Peace – the first gift of the risen Lord. Just as Jesus sent the apostles out into the world, so too, He sends us. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to be grateful and generous. Look for opportunities to share His peace, not only within our local parish boundaries, but outside of them as well. In giving, we receive the peace of Jesus Christ. Paz - el primer regalo del Señor resucitado. Así como Jesús envió a los apóstoles al mundo, Él también nos envía a nosotros. Como discípulos de Jesús, estamos llamados a ser agradecidos y generosos. Busca oportunidades para compartir su paz, no solo dentro de los límites de nuestra parroquia, sino también fuera de ella. Al dar, recibimos la paz de Jesucristo.
