Charla en la mesa a la hora de los alimentos para familias

“Íntimamente unidos, frecuentaban a diario el Templo, partían el pan en sus casas, y comían juntos con alegría y sencillez de corazón; ellos alababan a Dios y eran queridos por todo el pueblo. Y cada día, el Señor acrecentaba la comunidad con aquellos que debían salvarse.” –Hechos de los Apóstoles 2: 46-47a
