Did You Know? Learn to “stop” inappropriate activity before it happens
Child safety tip: Teach your child to respect the word “stop!” Teach your preschooler that “stop” means “stop,” and that your child has the right to stop people from touching his or her body. Obviously, exceptions will have to be made for doctors and parents, but even parents must listen when a child doesn’t want to be tickled or hugged anymore. Reinforcing this excellent lesson gives your child the power to recognize — and to stop –
“bad touching” by others if it should happen. For particular help you may call: Mrs. Gloria Galarza, Coordinator Protecting our Children Program, phone: (323) 462-3646, or Sr. Sheila McNiff, Director of Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.

Sabe Usted? Póngale el “Alto” a Actividades Inapropiadas Antes de Que Sucedan
Consejo para la seguridad: Enseñe a sus niños a respetar la palabra “alto”. Enseñe a sus hijos preescolares que “alto” significa “alto” y que sus hijos tienen el derecho de ponerles el alto a personas que tocan su cuerpo. Obviamente, excepciones tendrán que ser hechas para los médicos y los padres, pero incluso los padres deben escuchar cuando un hijo no desea ser cosquilleado o abrazado mas. Reforzando esta lección excelente da a sus niños el poder de reconocer - y poner alto - al “contacto físico inapropiado” por otros si llegara a suceder.
Para obtener ayuda usted puede llamar:

1I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:
2For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
6Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.
7Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not,) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.

1And when he had finished all his words in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capharnaum.
2And the servant of a certain centurion, who was dear to him, being sick, was ready to die.
3And when he had heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the ancients of the Jews, desiring him to come and heal his servant.
4And when they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying to him: He is worthy that thou shouldest do this for him.
5For he loveth our nation; and he hath built us a synagogue.
6And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.
7For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee; but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
8For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.
9Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.
10And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.

1A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
3Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
5But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
6Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
7Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
9Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
10And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
11The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
12Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
13For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Luke 7:11-17

11And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.
12And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.
13Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.
14And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.
15And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.
16And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.
17And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judea, and throughout all the country round about.

33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.
34The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.

12Let no man despise thy youth: but be thou an example of the faithful in word, in conversation, in charity, in faith, in chastity.
13Till I come, attend unto reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine.
14Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.
15Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.
16Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.

36And one of the Pharisees desired him to eat with him. And he went into the house of the Pharisee, and sat down to meat.
37And behold a woman that was in the city, a sinner, when she knew that he sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment;
38And standing behind at his feet, she began to wash his feet, with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39And the Pharisee, who had invited him, seeing it, spoke within himself, saying: This man, if he were a prophet, would know surely who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, that she is a sinner.
40And Jesus answering, said to him: Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. But he said: Master, say it.
41A certain creditor had two debtors, the one who owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42And whereas they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which therefore of the two loveth him most?
43Simon answering, said: I suppose that he to whom he forgave most. And he said to him: Thou hast judged rightly.
44And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon: Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she with tears hath washed my feet, and with her hairs hath wiped them.
45Thou gavest me no kiss; but she, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
46My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she with ointment hath anointed my feet.
47Wherefore I say to thee: Many sins are forgiven her, because she hath loved much. But to whom less is forgiven, he loveth less.
48And he said to her: Thy sins are forgiven thee.
49And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves: Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
50And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath made thee safe, go in peace.

1I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called,
2With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
3Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling.
5One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.
7But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.

9And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
10And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
11And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
12But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
13Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.

13I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
14That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen.

4And when a very great multitude was gathered together, and hastened out of the cities unto him, he spoke by a similitude.
5The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it.
8And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
10To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.
11Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.
13Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away.
14And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit.
15But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.

4Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy of the land to fail,
5Saying: When will the month be over, and we shall sell our wares: and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen the measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances,
6That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn?

1I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men:
2For kings, and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity.
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,
4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5For there is one God, and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:
6Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.
7Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle, (I say the truth, I lie not,) a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
8I will therefore that men pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger and contention.

1And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.
2And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
3And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
4I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
6But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.
8And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.
9And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.
10He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
11If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is your own?
13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

1A faithful saying: if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2It behoveth therefore a bishop to be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, prudent, of good behaviour, chaste, given to hospitality, a teacher,
3Not given to wine, no striker, but modest, not quarrelsome, not covetous, but
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all chastity.
5But if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?
6Not a neophyte: lest being puffed up with pride, he fall into the judgment of the devil.
7Moreover he must have a good testimony of them who are without: lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8Deacons in like manner chaste, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre:
9Holding the mystery of faith in a pure conscience.
10And let these also first be proved: and so let them minister, having no crime.
11The women in like manner chaste, not slanderers, but sober, faithful in all things.
12Let deacons be the husbands of one wife: who rule well their children, and their own houses.
13For they that have ministered well, shall purchase to themselves a good degree, and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

14Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood.
15Meditate upon these things, be wholly in these things: that thy profiting may be manifest to all.
16Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.
