Did You Know? DON’T OVERESTIMATE CHILDREN’S “STREET SMARTS”
Pedestrian injury remains the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 5 to 14. Children are particularly vulnerable to pedestrian death because they are exposed to traffic threats that exceed their cognitive, developmental, behavioral, physical, and sensory abilities. This is exacerbated by the fact that parents often overestimate their children’s pedestrian skills. Children have difficulty judging speed, spatial relations, and distance. Auditory and visual acuity, depth perception, and proper scanning ability develop gradually and do not fully mature until at least age 10. For child pedestrian safety tips, click on “Pedestrian Safety” at www.usa.safekids.org 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.

THE INEXPRESSIBLE MYSTERY: The God of the universe is mysterious. Science has not been able to solve the mystery of how the universe came into being or explain exactly what continues to give it creative energy and masterful design. No religion asserts that it has found words to name fully the ineffable mystery of God, for no matter what name we use, God always transcends our limited ability to understand. God is a mystery to be believed, not known. And yet, we Christians believe that our name for God best expresses that inexpressible mystery: God is the Most Holy Trinity of three persons united in a communion of love, pouring forth that creative, saving, sanctifying love into the world. Today’s scriptures celebrate the mystery of the Trinity and give us clues for living that mystery in our lives. (c) Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Tanto amó Dios al mundo, que le entregó a su Hijo único. — Juan 3:16a

SANTÍSIMA TRINIDAD: El Padre es mi esperanza, el Hijo es mi refugio, el Espíritu Santo es mi protección. O Santísima Trinidad,gloria a Ti. –Horologio bizantino, cántico de Vísperas, siglo VI

Sabe Usted? NO SOBREESTIME LA INTELIGENCIA DE LOS NIÑOS
Lesiones peatonales siguen siendo la segunda causa principal de muertes lesión-relacionadas involuntarias en niños entre las edades 5 a 14 años. Los niños son particularmente vulnerables a la muerte peatonal porque son expuestos a las amenazas del tráfico ya que sus capacidades sensoriales y cognoscitivas no se han desarrollado completamente. Las lesiones peatonales son exacerbadas por el hecho de que los padres sobreestiman las habilidades peatonales de sus hijos. Los niños tienen dificultad e inexperiencia de juzgar distancia y velocidad. La agudeza auditiva y visual, la percepción y habilidad para madurar completamente no sucede hasta por lo menos a la edad de 10 años. Para sugerencias sobre la seguridad peatonal de los niños, visite la página de Internet www.usa.safekids.org. Para obtener ayuda usted puede llamar: Sra. Gloria Galarza, Coordinadora del Programa telf: (323) 462-3646, ó Hna Sheila McNiff, Directora de la Oficina del Ministerio de Ayuda, al 213-637-7650.

MISTERIO INEXPRESABLE: El Dios del universo es misterioso. La ciencia no ha podido resolver el misterio de cómo el universo surgió ni explicar exactamente qué es lo que continúa dándole energía creadora y diseño magistral. Ninguna religión afirma que ha encontrado las palabras para nombrar plenamente el misterio inefable de Dios, ya que no importa qué nombre usemos, Dios siempre transciende nuestra limitada capacidad de comprensión. Dios es un misterio en el que se cree y que no se conoce. Y sin embargo, nosotros los cristianos creemos que el nombre que usamos para Dios es el que mejor expresa ese misterio inexpresable: Dios es la Santísima Trinidad de tres personas unidas en una comunión de amor, que se vierte en amor creador, salvador y santificador sobre el mundo. Las lecturas de hoy celebran el misterio de la Trinidad y nos dan las claves para vivir ese misterio en nuestras vidas. (c) Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

John 3:16

16For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.
Mark 9:14-29
View in: NAB
14And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
15And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
16And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
17Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
18Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
19And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
20And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
21And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
22And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
23And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
24And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
25And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
26But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
27And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
28And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
29And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
Mark 9:30-37
View in: NAB
30And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
31But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
32And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
33But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
34And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.
35And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
36Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
37John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.
Mark 9:38-40
View in: NAB
38But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.
39For he that is not against you, is for you.
40For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
Mark 9:41-50
View in: NAB
41And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
42And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:
43Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
44And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:
45Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
46And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:
47Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
48For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
49Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
Mark 10:1-12
View in: NAB
1And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coasts of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitudes flock to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again.
2And the Pharisees coming to him asked him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you?
4Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.
5To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you that precept.
6But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
7For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.
8And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.
9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.
11And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Mark 10:13-16
View in: NAB
13And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them.
14Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.
16And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

54Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.
55He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
