~ REFLECTION ~ Our reading from the Acts of the Apostles today shows us how the early church learned to listen to the Holy Spirit and work together to bring about peace of mind to the members of the community. Our loving God invites us to work together to spread the Good News. As we hear God’s holy word today, let us listen for what God is telling us about how to be messengers of peace and unity within the Church and beyond. How can I be prayerfully open to the Spirit’s guidance like the early community? To whom can I be compassionately responsive?

RESPONSORIAL PSALM: O God, let all the nations praise you!

~ REFLEXION ~ Nuestra lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles nos muestra hoy cómo la Iglesia primitiva aprendió a escuchar al Espíritu Santo y a trabajar juntos a fin de lograr la tranquilidad para los miembros de la comunidad. Nuestro Dios amantísimo nos invita a trabajar juntos para difundir la Buena Nueva. Al escuchar la sagrada palabra de Dios hoy pongamos atención a lo que Dios nos dice acerca de ser mensajeros de la paz y la unidad dentro de la Iglesia y más allá de ella. ¿Cómo puedo abrirme devotamente a la orientación del Espíritu, tal como lo hacía la primera comunidad? ¿Hacia quién debe tener una reacción compasiva?

Child Protection Certification Course: Please note that ALL ministry members must complete the Child Protection Certification Course to participate in any activities involving the youth of the Parish. Preventing child sexual abuse is a partnership. It requires education, training, and action from parents, other adults, organizations, and children. As adults, we need to learn to recognize other adults who are a risk to kids – ours and the others in the community. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, which gives us all an opportunity to learn more about what the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is doing to prevent child sexual abuse from happening. For more information about the VIRTUS® Child Abuse Prevention Programs for Adults and Children contact [email protected]. Prevenir el abuso sexual infantil es una asociación. Requiere educación, entrenamiento y acción de los padres de familia, otros adultos, organizaciones y los niños. Como adultos, necesitamos aprender a reconocer a otros adultos que son un riesgo para los niños, tanto los nuestros como los demás en la comunidad. Abril es el Mes Nacional de la Prevención del Abuso Infantil, que nos ofrece una oportunidad para aprender más sobre lo que la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles está haciendo para prevenir que ocurra el abuso sexual infantil. Para más información sobre los Programas de Prevención del Abuso Sexual Infantil VIRTUS®, contacte a [email protected].
