Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament / Exposición del Santísimo Sacramento After first Friday Evening mass Despues de Misa de Primer Viernes.

The parable of the father and his sons is one of the most familiar of all of Jesus stories. The father in the parable is lavish in forgiveness and revels in the return of his young son, who was lost and now is found. The older son is also lost--lost in his refusal to forgive, lost in his failure to grasp his fathers generous spirit. The Israelites spent many years lost in the desert, seeking the land of milk and honey, yet often failing to seek the God who delivered and fed them. We are sometimes lost as well. We lose sight of the Lord and the Lords ways. God never loses sight of us, however. God waits, ready for us to come to our senses, ready to welcome us back with open arms.

La parábola del padre y sus hijos es una de las más familiares de todas las historias de Jesús. El padre de la parábola es generoso en el perdón y se revela en el regreso de su joven hijo, que se había perdido y ahora se encuentra. El hijo mayor también está perdido, perdido en su No querer perdonar, perdido en su incapacidad de captar el espíritu generoso de su padre. Los israelitas pasaron muchos años perdidos en el desierto, buscando la tierra de leche y miel, pero a menudo no pudieron buscar al Dios que los liberó y alimentó. A veces estamos perdidos también. Perdemos de vista a Dios y el de su camino. Dios nunca nos pierde de vista, sin embargo. Dios espera, listo para que lleguemos a nuestros sentidos, listo para recibirnos con los brazos abiertos.

DIVINE SAVIOUR CHURCH Entrance: “FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS” 1. Forty days and forty nights, you were fas ng in the wild;

Forty days and forty nights, tempted, and yet undefiled. 2. Shall not we your sorrow share, and from worldly joys abstain,

Fas ng with unceasing prayer, strong with You to suffer pain? 3. Then if Satan on us press, flesh or spirit to assail, victor in the wil-

derness, grant we may not faint nor fail! Psalm: “TASTE AND SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD” Presenta on: “I HEARD THE VOICE OF JESUS” 1. I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me and rest. Lay

down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast.” I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, worn and sad. I found in Him a res ng place, and He has made me glad.

2. I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give the living wa-ter; thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live.” I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; my thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in Him.

3. I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s light. Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, and all thy day be bright.” I looked to Jesus, and I found in Him my star, my sun; and in that light of life I’ll walk, ll trav’ling days are done.

Holy Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest – Hosanna in the highest! Lamb of God Lamb of God – you take away – the sin of all the world – mise re-re Nobis Bread of Life …… mise re-re nobis. Agnus Dei ……Dona nobis pacem

Communion: “TABLE OF PLENTY” Refrain: Come to the feast of heaven and earth! Come to the table of plenty! God will provide for all that we need, here at the table of plenty. 1. O come and sit at my table where saints and sinners are friends. I

wait to welcome the lost and lonely to share the cup of my love. 2. O come and eat without money, come to drink without price. My

feast of gladness will feed your spirit with faith and fullness of life. 3. My bread will ever sustain you through days of sorrow and woe.

My wine will flow like a sea of gladness to flood the depths of your soul.

4. Your fields will flower in fullness; your homes will flourish in peace. For I, the giver of home and harvest, will send my rain on the soil.

"HOSEA” 1. Come back to me with all your heart. Don't let fear keep us apart.

Trees do bend, though straight and tall, so must we, to other's call.

Refrain: Long have I waited for your coming, home to me and living, deeply our new lives. 2. The wilderness will lead you, to your heart where I will speak.

Integrity and jus ce, with tenderness, you shall know. (refrain) 3. You shall sleep secure with peace; faithfulness will be your joy. Recessional: “AMAZING GRACE” 1. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see. 2. T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear, and Grace, my fears re-lieved. How precious did that Grace appear, the hour I first believed.

SabiaUsted?Utilicesolucióncreativadeproblemasparaencontrarnuevasmanerasdeprotegeralosniños. En el programa Protegiendo a los niños de Dios, los adultos aprenden cómo identificar posibles signos de abuso y cómo detectar compor-tamientos que indiquen la existencia de un posible depredador, incluso antes de que ocurra el abuso. Otra herramienta preventiva de protec-ción infantil es la solución creativa de problemas, donde los adultos aprenden a pensar de manera innovadora cuando se trata de encontrar soluciones para proteger a los niños. Una herramienta creativa muy efectiva es reenfocar el pensamiento del grupo, alejándolo del “problema” percibido y orientándolo productivamente hacia una solución colaborativa. Considere el desafío de cómo tratar con los delincuentes sexuales registrados, cuyos hijos asisten a la escuela o participan en la educación religiosa en la parroquia. En lugar de discutir el tema, el líder podría pedirles a los participantes que terminen las siguientes ora-ciones: “¿No sería horrible si ...” y “¿No sería maravilloso si ...” Una vez que todos hayan respondido, el grupo puede revisar las respuestas para encontrar temas de conexión que pueden proporcionar una solu-ción no probada anteriormente

DID YOU KNOW? Use creative problem solving to fine new ways to protect children. In the Protecting God’s Children program, adults learn how to identify potential signs of abuse and how to pick up on red flag behaviors that indicate a potential predator, even before abuse happens. Another tool in the arsenal of child protection is creative problem solving, where adults learn to think outside the box when it comes to finding solutions for protecting children. One very effective creative problem-solving tool is to refocus the group’s thinking, turning it away from the perceived “problem” and productively more toward a collaborative solution. Con-sider the challenge of how to deal with registered sex offenders whose children attend the school or participate in religious education at the parish. Rather than discuss the topic, the leader might ask participants to finish the following sentences, “Wouldn’t it be awful if…” and “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if…” Once everyone has provided responses, the group can look through the answers to find connecting themes that may provide a previously untried solution
