DID YOU KNOW? Always keep your blind spots in mind Each week, more than 50 children are killed or injured when a driver backs up the car. In an overwhelming number of those cases, a parent, relative, or close friend is behind the wheel. It's devastating to think that a simple action could cause such harm to your child, but it happens far too frequently. Be aware of your ‘blind spots’ when you’re behind the wheel — those areas you know are there, but can’t see clearly from your mirrors. Check out what’s happening around your vehicle before you get in. make sure you know where your children are before you start your car. For a copy of the complete VIRTUS® article, “A Preventable Accident, “visit http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx. ¿SABIA QUE? Siempre tenga en cuenta sus puntos ciegos Cada semana, mas de 50 niños son asesinados o resultan heridos cuando un conductor retrocede en su automóvil. En un numero abrumador de esos casos, un padre de familia, pa-riente o amigo cercano esta detrás del volante. Es devastador pensar que una acción tan sencilla podría causar tanto daño a su hijo/a, pero sucede con demasiada frecuencia. Sea consciente de sus “puntos ciegos” cuando este detrás del volante, esas áreas que se sabe que están ahí pero uno no puede ver claramente desde sus espejos retrovisores. Verifique lo que esta sucediendo alrededor de su vehículo antes de subirse al mismo. Asegúrese de saber donde están sus hijos antes de encen-der su automóvil.

Why celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family?

By celebrating the Sunday following Christmas as the Feast of the Holy Family, the Church encourages us to look to the Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph for inspi-ration, example and encouragement. Jesus brought ho-liness to the family of Joseph and Mary as Jesus brings us model family in which both parents worked hard, helped each other, understood and took good care of their Child so that He might grow up not only in hu-man knowledge but also as a Child of God.

Porque celebramos el día Festivo de la Sagrada Familia?

Al celebrar el Domingo siguiente de la Navidad como el día Festivo de la Sagrada Familia, la Iglesia nos alienta a inspiración, como ejemplo y animo. Jesús trajo la sanidad a la familia de José y María, tal como Jesús nos trae santidad al acogernos en Su familia. Eran un modelo como familia en la que ambos padres trabajaron duro, se ayudaron uno a otro y se compren-dieron y aceptaron, y cuidaron bien a su Hijo para que pudiera crecer no solo en el conocimiento humano sino también como un Hijo de Dios. ******************************************** WORLDWIDE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER: You have been given the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in your marriage.
