~ REFLECTION ~
When we gather here each Sunday, we know where we will find God: in each other, in the Word proclaimed, in the Blessed Sacrament. Our readings today will challenge us to find God in other places and at other times in our lives. Perhaps as we continue our celebration today, our prayer can be for the vision to see and hear God in our lives outside this sacred place.
~ REFLEXION ~
Palabras Pastorales sugiere ejemplos para ayudar a los sacerdotes, diáconos y ministros de iniciación, así como a los que planifican la liturgia, a crear un lenguaje litúrgico. El Misal Romano sugiere las partes de la misa que pueden ser acomodadas a las palabras del propio celebrante. Cada comunidad debe buscar las Escrituras del día o del tiempo litúrgico, su propio sentir espiritual y la realidad del mundo actual, para usar el lenguaje más apropiado para la liturgia. Did You Know? There is a lot that
goes into preparing for the new school year, and it’s important to remember to talk about safety. These are a few tips to consider: (1) meet all of your child’s teachers, (2) discuss school bathroom behavior (no one should go into a stall with a child for any reason), (3) occasionally walk your children to their class instead of using the carpool line.

Sabia Usted? Consejos de seguridad para el
regreso a la escuela Hay mucho por hacer en la preparación para el nuevo año escolar, y es importante recordar hablar de seguridad.
