How often do we need to be “revived,” especially during these days of the pandemic, violence and unrest, near and far? I can’t make the point more often: the Church may be the last hope for saving humanity. So, remember that worrying doesn’t take away tomorrow’s troubles; it takes away today’s peace – because “Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the Present.”

Happy Independence Day Weekend – even if our “independence” is still somewhat limited during the Pandemic! So what makes America great? America has greatness in her freedoms and liberties, but also in our ability to respect the rights of others, even if they disagree with us. Today, however, it seems like we demonize those different from us and are less civil with others who disagree. When our forefathers came to this country and founded our system of government, they were convinced that there was a “Higher Power” who was involved in the destinies of all people &
I like the story of an unusual account of how the news of the 1815 Battle of Waterloo reached England. The report from the battle ground, back in those days, was sent first by a sailing ship to the Southern coast and then by signal flags to London. When the report was received at Winchester, the flags on the cathedral began to spell out the message, “Wellington defeated.” However, before the message could be completed, a heavy fog rolled in and with that heavy fog the gloom of the nation filled the hearts of the people. Then, when the midst began to lift, it became evident that the signals of the Winchester Cathedral had really spelled out this triumphant message: “Wellington defeated the enemy!”
Too often we allow the future to be colored by what we understand at the moment and it keeps us from moving forward. When we trust God in the midst of transition and conflict; we can let go of the panic and release ourselves into His hands, and then we will come out of the clouds and into the glorious victory of the risen Lord.

Happy Independence Day Weekend – even if our “independence” is still somewhat limited during the Pandemic! So what makes America great? America has greatness in her freedoms and liberties, but also in our ability to respect the rights of others, even if they disagree with us. Today, however, it seems like we demonize those different from us and are less civil with others who disagree. When our forefathers came to this country and founded our system of government, they were convinced that there was a “Higher Power” who was involved in the destinies of all people & nations. They believed that all were endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights – life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There was a moral fiber, a moral strength in our nation, but today it seems that our society is so caught up in greed and materialism that we’re only interested in ourselves.
When people lose trust in God, they put their trust in anything; looking for pragmatic political solutions to problems that politics cannot solve. In the modern world many political struggles are, in reality, spiritual struggles. If we put our trust solely in education, we’ll get what education can give us. If we put our trust in money, we’ll get what money can give us. If we put our trust in government we’ll get what government can give us. But if we put our trust in God, we’ll have everything we need, for all eternity. Aim for earth and you’ll likely get it, aim for heaven and you’ll get earth thrown in!
Laws themselves don’t make a country great either. We have over thirty million laws, at all levels, to enforce the Ten Commandments; summarized by Jesus who said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Yet people still break the laws. St. Paul wrote, “That which I want to do I can’t, and what I don’t want to do, I do anyway.” That’s not a declaration of defeat; he’s not saying he’s giving up the fight! Neither was Paul suggesting that we abolish laws altogether. Sure, it’s easier for a Jew to give up pork or work on the Sabbath day than forgive enemies & pray for persecutors. But we’re all still under the MORAL law. At the same time, we need to be responsible. What did Adam and Eve do when they gave into temptation? They blamed someone else! Is anyone accountable anymore? Temptation often comes when we are ungrateful. Eve could have had everything except the fruit of one tree. Many of us dwell on the few things we don’t have and forfeit many things we do have. So, count your blessings! What makes our nation great? It’s people who exemplify Jesus’ life of service and love; proclaiming the Good News in word and deed. And remember: “You may be the only Gospel your neighbor ever reads.”

Many of our readers will be driving more than usual this summer, despite the record setting price of fuel. We can tell a lot about someone by observing their driving habits. No one likes it when another driver cuts them off, risking life and limb, or when they crawl along at the pace of a funeral procession. No doubt you’ve seen too many demented drivers who cut across three lanes of traffic on the highway to head directly toward the exit ramp. Our vehicles are sources of independence, but also financial liability. No surprise that many folks take better care of their cars or trucks than they do themselves. Occasionally, I receive a Customer Opinion Survey asking me questions about my car and its service. What if we sent the same sort of questionnaire to folks in the parish? “How would you evaluate your recent visit to our church?” “How would you evaluate your journey with the Lord?” “Have you been contacted by your church after joining?” “Would you like your priest to contact you with any problems or concerns?”
So how do we recognize Christ in the other driver? Drivers should see themselves not as the most important person on the road, but as one fish in a school on life’s highway. There is a parallel in locking oneself in the car to being back in the womb, where there is a misconception of invincibility. One can close themselves up, turn on some music, and forget about the whole world outside. Everyone else is a hindrance to our reaching our destination faster than the next person. So, we’re all in this together -by ourselves! God is more interested in how we treat one another than how many seconds it takes our vehicle to get from 0 to 60 mph. A prayer card I picked up years ago read, “At 45 miles per hour, sing: “Highways are happy ways. At 55 sing: I’m but a stranger here, heaven is my home. At 65 sing: Nearer my God to Thee. At 75: when the role is called up yonder I’ll be there, and at 85 sing: Lord I’m coming home.”
Cars can make us less than human, serve as a mask, or a suit of armor. Instead of becoming brothers and sisters on the highway of life, we can become competitors in a destructive race to moral or physical annihilation. So, do we drive like the devil or drive like a Christian?

