Preparation:

Much of what we can accomplish depends on the skills and abilities of the participants. The sooner you register the sooner we can start preparing. We will start setting up programs, etc. during our October 2010 visit to Los Toros and finalize them in January 2011. 

The summer will speed by quickly and university students can get very busy in September, so we need to start working during the summer! So please send in your application or registtration!

Oración de Paz - de San Francisco

O Dios, haz de me instrumento de tu paz

Donde haya odio, siembre yo amor;

Donde haya injuria, perdón

Donde hay duda, fe;

Donde hay desaliento, esperanza

Donde haya sombra, luz;

Donde haya tristeza, alegría

Divino maestro, concédeme que no busque

Ser consolado sino consolar;

Ser comprendido sino comprender

Ser amado sino amar;

Porque dando es que recibimos;

Perdonando es que tu nos perdonas

Y muriendo en ti es como nacemos a vida eterna.

Amen
