This past sunday was really a special one for me. I woke up at 9am, I over slept. The Church bells woke me up (thank God) and I got ready for the day. I had a Confirmation class to teach at 10:15 and I wasn’t sure what exactly I was supposed to do. I just kept thinking to myself, let the Spirit be my guide. Yesterday I talked to my class about the Schism in the Church. We read about the Schism and then had a discussion on it. I then split the class of 4, in to two groups. Then I told them that they were going to participate in a ’schism’ exercise. One would be church and the other would be the state. The topic was, ‘Should the title ‘In God we trust’ be on the currency? It was quite a debate. No team one of course, because both provided applicable arguments to their arguments. I asked them how could this exersice be related to the schism. They are smart kids and they never fail to amaze me.

Later that day the Sons of Mary and Fr. Dominic went to a park in Newark, NJ to look at the Cherry Trees blossom. There was one big problem though, they weren’t blossoming yet. So we walked around the park for about an hour and we had alot of fun. We came to a row of trees in which we all climbed and had our picture taken. Then I climbed a tree in an act that surely defies modern physics, and gravity laws! I love hanging out with the guys. It is a good relaxing time away from the constant running around of life.

God Bless,
