«The bread and the wine»
While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then He broke it into pieces and gave it to His disciples, saying, “Take it, for this is My body.” And He took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them, saying, “This is My blood,…

«Denying Jesus»
As He was nearing His farewell, Jesus told His disciples that they would be sifted like wheat. It was then that Peter declared, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, not only to prison, but also to death.” Peter was very confident in his convictions and believed he would never fail the Savior—much like…

«Unreachable mountains»
One day, Jesus and His disciples stood before a mountain, and He said to them: «Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Move and throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.» The Lord…

«Dangerous times»
We are living in dangerous times. Violence is spreading in the streets. Many people are brazenly turning to robbery, even willing to kill for dishonest gain. Amidst it all, every morning we go out to work or study, entrusting ourselves to God’s protection. Jesus asked, “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not…

«Shine for God»
Jesus’ work on earth was directed towards those living in darkness. The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost. That’s why He said of Himself: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” The discipleship initiated by Jesus…

«The first place»
Noticing how the guests were choosing the best seats at the table, Jesus said to them: “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit in the place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you has been invited by him, and the one who invited both of you comes and…

«Temptation and evil»
Jesus concluded His model prayer by inviting us to say: “And do not let us yield to temptation, but deliver us from evil.” Temptation is an invitation to break God’s laws and to sever the bridge of friendship with the Creator. Of course, temptation never tells us this. It only presents us with an attractive…

«Men of little faith»
Jesus was on a boat with His disciples when suddenly a great storm arose, and the waves crashed with all their fury. The boat was tossed uncontrollably, and the disciples were filled with fear. Strangely, the Savior was asleep in the midst of this crisis. The disciples, in their desperation, went to wake Him up,…
