrate the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. Life is a journey, along which we must be helped by companions, by protectors, by guides that guard us against dangers, and from the traps we might encounter along the way. The Lord promises us, His people, special helpers who travel […]
Reflection: Luke 10: 1-12 The Mission of Jesus was to show the true face of God to the world. He begins his work by forming a community of disciples. They apply a very simple method: to visit homes and begin with a simple greeting: “Peace be to this house!”. Although it appears simple, it is […]

If someone successfully occupies the field where we are called to carry […]
Reflection: Luke 9: 43-45 “The Son of Man will be handed over to men.” Last Sunday we have reflected on this verse, of course from the narration of St. Mark. Father Armellini had given a beautiful explanation for this. Jesus says he will be handed over to men. Who will hand him over? Who could […]
Reflection: Luke 9:18-22 From the very beginning of Jesus’ ministry – with the temptation in the wilderness, the devil tried to get Jesus to confess his true identity. We read in the gospels, that the devil was telling Jesus: If you are the righteous one, if you are the Son of God, do this! Do […]
