Para la mayoría de las personas, Cuaresma es dejar de comer carne el miércoles de ceniza y los viernes de cuaresma ¿será realmente lo que Dios quiere de nosotros al hablar de Penitencia? ¿Dejar de comer carne por un gran plato de mariscos o pescado, o bien dejar la carne, pero seguir enojado con el hermano, gritarles a los hijos, quejarme de todo, murmurar de los demás?

Appreciating invisible grace of the Eucharist

Begin again
The Fourth Week of Lent can seem like the 13th mile of a marathon. Will I ever reach the finish line? How much longer until Easter?
The Roaring-er Twenties?
The last time we had a decade known as the “20s” or the “Twenties,” it didn’t end so well. A.D. 1929 saw a coping with the Wall St. crash, the oncoming Great Depression, and some OGs in Chicago saw to it that the word “massacre” could always go together with “St. Valentine’s Day”.
Serie Cuaresmal: El Examen de Consciencia
“Una vida sin examen no merece la pena ser vivida” es una frase atribuida al filósofo griego Sócrates descrito en la obra Apología de Sócrates escrita en el año 399 a. C. por su discípulo Platón. Platón transcribió en la Apología de Sócrates los diálogos que Sócrates sostuvo ante el tribunal de Atenas en la cual fue sentenciado a muerte por liberar a los jóvenes atenienses de la ignorancia con sus enseñanzas. “Una vida sin examen no merece la pena ser vivida” es la conclusión que Sócrates usa para justificar sus métodos de enseñanza que apelan por sobre todo a la importancia de examinarse a sí mismo y a los demás para mantener una actitud crítica sobre nuestros actos y sobre nuestras vidas con el fin último de evolucionar para ser la mejor persona que podemos ser.
