Vous êtes bénie

priez pour nous,
pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant et à l’heure
de notre mort.
Amen.
AVE, O MARIA,
piena di grazia,
il Signore è con te.
Tu sei benedetta fra le donne,

prega per noi peccatori,

e nell’ora della nostra morte.
Amen.

LA BÉATIFICATION DE
JEAN-PAUL II:
Dimanche, premier
mai, sur la façade de
la place Saint-Pierre, un million de
pèlerins ont assisté à Rome pour la
cérémonie autour de Jean-Paul II.
À la fin de la messe, le Pape, puis les
cardinaux, les chefs d'État et autres
têtes couronnées, les chefs de
gouvernement (87 pays représentés)
se sont recueillis devant le cercueil.
La relique d’un flacon de sang de
Jean-Paul II insérée dans un
reliquaire en forme de rameau
d'olivier a marqué le rite de
béatification. Elle a été portée par
sœur Tobiana, la fidèle religieuse
polonaise qui a été à son service, et
sœur Marie-Simon-Pierre, la
religieuse française que l'Église a
reconnue miraculée par
l'intercession de Jean-Paul II et qui a
décidé de la béatification. La fête du
bienheureux Jean-Paul II sera
célébrée tous les ans, le 22 octobre.

CHE SPETTACOLO!
DI JESSE BARRESI
IL
19 APRILE, IL GRUPPO
CANADESE RUSH (Geddy
Lee, Neil Peart, Alex Lifeson) ha
dato un concerto al Copps
Colosseum, in Hamilton – ed io
ho assistito al loro
spettacolo!
►Il trio ha tanto talento, e
ha avuto un enorme
successo negli ultimi 30
anni: ha venduto quaranta
milioni di dischi con delle
canzoni come Tom Sawyer, Limelight e Spirit of the Radio.
►Al concerto, c’erano anche molte persone di 40 e di 50 anni! I membri
di Rush hanno suonato con tanta passione! Tutte le persone sono state in
piedi con molta energia et gioia.
►Lee, Peart e Lifeson non sono solo un gruppo, ma una grande storia
per tutte le persone che amano la musica rock!

►F. APRIL 15: Sincere thanks to Mr. Tom Sagar, retired
French language teacher and ISE Ontario representative

programs available to students in Québec and Europe,
and of the wonder of embracing the life adventures that
come from stepping out of one’s comfort zone.
