- GOSPEL - - PICTURE FROM THE PAST -

A reading from the holy gospel according to John Some Greeks who had come to worship at the Passover Feast came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there also will my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me. “I am troubled now,. Yet what should I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it and will glorify it again.” The crowd there heard it and said it was thunder; but others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come for my sake but for yours. Now is the time of judgement on this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” He said this indicating the kind of death he would die. EVANGILE DE JESUS CHRIST SELON ST. JOHN Quelques Grecs, du nombre de ceux qui étaient montés pour adorer pendant la fête, s’adressèrent à Philippe, de Bethsaïda en Galilée, et lui dirent avec instance: Seigneur, nous voudrions voir Jésus. Philippe alla le dire à André, puis André et Philippe le dirent à Jésus. Jésus leur répon- dit: L’heure est venue où le Fils de l’homme doit être glorifié. En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, si le grain de blé qui est tombé en terre ne meurt, il reste seul; mais, s’il meurt, il porte beaucoup de fruit.

This Week’s Topic: COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER Helping Children Cope With Stress During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Ways to help children cope with stress during a global pandemic:

WATCH FOR BEHAVIOR CHANGES IN YOUR CHILD • Not all children and teens respond to stress in the same way. WAYS TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD • Talk with your child about the COVID-19 outbreak. • Reassure your child that they are safe. • Limit your family’s exposure to news coverage of the event, including social media. • Try to keep up with regular routines. • Be a role model. • Spend time with your child in meaningful activities (reading, exercising, games, etc.) Learn more about signs of stress in children and ways to support your child and their mental health by visiting https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/for-parents.html
