TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The liturgy seems reluctant to return to Ordinary Time from the joys of Easter, and so the festivities extend to today s celebration of the mystery of God s relationship to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Gospel today centers the question of our relationship with God in the struggle of Nathaniel to believe that it is possible to experience rebirth in the Spirit. The answer of Jesus is that God s response to the messes of this world is the mystery of saving love in Jesus Christ and the outpouring of an empowering Spirit. Western church architecture often tops a church building with a spire, indicating humanity s reach to a transcendent God. The Eastern Church responds with onion-shaped domes, indicating the Spirit s being poured down upon humanity precisely at this locale, the gathering of the faithful for the Divine Liturgy. This familiar design encodes a great mystery: here, at the Lord s table, we experience the outpouring of the Spirit for the life of the world. Nathaniel came to Jesus by night, since he was still working out the meaning of his life. A life attuned to the inner life of the Trinity must always be given to the light of day. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. A Father s Day Prayer Dear Lord, Thank you for all fathers. Inspire them to raise their children with love and care. Bless all fathers and instill in them the kindness, compassion, patience and strength to always be there for their children. Amen.

2 SHEPHERD S VOICE God So Loved the World That He Gave His Only Son Let our readings for this Solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity provide us with a clear understanding of this Tremendous Mystery of the Most Blessed Trinity: One God three Persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit. From our First Reading - Moses encounter with God at Mount Sinai tells us of the name of God Lord who is best known by his actions in the world: actions of mercy, justice, grace, kindness, and fidelity (Exodus 34: 6-7). In the presence of such a God, Moses immediate response was worship he prostrates himself on the ground in profound adoration. This God is not totally beyond reach or inaccessible because Moses asked him to come along in our company (Exodus 34:9). In this appearance, God reveals those divine traits that are associated with the covenant, namely: mercy, steadfast love, and fidelity. From our Second Reading - In the conclusion of St. Paul s letter to the Corinthians the Trinitarian blessing was invoked: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you (2Cor 13:13). In this Trinitarian blessing, St. Paul stresses the gift of grace that is received through Jesus Christ, the love that God has for all of creation, a love that is the source of all good things, and the community of the Holy Spirit within which believers are rooted. St. Paul promises that if the Corinthian Christians follow his admonitions and live in the way he instructs them, they will experience the presence of God. In the Gospel, we have the most widely quoted passage from John: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life (John 3:16). Here, the extent of God s love is drawn in bold lines in two significant ways: one - is the scope of divine love, and two is the price that God is willing to pay because of that love. God s love is for the entire world. God s love for the world is so deep and so magnanimous that, for the world to be saved, nothing is spared, not even God s only Son. Those who believe in that Son are saved, those who do not believe in him call down judgment upon themselves. The saving mission of Jesus Christ, who is God s love made visible is expressed. While there is no mention of the Holy Spirit, in this passage, the total unity of Father and Son is clear, to know the Son is to know the Father, to believe in the Son is to believe in the Father. The same loving God who spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, slow to anger and rich in kindness (Exodus 34:6), is the God who sends his Son not to condemn but to save. As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity, may we experience God as Father who made everything, as Son who gave everything, and as Spirit who reminds us of this love-giving God? Let this be our prayer: Thank you, heavenly Father, beloved Jesus and gracious Holy Spirit, for your amazing love. How incredible that you would give so much just for us. We praise you for revealing yourself to us and for filling us with your grace. Lord, we praise and glorify you! Amen. God Bless, Fr. Roni Villamor A FATHER S CROSS S H N S A! D I T O A! B 7:45 K.C.

The Gift of Fatherhood: The real joy of being a father lies more in giving than receiving. by Archbishop William E. Lori As Father s Day approaches, fathers might be asking themselves what kind of gift they would like to receive. The answers will vary: a new set of golf clubs, home tickets to see a favorite sports team, or a new grill on which to burn hamburgers to a crisp. Or maybe it s time for another new necktie. Hardly. There are a lot of things that dad might want on Father s Day, but the question of what gift to get is all wrong. As June 15 draws near, fathers should be thinking not about what gifts they want to receive, but rather about the gifts they should be giving. After all, Father s Day is a time for taking stock of one s fatherhood. GIVING FROM THE HEART What is it that fathers give to their families? It used to be that the father was the sole breadwinner. That is still the case in some households, but in many, both husband and wife work outside the home. Fathers should share with their wives a keen sense of responsibility to ensure that their family has the basic necessities of life. Of course, that s just the beginning. It is not enough to provide a decent standard of living for one s family. Rather, a husband shares with his wife the responsibility of providing a secure, loving home for their children. It is important for children to know that they are loved. When a father and mother love and respect each other, even in those inevitable times of tension and hardship, children tend to feel more secure. When dad and mom love each other, their children are more apt to believe that mom and dad love them. One thing a father might ask himself about on Father s Day is the quality of his loving partnership with his wife. What might he do to strengthen that fundamental relationship of love? What gets in the way of loving his wife and family? Are there serious problems that urgently need to be addressed? Or is it simply a question of accumulated foibles that irritate the daylights out of one s family? Addressing these things honestly is one of the greatest gifts a father can give his family. What else can fathers give their families on Father s Day? I suggest a strengthened resolve to show a deeper interest in what is important to their wives and children. That means putting down the paper, shutting off the television, and turning off the smart phone, computer and other electronic devices. Only in this way can a husband and father really interact with his family and show them that he is deeply and personally interested in the ups and downs of family life with what goes on at his children s school, with the challenges and opportunities his wife is experiencing at work, with the questions his adolescent child may have. The list of fatherly responsibilities is endless. And that s just the point. Being a father does not fit into a job description. Rather, the joy of being a father can simply be summed up by a loving smile toward his child. FATHERS OF FAITH AND JOY A father s involvement in the life of his family is essential, but it has to be the right kind of involvement. A boy is not helped when his dad is always yelling at the Little League coach or telling off a teacher who is doing his or her best. A father has to be involved in all the activities of his family so as to bear witness to what is truly good in God s eyes. A father should always be ready to help his children find the way to achieve what is authentically good in every situation and help them grow in virtue amid the practicalities and stresses of daily life. He should also lead the way in helping them go beyond their personal desires by extending themselves in charity to those in need. Still more is called for. Fathers play a crucial role in helping their children become men and women of faith. When dad goes to Mass every Sunday, leads the family in prayer before meals, and spends time each day praying and reading the Scriptures, he not only provides a good example, but also equips himself to be a better spouse and father. Prayer has consequences. All of them are good. Venerable Michael McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus to help husbands and fathers provide for their families in the event of death. But he also wanted to help husbands and fathers grow in their relationship with Christ and the Church so that they could be good husbands and loving fathers. He recognized the need for an organization that would support men in taking their faith seriously and living it each day. Today, the Knights of Columbus continues this mission. So, what happens when husbands and fathers approach Father s Day with the question, What should I be giving to my family? The Prayer of St. Francis tells us that it is in giving that we receive. In giving of themselves in love, husbands and fathers discover what gifts really matter. Yes, it might be nice to receive some extravagant gift, but truly valuable gifts don t cost much money. I m thinking of the joy of going to Sunday Mass with one s family, of sitting down to a meal where everyone actually talks to each other, of receiving a card from a young child or grandchild drawn with crayons, or the promise of prayers from loved ones. Experiences like these reveal the true joys of fatherhood!
