Con su figura extraordinaria y ―en palabras del Papa Francisco― «tan cercana a nuestra condición humana», san José es muy próximo a quienes somos personas corrientes, sin que por ello nuestras vidas carezcan de importancia para Dios y para los demás. El Santo Patriarca nos enseña mucho más de lo que a primera vista pueda parecer. Nos muestra caminos de santidad, fe, oración, amor a la familia, humildad, laboriosidad, desprendimiento…

The Epistle of Barnabas, penned between 70 and 132 AD, is a fascinating early Christian text that delves into the deeper meanings of the Old Testament. It reinterprets Jewish laws and rituals as allegories foreshadowing Christ and the new covenant. With its exploration of themes like the spiritual essence of Jewish laws, the transformative contrast between Judaism and Christianity, and powerful ethical teachings centered on Christ's central role, this epistle offers a vivid snapshot of early Christian thought.

Mose hob seinen Stab und stieß das Ende in die Erde. Eine Staubwolke stob davon auf. In der Luft wurde sie schwarz und wuchs größer und größer an, bis sie die Palastmauern überragte. Vor Schreck ließen die Wachen ihre Speere fallen, während sie mit vor Angst geweiteten Augen aufblickten.

This life is a prelude to our destiny in glory. We follow in the victory parade of the Lord Jesus: His life, death, resurrection, and destiny. A joyous eternity awaits and beckons us with expectant hope. We'll start our reflections on the journey each of us must take with its destination, "Longing for a Better Country", peruse themes populating our path home "Along the Way", before concluding with some reflections about our earthly exit "Into His Presence".

האם החיים הם הבלים וסבל או אושר עילאי ? האם ישנה משמעות למעשינו תחת השמש? מה יהיה בסופנו ? האומנם יש יתרון לחוכמה ? מפני מה לא ניתן להקים משטר צודק ? מהם קשרי הגומלין בין אושר לעושר ומדוע איש אוהב כסף לא ישבע כסף ? מה מקור הרגשות ומה אנו יודעים על התשוקות ? האם ידיעת המוות יכולה לשמש כמדריך לחיים ? הכתוב במגילת קהלת מזמין את הקורא לחשוב בעצמו על כל הסוגיות שבהן התחבט המשורר החכם, מחבר המגילה. קהלת אינו מורה לנו לחשוב כמוהו וגם אינו מתווה לנו מסלול הליכה בעקבותיו.

The words of Private Times Meditations II were birthed out of a strong belief that God loves shared time with us every single day. Author Gerald Pierce discovered that when we intentionally shut ourselves away from the noise of life and calm ourselves in a private space of intimacy with God, He responds with words we would never hear anywhere else or at any other time. These are special moments, and he hopes as he shares them with us that we will experience the greatest experience of life: Private Times with God.

The world has become a confusing place. Every day we are confronted with cloudy moral issues that once seemed clear. When did the simple things get so complicated? But instead of wondering how we got here, maybe we should revisit how we got started. And there's no better place to start than the beginning of God's Word, the book of Genesis.

Prepared to be awed by our God. The books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Malachi are viewed by Biblical scholars as the Minor Prophets.

Der Herr hält allen seine rettende Hand hin. Doch du kannst sie nicht ergreifen, weil du dich von ihm abgewandt hast. Mit jedem Unschuldigen, den du töten ließest, hast du dich weiter vom Herrn entfernt. Nun, am Rand des Abgrunds versuchst du, dich zu retten. Doch dafür ist es zu spät. Dein Königtum wird dir aus der Hand gerissen werden. Und deine Armee, in die du mehr Vertrauen als in den Herrn gesetzt hast, wird im Blut untergehen.
