~ REFLECTION ~

In a world in which those who are perceived as different seem to be at greater risk, God invites us to break down the boundaries that separate us from others. As we gather today, let us make this house, God’s house, truly a house of prayer for all peoples. ~ REFLEXION ~

En un mundo en el cual aquellos que son percibidos como diferentes parecen correr más riesgos, Dios nos invita a derribar las barreras que nos separan de los demás. Reunidos hoy aquí hagamos de esta casa, esta casa de Dios, una casa de oración para todas las personas. Did You Know? High school may be

a time when teenagers begin to think about dating, making communication between teens and their parents even more important. Consider having an open, honest conversation with your teen about dating and appropriate relationships. Talk about what they want out of a relationship, and what their values are. Make sure they know how to communicate what they feel comfortable with, and what makes them uncomfortable. Talk with them about Catholic morals, and make sure they know you are always available.

A brilliant light from up above, Like a beacon of God’s love. Dispels the darkness with its rays, Lights up the path, to right our ways. The warming rays, like from His Son, To save our soul, when this life is done. To thaw cold hearts, and let love grow, To enrich the spirit, reaping what we sow. Open up your heart, and open your mind, With God’s bright light, inner peace you will find. Step out of the shadows, step into the light, Let God enter your soul, and make things right. Una luz brillante desde lo alto, Como un faro del amor de Dios. Disipa las tinieblas con sus rayos, Ilumina el camino para enderezarnos. El calor de los rayos, como el de Su Hijo, Para salvar nuestra alma cuando esta vida se acave. Para descongelar corazones, y permitir que cresca el amor. Para enriqueser el espiritu, cosechando lo que sembramos. Abre tu Corazon y abre tu mente, Con la luz brillante de Dios, encontraras paz. Sal de la obscuridad y da un paso hacia la luz, Permite a Dios entrar en tu alma,para hacer todas las cosas bien.
