Come Visit Our School! Website: Evangelization Corner.... Help Your Godchild On The Journey To Christ God has called all of us to follow him. Yet when we are asked to be godparents, we are not only called to follow, we are called to lead. Aiding in a child s spiritual growth is an awesome responsibility but you can teach the importance of our faith in simple ways. Go to Mass. Inviting your godchild to attend Sunday Mass with you is a great way to spend time together and show commitment to the faith. Send cards. On the anniversary of the child s baptism each year, send a birthday cad to celebrate her birth into the life of Christ. Mark each sacrament received. Offer lots of attention and support during these Catholic milestones. These are steps on our journey toward Christ. Prayer cards. Promote prayer and a devotion to the saints by sending an occasional prayer card pertinent to his life situation. Reevaluate your role. Being a godparent doesn t stop at the Baptism celebration. It is a lifelong commitment. Remember to stay active into your godchild s adulthood.

La Misa, la oración suprema del cristiano Es la oración más importante, es Cristo quien nos espera. a Qué es, por tanto, la Eucaristía? El amor de Cristo hasta el extremo, para ti, para mi, durante toda la vida. Porque la Eucaristía significa poner tu disposición toda la omnipotencia, toda la bondad, todo el amor y la misericordia de Dios, todos los días, todas las horas, de tu vida. Y asi, en cada Sagrario del mundo, en cada Misa, se está, por asi decir, creando un incendio, una hoguera de amor; pero, quién se calienta?, quién se quema?, el que se acerca. Él dijo: Yo estare con vosotros todos los dias hasta el fin del mundo. La Eucaristia es ese lugar, es esa manera misteriosa pero real, con la que Cristo se queda a lo largo de toda nuestra vida, con cada uno de nosotros.
