Teresa de Ávila, fue una gran monja española, que se caracterizo por su vida de oración, y servicio en el siglo XVI. Se cuenta que cierto día viajando por una carreta tirada por bueyes, se cayó en un arroyo lodoso. Esa mujer devota y gentil, y fundadora de la orden de las carmelitas descalzas, ¡toda [...]

a serious machine for the seriously caffeinated: Cuisinart DCC-2200 Brew Central 14-Cup Coffeemaker
Posted in paterfamilias, reseña, tagged coffee, Cuisinart, gadgets on March 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
In our home, a morning without coffee is not anything like a day without sunshine. It’s more like a dark and terrifying nightmare that never ends with a soundtrack of Eagles tunes sung by the young Madonna (‘You can check out anytime you want but you can never, ever leave’). Much, then, was my joy [...]
creatividad redentora: Isaías 45.1-7
Posted in textures, tagged biblical reflection, Isaías, Isaiah, reflexión bíblica, texturas, textures on March 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
En su exquisita investigación publicada en 1970, Carroll Stuhlmueller argumentó que la teología de la creación entra en Deutero-Isaías no por sus propios méritos, sino como un apoyo poético a la obra redentora/rescatadora de YHVH frente al cautiverio babilónico de los judíos. Es un hecho que resulta imposible separar el dialecto y los conceptos de [...]
the good life: Psalm 65
Posted in textures, tagged biblical reflection, Psalms, textures on March 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Occasionally a psalm, as though on a sunny afternoon with a glass of Merlot in hand and feet up, allows itself to savor the comprehensive provision of YHVH. Such is not a moment for fretting. There will be time enough for that. The poet simply allows himself a lyrical sigh of contentment. Psalm 65, in [...]
the tradition grows under foot: Haydn (Cello Concertos Nos. 1 and 2, Boccherini, Cello Concerto); Ludovit Kanta, Capella Istropolitana, Peter Breiner (Naxos)
Posted in reseña, tagged Capella Istropolitana, classical music, Joseph Haydn, Ludovit Kanta, Luigi Boccherini, music, Peter Breiner, reseña on March 20, 2009 | 3 Comments »
The Austrian Joseph Haydn (1731-1798) and the Italian Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805) eased central and southern Europe through its transition from the Baroque to the Classical periods with considerable aplomb. Fortunately, both of these neatly overlapping composers leveraged the potential of the cello in order to do so. Ludovit Kanta (cellist), the Capella Istropolitana, Peter Breiner [...]
parched: Psalm 63
Posted in textures, tagged biblical reflection, Psalms, textures on March 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Ascribed to David, this psalm fits well into the historicizing tendency evident already in early biblical manuscripts to link each psalm to a moment in the life of the Israelite king. David’s flight into the Judean desert before the insurrection of Absalom, for example, would accord well with the psalm’s cryptic reference to ‘David, when [...]
en casa y fuera de casa: Isaías 61 // Lucas 4

Jesús estuvo en su propia casa en dos sentidos cuando lo descubrimos en su rol de protagonista en el cuarto capítulo del evangelio de Lucas. La primera vez, después de la ardua prueba a la que fue sometido en la compañía del diablo en los desiertos de Judá, él vuelve a la aldea de su [...]

This is a hotel for small- to medium-sized meetings, quick transport, and reliable but budget-priced economics. A Greek and an Italian restaurant are a short walk way in a pleasant [...]
cardiac liquidity: Psalm 62
Posted in textures, tagged biblical reflection, Psalms, textures on March 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Transparent honesty between God and humankind requires expression. One cannot have intimacy while guarding silence. It is not permitted to us both to hold our guard and dance with our creator. Both God and man must speak if the perforated boundary between heaven and earth is to yield, if Jerusalem is to descend, if prayers [...]
belief in transformation: John 2
Posted in textures, tagged biblical reflection, John, textures on March 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One of the shocking details of John’s report of Jesus’ first sign, at a wedding in a Galilean village, is the notice that his disciples ‘believed in him’ as a result of his action. One wonders what they were doing prior to the moment: On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of [...]
