Vicki, her mother, the choir... practicing for Dec 15th performance.

BTW, Arturo, I didn't know you were a party animal... just kiddin'
Very nice, great job guys!!! :)

Phrase from the Xmas day mass in the Vatican:
"This humanity of the 21st century appears as sure and self-sufficient
master of its own destiny, the avid proponent of uncontested
triumphs, Yet this is not the case. People continue to die of hunger
and thirst, disease and poverty, in this age of plenty and unbridled
consumerism."
- Pope, Benedict XVI -

The Pope also talked about peace and the need for peace in Africa and the
middle east...

Merry Christmas!!

I want to wish you all, all the best for this Christmas
season, may it be filled with peace and joy.
Share with your family and friends the gift of Love,
and even though, we have our frustrations, worries,
concerns, and many of us carry many crosses, l
et's leave them all outside the table this
Christmass eve and Christmas day, and
just remember Jesus is the
reason for the Season.

Prayer for World Peace

Lord, we pray for
The power to be gentle;
The strength to be forgiving;
The patience to be understanding;
And the endurance to accept the
consequences of holding to
What we believe to be right.
May we put our trust in the power of good to overcome evil
And the power of love to
overcome hatred.
We pray for the vision to see and the faith to believe in a world emancipated from
violance; a new world where fear shall no longer lead men to commit injustice; nor
selfishness make them bring suffering to others. Help us to devlote our whole life
and thought and energy to the task of making peace, praying always for the
inspiration and the power to fulfill the destiny for which we and all men were created.
Amen.
(week of prayer for World Peace, 1978)

The theme of World Peace Day 2007, chosen by the Holy Father, "express the
conviction that respect for the dignity of the human person is an essential condition
for peace within the human family. "Only through the cease of fire and violence can there
be peace on earth.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for coming to our gathering last Friday, it was a total blast, Girls & Guys Night out went pretty well... Thanks for the cards girls, we all like them, I hope you liked our flowers :-) Long story short, we later went to Mambo Jambo/Ale House in Coral Springs to share some more. Here some pictures:

As you can see, we all had a lot of fun!!! If you want to apply "The Love Languages" Quiz to any of your friends, family members, loved one, etc.... please contact Rachel...she might have some extra copies. This is a good test, you will learn to see how can we love others better and how we like to be loved as well. Remember, Jesus wants us to love others as we love ourselves.

I also would like to pray for Luis Rodriguez (Daniela's boyfriend father), some of us went to his house with Fr. Andrew this Saturday, please pray for them.

We also played some soccer Saturday afternoon, if you are up for soccer next weekend I think we'll play at Cypress Park.

March News:

Lent/Cuaresma, a season for reflection and revive what Jesus went thru his death and resurrection.

Lent is period of fasting and repentance traditionally observed by Catholics and some Protestant denominations in preparation for Easter. The length of the Lenten fast, was established in the 4th century as 40 days. During this time, participants eat sparingly, or simply give up a particular food or habit. Ash Wednesday and Lent began as a way for Catholics to remind themselves to repent of their sins in a similar manner to how people in the Old Testament repented in sackcloth, ashes, and fasting (Esther 4:1-3; Jeremiah 6:26; Daniel 9:3; Matthew 11:21).

We'll be having our gathering today March 3rd, 2006 at 8pm at St. Anrews's, we'll be talking about Lent and its real menaing for us YA in the 21st century.
