Father's Day...a Celebration of Love

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

~~~ Job 38:1, 8-11 ~~~ Psalm 107 ~~~ 2 Corinthians 5:14-17 ~~~

~~~ Mark 4:35-41 ~~~

The love of Christ impels us...

Father's Day is a celebration of this love.
 It is this love of Christ that compels us to love not just our children,
but others who come across our path.
A strong desire to love has been instilled deep within our heart.

For some it may not be realized in its true
depth until they have a child.
The love a father has for his child explodes within his heart.
This love compels a father to have the strength
to lay down his life for his children.

...whoever is in Christ is a new creation...

Every time we see the sleeping Jesus in our boat
we must renew our faith.
Every time we renew our faith
the possibility of a new creation
can then become a reality.

Even though Jesus is asleep in the boat...
even though you may feel as if you are about to perish;
the sleeping Jesus is with you.

May the God who commands the wind and sea to be still
bless you to day and every day.

~~~ Peace ~~~

God Bless all Father's
and those who are father figures in our life.
