From the Pastor's Desk

The queen of the south came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Salomon.

It is always a blessing for us to find wisdom and light – to see what is the right direction and to choose it.

Jesus is our wisdom: There is something greater than Salomon here – he says. How close am I with him? How deep is my relationship with him? How much time do we spend together during the day? How much am I ready to lose in order to gain his friendship and his wisdom?

We need to make choices in life. It’s impossible to have everything. God or world?

Quietness or business? Silent prayer or activity? We need to see what is the best for us at this very moment and have courage to do it.
I wish us to find wisdom in our small life. I wish us to search first for Jesus and his wisdom. I wish us to be ready to go far after him. He is our Way.

Have a blessed week,
Father Rafael

…their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father

Angels are our spiritual friends and protectors. God always wants to keep us safe. That’s why he gives us Guardian Angels to be close to us, to protect and to guide us to God.

We are never alone. We are loved, we are protected and we are guided.  

We need to listen, though. We must be aware of our limitations and admit that we need help. We can’t rely on ourselves: our ‘power’, our connections, our finances.

Jesus invites us to be like children. He wants us to be simple, to be ‘small’ and to be honest.

I wish us to trust more in God. I wish us to give him our best and surrender him everything: all we are and all we have. He wants to be my all. This is the best way to internal peace and joy.

Have a blessed weekend,
Father Rafael
