– por Romano Guardini Tomás, al que apodaban el Gemelo, y que era uno de los doce, no estaba con los discípulos cuando llegó Jesús. Así que los otros discípulos le dijeron: —¡Hemos visto al Señor! —Mientras no vea yo la marca de los clavos en sus manos, y meta mi dedo en las marcas y mi mano en […]
Fíjense bien, queridos hermanos: el misterio de Pascua es a la vez nuevo y antiguo, eterno y pasajero, corruptible e incorruptible, mortal e inmortal. Antiguo según la ley, pero nuevo según la Palabra encarnada. Pasajero en su figura, pero eterno por la gracia. Corruptible por el sacrificio del cordero, pero incorruptible por la vida del […]
Toda nuestra vida presente debe discurrir en la alabanza de Dios, porque en ella consistirá la alegría sempiterna de la vida futura; y nadie puede hacerse idóneo de la vida futura, si no se ejercita ahora en esta alabanza. Ahora, alabamos a Dios, pero también le rogamos. Nuestra alabanza incluye la alegría, la oración, el […]

John 15: 11 “So that my joy may be in you, and your joy complete” Jesus never does things in half-measures. When it comes to joy he wants our joy to be complete. Nothing missing. Our verse reads, “that your joy may be complete”. Sometimes it’s translated “that your joy may be full.” This reminds me of the […]
Before I encountered the community in Ann Arbor, Michigan while I was studying, I was really only living a nominal Catholic life, and going to Mass on Sunday was my only Christian activity. The experience with the community completely changed my life, and gave me a renewed faith, and desire to share it with others. […]
John 15: 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” The metaphor of the vine and the branches says to us that we have to stay connected (“abide”) to the […]
Over this past year, we have discovered great joy in living and serving together as Bethany sisters from two different Christian traditions and cultures, but who share the call to live single for the Lord and the call to Christian unity. Growing up a charismatic Christian from a Lutheran missionary background, I, Christiane, always experienced […]
