The
Body & Blood of Christ
Jesus said to his
disciples: "Why is it
that you are so frightened? How is
it that you have no faith?" Over
the past few years the Church has
been going through a fierce storm.
It has been a time of anxiety and
worry for many. It has also been a
time of deep hurt and anger for others.
And there seems to be no end to it.
The word of Jesus today is very timely
for us. Even though the storm is real
and we have to face the reality of
it with all its implications, we have
to remember that Christ is with us
and he will bring calm again. However,
this does not mean that we do nothing
but wait. We have a real responsibility
to work for that calm by the ways
we love one another in our homes and
in our community. This will take a
lot of generosity with our time and
our talents in building marriage and
family life to their fullest and it
will take a new commitment to building
the parish as a community of faith
and hope.

Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!
He's proud of your
triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
And each year that
passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!
Thank you, Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!
Happy
Father's Day!!
