January 25, 2026 - Third Sunday of Ordinary Time

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

The readings for the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time draw us into a powerful movement—from darkness to light, from division to unity, and from ordinary life into discipleship. The prophet Isaiah speaks to a people who know hardship, uncertainty, and exile. Yet into that darkness comes a promise: God does not abandon His people. Light will shine where despair once ruled. This is not merely poetic imagery; it is a declaration of hope. God’s saving action begins precisely where human strength fails.

Matthew’s Gospel shows this prophecy coming to life in Jesus. After John the Baptist is arrested, Jesus begins His public ministry not in Jerusalem, but in Galilee—an overlooked, mixed, and often marginalized region. This detail matters. God’s light does not wait for ideal conditions or perfect people. It breaks into the real world, into places of struggle and complexity.

25 de enero de 2026 - Tercer domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

Las lecturas del Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario nos introducen en un movimiento poderoso: de la oscuridad a la luz, de la división a la unidad y de la vida ordinaria al discipulado. El profeta Isaías habla a un pueblo que conoce la dificultad, la incertidumbre y el exilio. Sin embargo, en medio de esa oscuridad surge una promesa: Dios no abandona a su pueblo. La luz brillará donde antes reinaba la desesperanza. Esto no es solo una imagen poética; es una declaración de esperanza. La acción salvadora de Dios comienza precisamente donde falla la fuerza humana.

El Evangelio de Mateo nos muestra cómo esta profecía cobra vida en Jesús. Después de que Juan el Bautista es arrestado, Jesús inicia su ministerio público no en Jerusalén, sino en Galilea, una región ignorada, mezclada y con frecuencia marginada. Este detalle es importante. La luz de Dios no espera condiciones ideales ni personas perfectas. Irrumpe en el mundo real, en lugares de lucha y complejidad.

“We are all born originals, some in life become photocopies.”

Carlo Acutis was born in London, Britain, on May 3, 1991, to Italian parents, Carlo and Antonia Salzano, who were in the City for work. He was baptized on May 18 at Our Lady of Dolours Church in London. In September 1991, the family returned to Milan. At the age of four, his parents enrolled him in kindergarten, which he attended with great enthusiasm. When the time came for compulsory schooling, he was enrolled at the San Carlo Institute in Milan, a well-known private school. After three months, he was transferred to elementary school at the Tommaseo Institute of the Marcelline Sisters, because it was closer to his home. On June 16, 1998, he received his First Communion, earlier than his usual age, thanks to special permission from his spiritual director, Fr Ilio Carrai, and Archbishop Pasquale Macchi. The celebration took place in the Monastery of the cloistered Romite nuns of the Order of St. Ambrose ad Nemus in Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). The Sacrament of Confirmation, on May 24, 2003, was administered to him in the church of Santa Maria Segreta, by Monsignor Luigi Testore, former secretary of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and parish priest of San Marco in Milan.

'Todos nacemos originales, algunos en la vida se convierten en fotocopias'

Carlo Acutis nació en Londres, Gran Bretaña, el 3 de mayo de 1991, de padres italianos, Carlo y Antonia Salzano, que estaban en la City por motivos de trabajo. Fue bautizado el 18 de mayo en la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de Londres. En septiembre de 1991, la familia regresó a Milán. A los cuatro años, sus padres le inscriben en la guardería, a la que asiste con gran entusiasmo. Cuando llegó el momento de la escolarización obligatoria, lo matricularon en el Instituto San Carlo de Milán, una conocida escuela pública. Al cabo de tres meses, fue trasladado a la escuela primaria del Instituto Tommaseo de las Hermanas Marcelinas, por estar más cerca de su casa. El 16 de junio de 1998 recibió la Primera Comunión, antes de su edad habitual, gracias a un permiso especial de su director espiritual, el padre Ilio Carrai, y del arzobispo Pasquale Macchi. La celebración tuvo lugar en el monasterio de las monjas de clausura romitas dell'Ordine di Sant'Ambrogio ad Nemus, en Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). El sacramento de la Confirmación, el 24 de mayo de 2003, le fue administrado en la iglesia de Santa Maria Segreta, por monseñor Luigi Testore, antiguo secretario del cardenal Carlo Maria Martini y párroco de San Marco en Milán.
