El Salmo 46 nos ofrece un canto de confianza plena ante las crisis nacionales. Es también una confesión nacional de la profunda confianza que el pueblo ha adquirido, a partir de su liberación, que le permite celebrar a Dios como su castillo protector ante los peligros de muerte. Puede mirar el futuro con plena confianza habiendo aprendido de la reciente intervención de Dios.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Luz de Vida Methodist Church has discovered a new way to preach the gospel through theater. What began as a pastoral dream has become a formal ministry that blends faith, creativity, and community transformation into “Homiluz.”

In Advent, the four weeks before Christmas, we tend to gravitate toward the prophets or the gospels—and for good reason, as they easily support and explicate the themes of Advent. But if you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary for Advent this year, consider dwelling with the psalms.
This conference, part of CICW’s year of dwelling in the psalms, takes place February 5–6, 2026. Worship services and breakout sessions will explore the many ways the biblical psalms form, encourage, and inspire Christians in their public worship and daily life.
A Bethel University grant project blessed Catholics and Protestants in the greater South Bend area of Northern Indiana. It used Richard Foster’s six streams of Christian tradition to create Via Crucis, an experience of the stations of the cross with visual art, music, poetry, and more.
El salmista reflexiona sobre el eterno refugio que Dios es para quienes lo siguen y la inexorable realidad de la muerte, consecuencia de nuestra maldad.Entre ambas realidades brotan la misericordia y el favor de Dios y, con ellos, nuestra esperanza de mejores días, a pesar de cómo somos nosotros y nosotras.El salmo busca la sabiduría para vivir con entrega e intensidad, para tener la oportunidad de llenar la vida de sentido al servir a Dios en los demás. Y esto con la plena confianza de que Dios ha de prosperar nuestras labores y responder a nuestro ruego.
