Sunday, June 21, 2009 - Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's day to all of the dads out there. This is indeed a very special Father's Day for one young man. Our son, Sam, became a father last Monday. Little Madison, who was due June 28, decided that she wanted to be here to share Father's day with Sam and Kelli! At this moment I'm guessing that Sam and Kelli are getting little Maddie ready for her first trip to church. Exciting times!

Word of the Day
Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Aloysius Gonzaga
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 4:35-41.


On that day, as evening drew on, he said to them, "Let us cross to the other side." Leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Quiet! Be still!" The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, "Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?" They were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?"
