Psalmus XXXIV

Júdica Dómine nocéntes me; expúgna impugnántes me. Confundántur et revereántur quaeréntes ánimam meam. Avertántur retrórsum et confundántur, cogitántes míhi mála. Fíant táamquam púlvis ante fáciem vénti: et Ángelus Dómini coárctans eos. Fiat via illórum ténebrae, et lúbricum: et Ángelus Dómini pérsequens eos. Quóniam grátis abscondérunt míhi intéritum láquei sui: supervácue exprobravérunt ánimam meam. Véniat illi láqueus quem ignórat; et cáptio quam abscóndit, aprehéndat eum: et in láqueum cádat in ipsum. Ánima áutem mea exsultábit in Dómino: et delectábitur super salutári suo. Glória Pátri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. Sícut érat in princípio et nunc et semper, et in saécula saéculórum. Amen.

Psalm 34

Judge Thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me. Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise evil against me. Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the Angel of the Lord straighten them. Let their way become dark and slippery: and let the Angel of the Lord pursue them. For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul. Let the snare which he knoweth not, come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden, catch him: and into that very snare let him fall. But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall be delighted in His salvation . Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.

When I first started my blog I wrote about doing a backpack fundraiser at my school for the kids of Bognotte of Haiti.  I had an original date but pushed it back because of the state test.  I rescheduled the deadline for the backpacks for June 7th (which is today).  Yesterday we had a professional day (meaning no students, just teachers) and when I walked into my room there were several boxes of backpacks in my classroom. I was in shock and speechless!  I quickly ran around to find out who was the amazing gift giver.  I found the custodian and asked him.  He humorously said "people." "Which people?"  He finally told me that it was Nilsa our secretary and Ms. Gonzalez, our principal.  I quickly ran around the building looking for them both.  I finally found my principal and gave her a hug and was choked up.  I  told her how thankful I was.  I found Nilsa and hugged her as well, and told her how grateful I was for her generosity.  Then, I went back to my room to count all of my backpacks like a kid on Christmas Day.  I counted over 60+ backpack and endless amount of supplies.  GOD is good! He always takes care of the needy through amazing people with selfless heart.  I feel blessed, and I know the children of Bognotte will feel so much more.  Thank you 34 Community! Thank you Nilsa Nater and Rosemarie Gonzalez! GOD will bless you all!
