Dear Families,
May the peace of the Lord be always with you.
This Sunday Jesus tells us a parable. Parables are stories that teach a lesson. He speaks about a sower, a person who plants seeds. This sower throws seeds all over and they land on paths, in rocks and thorn bushes, and on good soil. Jesus teaches that the kingdom of heaven is like seed that has been planted on good soil.
As a family, watch video in its entirety, then ask each other. What type of soil do you think your faith is growing in? Do you need to change it? If so, how might you?

My dear families,
I pray this email finds you all well and praying as a family.
In this week’s video in the Gospel of John, Jesus prays to the Father for His Disciples. We are His Disciples. What a blessing to know that Jesus prays for us. Jesus is working for, in, and through us.
Thank the Lord for all his works and words. Ask the Lord to show you how to be in the world, but not of the world. Remember to always love one another as He loves you.
As a family, ask each other how are we Jesus’ Disciples? How can you witness to each other that you are a disciple of Christ?
May the peace of the Lord be always with you.

Always, I pray this email finds you all well and praying as a family.
This Sunday’s Gospel of John 20:19-23 takes place on the third day after Jesus died. The disciples were gathered under locked doors for fear of the Jews. Suddenly Jesus appears and said “Peace be with you”. Jesus gave them peace. Jesus is alive! He is Risen!
In the midst of this pandemic, we are experiencing worries, anxieties, problems, disappointments and death. Through emails you have watched videos, read, and live streamed mass in your home re the Passion, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of our Lord. Therefore, let us receive His peace, let us rejoice, Jesus is alive, He is risen, He is with us.
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday and this week’s video is from the Acts of the Apostles. They are gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem. Watch the video and take notice of what happens.
Do we at St. Anne’s come from different countries? Do we experience the Holy Spirit at work in our community in many languages? As a family, ask each other how can we proclaim the word of God no matter what language we speak?
May the peace of the Lord be always with you.
Siempre, rezo para que este correo electrónico los encuentre a todos bien y orando como familia.
El Evangelio de este domingo Juan 20:19-23 es el tercer día después de la muerte de Jesús. Los discípulos están reunidos bajo puertas cerradas por temor a los Judíos. De repente Jesús aparece y dijo "La paz esté con ustedes". Jesús les dio paz. ¡Jesús está a vivo! ¡Ha resucitado!
En medio de esta pandemia, estamos teniendo experiencias de preocupaciones, ansiedades, problemas, decepciones y muerte. A través de correos electrónicos han visto videos, han leído y transmitidos en vivo las misas en sus casas de la Pasión, Muerte, Resurrección y Ascensión de nuestro Señor. Por lo tanto, recibamos Su paz, regocijémonos, Jesús está vivo, ha resucitado, Él está con nosotros.
Este domingo es domingo de Pentecostés y el video de esta semana es de los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Están reunidos en el Cenáculo de Jerusalén. Vea el video y tome nota de lo que sucede.
¿En Santa Ana venimos de diferentes países? ¿Está el Espíritu Santo trabajando en nuestra comunidad en muchos idiomas? Como familia, pregúntense mutuamente ¿cómo podemos proclamar la palabra de Dios sin importar qué idioma hablemos?
Que la paz del Señor este siempre con ustedes.

My dear families,
I pray this email finds you all well and that you are praying as a family. Trusting God is watching over all of you.
In this Sunday’s gospel Jesus tells us that he will not leave us orphans. Even in the midst of our struggles we can rest assured that Jesus is with us to comfort and strengthen us. Know that Jesus loves you and hugs you. As a family ask each other these questions. How are you feeling Jesus loving hugs? How are you hugging Jesus? How do you know Jesus loves you? Do you love Jesus?
John 14:15-21

Dear Families,
I greet you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This week is Holy Trinity Sunday, and when we make the sign of the cross we are recalling the mystery of our faith that expresses the Holy Trinity, one God who is three persons – God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This Sunday let us rejoice that God chooses to interact with us in different, loving ways.
Sunday’s Gospel John 3:16-18 talks about how God sends Jesus to save the world, He loves us and wants to give us eternal life. Read the Gospel together as a family.
This week’s video will be only in English. Sing together and rejoice!

Queridas familias,
Los saludos en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Esta semana es el domingo de la Santísima Trinidad, y cuando hacemos la señal de la cruz estamos recordando el misterio de nuestra fe que expresa la Santísima Trinidad, un Dios que es tres personas: Dios Padre, Jesús el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo. Este domingo nos regocijamos de que Dios elige interactuar con nosotros de maneras diferentes y amorosas.
El Evangelio del domingo Juan 3, 16-18 habla de cómo Dios envía a Jesús para salvar al mundo, nos ama y quiere darnos la vida eterna. Lean juntos el Evangelio como familia.
El video de esta semana será solo en inglés. ¡Cantar juntos y alegrarse!
Tanto Amo Dios Al Mundo…
John 3:16 – Juan 3, 16
