Reflexión de la Semana Pasada
Durante el curso de nuestras vidas "
experimentamos muchas pérdidas y decepciones."
Esto nos demuestra además lo grácil que son nuestras"
esperanzas, y lo quebradizos que son nuestros sueños."
Señor, que el esplendor de tu resurrección"
disipe las tinieblas de la muerte,"
y nos permita caminar en la esperanza radiante"
hacia el reino donde no hay más esperanzas "
o sueños destrozados."

Last Week’s Reflection
!
During the course of our lives"
we experience many losses and disappointments."
This brings home to us how fragile are our hopes,"
and how brittle our dreams."
Lord, may the splendor of your resurrection"
scatter the shadows of death,"
and enable us to walk in radiant hope"
towards the kingdom where there are"
no more shattered hopes or broken dreams."
