GLVN Bulletin
News for GLVN Volunteers (Thông Tin cho Thầy Cô GLVN)
April 6, 2017
Dear Catechists,
We are entering into Holy Week as Jesus enters into Jerusalem this Palm Sunday. While this Sunday's Gospel reading is a long one, it is one that is filled with so much love. As adults, we hear the words in this week's Gospel and it's easy for us to envision what was happening. For our youth, it may be a little harder, especially when the reading is so long.
If possible, I encourage teachers to take some time during your classes this Sunday to highlight points of the Gospel and help them understand and see the love that God has for them as they journey with His Son into Jerusalem and to Calvary. What you share with them this Sunday will be a wonderful gift to them as they head into Holy Week so that they can pray and experience the Triduum and Jesus' passion in a different and more reverent way this year. I'm including some resources below for you to use with your students.
Thank you for all that you do for our youth and for all your support and commitment to the GLVN program. Have a blessed weekend!
In Christ,
Chi
(PS. If there is anyone who didn't give up Facebook for Lent ... could you please share the link to this bulletin on our Teacher Facebook group for me? :-) Thank you!!)
Missed Our Catechist Meeting?
A Female Retreat for Grades 7-12
We appreciate your help to extend the invite to young female teens that you know as well. It will be a beautiful retreat day together learning how to Be Loved by God and sharing in the sisterhood that God has given our youth here at our parish.
Background About the Challenge
This year, students will earn tickets, and they can exchange them any time throughout the GLVN Challenge for all sorts of fun prizes. It's a little like Chuck E Cheese. This way the students are really just challenging themselves (versus competing against others). Last year's competition got a little to competitive, and so we wanted to change it up a little this year to keep it fun.
Challenge activities will be handed out before the Mass time, and are always due the following Sunday to earn the points for the specific activities. No late submissions will be accepted.
Click here to read the details on how to participate. Please encourage your students to take part in the GLVN Challenge!
Weekly challenge worksheets will also be posted online at https://www.smore.com/4avnt
Morning Prayer Together
Don't forget to join us exactly at 9:45 a.m. each Sunday morning in the Teacher's Lounge for morning prayer together. It will be brief (2-3 minutes) so that you can get to your classrooms before 10. Whether there are 30 of us or just 2 of us -- this brief prayer time will take place every Sunday, so please join in to offer up our day to Jesus!
All-School Prayer for 2016-2017
KINH NHẬT TỤNG THÁNH TÔ-MA AQUI-NÔ
Lạy Thiên Chúa của con, xin cho con một trí tuệ để nhận biết Chúa, một trái tim để tìm kiếm Chúa, sự khôn ngoan để gặp gỡ Chúa, mọi hành động được đẹp lòng Chúa một lòng kiên trì chờ đợi Chúa, và sau cùng là niềm hy vọng sẽ được ôm chặt lấy Chúa. Amen.
St. Thomas Aquinas Daily Prayer
Grant me, O Lord my God, a mind to know you, a heart to seek you, wisdom to find you, conduct pleasing to you, faithful perseverance in waiting for you, and a hope of finally embracing you. Amen.
