“This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land...Of
its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come.” Mk 4:26, 28-29

From the Pastor’s Corner
11th Sunday in Ordinary Time
T
his is how it is with the kingdom of God." What is a kingdom? Is it
the brick and mortar that build up the castle? Is it the expanse of land
a king can reasonably defend? Our notions of kingdoms may be romanticized in the modern era,
but for the Israelites, a kingdom held deep historical meaning. Thousands of years before the birth
of Christ, the Israelites had asked God for a king. After the reigns of David and Solomon, the
united kingdom dissolved into factions, and the land was conquered by the Assyrians,
Babylonians, and, finally, Romans. For the Israelites, a kingdom was something to build, both
structurally and civilly. While this had ended in ruin for their ancestors, many of Jesus'
contemporaries longed for the restoration of an earthly kingdom.
Jesus' words in today's Gospel are a radical departure from this perspective. He compares the
Kingdom of God to a field, but it appears that the farmer has little to do with its progress. "The
seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord, the land yields fruit." Jesus
introduces his followers to a new sort of kingdom, a kingdom where God provides the growth.
There is work to be done, of course. "When the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for
the harvest has come." But for the Kingdom of God to flourish, there are certain things that are
outside of our control. We sow seeds of kindness, justice, and integrity and then we must be
patient. As shoots of faith appear, we nurture the growth with encouragement. As Christians, our
task is not to build the Kingdom of God under our power alone, but to trust in the life-giving
movement of God.

Men are rediscovering the importance of the spiritual life. And Father Larry
Richards is helping them do it. While some writers apply a one-size-fits-all
approach to the Christian life, Father Richards draws on his many years of
ministry and his own experience as a man to inspire other men as men. In Be a
Man!, he recounts his struggles to learn true manhood, as well as the inspiring
stories of others he has served in his decades as a priest.

años, las herramientas para inspirar a otros hombres.

The Reproductive Health Act, that will result in an
expansion of abortion to all nine months of pregnancy,
is being added as an amendment to other bills. This
bill has been defeated in the NYS Budget Bill and in a
Senate Health Committee vote, but the pro-abortion
forces are trying to still push it through.
Your help and prayers are needed!

In Memory of
William O’Farrell
Requested By
Tom & Lynda Faherty
Week of June 16—June 23
St. Stephen was one of the first ordained deacons of
the Church and also the First Christian Martyr. He
is the patron saint of deacons, headaches,
horses, coffin makers, and masons. He is often
represented carrying a pile of rocks or with
rocks on his head. His behavior, forgiving
those who were stoning him to death, was a
beautiful reflection of how obedient he truly
was to the Lord Jesus Christ and His teachings.
A Prayer for Fathers
God our Father,
we give you thanks and praise
for fathers young and old.
We pray for young fathers,
newly embracing their vocation;
May they find the courage and
perseverance to balance work,
family, and faith in joy and
sacrifice.
We pray for our own fathers
who have supported and challenged us;
May they continue to lead in strong and gentle ways.
We remember fathers around the world
whose children are lost or suffering;
May they know that the God of compassion
walks with them in their sorrow.
We pray for men who are not fathers
but still mentor and guide us
with fatherly love and advice
We remember fathers, grandfathers,
and great-grandfathers who are no longer with us
but who live forever in our memory
and nourish us with their love.
Amen

Thank you Knights of Columbus for all your hard

significant Memorial.
