Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to you. Allow Your hea-ling hand to heal them. Touch their soul with Your compassion for others. Touch their Heart with Your coura-ge and infinite love for all. Touch their mind with Your wisdom, that their mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach them to reach out

to You in their need, and help them to lead others to You by example. Most loving Heart of Jesús, bring them health in body and spirit that they may serve You with all their strength. Touch gently these lives which You have crea-ted, now and forever. Amen

Gospel: mark 6: 1-6 If you and a partner were sent to several different schools to talk about your faith, what worries might you have? When Jesus sent his apostles out two by two, he warned them that some people would not welcome them. He insisted that they take to the road without food or money, trusting in God and the goodness of their hosts. If people would not provide for them or listen to their message, they were to move on to the next place. But those who accepted the apostles were rewarded. The sick were healed, the possessed were freed of demons, and sinners were reconciled. 1.) What kinds of training have you been given at home, at school, or in the community? 2.) How have you shared the training you received? 3.) If you were asked to teach younger children a faith lesson, what kinds of materials might you want to take with you?

Evangeglio: marco 6: 1-6 Si tú y tu compañero son enviados a diferentes escuelas a hablar de tu fe, ¿qué te preocuparía? Cuando Jesús envío a sus apóstoles de dos en dos, él les avisó que algunas personas no los aceptarían. El insistió en que ellos debían salir sin llevar ropa, dinero o comida, que confiaran en Dios y la bondad de sus anfitriones. Si el pueblo no les ofrecía comida o no escuchaba su mensaje, debían ir a otro lugar. Los que escucharon a los apóstoles fueron recompensados. Los enfermos fueron sanados, los poseídos limpiados de los demonios y los pecadores reconciliados. 1.) ¿Qué tipo de entrenamiento has recibido en tu casa, la es cuela o en la comunidad?

2.) ¿Cómo has compartido el entrenamiento que has recibido? 3.) ¿ Si se te pide enseñar a un niño más pequeño que tú una lección de fe, ¿qué materiales quisieras llevar contigo?

We would like to thank Father Jose Lucero from Corpus Christi Church, Supervisor John Avalos, and the SF Police officer from Ingelside Police Station.
