CALLED TO RENEW CAMPAIGN

With the ongoing rise of de-mands for Pastoral Care and Commitment in our commu-nities, our Parishes lack ap-propriate resources needed for the challenges being

faced. After extensive research and prayer, the Archdi-ocese of Los Angeles is launching a “Called to Renew” Campaign, in the hopes to acquire with your help, sufficient funding to answer to the needs of our communities. Please stay tuned for more details.

Con el continuo aumento de las demandas Pas-torales y Compromiso en nuestras comunidades, nuestras Parroquias carecen de los recursos adecuados necesarios para los desafíos que se enfrentan. Después de una extensa I nvesti-gación y oración, la Arquidiócesis de Los Angeles está lanzando una Campaña "Llamado a Reno-var", con la esperanza de adquirir con su ayuda, fondos suficientes para responder a las nece-sidades de nuestras comunidades. Por favor, manténgase atento para más detalles

~ REFLECTION ~ Today we hear Joshua ask the tribes of Israel which god they will serve. They had other options, for their neighbors worshiped other gods. We have other options as well. We could choose to serve wealth or status or power or pleasure, allowing something else to lead us and drive us in another direction. But we come here today, along with our families, our friends, our neighbors, as a sign of our commitment to serve the Lord. Let us recommit ourselves to serve God, to follow Christ on our journey through this life to the life promised to us in baptism

~ REFLEXION ~

Hoy escuchamos a Josué preguntarles a las tribus de Israel a qué dios quieren servir. Tenían otras alternativas, pues sus vecinos adoraban otros dioses. También nosotros tenemos otras alternati-vas. Podemos escoger servir a la riqueza o a la posición social, al poder o al placer y así permitir que esas cosas nos lleven por otra dirección. Pero hoy venimos aquí junto a nuestras familias, amistades y vecinos como signo de nuestro compromiso de servir al Señor. Renovemos nuestro compromi-so de servir a Dios y de seguir a Cristo en nuestro caminar por la vida hasta llegar a la vida prometida en el Bautismo.

Did You Know? No parent sets out to raise a bul-ly, but children grow and develop into their own people as they go out into the world — and it starts at home. One way to help your child foster healthy, kind relation-ships is to work on building good habits at home. Reward kindness and empathy when you see it. Comment on instances of shar-ing, of kindness, of pride. Help your child understand what it

means to empathize with someone else, or to be kind in different situations. For more information, request a copy of the VIRTUS article “Parents: how not to raise a bully, the ten things you must know. Part Two,” at https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.

Sabia Usted? Ningún padre de familia se propone criar a un acosador, pero los niños crecen y se convierten en su propia persona a medida que salen al mundo, y todo comienza en casa. Una forma de ayudar a su hijo o hija a fomentar relaciones saludables y amables es esfor-zarse por desarrollar buenos hábitos en el hogar. Premie la bondad y la empatía cuando las vea. Comente sobre casos de cómo compartir, de bondad, de orgullo. Ayude a su hijo a comprender lo que significa tener empatía por otra persona o ser amable en diferentes situaciones. Para más información, solicite una copia del artículo de VIR-TUS en inglés, “Parents: how not to raise a bully, the ten things you must know. Part Two” (Padres: cómo no criar a un acosador, las diez cosas que debe saber.
