PRAYER FOR AECYA 2012

Father, may your Word be a lamp for our steps

and a light for our paths. Pour out your Spirit upon us

that we may witness to the truth and be steadfast in our commitment to Christ.

May we respect the dignity for each person and, accompanied by our

Blessed Mother, Mary, ponder your word deep in our hearts

and spread the Gospel by the example of our lives.

Give us strength when we are weak,

hope when we despair, joy when we are sad

courage when we are afraid, and be a light for us

when we lose our way. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

St. St. St. St. John Bosco, Patron of Youth,

THE LIGHT OF TRUTH

How can someone be filled with God, when they fill themselves voluntarily with the corruption of the world? How can a temple of the Holy Spirit open its senses which are the doors of the soul to the perversion that exists? How can a human being who wants to find God, fill himself of all the rubbish of the world and contaminate in such way that in the end, he can not really be filled with God, but with the world? This is why it is so easy to lose the perception of the evil spirits, when the spirit is not united to God’s Spirit.

My words continue to be valid for my believers, in my name they can cast out evil spirits, they can pray over the sick and they will be healed. But to believe in me, is to accept my yoke of perfection, to surrender in obedience to my call, to fulfill my will, to practice charity and to desire to be holy as I am holy.

He who follows me receives my peace, this accompanies him and becomes the tool that allows him to open hearts and fill them with God. My word strengthens him and gives him confidence to speak; my Spirit guides him and takes him through my luminous path to extend my love everywhere he goes.

Where there are two or more gathered in my name, I am there in their midst, I listen to them, I instruct them and entrust them with my desire to fill the world with my love. Get together in prayer groups and ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you. I reward faith, I instruct those who wish to be instructed, I console the afflicted, strengthen the weak, heal the sick and fill the soul with virtue, so that it can carry my cross and live exemplarily. theWorkofgod (exerpt)

FISHERS OF MEN

Do you have friends? We can be friends with each other.

Jesus had very “special” friends that he called Disciples

or Apostles. This is a story when Jesus said, “Follow me

and I will make you fisher’s of men.”

♦ What did Peter, Andrew, James, and John do for a living?

♦ They had fished all night, but had not caught anything. Jesus told them to put out their fishing nets again. Did they catch any fish?

♦ How did they feel when they saw how many fish they had caught?

♦ Jesus told them to not be what? \

♦ Jesus asked them to come with him and He will make them fishermen of what? ♦ What did the fishermen do?

♦ What did Matthew do for a living?

♦ Was John the Baptist one of Jesus’ disciples?

THE DISCIPLES

F aith is like a little flame that burns in

the heart, he who wishes to have

more faith must provide the necessary

fuel to make his flame grow to become a

radiant sun; this can be achieved through

prayer, the sacraments and good deeds. He,

who wishes to have much faith, will receive

much faith, he who searches will find, but he

who sleeps will miss out on Christ’s visita-

tion, because He rejoice meeting with those

who are eager to meet Him. In order to grow

in the faith, you must grow in desire to live in

Him and not in sin, many people desire ar-

dently to sin and end up living in sin, He ask

that you, burn with great passion for Him and

live in His Love.
