~ REFLECTION ~
As we move toward the conclusion of the church year, our liturgies make a decisive shift. Our readings focus more on the endtimes, and we set aside this month of November as a time to remember our beloved dead. As we gather today to contemplate these things, let us pray that by our attitudes and actions, we will eagerly welcome the arrival of the Lord in our everyday lives and wisely prepare for his coming at the end of time.
~ REFLEXION ~
A medida que avanzamos hacia la conclusión del año litúrgico, o año de la Iglesia, nuestras liturgias dan un giro decisivo. Nuestras lecturas se enfocan más hacia el final de los tiempos y nosotros destinamos este mes de noviembre para recordar a nuestros amados difuntos. Reunidos hoy a fin de contemplar estas cosas, oremos para que nuestras actitudes y obras reflejen que esperamos anhelantes la llegada del Señor a nuestra vida diaria y que nos preparamos sabiamente para su venida al final de los tiempos. Did You Know? Everyone has stress, whether it is a bad day at work, car trouble, or simply too many things to do. It is important to learn how to manage your stress – for your own sake and for the children around you. Too much stress can make it difficult to parent effectively. After a while, your children may show signs of stress, too. To learn more about how to identify and cope with stress, visit: https://www.helpguide.org/articles/ stress/stress-management.htm. Sabia Usted? El estrés puede afectar a los niños en su entorno inmediato. Toda persona se estresa en algún momento, ya sea por un mal día en el trabajo, un problema con el automóvil, o simplemente muchas cosas que hacer. Es importante aprender cómo manejar su estrés, para su propio bien y para el bien de los niños que lo rodean. Mucho estrés puede hacer difícil que eduque a sus hijos con efectividad. Después de un tiempo, sus hijos también pueden mostrar signos de estrés.

A Letter from Heaven I just wanted to say Everything is fine And I got here ok I made it to Heaven This place is really great Family came to meet me They were waiting by the gate I am young again No illness and no pain Things I could not do on Earth I can now do again This place is beautiful I feel like I have come home There are waterfalls and flowers And green fields where I roam Please don’t worry about me For I am in God’s care And when the time is right I will meet you there Enjoy the life you have Cherish every single day Just wanted you to know That I got here ok
Una Carta desde el Cielo Solamente queria decirte Que todo está bien Y llegué aquí bien Llegue al Cielo Este lugar es realmente genial Familia vino a reunirse conmigo Me estaban esperando en la puerta Soy joven otra vez Ninguna enfermedad y ningun dolor Cosas que no podía hacer en la tierra Ahora puedo hacer de nuevo Este lugar es hermoso Me siento como si hubiera llegado a casa Hay cascadas y flores Y campos verdes donde vagar Por favor no te preocupes por mí Porque yo estoy en el cuidado de Dios Y cuando sea el momento adecuado Nos encontraremos allí Disfruta de la vida que tienes Contiempla cada día Sólo quería que supieras Que llegué aquí bien
