3-Minute Theology Series
Last week we celebrated the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month. As Christians it’s important to learn about other cultures to get a fuller understanding of who God is. This week, senior Reyli Rico, a Mexican-American, tells the story of St. Juan Diego and Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patron of México and all the Americas. Reyli explains the customs that he and many Hispanic-Americans celebrate in honor of Our Lady choosing a lowly indigenous man to help build up God’s kingdom. What can we learn from St. Juan Diego? How are we all called to build up the church on Earth?

A reflection on the meaning of Easter by William Manaker, S.J.
At the Chapel With Jack
"Today our prime educational objective must be to form men and women for others; men and women who will live not for themselves but for God and his Christ—for the God-man who lived and died for all the world; men and women who cannot even conceive of love of God which does not include love for the least of their neighbors; men and women completely convinced that the love of God which does not issue in justice for men and women is a farce."
Fr. pedro arrupe, s.J.
