DOMINGO CATEQUETICO REFLECTION: The theme for this Jubilee Year of Mercy is “Merciful like the Father.” It is inspired by stories like today’s reading from Exodus and the Gospel parable of the prodigal son. This is the God whom Jesus wants us to know better, whom Pope Francis wants revealed to the whole world. As we gather today, let us make a prayer of thanksgiving for our merciful God and Father. REFLEXIÓN El tema para este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia es “Misericordiosos como el Padre”. Es un tema inspirado por historias tales como la de la l ectura de hoy del libro del Éxodo y la parábola del hijo pródigo en el Evangelio. Éste es el Dios que Jesús quiere que conozcamos mejor y el que el Papa Francisco quiere revelar al mundo entero. Reunidos hoy, elevemos una oración de acción de gracias a nuestro Dios y Padre misericordioso.

SABIA USTED?

Los depredadores también juegan Pokémon Go y otros juegos populares en teléfonos celulares atraen a niños y adultos de todas las edades, pero no todos los que juegan lo hacen por diversión. Algunos depredadores usan los juegos en línea como una forma de conectarse con víctimas potenciales y para descubrir dónde estos están jugando. Es importante enseñar a los niños a no compartir su ubicación por Internet con alguien que ellos no conocen en la vida real (cualquiera que no sea un amigo de confianza, hermano, familiar, etc.) y tomar los pasos para bloquear las capacidades de compartir locación en teléfonos celulares y otros aparatos, si esto es posible.

Pokémon Go and other popular cell phone games attract kids and adults of all ages, but not everyone who plays is doing it for fun. Some predators use online games as a way to connect with potential victims and find out where they’re playing. It is important to teach kids not to share locations online with anyone they don’t know in real life (anyone who is not a trusted friend, sibling, relative, etc.), and take steps to disable location-sharing features on cell phones and devices if possible.