Happy Father’s Day! One of the most popular parables in the New Testament is, of course, the story of the prodigal son, which illustrates what God is like when His children stray. The father in the story gives his younger son what he asked for, handing over his share of what would one day be his inheritance, and then going off to squander all the money. Dads want to give their kids the things they need and want. They want their children to be happy and independent. Fathers will let them make mistakes and hope they will learn from them, and at the same time love them through their pain and suffering.
Like the father who is looking down the road, longing for the son to come home, God waits for us when we follow the wrong course, make the wrong choices in life, and is always happy to see us and accept us back as His children. God wants His children to know that they can come home anytime they sin, no matter how bad, and trust in His redeeming love.
So having said that, here are some examples of how we view our fathers as we age:
God our Father, we give You thanks for our fathers, living and departed. Give them wisdom, patience, and courage to bring their children up to know You, love You, and to serve You, all their days and years. Amen.

A church bulletin once announced: “The title of the sermon this morning is: “Jesus walks on the water.” The sermon tonight: “Searching for Jesus.” It’s the rainy season as we all know, and even though we may not be able to walk on water, hopefully, we’ve learned how to swim. Many will recall the massive rainfall and flooding back in August, 2012. Images from that flood may still haunt our memories, but recall how God protected Noah from the floods, and pray that God will protect us too during these next few months. The Christian hope is that God will not leave us behind. So what lessons can we learn from Noah?
Don’t miss the boat.
Remember, we’re all in the same boat.
Plan ahead, it wasn’t raining while Noah built the ark.
Stay fit. When you’re old someone may ask you to do something really big.
Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Build your future on high ground.
Speed isn’t everything; the snails were on board with the cheetahs.
When you’re stressed, float awhile.
Remember the Ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic by professionals.
No matter what the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting.

Some of you know that I’m a tennis player. I haven’t set any records, but one match a few years ago might be close! I was playing doubles, and at one point in a game in which I was serving I reached twenty seven deuces; yes, 27 in one game! (For our non-tennis friends, a deuce is a tie score.)
There are times in our lives when we need to “Get it done,” i.e., finish the job, so to speak. Well, all I can say, it was not for lack of trying to win the game but we were up against some strong opponents. This Sunday is the feast of Pentecost, when we celebrate the work of the Holy Spirit in our Church and in our life. So the question God asks us is, “When are we going to move on in our discipleship to do what needs to be done to win over more disciples to the Gospel of Christ? What’s holding us back from advancing to the “finish line” of faith? Anybody can start the race, but they don’t give out the awards until you finish. Maybe we cannot change circumstances or other people; but if you don’t like the way your life looks, try changing the way you look at life, because the will of God will not take you where the grace of God will not protect you.

Then Jesus took his disciples up the mountain, and gathering them around him, he taught them saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven, Blessed are the meek, Blessed are those who mourn, Blessed are the merciful, Blessed are those that thirst for justice, Blessed are those who are persecuted, Blessed are those who suffer, be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven.”
Then Simon Peter said, “Are we supposed to know this?” And Andrew said, “Do we have to write this down?” James said, “Will we have a test on this?” Philip said, “I don’t have any paper.” Bartholomew said, “Do we have to turn this in?” John said, “The other disciples didn’t have to learn this!” And Matthew said, “May I go to the bathroom?” And Judas said, “What does this have to do with real life?” Then one of the Pharisees who was present asked to see Jesus’ lesson plan and inquired, “Where is your anticipatory set, and what are your objectives in the cognitive domain?”. . .and Jesus wept.
As we come to the end of another school year, let’s give a big shout out to all teachers, particularly those who sometimes seem “up against it”, and give thanks for those who have taught us the faith over the years. And remember; the longest journey we’ll sometimes take is from the head to the heart, because what we are is God’s gift to us; and what we become is our gift to God.

This coming Thursday, forty days after Easter, is the Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord. So what happened to Jesus’ body? Well, I wasn’t there, but I do know that some people are still too busy staring up into the sky, when all we have to do is look around us. If we can’t get our minds around the idea of Jesus floating up through the clouds, maybe we should be more concerned with being His body here on earth. As He left the world, Jesus prayed not that we’d be taken out of this world, but that we would be agents of change in the world.
The Ascension helps us see what should be readily apparent – that Jesus is still among us. In two weeks, on Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate Jesus giving us His Spirit to make His presence real and visible today and every week when we receive the Body of Christ, so that we may become the Body of Christ here on earth to do the work He asks of us. So, when the King of ALL Kings returns, whether in our life time or in the distant future, will we be prepared? Not knowing all the answers is no excuse for giving up on God, because it’s particularly Pentecost that reminds us Jesus really never left; and it’s the “cloudy” moments in our life when we hear Jesus say, “Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the ages.”
