12th Sunday of Ordinary Time / Father's Day





June 21, 2015
12th Sunday of Ordinary Time
      (Father’s Day)

As I reflect on today’s Gospel and on the secular celebration of Father’s Day, I pause and think about my Dad.  Growing up, he was my hero.  He was the one that I knew would protect me and our family from any harm, no matter what.   As I read today’s Gospel from Mark, I can’t help but draw a resemblance.  Throughout our lives we call on our Heavenly Father to protect us, to guide us, to be there for us no matter what.  Even in the midst of the storm, Christ was there to calm the waters in the life of His disciples.  He continues to be there for each of us today as he calms the waters of our life.
