La Armonía dentro del Matrimonio

Last updated on: November 11, 2019 at 4:26 pm By Joel de Loera

“El matrimonio fue ordenado por Dios como una bendición para la humanidad. Un cierto hombre sabio en las Escrituras, al enumerar qué bendiciones son las más importantes, incluyó a ‘los esposos que viven en armonía’ (La Sabiduría de Sirácides 25: 1) “. -San Juan Crisóstomo (347-407 DC) La armonía es el arreglo agradable de diferentes partes. En música, la armonía es la “unión y combinación de sonidos simultáneos y diferentes, pero acordes” (Real Academia Española). Pero el sonido agradable de una armonía melodiosa en la música no aparece por... Read more

Inviting Harmony into Your Marriage

Last updated on: November 11, 2019 at 4:26 pm By Joel de Loera

“Marriage was ordained by God as a blessing to the human race. A certain wise man in the Scriptures, when enumerating which blessings are the most important, included ‘a wife and husband who live in harmony’ (The Wisdom of Sirach 25:1).” -St. John Chrysostom (347-407 AD) Harmony is the pleasing arrangement of different parts. In music, harmony is “the combination of simultaneously sounded musical notes to produce chords and chord progressions having a pleasing effect” (Oxford Dictionary). But the pleasing... Read more

¿Animaríamos a nuestros hijos a morir por nuestra fe?

Last updated on: November 10, 2019 at 2:43 pm By Joel de Loera

Reflexión dominical para la familia (ver 2 Mc 7: 1-2,9-14) “Sucedió también que siete hermanos con su madre fueron detenidos. El rey quería obligarlos, azotándolos con látigos y nervios de buey, a comer carne de cerdo, prohibida por la ley. Uno de ellos, en nombre de todos, habló así: «¿Qué quieres saber al interrogarnos? Estamos dispuestos a morir, antes que faltar a las leyes de nuestros antepasados.»” -2 Macabeos 7: 1-2 Aquí tenemos una familia desafiando las órdenes de un cruel... Read more

Would we encourage our children to die for our faith?

Last updated on: November 10, 2019 at 2:15 pm By Joel de Loera

Today’s Family Sunday Reflection (see 2 Mc 7:1-2,9-14) “It happened that seven brothers with their mother were arrested and tortured with whips and scourges by the king, to force them to eat pork in violation of God’s law.

We are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our ancestors.” -2 Maccabees 7:1-2 Here we have a family defying the orders... Read more

U.S. Catholic Bishops praise new immigration bill

Last updated on: June 5, 2019 at 7:47 am By Joel de Loera

The USCCB applauds the passing of a new immigration legislation that would provide a pathway to citizenship to thousands of immigrants. I encourage every Catholic to leave their political banner aside and support this effort that would provide legal protection to many immigrants. I’ve heard many Catholics repeatedly say that undocumented immigrants should be here the legal way or that they should somehow become “legalized.” This would be a “legal” way for them to obtain permanent residency and eventual citizenship....

Media misreport Dutch teen Noa Pothoven’s death as euthanasia

Last updated on: June 5, 2019 at 6:47 am By Joel de Loera

According to new reports she in fact did ask to be euthanized but the hospital refused. It appears to be more of a case of suicide and not euthanasia. Her story is nonetheless tragic and we must continue to bring awareness to and take action against rape and all forms of... Read more
