AS THIS YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE, receive My Peace. This is still your deepest need and I, your Prince of
Peace, long to pour myself into your neediness. My abundance and your emptiness are a perfect match. I
designed you to have no sufficiency of your own. I created you as a jar of clay, set apart for sacred use. I want
you to be filled with My very Being, permeated through and through with peace.
Thank Me for My peaceful Presence, regardless of your feelings. Whisper My Name in loving tenderness, My
Peace, which lives continually in your spirit, will gradually work its way through your entire being. 26-27
Isaiah 9:6; Corinthians 4:7; John 14:26-27

La Sagrada Familia
La Sagrada Familia es el modelo de virtudes de todas las familias. Leemos en el libro del Eclesiástico 3,3:"El que honra a su padre expía sus pecados. El que respeta a su
madre acumula tesoros". Buena lección para la sociedad nuestra. "No abochornes a tu padre mientras
vivas, aunque su mente flaquee". Si este mundo se enfoca como un jardín de placeres terrenos, con la
finalidad de pasarlo bomba, y como estación término, todo se explica. Pero si se ve con ojos de
evangelio, hemos de rectificar muchas conductas. San Pablo ya decía a los Colosenses 3,12: "Sea
vuestro uniforme: la misericordia entrañable, la bondad, la humildad, la dulzura, la comprensión.
Sobrellevaos mutuamente, perdonándoos, como el Señor os ha perdonado. Y por encima de todo, el
amor, la Palabra, la Eucaristía... Hijos, obedeced a vuestros padres, que eso le gusta al Señor. Padres, no seáis posesivos, para que
no se desanimen vuestros hijos". Tampoco les sobreprotejáis en exceso, porque se quedarán enanos, no crecerán y estarán
necesitando a todas horas y en todos los problemas, el paraguas de papá, la sombrilla de mamá. ¡Yo bendigo el día en que el
Obispo, a mis veinticuatro años, me nombró párroco y tuve que sacarme las castañas del fuego con mis propias manos! Eso me
ayudó a crecer y a profundizar mi sentido de la responsabilidad. Pero ¡hay que educar!
La primera escuela es la familia, y nadie la puede sustituir. Ese principio del derecho natural que a los poderes de hoy les cuesta
tanto entender y sobretodo, practicar, porque les impide manipular. Al niño hay que enseñarle el respeto a todos; el deber de dar
gracias, que a él ni le nace, ni lo comprende, porque cree que todo se lo merece y que todos han de estar a su servicio y así crecerá
y de mayor e incluso con cargos de responsabilidad y de relumbre, incurrirá en defectos enormes de ingratitud, de ignorancia de lo
que se debe a quienes le educaron o a los que le han prestado un servicio con sacrificio y, ni se les da una explicación por la
pérdida de papeles o, si se pidieron, en fuerza de autoridad, ni razonar la no publicación, ni agradecer el trabajo y, tal vez el
sacrificio, que supuso su cumplimiento. Al niño no se le hizo ver que hay que agradecer y que no todos deben estar a su servicio
por su cara bonita.

What is Eucharistic Adoration? Understood simply, Eucharistic Adoration is adoring or honoring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ.
In a deeper sense, it involves "the contemplation of the Mystery of Christ truly present before us".
During Eucharistic Adoration, we "watch and wait", we remain "silent" in His Presence and open
ourselves to His Graces which flow from the Eucharist ... By worshiping the Eucharistic Jesus, we
become what God wants us to be! Like a magnet, The Lord draws us to Himself and gently transforms us.
We are truly blessed to have the opportunity to be in the true presence of Our Lord within our Chapel. If you are interested in
committing to one hour of Adoration, please contact Bill McDowell at 404-906-1598 or [email protected].

Your abundance of Mercy,
dear Lord. Jesus, I trust in
You.

All-powerful and ever-living God,
when Abraham left his native land
and departed from his people
you kept him safe through all his journeys.
Protect these soldiers.
Be their constant companion
and their strength in battle,
their refuge in every adversity.
Guide them, O Lord,
that they may return home in safety.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Pray for Our Military - They are always prepared and ready to defend and protect us.
A Prayer for Soldiers
Brave warriors, should fate find us in battle, may our
cause be just. May our leaders have clear vision. May
our courage not falter. May we be triumphant and earn
victory as we show mercy to our enemies. May our
efforts bring lasting peace. May our sacrifice be always
appreciated by those we serve. May we return to our
loved ones unharmed. Should we be harmed, may our
wounds heal. Should we perish in the struggle, may God
embrace us and find for us a place in His Kingdom.
