Homilia del 9 de noviembre de 2014 (Fiesta de la Dedicación de la Basilica de San Juan Letran en Roma)
Nietzsche is perceptive, but he is missing something - a power greater than resentment: grace or prayer. Consider this comparison. You have probably heard about dark matter and dark energy. Scientist tell us that they make up most of our universe -about 95%. For the sake of this comparison, let's just take dark energy. Physicists calculate that this invisible energy composes 68.3% of the universe. We can't see it or even detect it, but we know it from its effect. It keeps some kind of balance and prevents the cosmos from immediately destroying itself. Well, prayer is like that invisible energy. It sustains our lives, our families, our parish, our world.
To a degree we can measure the power of prayer. University studies show a correlation between couples praying together and staying together. (Homily for All Souls - November 2, 2014) Nietzsche es acertado, pero no ve algo - un poder mayor que resentimiento: la oracion. Aqui una comparacion. Probablemente han escuchado de la materia oscura y la energia oscura. Los cientificos nos dicen que la mayor parte del universo es materia y energia invisibles. Para esta comparacion consideramos solamente la energia oscura. Los estudiosos calculan que esta energia invisible compone 68.3% del universo. No podemos ver la energia invisible ni aun detectarla, pero sabemos su existencia de sus efectos. Previene que el cosmos se destuya a si mismo. Pues la oracion es como la energia invisible. Mantiene unidas nuestras vidas, nuestras familias, nuestra parroquia y nuestro mundo. Dependemos de la solidaridad de oracion.
