親愛的主，我們在此一起慶祝，一起呈獻於您，我們這一年來因您的名為您和為您的子民們所付出的心血。請您悅納我們的工作，我們心中的每一個祈禱，我們說的每一句話，我們寫的每一個電子信，我們對人的微笑，我們撒的每一個種子。求您以慈父的心，接受我們為您所做的每一件事，祝福它們，讓它們為您結出百倍的果實。

親愛的天主，我們特別求您悅納我們聖心學校兒童教理班及中文學校所有老師和行政人員過去的辛勞。他們為我們的孩子們付出他們的心血。 我們的孩子們是我們教會的未來。求您祝福他們豐富的喜樂，您那沒人能奪走，永恆的喜樂。求您祝福他們及他們的家庭，求您保守他們，並繼續帶領我們下一代的成長。

Community/Community Prayer (English)

20/20 Team Member During the 2007 SJCCC BBQ

Dear Father in Heaven,

Thank you for giving us this wonderful family, this church community, for us to grow in our faith and to walk our spiritual journey. Thank you for blessing us with this wonderful gathering.

Dear Lord, We are here to celebrate, and together we offer to you all the hard work each of us has done in your Name, for you, and for your people. Please receive the work we have done, please receive every prayer we have in our hearts, every smile we gave to one another, every word we said, every eMail we wrote, every seed that we have sown, and everything that we have done for you, please receive and accept with your Fatherly love, please bless them to bear fruits for you one hundred fold.

Dear God, we pray that you receive the hard work of the CM and Chinese school teachers and administrators of our community. They gave their hearts to the Youth. The Youth is our future. Please bless them with abundant joy, your everlasting joy that no one can take away. Please bless them and their families as they continue to lead and grow our future generation.

Dear Jesus, we pray that you bless our community leaders, Kai Min our chairman, our fearless leader for the last 4 years, our vice-chairpersons, our council, all servant-leaders of the Mandarin, Cantonese, and the English communities. Please bless Fr. Koo our Chaplin, Fr. Wang, Fr. Sio and all of the religious who have helped us over the years. Please bless all of their hard work. Please heal them and comfort them for all the hardship they have endured through your love. Please continue to call leaders, your servants to serve and lead this community, your church, your body to be a home, a warm and comfortable cradle for your people.

Dear Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that you bless our Youth. In your loving eyes, all of us are young and beautiful, please especially bless those who are young in age in our community. Through their hard work, dedication, and participation in the Watermark, Lighthouse, Cornerstone, and Tijuana missions and all the youth and young adult activities, you have blessed this community with a new generation which is missing from many other communities. Please continue to bless them, protect them, and keep them in your family. Please help them grow through their services, and use them as leaders and as a model for other communities to build your kingdom.

Dear Holy Spirit, we pray that you bless our 20/20 efforts, all of the contributors, and all of the participants from this entire community of your people. We have expressed so many dreams and wishes, and so much hope for our future. We know that each of these dreams is a prayer, and you will never overlook any of our prayers. Please increase our faith to long for what you have promised. Please give us a Spirit of wisdom and revelation to know You and enlighten our hearts to see your call. Please give us the courage to unite together and to do your will.

Dear loving Father, we pray that you bless all the people who help made this event possible, and all the participants. Please bless our food and drink to keep us healthy, as we share the food, please unite us together in your love.

We thank you and praise you, and may all glory be with you always.

We pray in the Names of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

End of SJCCC 20/20, Beginning of Community Action - Chinese

20/20 的結束 與 團體/團體 的開始

各位親愛的主內兄弟姊妹們，

大家都知道20/20的宗旨是在6/30以前協助團體達到目標的共識，並把結果和建議報告給同工會。謝謝大家一年來的支持與祈禱，20/20 已經圓滿的結束。在四月、五月份的同工會中，同工們已經接受20/20所有的建議：

第一，我們團體的宗旨：根據在十一月份團體大會中的意見，20/20建議一些修正，同工會接受了這項建議，華正朔及其他有心的教友們正在修改團體的宗旨。修改後草稿將會公佈讓團體評論。最後修正後的宗旨將讓團體表決。

第二，團體行動：三月二十五日我們把十一項目標，經過大家投票的結果，分類成四項主題。每一項主題都有一百人以上願意支持。在五月份同工會中，這四項主題都有教友願意做為召集人。他們的工作是聚集所有願意支持這項主題的教友，一起籌劃下一步的活動。

這些主題的籌畫是否能開始，是在乎於團體中是否有足夠的人願意實質的一起來推動。20/20 結束了，也就是團體/團體參與行動的開始。我們在此謝謝大家的支持，也呼籲大家務必參與下一步的行動。少數人的行動和熱忱可以帶動一群人的熱火。如果大家都站在旁邊觀看，沒有實質的行動，這些工作不可能開始。如果我們每一個人都能跟隨聖神的推動，我們必能一起完成天主對我們團體的期望。

這四位召集人是：

1. 教會是我們的家組：劉希平
2. 青年人是我們的未來組:：周隸薇
3. 信仰是我們的基礎組：黃鳳梧
4. 服務人群和宣揚福音是我們的使命組：劉可慶

我們希望各位都能夠選一項主題參與。我們需要很多的人力與心力，在他們邀請你們的時候，請您熱心的回應。如果我們每一個人都能好好的做我們的一小部分，我們對教會的夢想就能在我們團體的行動中實現。

20/20 同工

End of SJCCC 20/20, Beginning of Community Action

Today, at the Mass, I made the announcement that the SJCCC 20/20 project is officially over, and we now move into the Community Action Phase.

We have made several recommendations and the SJCCC Council has accepted and moved forward with these recommendations.

#1. The Mission of SJCCC is being updated by James Hua and team, the update will be rectified by the community.

#2. The 11 community goals have been grouped into 4 themes, and 4 groups of people have begun organizing the teams. I am thinking about using this blog to document the progress.

The 4 teams are:

1. The Church is our Home: Eddie is the lead
2. The Youth is our Future: Isabel is the lead
3. The Faith is our Foundation: Ana/Li-Peng are co-leading
4. The Service, Outreach, and Evangilization are our Passion: Ker-Ching is the lead

Today, we had the first group meeting for the Faith group. It was a very blessed meeting. 3 additional groups will be formed and followed up during the next 4-6 weeks:
1. Li-Peng, Ana, Chris will focus on item #6 - integrating Faith and life
2. Margarita and Joanne will focus on item #7 - liturgy and liturgy leaders
3. Ah Khong and John Khong will focus on item #8 - Sacred Heart School - CM and Chinese programs

My hope is that we will take these programs forward with these and other passionate servants of God. May God bless and lead us to do His will and to glorify His name!

PS, I plan to use this blog for more personal, ministry related blogs; and use blessed-family.org for more general, family, faith sharing blogs.
