                    La Bendición Aarónica nos muestra que  el amor de Dios el Padre, la gracia del hijo Jesucristo y la comunión del Espíritu Santo pueden reinar sobre nosotros. Esto es una relación con el Dios Trino que se debe renovar cada día pues “cada día trae su propio afán”.

You have not worked with Him,” said a Christian friend to him. Then the young man thought, “If God wants to run the cheese business, He can do it, and I’ll work
