e ir al cine. Busca ideas en “Making Love On A Bud-

get” (El amor con presupuesto limitado)

Pautas Para Padres “Las partes del cuerpo son muchas, pero el cuerpo es

uno”. (1 Cor 12:12) Cada parte de nuestro cuerpo es

importante y conectada. Así también los miembros

de la familia humana. Recuerda hoy el valor de cada

vida nacida o no nacida, al prójimo que también pue-

de ser refugiado, a los amigos y aun a los enemigos.

Marchemos para la protección de toda vida humana.
