Cursillo:
Paroisse de la Visitation Parish
All Cursillistas are invited to the next Ultreya on Friday, January 13, 2012 at Sacred Heart Parish in LaSalle beginning at
7:30 pm. Come join us for a time of prayer and fellowship as we begin the new year.
Jesus is the supreme example and teacher of stewardship. After Jesus, it is the Blessed Virgin Mary
who, by her example, most perfectly shows us the
meaning of discipleship and stewardship. All of the
essential elements are found in her life: she was
called and gifted by God; she responded joyfully
and generously; she was patient and persistent in
her maternal role from the manger to the cross.
The question in all of this is what about us? Do we
also wish to be disciples and stewards?

Mary, Mother of God:
Although things may seem uncertain to
us, God offers His blessings. He is
willing to journey with us and offers us
His graces just as He did with Mary,
the Mother of God.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu:
Au début d’une
nouvelle année, l’avenir peut sembler incertain. Dieu, pourtant, nous offre toujours sa bénédiction. Il s’engage à nous
accompagner sur notre route et à nous donner toute sa faveur, comme il l’a fait d’une façon toute spécial et unique
avec celle qu’il a choisie pour être la mère du Sauveur, Marie, la Mère de Dieu.
Suivre les Rois mages:
Au
retour, à la suite du temps de Noël, les
élèves de nos écoles catholiques vivront
une activité sur le thème de l’Épiphanie.
Celle-ci visera à nous rappeler que nous
sommes toujours en route comme les Rois mages et que
nous devons être aujourd’hui des témoins du grand cadeau
de Dieu et de l’AVENTure que nous avons commencé ensemble.

it to the 4th stage of Awakening. If your marriage suffers
