It is a wonderful experience for the congregation Luz Divina de Márquez to initiate the Program Child of the Future, with the assistance of 120 children who receive Our every Day Bread; prayer that the Church translates it in visible actions related to the presence of the God's Kingdom now. Our gratitude to Living Word Lutheran Church, of USA, Texas, church partner of Luz Divina for his sensibility and solidarity, especially with the children doubly unprotected by the parents and the society.

The Holy communion, it is Christ's real body and the real blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, instituted by crucifix itself, given to the Christians with the bread and the wine so that we eat and drink it, this way it is written in the bible according to Mathew, Mark and Luk and also Apostle Paul says it. For this reason the congregation Luz Divina to construct the unit of the Church; preaches, and celebrates the Holy Communion with everydoby baptized in Christ's family, encourage up and inviting the people to join the God's big family.

Liturgy and Evangelización

On the Holy Friday; the congregation Luz Divina get together to reflect in a participativa form on the message of seven Christ's words. We initiate with the liturgy of respect to the action of Salvation of our God; the one who sends to us his son to die for us (sinned) in the cross winning to all the power of the death and the structural systems that do not respect the rights of the defenseless one, it does not even defend the weakest.

1st Word: Father forgive them because they do not know what they do (Lk. 23:34). 2nd word: I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in the paradise. (Lk. 23:43) 3rd word: Woman, there is your son; there is your mother. (Jn. 19:26-27). 4th word: my god, my God! why have you left

Almost like in the times of Moses, God shows itself “ ... I have listened the clamor of my people … ” the Whole pain, the permanent sacrifice of many families, the unemployment, the alienation, the stigma, the racialism and structural violence; they are the signs of a groan to that God is always attentive for giving us an exit in the middle of the signs of death; the one who proposes to us to turn, return to the ways of the truth, the peace and the social justice. To be a Christ's follower is to load the cross and to be identified and to commit itself with the construction of his Kingdom in the present Now we leave the message as Jesus Christ said it from the cross …:

me? (Mt. 15:34; Mt.27:46) 5th word: I am thirsty (Jn. 19:28). 6th word: Everything is complete. (Jn 19:30)

7th word: Father in your hands I commit my spirit. (Lk. 23:46)

For many years, the congregation Luz Divina de Márquez, congregates on Saturday from 11 p.m. to realize the wake that transports us to the Sunday of resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ The wake that we realize is initiated by us with songs of anthems and festive choirs that help to understand the motive of the celebration, then when the hour marks that we are in Sunday, it is announced that we will initiate the celebration to light the new Paschal Candle that represents the light of the Resuscitated one: Christ illuminates the present and opens the future for the hope!. The history of human it is not any more a march blindly, because the Lord has entered to it and mysteriously He directs it to God, towards the full, eternal life and Bleessings. It is a wonderful celebration, the children and adults, they renew their promises, of following Christ as his only friend and savior. It is exciting to be a part of the God's people that celebrates the Holy Communion, at 4 a.m., where children and adults, sing and

vigil us be vigilant and help us prepare

they pray, together we are grateful to Christ for the resurrection that allows us the eternal life. Victory of the life over the death. The Bible tells us that the women and the apostles were the first witnesses of this awesome event. The meeting with the Lord in the dawn of that Sunday opened to them the eyes and they could understand the sense of the delivery of his life, of his works and of His miracles. The meeting with Resurrected JesusChrist provoked a stir of exhilaration that initiated the mission of the Church that has sowed throughout the treasure of the faith, the hope and the God's love. Luz Divina, ends this big wake, at 5 a.m., when the whole congregation, march towards a hill near to Márquez, singing anthems and choirs, about Christ that has resurrected, He has conquered the death. Then in the top of the hill, we sing, pray, do promises, and shout: CHRIST HAS RISEN ¡ CHRIST HAS RISEN! On having returned to the church, we are waited by a succulent chicken oup, like a big breakfast, which akes

us restore all our strengh. CRIST IS ALIVE ¡

• To propitiate processes of change to become an Inclusive Church. Mission: To proclaim the God's Word taking the Gospel of Our Mister Jesus Christ to our Community, Neighborhood, or urban Marginal Zones. Mathew 28:16-20 Vision: To grow in human quality - Christian; educating for the life to children adolescents, young people and family parents.

San Pablo affirms that “ if Christ should not resuscitate, our faith would be vain; and we would be the unhappiest of the men ”. It is a strong affirmation and simultaneously a confession of the faith that he admits in this unpublished and decisive fact for the humanity that all the God's promises to his village are fulfilled. All our liturgical celebrations, Studies of the Bible, Retirement, Education of the Minor Catechism, must always be a source for the meeting with Christ alive. This was the passion of the apostles to whom we remember in his awkward actions to announce the Kingdom of God, being disciples and missionaries of Jesus Christ so that our peoples in Him could have life in Christ. To fulfill this mission we must be an alive Church and to recognize it like that is to affirm as Apostle Paul: " The Church is Alive and we see it: we experience the happiness that the Resuscitated one has promised to theirs. The Church is alive; because Christ is alive, because he has truly resuscitated".

This is the good news that we want to announce to our People. Amen Words of Reverend Benjamin Navarro P. April, 2009 Márquez-Callao
