DID YOU KNOW? A healthy scrutiny of programs for kids helps create a healthy environment. It is not a best practice for a parent, guardian, employer, or manager to blindly trust everyone who works with children. Yet, paranoia of those who work with children is also not a best practice. There is a healthy balance. By regularly and frequently questioning the actions and motives of those who work with children, parents and other adults can audit the programs their children participate in and help keep caregivers accountable for their work. In this process, parents and other adults can create a constant fear of being caught in the mind of a perpetrator. By channeling this kind of healthy scrutiny and suspicion into accountability, adults can create an environment where children are protected, quality care is emulated, and abuse is not tolerated. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article, “An ounce of healthy suspicion is 3 worth a pound of prevention,” email: [email protected].

REGULACION NATURAL DE LA FERTILIDAD

Planificación Natural de la Familia La Clase de Planificación Natural de Familia St. Gerard Majella Church 4439 Inglewood Blvd. Loas Ángeles , Calif. 90066 (Intersección - Culver Blvd. / Inglewood Blvd.)

El moderno Método Billings, desarrollado por los esposos y médicos John y Evelyn Billings, es fácil de aprender, seguro y eficaz, comprobado en todo el mundo para posponer el embarazo o para planear y encargar bebitos. Plan de Dios para la Planificación Familiar • La Fertilidad es una señal de salud, solo las mujeres sanas tienen fertilidad. • Los anticonceptivos causan danos físicos, morales, espirituales, y psicológicos.

Novios: Aprendan antes de casarse el Método Natural Billings y eviten así los danos y maldiciones de los anticonceptivos. Esposos: No dañen mas la salud y la vida de los esposas y eviten en su matrimonio los nocivos anticonceptivos.

Confía! Dios tiene un plan para tu matrimonio.

(No dañen su salud con los anticonceptivos, aprendan este método natural, cuida tu salud, tu matrimonio, y tu alma. En cambio los anticonceptivos pueden causar cáncer y provocar abortos químicos. Su uso es pecado grave.)
