Discipleship that Transforms Lives
Standing in the midst of a broken world, Jesus announces the arrival of God’s Kingdom.

His presence on the plain reminds us that God is not distant from human pain but present, transforming it from within.
Rediscovering the Path of Forgiveness and Reconciliation
We are called to march on behalf of the immigrants who today must hide from modern-day Pharisees promoting abusive policies. You and I are called to reflect divine mercy by recognizing that we are all equal and of immense value before God. We are called to proclaim true freedom—not an exclusive or selective freedom. Because freedom for a few is not freedom; it is oppression and complicity.

Through His life, Jesus exemplifies the constant, continuous struggle for a better world. He stands against culture, power, colonialism, monarchies, and anyone who seeks to dictate norms on human sexuality, oppressive religious norms, or unjust economic rules. Jesus fights, constantly and relentlessly, for a world in which all people can experiment the endless blessings of the Divine together. A world where economic status, gender identity, or sexual orientation doesn’t determine a person’s worth. A world where the diversity of colors serves as the foundation for building a society where love and dignity are the central pieces of life.

And it’s also happening over there in the field, and it’s happening over there in the field, and in between, there are empty spaces.
