We were first a citizen of heaven. It was only when we were born that we become a citizen of this world. So, we have a dual citizenship: citizen of heaven and a citizen of this world. We have a duty to follow in each aspect of our life. Our basis of following a duty is its morality. It means that the law or command is in accordance to the commandment of God or Divine law. So, we are obliged to obey it because it is our duty to God. *********************************** Prayer Request for the Sick Please pray for the following individuals, that they may be healed by the Grace of God: Imelda Sandate, Diane Galindo Salinas, Mary Diane Rios, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlie & Dora Carrasco, David H.
