Kearney Students View NYC from One World Observatory
There are a million things to experience in New York City, but only one way to truly see them all. This week
Bishop Kearney students visited One World Observatory and were treated to the spectacular view. The observation deck sits atop the 104-story skyscraper, the nation's tallest building. At 1,776 feet the Kearney girls
were able to view all of New York City and 50 miles past the skyline and Statue of Liberty to the Atlantic
Ocean.
Meet our Intern of the Week
Bishop Kearney believes a job is a priviledge. This summer several students earned paid internships in various departments of Kearney.
They are gaining valuable work experience and building their resumes.
Please meet our intern of the week:
Danielle Esposito, Class of 2017
Christine Downes, Directory of Development said
“Danielle is diligently working
to update our alumnae database. She has a strong attention to detail and
is an asset the development staff.”

Riflessione del mese di luglio
OCCHIALI NUOVI
Non vedo molto bene da vicino, Signore.
Almeno le cose che mi riguardano:
i miei errori, i miei difetti.
Mentre inquadro benissimo quelli degli altri:
per me non ne azzeccano una giusta,
sbagliano sempre.
Per caso, secondo te, ho problemi di vista?
Sarà per questo che non distinguo i contorni,
non capisco chi ha bisogno di me.
Confondo le illusioni con le cose importanti.
Trovo che è più importante
apparire una brava persona
piuttosto che esserlo veramente.
Devo avere anche un po' di strabismo.
Vorrei andare di qua e, invece, vado di là,
seguire il bene e cado nella trappola del male.
Se continuerò così, Signore, perderò del tutto la vista.
È ora che mi regali un paio di occhiali nuovi
che mi facciano inquadrare chi sono io veramente.
Mi aiutino ad accorgermi
di chi mi passa accanto perché lo senta come fratello o
sorella.
Mi facciano vedere che chi chiede una mano
non è un peso ma una possibilità
per restituire quanto ho ricevuto da te,
che chi non mi è simpatico
rappresenta un' occasione per dimostrare
che esiste un altro modo di stare con gli altri.
Fai in modo, Signore, che con i tuoi occhiali
io ti veda in ogni azione della mia giornata,
da passare in tua compagnia.
Attenzione giudizio non giudicare solidarietà egois.

TOMADO DE LA PALABRA
ENTRE NOSOTROS
Que gozo inefable debe haber sentído María de
betania a los pies de Cristo escuchando sus
palabras! Jesús sólo quería que ella reposara
en su presencia, escuchando atentamente lo
que él le enseñaba acerca del Padre y su reino.
Marta, en cambio , no veía más allá de los preparativos para la ocasión y, por eso, aunque
amaba entrañablemente a Jesús, se perdió la
oportunidad de recibir la sabia palabra del Señor.
Piense cómo sería el mundo si todos los cristianos mantuviéramos una perfecta unidad de
propósito bajo el Señorío de Cristo, si antes de
cada buena obra hubiese reflexión y oración ; si
todos viviéramos unidos en un mismo espíritu y
el Señor se manifestara en nosotros mediantes
grandes obras de amor al prójimo. María y
Marta eran hermanas y creyentes , pero
cuando Jesús estaba enseñando , sólo una de
ellas reconocía la importancia de recibir lo que
él quería darles.
Considere hoy lo siguiente: Conoce usted a
Jesús como salvador y amigo, mas que como
Dios cuyos mandatos tiene que obeder? Cree
usted que él lo ha librado del miedo a la muerte
y del poder del pecado, o sólo espera que sus
buenas obras finalmente valgan más que sus
faltas y errores? Puede detenerse un momento
ahora para escuchar a su Señor y Amigo que le
habla, o tiene cosas más importantes que
hacer?
Cada dia aquiete la mente para orar en un lugar
sin distracciones , aunque sea por un momento.
Dedique un poco de tiempo cada día para
hacer una lectura meditada de la palabra de
Dios , sin mirar la televisión ni las redes
sociales que hoy dia son de uso comun o diario
en nuestras vidas.
Hay muchas maneras para encontrar la voz de
Dios , pídele al Señor de manera especial que
te indique cuales son esas maneras y te darás
cuenta que el mismo te mostrara poco a poco el
camino a seguir para encontrar la gracia hacia
su voluntad divina.
