Welcome March - Bienvenido Marzo

Reflections by Maritza Martínez Mejía

March is here and spring season near with beautiful flowers, but intense showers ready to celebrate a new Season of life.

Spring personifies a season of rebirth as Lent is a renewal to increase our faith by giving, praying and fasting. Both Season invites us to spiritual reflection and personal growth.

May this season be a time of hope and inspiration!

I wish you all a productive Lent

and a Happy Spring!

Marzo ya está aquí y la primavera se acerca con hermosas flores, pero también con intensas lluvias listas para celebrar una nueva estación de vida.

La primavera personifica una estación de renacimiento, al igual que la Cuaresma es una renovación para aumentar nuestra fe mediante la caridad, la oración y el ayuno. Ambas estaciones nos invitan a la reflexión espiritual y al crecimiento personal.

¡Que esta estación sea un tiempo de esperanza e inspiración!

¡Les deseo a todos/as una productiva Cuaresma

y una Alegre Primavera!

Welcome February - Bienvenido febrero

Reflections by Maritza Martínez Mejía

February is a month dedicated to Love, but what is Love? It is a deliberate act of my will.

Scriptures tell us that "Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it’s not arrogant or rude, Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful." ~1Corinthios:13:4-5~

Let's celebrate Love!

Love

Feel

Blissful

To be loved

Yet better give

Love!

My favorite Valentine’s Activities my children made at Elementary School:

PLACEMAT INSTRUCTIONS

💗 Trace hearts with color pencil on a heavy paper stock

💗 Color the inside with different color crayons.
💗 If possible, laminated the paper & Round corners for safety

Febrero es un mes dedicado al Amor, pero ¿qué es el Amor? Es un acto deliberado de mi voluntad.

Las Sagradas Escrituras nos dicen que "el amor es paciente, servicial y sin envidia. No quiere aparentar ni se hace el importante. No actúa con bajeza, ni busca su propio interés." ~1 Cor.13: 4-5~

¡Celebremos al Amor! 💖
