5 Religious Sisters with Different Stories but a Shared Love of Christ

Sister Mary Eucharista, Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Church in Spokane, Washington

Sister was once a member of the Religious Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen (Congregatio Mariae Reginae Immaculate – CMRI) and lived in community at Mount St. Michael (“the Mount”) in Spokane. The CMRIs were initially founded with approval of Church authorities, but went on to embrace sedevacantism and separate from the Church. As sedevacantists, they do not accept the legitimacy of any of the popes since the close of the Second Vatican Council.

Sister and 14 others in her community left the Mount and returned to full communion with the Church. They were told in 2007 by CMRI superior, Bishop Mark Pivarunas, to leave the Mount because of their views. Most stayed in religious life; some began new communities under different Catholic bishops in the U.S. …

Bible, Acts of the Apostles 6

Chapter 11 explains what Peter went through. We start to see the timing of Paul’s conversion and Peter’s experience. It was in preparation for Paul to be the apostle to the Gentiles. In verse 19, this plan begins to be revealed. Because of the persecution of Stephen, which Paul encouraged, Paul is now coming to Antioch. Continue reading “Bible, Acts of the Apostles 6”

Domingo V del tiempo ordinario ciclo B 2018

Jesús vino a enseñarnos, a decirnos, que el reino de Dios estaba cerca y que, si queríamos entrar en él, debíamos previamente convertirnos. Jesús, todos los días de su vida pública, predicaba y enseñaba: “vámonos a las aldeas cercanas para predicar allí, que para eso he venido”. Jesús era todo él palabra, voz de Dios, que enseñaba y predicaba el reino de Dios. Pero, además de hablar y predicar, Jesús curaba. Allí mismo, en la Sinagoga, había curado a un hombre poseído de un espíritu inmundo y, en cuanto sale de la Sinagoga, en la casa de Pedro, cura “a la suegra de Simón que estaba en la cama con fiebre”. No se puede dudar que una de las causas primeras por las que la gente busca a Jesús es para que cure a sus enfermos; la gente sencilla veía a Jesús como a un poderoso taumaturgo, capaz de curar y expulsar demonios. En los evangelios, esto aparece de una forma evidente. Y, además de enseñar y curar, Jesús rezaba: “se levantó de madrugada, se marchó al descampado y allí se puso a rezar”. El día a día de Jesús era eso: enseñar, curar, rezar. Esta es también la tarea que debemos apuntar nosotros, cada día, en nuestra agenda: predicar con amor y valentía el reino de Dios; curar a las personas que, por los motivos que sea, se encuentran por sí mismas incapaces de descubrir este reino; rezar con toda nuestra alma para que Jesús nos muestre el camino que nos conduce al Reino de su Padre y nos ayude a todos a entrar en él.
