It is amazing to see the thousands of people that continue to welcome and support the Buddhist monks who are walking for peace. It is wonderful to witness how so many people are drawn to their example and desire for peace.<\/p>\n

Most striking of all is the atmosphere of reverence that greets the monks wherever they go and the peace that permeates the crowds who await them. Without a doubt their desire and dedication to take the message of peace to people\u2019s lives is a gift that is being well received and wanted.<\/p>\n

St. Julia Parish had the privilege of having the venerable monks walk by the church this Thursday morning. We rang the church bells as our greeting to the monks and as a sign of our support and union with them.\u00a0We feel blessed to have had them so close.<\/p>\n

May God bless them, protect them, and keep the flame of peace and compassion burning in their hearts.<\/p>\n

We bless them for the example they offer us and the peace they give to us.<\/p>\n

You are in my prayers and in my heart. Peace and Good. Friar Julio<\/p>\n

Es asombroso ver a las miles de personas que contin\u00faan recibiendo y apoyando a los monjes budistas que caminan por la paz. Es maravilloso presenciar c\u00f3mo tantas personas se sienten atra\u00eddas por su ejemplo y su anhelo de paz.<\/p>\n

Lo m\u00e1s impactante de todo es la atm\u00f3sfera de reverencia que rodea a los monjes dondequiera que van y la paz que impregna a las multitudes que los esperan. Sin duda, su deseo y dedicaci\u00f3n de llevar el mensaje de paz a la vida de las personas es un regalo que est\u00e1 siendo bien recibido y apreciado.<\/p>\n

La parroquia de Santa Julia tuvo el privilegio de que los venerables monjes pasaran junto a la iglesia este jueves por la ma\u00f1ana. Tocamos las campanas de la iglesia como saludo a los monjes y como se\u00f1al de nuestro apoyo y uni\u00f3n con ellos. Nos sentimos bendecidos por haberlos tenido tan cerca.<\/p>\n

Que Dios los bendiga, los proteja y mantenga encendida la llama de la paz y la compasi\u00f3n en sus corazones.<\/p>\n

Los bendecimos por el ejemplo que nos ofrecen y la paz que nos transmiten.<\/p>\n

Est\u00e1n en mis oraciones y en mi coraz\u00f3n. Paz y bien. Fray Julio<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
