“Be What You are and Be at its Best.” S.F.S
Dear Friends, After being married for 25 years and intending to make their silver anniversary a memorable one, the wife asked her husband to describe her, after being married for 25 years. He looked at her slowly, and said – You’re A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, … and I, J, K. The wife was puzzled and so she asked, “Now what does that mean”? So, he said – Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous, Hot. The wife smiled and beamed and said – Oh you are such a sweet darling. What about I, J, K? He said – I’m Just Kidding! Hope that the wife won’t ask for any more descriptions when it comes to their golden anniversary. Today is also Father’s Day, and we thank God for our fathers and the love they give to us. Myself being a spiritual father to this spiritual family, I can say that I understand what a father feels for his family. Fathers want to protect and provide for their family. They may not show that kind of tender love, which is associated with mothers, but fathers give that assuring presence of love. I guess that as fathers, we are not so emotionally expressive. But I can certainly say that the presence of the father in the home brings about a sense of love and security. So, fathers may not be Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous, and Hot. But for them, we can say it’s I, J, K, and it’s not I’m Just Kidding. But I, J, K as in I Just Know. Know what? I Just Know that my father loves me. Yes, we just know that our fathers love us. We call God our Father. We also know that God our Father loves us. We also know that God will empower all fathers to be living reflections of His love for us. For all the fathers of our Parishes, we give thanks to God. We also want to proclaim that God is Our Father, and that God loves us eternally. Prayer for the Fathers: God our Father , in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless, all Fathers, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grand that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. “God our father, we also give you thanks and praise for fathers young and old. We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation; may they find courage and perseverance to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice. We pray for our own 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”
“Happy Father’s Day” & “Be Blessed and Be a Blessing” Yours lovingly in Christ & Mary,
Fr. R. Mathias MSFS

Francis with the funds he needs to carry out his charitable works around the world. The proceeds benefit our brothers and sisters on the margins of society, including victims of war, oppression, and natural disasters. Please be generous. For more information, visit www.usccb.org/peters-pence
Update from Right to Life and a prayer request
The Heartbeat Petition Drive received only half the required
signatures and has a very slim chance of succeeding.
However, the Dismemberment Abortion Ban received 116% of
the required signatures. Planned Parenthood is contesting a
small but significant number of those signatures.
The Right to Life committee requests prayers for those
signatures to be approved as valid.
