Our guiding Scripture will be from Philippians 4:4-9 (NRSVUE):
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, siblings, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. As for the things that you have learned and received and heard and noticed in me, do them, and the God of peace will be with you."
In Spanish: Alégrese en el Señor: Habite en alegría.
Filipenses 4:4-9 -- Nueva Versión Internacional (NVI)
Alégrense siempre en el Señor. Insisto: ¡Alégrense! Que su amabilidad sea evidente a todos. El Señor está cerca. No se preocupen por nada; más bien, en toda ocasión, con oración y ruego, presenten sus peticiones a Dios y denle gracias. Y la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, cuidará sus corazones y sus pensamientos en Cristo Jesús. Por último, hermanos, consideren bien todo lo verdadero, todo lo respetable, todo lo justo, todo lo puro, todo lo amable, todo lo digno de admiración, en fin, todo lo que sea excelente o merezca elogio. Pongan en práctica lo que de mí han aprendido, recibido y oído, además de lo que han visto en mí y el Dios de paz estará con ustedes.
