July 7, 2026 Aleteia   Hello!   How is each and every one? We are now half way through the year 2026.   How did you manage through the first half?   Surely you made it with flying colors, that is, you achieved all your expected plans for those months?   Anyway, we have the following half to continue achieving our goals.   You know we have a junior staff by the name of Julyna.   When asked why that is, she said that her parents were not aware it was already July and when they did she was coming out of the delivery room.

After which she was also blessed. The following days were as beautiful and peaceful but festive?   She looked radiant; no changes in the way she was prepared and made up to rest.   I am simply impressed at how well she looked during last four days until the morning of the funeral. The Lord takes good care of the ones who also know how to take good care of the Lord in their lives.  “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Mt 6:33).  I personally have witnessed this in her life.  I have heard or read that all brides are beautiful and I am su...
