Queridos Parroquianos,
Comparto con ustedes un poema que encontré en rezandovoy.org. Cristóbal Fones, el Jesuita chileno ha escrito
una canción que usa este poema.
A ui estoy, Senor
A ui estoy Senor,
arado de arri a a ajo, despojado de la vieja cosecha, sin
una sola hier a verde A ui estoy Senor,
la reja de hierro
me ha volteado
de dentro afuera
y ha sacado al aire
la entrana fragil
y la piedra dura.
A ui estoy Senor,
todo entero al sol ue uema y al rocio de la noche
puro surco rajado,
herido de esperanza,
a ierto para la nueva siem ra A ui estoy Senor.

Sowing the Seeds of Faith: It is (Almost) All in the Family
First Annual STM Religious Education Lecture,
Thursday, October 22, 5:30 pm. Corcoran Commons,
Heights Room, Prof. Thomas H. Groome.
The Church often repeats that the family is the primary
religious educator. Parents can well hear this as a daunt-
ing task, and they may feel that the Church does little to
support them in their evangelizing and catechizing responsibilities—to sow and grow the seeds of faith. This
inaugural presentation will reflect on why the home is so
central and will make practical suggestions for how the
family can be "the first educator in the ways of faith"
(Rite of Baptism).
