~ REFLECTION ~

Today we are gathered at Eucharist to celebrate the meaning of the Eucharist. Today’s solemnity is called the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Let us pay particular attention to the words and gestures at today’s Mass, and when it comes time for Communion, let approach the altar with joy in our hearts and gratitude for this gift of the Eucharist.

~ REFLEXION ~

Hoy nos reunimos en esta Eucaristía para celebrar el significado de la Eucaristía. La solemnidad de hoy se llama el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Prestemos atención en particular a las palabras y los gestos en la Misa de hoy y, al llegar el momento de la Comunión, acerquémonos al altar con gozo en nuestro corazón y con gratitud por este don de la Eucaristía.

GOD’S CREATION

God took the strength of a moun-tain, the majesty of a tree, the warmth of a summer sun, the calm of a quiet sea, the generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night, the wisdom of the ages, the power of the eagles flight, the joy of a morning in spring, the faith of a mustard seed, the patience of eternity, the depth of a family need, then God combined these qualities, and then there was nothing more to add, He knew his masterpiece was complete, and so, He called it...DAD.!!!

LA CREACION DE DIOS

Dios tomó la fuerza de una monta-ña, la majestuosidad de un árbol, la calidez de un sol de verano, la calma de un mar tranquilo, el alma generosa de la naturaleza, el brazo reconfortante de la noche, la sabiduría de los tiempos, el poder del vuelo de las águilas, la alegría de una mañana en primavera, la fe de una semilla de mostaza, la paciencia de la eternidad , la profundidad de una necesidad de la familia, entonces Dios combinó estas cualidades, y entonces no había nada más para agregar, El sabía que su obra maestra estaba completa, y así, él lo llamó ... ¡ Papá.!

Did You Know? Often, there are many ways to solve a problem, and many possible solutions. If you teach your children to problem solve creatively, and think outside the box when they are faced with a challenge, this can help them formulate problem-solving skills that

will serve them well throughout their lives. By using crea-tive problem solving methods, parents and children can brainstorm new ideas to protect kids from stranger danger, abuse, violence, and the other risks present in the world. Discuss possible solutions and highlight common themes to help your children develop strategies for staying safe. For a copy of the VIRTUS© article “Creative Problem Solving--How Can It Help?” email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227. Sabia Usted? A menudo, hay muchas maneras de resolver un problema, y muchas soluciones posibles. Si enseña a sus hijos a resolver problemas de forma creativa y pensar fuera de la norma cuando se enfrentan a un de-safío, esto puede ayudarles a desarrollar capacidades para resolver problemas que les servirán para toda la vida. Al usar métodos creativos para la resolución de problemas, los padres y los niños pueden hacer una lluvia de ideas sobre nuevas formas para proteger a los niños contra el peligro ante un extraño, el abuso, la violencia y los otros riesgos presentes en el mundo. Discuta posibles soluciones y resalte temas comunes para ayudar a sus hijos a desar-rollar estrategias para mantenerse seguros.

For blessing me with a wonderful Dad.

I pray that when he is tired, You give him strength to go on.

When he is discouraged, You give him hope,

and when he is afraid, You give him peace.
