Ahora que se acaban las vacaciones de verano, nos encontramos en esa época del año en la que volvemos a la rutina. Pero es de vital importancia que, con todo el ajetreo de la vida, no tengamos negligencia con nuestra vida espiritual. Igual que necesitamos dedicar tiempo a revisar nuestra agenda personal o familiar y planificar nuestros días y semanas para no perder el control de nuestra vida, también deberíamos dedicar tiempo a establecer pautas que rijan y mantengan encarrilada nuestra vida espiritual.

As we wind up the summer break, we find ourselves in that time of year where we get back into the routines of life. But it is crucially important that in all the busyness of life that we do not neglect our spiritual life.  Just like we need to take time to go over our personal or family calendar and plan our days and weeks to stay on top of life, we should also take the time to establish a rule of life that governs and keeps on track our spiritual life.

The increase in the number of catechumens and candidates entering the Church in the Diocese of Colorado Springs matches the same trend seen in other dioceses and archdioceses throughout the United States and the world.

Professor Lucas Pollice will present formation and feedback sessions in each deanery of the diocese beginning April 11. Javier Cervantes, Director of Hispanic Ministry, will give the same presentation in Spanish at several locations. 

On Jan. 7, Pope Leo XIV announced that his topic for upcoming general audience catechesis is the re-reading of the Vatican II documents.

“It is a valuable opportunity to rediscover the beauty and the importance of this ecclesial event,” he said. “The generation of bishops, theologians and believers of Vatican II is no longer with us. Therefore, while we hear the call not to let its prophecy fade, and to continue to seek ways and means to implement its insights, it will be important to get to know it again closely, and to do so not through ‘hearsay’ or interpretations that have been given, but by rereading its documents and reflecting on their content. Indeed, it is the Magisterium that still constitutes the guiding star of the Church’s journey today.”
