Homilies about gossip

El Peligro del Chisme: Cómo el Cuchicheo Destruye la Comunidad y la Dignidad

Padre José

The homily begins by addressing the problem of gossip and rumors (cuchicheo) within the community, drawing a parallel to the first reading from Jeremiah. The priest emphasizes that while people may speak ill of others, God knows all and will always be by our side. He encourages the faithful to trust in God's providence and to overcome arrogance and pride, which destroy communities, by embracing humility and faith in Christ.

Why God Wastes Nothing: Lessons from St. John the Baptist's Birth

The homily on the Solemnity of St. John the Baptist emphasizes that God wastes nothing, not even our pain or tears, using everything for good, as seen in Elizabeth's suffering before John's birth. It also critiques the human tendency to judge and offer unsolicited opinions on others' lives, contrasting it with God's perfect plan and ability to use even human gossip for His glory.
