Did You Know? What is child sex trafficking? Child sex trafficking occurs when a minor is involved in a commercial sex act where sex is traded for money, food, shelter, drugs or anything else of value. Perpetrators of sex trafficking often target children believing their age makes them easier to manipulate and control. This crime is occurring in all types of communities throughout the U.S. and traffickers are making an alarming profit while victims endure abuse and violence. One of the most important things you can do to protect your child is to create an environment in which he or she feels comfortable talking with you as a trusted adult.

EPIPHANY HOUSE BLESSING

The Epiphany House Blessing comes from the old Roman Ritual. The current year and the initials of the Magi (Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar) are marked above the doorway to one's home with chalk:

20 + C M B + 20

as those present say this prayer:

May all who come to our home this year rejoice to find Christ living among us; and may we seek and serve in

every one we meet, Jesus, who is Lord for ever and ever. Amen.

Another explanation for the initials C-M-B is

"Christus mansionem benedicat"

Latin for "May God bless this dwelling place."

¿Sabía Usted?

¿Qué es el tráfico sexual de niños? El tráfico sexual de niños ocurre cuando un menor está involucrado en un acto sexual comercial, en el cual se intercambia sexo por dinero, comida, albergue o cualquier otra cosa de valor. Los perpetradores de tráfico sexual por lo regular escogen niños, creyendo que su edad les permite ser manipulados y controlados más fácilmente. Este crimen está ocurriendo en todo tipo de comunidades alrededor de Estados Unidos, y los traficantes están obteniendo alarmantes ganancias mientras que las víctimas son objeto de abuso y de violencia. Una de las cosas más importantes que usted puede hacer para proteger a su hijo/hija es crear un ambiente en el que él o ella se sienta cómodo/a viéndolo a usted como un adulto confiable con quien puede platicar.

BENDICIÓN DE LA EPIFANÍA

La bendición de la Epifanía viene de un viejo ritual Romano. El año actual y las iniciales de los Reyes Magos (Caspar, Melchor y Baltazar) son marcados con gis sobre el arco de la puerta de entrada del hogar:

20 + C M B + 20

como nosotros decimos esta oración:

Que todos los que vengan a nuestro hogar este año se regocijen al

encontrar a Cristo viviendo entre nosotros; y que busquemos y demos servicio a cada uno que encontremos, Jesús, quien es Señor siempre y para

siempre.

AMÉN.

Otra explicación de las iniciales C-M-B es

"Christus mansionem benedicat"

Latin por "Que Dios bendiga este hogar"
