The bishops of the U.S. invite us to reflect on the Guidelines. Doing so gives us a better perspective in serving with our Church with disAbilities.

God is love! Let us ask the Holy Spirit to renew our love for each other that we may serve with our Church with disAbilities lovingly. --- ¡Dios es amor! Pidamosle al Espíritu Santo que renueve el amor entre nosotros para que sirvamos amorosamente con nuestra Iglesia con disCapacidad. #catholicusest

Parents of children with disAbilities who come to our Adaptive Faith Formation program share their faith in God when we take the time to ask a simple question: How is (their son/daughter's name) doing? #catholicusest

3 adaptations you can easily implement in the classroom/group for your candidates with low vision: + have them use a magnifying glass for up-close activities + provide a desk lamp + ask parents/guardians for their best tips!

During our Adaptive Faith Formation session, we made the ASL sign for Jesus and did the same one for Emmanuel so our young candidates make the connection between the person of Jesus and the 2 different spoken names for Him. ,, #catholicusest

Let us see others with the eyes of Christ. Let us smile at the young person with an invisible disAbility when she takes the last chair available. Let us love one another like Jesus has loved us. 🎵 A grace sufficient by JOYSPRING #catholicusest
