Submitted by holyroodchurch on 5 February, 2020 - 10:40

Hoy desperté y meditaba sobre mi año nuevo que comienza hoy, y qué he de hacer con este regalo de vida. Y, también meditaba sobre el año viejo que concluyó ayer…que hice y que dejé de hacer con ese regalo de vida.

Desperté y observé las flores hermosas que decoran mi mirada y regocija mi corazón, las primeras felicitaciones y los grandes deseos de felicidad hacia mi persona.

Seeking for Jesus with perseverance

Submitted by holyroodchurch on 6 January, 2020 - 11:59

I wonder what the Magi saw in the sky that first night. What was it that got them thinking? What was it that motivated them to pack and begin a journey to who knew where? Something had been revealed to them. But what was it? Was it in the sky, in their mind, in their heart? We don’t have much historical information about these wise people and their journey. But the interesting thing is that challenging all obstacles came to meet Jesus;

They looked for him and found him.
