«Double miracle»
Jesus was in a completely packed house, preaching the Word of God. Four men arrived, carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher. Since they could not bring him to Jesus, they made a hole in the roof. Then they lowered the man on the stretcher, right in front of the Savior. Seeing their faith, the…

«Our daily bread»
A central part of the “Our Father” prayer deals with our daily needs. Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Some might think this teaching is outdated, as today’s wages are paid weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Following this line of thought, perhaps the correct prayer should be, “Give us this…

«I desire mercy»
One day of rest, while Jesus was walking through some fields, His disciples picked some heads of grain and ate them. Some religious leaders said, “Why are they breaking the law by harvesting grain on the day of rest?” It’s fascinating to highlight what Jesus sees versus what radical people see in the same situation:…

«The lesson of the fig tree»
Jesus warned his disciples: “Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branches sprout and leaves begin to appear, you know that summer is near. In the same way, when you see all these things happening, you will know that my return is very near, right at the door.” The Second Coming of Christ…

«The thief»
People don’t talk much anymore about the influence of evil in the world. The spiritual forces of wickedness have strategically hidden behind secularism, trying to make us believe that their activity has ceased. Jesus warns us that this evil influence is still active when He says, “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy.”…

«The most important»
Jesus drew the attention of the religious leaders, saying to them, “What sorrow awaits you, Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.” In those times, the…

«Double religious morality»
It was two days before Passover. The chief priests and the teachers of the religious law were still looking for an opportunity to secretly capture Jesus and kill Him. But they said, “Not during the Passover celebration, or the people may riot.” What do you think of this double standard? “We must kill the Son…

«Secret help»
One of the virtues that Jesus has taught us is to have mercy on others. Mercy is feeling compassion for those who suffer and offering them help. God is pleased with merciful men and women, those who act in private, simply to help, without expecting anything in return. Jesus said it in these words: “Be…

«True friends»
Have you ever wondered how many real friends you truly have? True friends, those you can rely on during times of adversity, doubt, reflection, and intimacy. The truth is, it’s difficult to find friends in such a competitive world. But just as we seek friends who understand us, we might also ask ourselves: Am I…

«Who is Jesus truly?»
Jesus was walking with His disciples and asked them, «Who do people say that I am?» They replied, «Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.» Some people associated Jesus with John the Baptist because, at the beginning, both preached the same message: «The Kingdom of Heaven is near.»…
