St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception

We have returned to Ordinary Time. And yet, the first two Sundays of Ordinary Time after Pentecost are the two Solemnities of the Most Holy Trinity and the Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus. Even, and especially, in the ordinary moments of our Christian life, we are called to grow in our relationship and love with God, Who desires a personal loving relationship with us, enough to provide the Son to us in the Eucharist. What a good and wonderful God we praise!

A blessed and happy Father’s Day to all dads this weekend! More than simply a time to rest, relax, and grill out, this is a national, social, (dare I say,) secular recognition of that innate and irreplaceable role that fathers play in marriages, families, and society. Fathers, who are active, involved, and engaged in loving relationship with their wives and children, are a true testament to authentic living. We as a country and culture desperately need that witness.
