THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST 2017Christ waits for us. Christ waits for us as we work, as we play, and as we sleep. He is ever there, patient and at the ready. There is never a time in our lives that Christ is not present for us to turn to even in our darkest of times. The Lord is faithful, true to His promises, and persistent in His search for His prodigal people. We have but to turn to Him even in our sinfulness and He will be there for us.
The presence of Christ in our lives never takes a more meaningful form than that of His Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity that we receive in the Holy Eucharist.

PASTOR’S MESSAGE
For many of us, a model of a good or great father comes easily to mind. We see the face, remember the touch and hear the voice of our own father. It is true that we learn the meaning of “fatherly strength, fatherly virtue, fatherly love” from experience and our own reflection upon it. Whatever size, shape, color or heritage our father’s had, they modeled certain characteristics that have a universal relevance and wisdom. Among the virtues that come to mind for me are dependability and duty, patience and availability, life experience and optimism, truthfulness and simplicity.
In the spirituality of our church, there are not many men, with the exception of Saint Joseph, who have been reverenced specifically because they were good fathers. For them, the way of holiness was the way of fatherhood. To put it another way, they fathered their way into heaven. One of these fathers who have always meant a lot to me was Louis Martin, the father of Saint Therese of Lisieux. He was a watchmaker, father of a large family and a loving husband to his wife Zelie. Biographers describe him as patient, hardworking and devout. It is not; however, these virtues that mean so much to me as the trust that he had in God’s providence and the freedom that he gave his children to follow their dreams. In the case of Therese, it was freedom to follow her visions.
Louis listened to his youngest daughter when at fourteen she felt called to live a cloistered life as a Carmelite nun. He was not crazy about the idea but realized that there was something going on that was special and unique in Therese’s passion and zeal for the conversion of sinners and for the missions. He took her to see Pope Leo XIII who told them “If it is God’s will, you will enter”. She entered the next year at age fifteen.
Her “Little Way” of holiness, of doing even the most humble things with extraordinary love and attentiveness to God’s will became a spiritual way for millions. Her favorite quote from Saint John of the Cross, “Love is repaid by love alone”, is the perfect summary of her life and teaching. It was undoubtedly her father’s love but also his trust in God and his respect for freedom that set Therese free and allowed the “Little Flower” to flourish. Louis’s virtue and that of his wife Zelie were recognized when they were both canonized as saints. They are both extraordinary models of nurturing parents and are an inspiration for us during this time of Mothers and Fathers Days.

If it were right and fi tting to pay tribute to all Mothers, equally it is right and fi tting to pay tribute to all Fathers. And we should do this not just on their assigned feast days but preferably as long as they live as a sign of our love and gratitude for all they have done in our lives. “When Israel was a child, I loved him... I taught Ephraim to walk... It was I who healed them. I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love... and I bent down to feed them.” HOSEA 11:1-4
According to common practices, it is still the necktie that is the top priority gift followed by wrist watches, wallets, electronic devices, and sports-related items. Yes, no doubt, these gifts are truly fi ne and appreciable but there is still a better gift: A NOVENA OF MASSES thus ensuring them of eternal riches where no moth could destroy nor thieves could steal. Your generous offering of a special remembrance in prayer and Holy Mass on the occasion of Father’s Day will serve to show our appreciation and support to our Dads. Please pick up an envelope at the church credenzas, fi ll them in and place in the collection basket or bring them into the Parish Offi ce.

POPE FRANCIS’ PRAYER INTENTIONS
FOR THE MONTH OF MAYNational Leaders.
That national leaders may firmly commit themselves to ending the arms trade, which victimizes so
many innocent people.
HOME CONNECTION:As we celebrate Fathers’ Day, by honoring our fathers, grandfathers, and father figures important to us, we cannot forget Saint Joseph, husband of Mary, guardian of Jesus, and patron saint of the universal Church.
Fathers can look to Saint Joseph as an example and inspiration of husband and father. Pope Leo XIII wrote a beautiful Encyclical on devotion to St. Joseph in which he included a prayer to be recited after the Rosary.
We can show our love to our fathers with gifts and cookouts. But there is one very beautiful way to show our love, and that is by praying for our fathers, grandfathers and father figures. Pray that St. Joseph will protect them and guide them, so that, as the prayer says “following thine example and strengthened by thy help, we may live a holy life, die a happy death, and attain to everlasting bliss in Heaven.”
