Padre Nuestro

Sor Mirna has a sign of this hanging in her office, and I fell in love.  So, I thought I would share... I'll try to do my best to translate as well:

No digas: PADRE
Si cada día no te comportas como hijo.
No digas: NUESTRO
Si vives aislado en tu egoísmo.
No digas: QUE ESTAS EN LOS CIELOS
Si solo piensas en las cosas terrenales.
No digas: SANTIFICADO SEA TU NOMBRE
Si no lo honras, ni lo alabas.
No digas: VENGA A NOSOTROS TU REINO
Si lo confundes con el éxito material.
No digas: HAGASE TU VOLUNTAD
Si no lo aceptas cuando es dolorosa.
No digas: DANOS HOY NUESTRO PAN DE CADA DÍA
Si no te preocupas por la gente que tiene hambre.
No digas: PERDONA NUESTRAS OFENSAS
Si guardas rencor a tu hermano.
No digas: NO NOS DEJES CAER EN LA TENTACION
Si tienes la intención de seguir pecando.
No digas: LIBRANOS DEL MAL
Si no tomas partido contra el mal.
No digas: AMEN
Si no has entendido o no has tomado en serio las palabras del padre nuestro.

Don’t say: FATHER
If you don’t behave like a son every day.
Don’t say: OUR
If you only live in your own selfishness.
Don’t say: WHO ART IN HEAVEN
If you only think about things of this earth.
Don’t say: HALLOWED BE THY NAME
If you neither honor nor praise Him.
Don’t say: THY KINGDOM COME
If you confuse it with material possessions.
Don’t say: THY WILL BE DONE
If you don’t accept that there will be painful times.
Don’t say: GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD
If you aren’t concerned about people who are hungry.
Don’t say: FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES
If you are angry with your brother.
Don’t say: LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION
If you intend to continue sinning.
Don’t say: DELIVER US FROM EVIL
If you don’t fight evil.
Don’t say: AMEN
If you don’t truly understand or take seriously the words of the Lord’s Prayer.

P.S.  It has been cold and rainy the past two days... I don't want snow anymore (I want snow... but not the cold that goes with it, so I guess I can do without the snow).  This morning I saw the blue sky through the clouds, which means that it will be sunny and therefore warm.  MADE MY DAY!!!!
