My dear Parishioners, Happy Fathers’ Day! I wish all the men who have cared for children and have made big sacrifices to raise them to be good and loving, many blessings. May all of us, their children, offer them our profound respect and our sincere love.
This week is a significant time for me. On June 19th, I will be a year older and hopefully a little wiser too. I am awed by the graciousness of God for the gift of life itself. I am also grateful to God for allowing me to serve Him and His people with joy and willingness for 38 years as priest this coming June 21st. Those are indeed blessings from the Lord that I am humbled to receive.
Summer is almost here and we are back in Ordinary Time of the year, so doing a little review of how we do certain Christian practices to keep us connected with the Lord is appropriate. There is a nice reflection about the Treatise on the Lord’s Prayer by Saint Cyprian, bishop and martyr, that I found helpful to inspire us in our manner of praying.
When we pray, our words should be calm, modest and disciplined. Let us imagine that we are standing before God. We should please him both by our bodily posture and the manner of our speech. It is characteristic of the proud to shout and make a noise, not those who are modest. On the contrary, they should employ a quiet tone in their prayer.
Moreover, in the course of Jesus’ teaching, the Lord instructed us to pray in secret. Hidden and secluded places, even our own rooms, give witness to our belief that God is present everywhere; that He sees and hears all; that in the fullness of His majesty, He penetrates hidden and secret places.
The same modesty and discipline should characterize our liturgical prayer as well. When we gather to celebrate the Mass with God’s priest, we should not express our prayer in unruly words; the petition that should be made to God with moderation is not to be shouted out noisily or uttered with too many words. For God hears our heart not our voice. He sees our thoughts; He is not to be shouted at.
In the First Book of Kings we are told that Anna prayed quietly and modestly to God in the recesses of her heart. Her prayer was secret but her faith was evident. She did not pray with her voice, but with her heart, for she knew that in this way the Lord would hear her. She prayed with faith and obtained what she sought.
Anyone who worships should remember the way in which the tax-collector prayed in the temple alongside the Pharisee. He did not raise his eyes immodestly to heaven or lift up his hands arrogantly. Instead he struck his breast and confessing the sins hidden within his heart he implored the assistance of God’s mercy. While the Pharisee was pleased with himself, the tax-collector deserved to be cleansed much more because of the manner in which he prayed. For he did not place his hope of salvation in the certainty of his own innocence; indeed, no one is innocent. Rather he prayed humbly, confessing his sins. And the Lord who forgives the lowly heard his prayer. Let us recall that God does not delight in how much we pray, but delights in our purity of heart and sorrow for sin.
Have an enjoyable summer! Pray that God will always keep you and your family safe in all your travels. Peace, Fr. Riz

A Prayer for Christian Fathers
Heavenly Father,
you entrusted your Son Jesus,
the child of Mary,
to the care of Joseph, an earthly father.
Bless all fathers
as they care for their families.
Give them strength and wisdom,
tenderness and pa!ence;
support them in the work they have to do,
protec!ng those who look to them,
as we look to you for love and salva!on,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Jesus compares the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed, the tiniest of seeds. When planted, the tiny mustard seed
grows into a tremendous tree with large branches. So, too, in each of our lives, small things can have profound effects. God can use one of our more
insignificant gestures to radically change another person's life. It may be the kindness of a smile, our willingness
to accommodate someone, listening to someone's story, helping someone who is hurting, standing up for
someone who is right, or complimenting someone on something they did. We all have God-given gifts
and talents. Our task is to use them creatively, consistently, lovingly, and generously. We trust that
God will take care of the rest.

On Saturday, June 30th at 11am, our special Mass and Anointing of the Sick will be held for seniors
and those in poor health. The Anointing of the Sick “is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point
of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age,
the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived.” If a sick person who received this anointing recovers his health, he can in the case of
another grave illness receive this sacrament again. If during the same illness the person’s condition
becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious operation. The same holds for the elderly
whose frailty becomes more pronounced.

As parents/caregivers, we teach children to say “please” and “thank you,” to play nicely, and to respect other adults. It is also key to stress the
importance of safety, and let children know that it is okay to be impolite if they feel threatened or
scared. Children should know that it’s okay to say “NO” if someone is asking them to do something
they don’t feel comfortable doing, and that setting boundaries by saying things like -- “Don’t touch me there,” or “I don’t like that” -- are not rude, but in
fact necessary for their safety. For a copy of the complete VIRTUS® article “Exceptions for Children
on Society’s Rules about Being ‘Polite’” visit http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.
Como padres de familia y cuidadores de niños, nosotros les enseñamos a los niños a decir “por favor” y “gracias”, a jugar con amabilidad, y a
respetar a los adultos. También es muy importante recalcar la importancia de la seguridad, y dejar que los niños sepan que está bien ser descortés si ellos se
sientes amenazados o temerosos. Los niños deben saber que está bien decir “NO” si alguien les está pidiendo hacer algo con lo cual ellos no se sienten
cómodos, y que poner fronteras diciendo cosas como, “No me toque allí”, o “Eso no me gusta”, no
es malcriadeza, sino que es necesario para la seguridad del niño. Para una copia del artículo
