~ REFLECTION ~
On these midsummer days, taking a break and relaxing becomes a more and more attractive idea. Even Jesus, it seems, wants to give us rest from our labors and burdens. Gathering today at God’s invitation in the middle of the summer heat, let us take the time to learn of God’s great love as revealed to us in Jesus Christ, God’s Son ~ REFLEXION ~
En estos días de mediados de verano tomar un descanso y relajarse se hace cada vez más atractivo. Parece que aun Jesús quiere darnos un descanso de nuestras labores y cargas. Reunidos aquí en medo del calor del verano, por invitación de Dios, dediquemos un tiempo para conocer el gran amor de Dios, conforme se nos ha revelado en Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios. Did You Know? Practice home security
with your entire family It is important for parents and children to get into a routine of safety. One of the major components of a good personal safety program is awareness. You can build awareness habits by following these tips: check surroundings when you leave and return home every day, make sure all doors and windows are locked before leaving home,and keep your car locked when you are in or out of it.

WHY TAKE YOUR CHILDREN TO MASS DURING THE SUMMER Parents have a wonderful opportunity to be a strong role model in their child’s life by being committed to attending Mass as a family. This will show your child what a life of commitment is about. It improves the chances that your child will grow up to keep their promises— as a student, as a friend, as a husband or wife, a single person, or to a life of religious vocation. We often make time to attend athletic or artistic activities, but attending Mass should be the most important thing to do together as a family every week. It’s easy to take Mass for granted. It’s easy to go blind and numb to the beautiful Mass, a precious hour when Christ’s Real Presence is there for you and your family. You should want your children to have that solid foundation, that chance to go to Mass and to discover their own journey of faith. Going to Mass together offers families a peaceful time to pray in one place together, rather than running in different directions like most people during the week. Isn’t it nice to hold hands during the “Our Father,” and then soon after say “peace be with you” to your family and neighbors? Peace. It’s what we desire for ur lives, and you can find it during Mass. Your child is looking for this peace, too, and that’s one reason he asks you to take him or her to Mass. Kids have a lot of pressure on them today. Give them a chance to find their place of peace - and the church is a good place to find it, rather than out on the streets with their friends or strangers.
PORQUE LLEVAR A SUS HIJOS A MISA DURANTE EL VERNAO Los padres tienen una gran oportunidad de ser Fuertes modelos en la vida de sus hijos siendo comprometidos con ir a Misa en familia. Esto le mostrara a su hijo lo que es una vida de compromiso. Mejora las oportunidades de su hijo crecer manteniendo sus promesas –como estudiante, como amigo, como esposo o esposa, como soltero, o en un vida de vocacion religiosa. Aveces hacemos tiempo para ir a los eventos athleticos o artisticos, pero ir a Misa deberia ser lo mas importante de hacer juntos como familia una vez a la semana. Es facil olvidarse de Misa. Y es facil cegarse y adormecerse a la belleza de Misa, una preciosa hora donde la Presencia de Cristo es Real y esta alli para usted y su familia. Usted deberia querer una fundacion solida para sus hijos, esa oportunidad de ir a Misa y descurbrir su propio camino en la fe.
