God is giving us the opportunity to start a new year, a new page, to write a new story in our hispanic community, the Charismatic renewal is the gift of the Holy Spirit to Our Church and we all have received many gifts.
This is our 3rd assembly and we not only see it growing in size, but we praise him as we see it growing spiritually and in charisms - The Lord spoke to ask through the prophet Hagai, "rebuild my house" as its in ruins, on the second assembly He called us to be One in Christ as He is one with the Father, and today He is inviting us to be united in Love, not the love the world has to offer but the sacrificial love, where we learn to accept who we are and who our brothers and sisters are, where we dont allow division to enter our communities nor set in our hearts, because we are one family...the family of God.
Working towards the unity is a great challenge and the devil will try to discourage you but you have to keep focused .... how do you do that ... by keeping your eyes on the Cross.
Learn to forgive, in order to be forgiven, we all fail and make mistakes, but in Gods school there is always room for an opportunity, to take the test again, we are call to forgive, in God we have room to start again. We must work hard to mantain the unity in our groups as this is part of our Vocation.
There is one shepperd, one body, one Holy nation of God as there is one Holy Catholic Apostolic Church ... let us all stand and profess as the prophet Joshua did .... "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" -- me and my house will work and pray for the unity of the Body of Christ. Amen.

SPIRITUAL VIDEO PRESENTATION
Peace in the Midst of Storm" by His Eminence, Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto
Easy enough for God to say! "Don't worry, Peter. There is no reason to be terrified." Even seasoned veterans know the smell of fear when they launch into perfect storm. And who can blame them? Storm has been seen with casualties. Somebody has to die! Then again, storms are the scary. There are battles against cancer, for example, every bit as hard fought and frightening as armed conflict, battles within families, within the workplace, and even within the church. Not all are terrifying, but all of them are discouraging. So, His Eminence, Thomas Cardinal Collins encourages us on how to claim God's promises under the midst of whatever problems we happen to be facing this very day, he is there with us. Indeed, Peter and the disciples have indisputable proof that God provided a miracle to safeguard his chosen people.
There are many things which can create these storms which come into our lives! The death of a loved one, financial disasters, divorce... when the one you thought you could depend on walks out on you, and many other things which can destroy your happiness and your well being! He is our Blessed Assurance! Put your trust in Him my friend! He is with you and He will bring you through your storm! O Hallelujah! Click play icon or picture to watch the video.
