June 17 ~ Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time This parable about the mustard seed is a reminder to us about our role in the work of evangelization. The smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants. Many shy away from sharing their faith with others. But if each one of us can muster the courage to shares our faith with one person, who shares with one person, who shares It is this kind of evangelization that will build the Kingdom of God: stories of God working in our lives, of prayers asked for and answered, of feeling the presence of Jesus. Share the mustard seed of your faith and watch to see how it will grow!
JUNE 17, 2018 Bless Our Fathers Heavenly Father, Today we ask You to bless our earthly fathers for the many times they reflected the love, strength, generosity, wisdom and mercy that You exemplify in Your relationship with us, Your children. We honor our fathers for putting our needs above their own convenience and comfort; for teaching us to show courage and determination in the face of adversity; for challenging us to move beyond self-limiting boundaries; for modeling the qualities that would turn us into responsible, principled, caring adults. Not all our fathers lived up to these ideals. Give them the grace to acknowledge and learn from their mistakes. Give us the grace to extend to them the same forgiveness that you offer us all. Help us to resist the urge to stay stuck in past bitterness, instead, moving forward with humility and peace of heart. We ask your blessing on those men who served as father figures in our lives when our biological fathers weren't able to do so. May the love and selflessness they showed us be returned to them in all their relationships, and help them to know that their influence has changed us for the better. Give new and future fathers the guidance they need to raise happy and holy children, grounded in a love for God and other people - and remind these fathers that treating their wives with dignity, compassion and respect is one of the greatest gifts they can give their children. We pray that our fathers who have passed into the next life have been welcomed into Your loving embrace, and that our family will one be day be reunited in your heavenly kingdom. In union with St. Joseph, whom you entrusted with Your Son, we ask Your generous blessings today and every day. Amen. - Tony Rossi The Theological Institute for the New Evangelization and the Secretariat for Evangelization and Discipleship present 5 Things You Should Know on Wednesday, June 27 from 8:30AM-2:15PM at the Pastoral Center in Braintree.
