5 SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST EPISTLE READING ROMANS 2:10-16 But there will be glory, honor, and peace, to every man that work good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.) In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST GOSPEL READING MATTHEW 4:18-23 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from there, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

6 Ten Basic Tips for Family Communication "You never ever understand me" and "there's no use trying to talk with you" are the most familiar expressions heard by parents. Usually, there is some truth to it because parents are adults of one generation, and the children of another... and because our fast-paced society simply doesn't foster parent/child communication. When there's no communication or attention at home, some children will take up with the "wrong crowd," act up at school, wind up experimenting with drugs, or run away from home. Parents, in turn, ask: "why didn't they come to us about it?" We have to ask ourselves, as parents, "Do we create the climate for communication in our home?" From the "College of Hard Knocks" experience - here are 10 basic tips: Take time out to listen and discuss - Don't be too busy to listen to what your child has to say. What may be minor or inconsequential to you could be vitally important right now to your child. When your boy or girl is enthusiastic about something, share it, talk about it. Build up, don't undermine his or her enthusiasm, creativity and curiosity. Show you're interested. Also let them know that interest and discussion is a "two-way" street. Don't always disapprove; avoid sarcasm - If a child finds out that what he or she says, or does, or likes is going to be "put down," soon he'll not communicate at all. After all, who wants to feel inferior every time he says something? A young person wants to be accepted, not rejected. Keep your promises - Try your best not to make promises you doubt you can really keep. Want to lose your child's (or anyone's) respect fast? Say you'll do something, and then for your own convenience or less-than-important reason, fail to come through after the other person has built up his or her hopes. This is a really serious "let-down" and the other person, child or adult, begins to lose faith in you. It's extremely important that your child respect you and see you as trustworthy. Disagreeing, questioning is healthy - Allow your child to disagree with you on a subject. Don't be afraid or ashamed to admit that you don't have all the answers 'to everything. As children enter their teen years, they begin to explore other value systems; they question "pat" answers and they usually try testing them first on their parents. No matter how distasteful it may seem to you, let them express the way they feel. Emphasize mutual respect, tone of voice, and they'll feel they can come back to you "in a crunch." Don't be quick to reject your child's friends or associations - Seldom are youthful peers - or their ways - totally acceptable to the parents or other adults. Again, youth are searching, exploring, learning. Requiring certain "basic," standards, yet accepting their differences with adult culture, will usually assure that your child will, a) have some genuine and normal peer associations and yet, b) listen to you when you're really forced to object to aberrant behavior and activities on the part of your children and/or their associates. Don't be afraid to say "NO" - Your child expects standards and guidance, both positively and negatively. He needs to know "the limits" that society realistically will set for him. But choose carefully the times when "no" is the answer; bend and balance "the rule" to meet your child's legitimate human needs and expectations. Show children that adults can be human, consistent, understanding, and reasonable in the "yes" and the "no" of life. Build up self-esteem - Regularly compliment, praise, hug, show affection for both your children and your spouse. This will reinforce both your child's sense of belonging and self-esteem, and your "role model." A good self-image, knowing that he or she is "someone of value" allows the child to feel good about himself and stand on his own two feet. When the child feels that way, he or she can - on their own - say "no," when necessary, to peer pressure. Don't "preach at" or "nag" your child - The surest way to stifle parent-child communication and the learning of solid life-values is to preach at, nag or constantly moralize over our child's behavior. Don't hesitate - at appropriate times - to share

7 religious, moral and ethical values. But it isn't necessary or helpful to pontificate every time they do something you disapprove of. Take time out to play together - Family activities, sharing in the child's interests and play are very important. Always being preoccupied or too busy "formalizes" the parentchild relationship and makes family life "no fun at all." Pray Together - Have a "family altar" in the home. Ask God's blessing at meal-time, work, studies and activities. Encourage your children; show the way, as parents, in praying. Receive the Lord's Sacraments together frequently.
