There’s one part I really despise in movies, usually in dramas. It’s when the character allows envy to consume him. I get this awful feeling in my stomach and can’t help but think, “Oh no, here we go again.” I know it means disaster and/or tragedy is coming.
One of the wonders of human beings is that they were created with a longing and a need to increase our knowledge of the world around us and our place in it. We share our knowledge with stories, examples, and hands-on experience.

Can you remember what happened yesterday, the day before yesterday or even earlier this morning? Some days breakfast seems so long ago!
I like to think of myself on the “good” side of Bible stories – as Moses, ever trusting God, or as Paul, sacrificing everything for the Gospel, or as one of Jesus’ devoted disciples.
Para el segundo año de preparación sacramental, los padres siguen siendo los primeros maestros de la fe (CCC n.º 2226). Este es un rol continuo tanto para los padres como para la vida de los estudiantes.
La preparación sacramental se llevará a cabo una vez al mes. Se pide a las familias que asistan semanalmente a la misa dominical, compartan el Evangelio en casa, participen en un retiro, recen el Rosario y que los padres asistan a una charla mensual con nuestro querido sacerdote.
Se ponen recursos a disposición de los padres, especialmente en lo relativo a la misa. Se pide a los estudiantes que traigan un misal para que lo firmen al finalizar la misa de su elección (sábado o domingo).
A continuación, se presentan las fechas de las charlas dirigidas a los padres. Los estudiantes asistirán a clases en un aula en la misma fecha y horario: de 6:30 p. m. a 8:00 p. m.
