From Fr. Davy’s Desk: These days we enjoy a lot of blessings from the Lord. Summer weather conditions, children going back to school, hope of coming out of the financial crisis, etc. Soon we are starting our Youth Reli-gious Formation Program. The readings will help us to reflect how to practice our faith and the com-mandments. It is better to evaluate the life our new generation. I feel the modern generation is lack-ing something. We have opportunities for everything; quality education, conveniences, financial sta-bility, entertainments, etc. Still why do the people fight? Why do the members of the same family or neighborhood pull out gun and shoot? Why do people roam around addicted to drugs and alcohol? My answer is lack of awareness of religious values. When a youth member was asked to read the Gospel of John chapter six he started turning the pages of the Bible from the book of Genesis. When a child was asked to pray the common prayers ‘Our Father and Hail Mary’ she wondered ‘what is that? Yes, our children don’t have opportunities of learning Gospel values in many schools. Our Sunday school classes and family prayers are the main means to educate them. The Sunday school teachers get only less than two hours a week to teach the children. Parents have several hours to teach the children Bible and prayers. Parents may take leadership to call all together and read a chapter from the Bible every day and spend sometime sharing the views. Call them together and pray the rosary together. Teach the children to say a short prayer before they go to school or to bed. These daily practices will help our children to practice religious values and live a peaceful life. Fr. Kavungal Davy, CMI Mensaje del Padre Davy: Estos días nos gusta un montón de bendiciones de Dios. Las condiciones climáticas del verano, los niños que van a la escuela, la esperanza de salir de la crisis financiera, etc. Pronto nos están empe-zando nuestro Programa de Formación de Religiosos. Las lecturas nos ayudarán a reflexionar cómo practicar nuestra fe y los mandamientos. Es mejor para evaluar la vida nuestra nueva generación. Siento la generación moderna le falta algo. Tenemos oportunidades para todo; una educación de calidad, el confort, la estabilidad financiera, entretenimientos, etc. Aun así, ¿por qué luchan las per-sonas? ¿Por qué los miembros de una misma familia o barrio sacan la pistola y disparar? ¿Por qué las personas se vuelven adictas a las drogas y el alcohol? Mi respuesta es la falta de conciencia de los valores religiosos. Cuando un miembro de la juventud se le pidió a leer el Evangelio de Juan capítulo seis empezó a pasar las páginas de la Biblia en el libro de Génesis. Cuando se le preguntó a un niño a rezar las oraciones comunes "Padre Nuestro y Ave María', se preguntó" ¿qué es eso? Sí, nuestros niños no tienen oportunidades de aprendizaje de los valores del Evangelio en muchas escuelas. Nuestras clases de Formación de Religiosos y oraciones de la familia son los principales medios para educar a ellos. Los maestros obtienen sólo menos de dos horas a la semana para enseñar a los niños. Los padres tienen varias horas para en-señar a los niños la Biblia y oraciones. Los padres pueden tomar el liderazgo para llamar a todos juntos y leer un capítulo de la Biblia todos los días y pasar algún tiempo compartiendo las vistas. Llame a ellos juntos y rezan el rosario juntos. Enseñe a los niños a decir una breve oración antes de ir a la escuela o en la cama. Estas prácticas cotidianas ayudarán a nuestros niños a practicar los valores religiosos y vivir una vida pacífica. Padre Kavungal Davy, CMI
