The Our Father prayer is probably the most well-known and repeated prayer among Christians. It is found in two of the gospels, specifically Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. There we can see that Jesus used that prayer as an example to teach his disciples how to pray. As we look at this pattern of prayer we see that the prayer that pleases God is one that is simple and sincere. It must come from the depths of the heart and express what disturbs our being. When praying we must recognize the power, the greatness of God, and also the need we have for him…
The capital sins are, according to the teaching of the Catholic faith, seven natural inclinations of the human being that can lead him to fall into other sins. In the sixth century, Pope Gregory made official the first list of seven made up of pride, envy, avarice, anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth. The term “capital” does not refer to the seriousness of these sins but to the fact that they often lead us to commit others. The Bible does not give a list of capital sins, although it does tell us about these seven and encourages us to overcome them. Let’s look at a…
The Beatitudes serve as an introduction to the well-known Sermon on the Mount that Jesus delivered in front of his disciples and many of his followers. The biblical passage is found in Matthew 5:3-12. Through the eight beatitudes, Jesus described how the character of his disciples should be and what is the reward they receive or will receive.

He was willing to send his Son Jesus to die on the cross so that we all have the opportunity to receive salvation and eternal…
In John 14:6 we read that Jesus is the way to God. How can this be possible? The reality is that as soon as Adam and Eve chose to sin by disobeying God, he began laying out the plan for our forgiveness. God did not want to leave us separated from him. Quite the opposite! He took the initiative. He decided to come to incarnate as a human being, Jesus, to die on the cross as the perfect sacrifice and thus give us the opportunity to live with him for eternity. This is why Jesus could claim to be the only way to reach God. Not only…
