·9 min
The episode is a homily by Monsignor Rogelio Cabrera López, Archbishop of Monterrey, delivered at the Cathedral of Monterrey on January 25, 2026. It begins with greetings to various groups present, including confirmands, theology students, and three seminarians being instituted as lectors. The homily notes the presence of Monsignor Eugenio and extends blessings to those following via media or in difficult situations. It identifies the day as Word of God Sunday, established by Pope Francis in 2019 to promote reflection on scripture. The speaker emphasizes that God's word is meant to be read, meditated upon, and lived, citing Psalms and Saint John. He encourages having a Bible at home and participating in liturgical celebrations. The institution of lectors is highlighted as a ministry to help people understand and appreciate scripture. A pastoral goal is mentioned: ensuring no neighborhood in the archdiocese is without God's word on Sundays, even if Mass isn't possible. Three key aspects of God's word are outlined: a call to conversion, a vocational call, and an invitation to unity. The conversion metaphor is elaborated with the example of turning to face someone who speaks. The homily connects listening to God with personal interactions, using imagery of rain fertilizing earth from Isaiah. It stresses that God's word directs believers toward eternal projects and earthly peace. References to Apostle Paul's teachings on avoiding divisions are included. The conclusion reiterates the Gospel as light and calls for love and esteem among people.
