Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Resting in the Father’s love
Descansar en el amor del Padre
The stories in today’s readings depict the loving power of God as he responds to the fear of his people. These scenarios reference water and the terror it can provoke in those who witness its power. In the Old Testament reading, the Lord questions Job as a storm is raging, and reminds him that it is God who manifests his power over the waters when he commands, “Thus far shall you, [the water], come but no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stilled!” In the responsorial psalm, God the Father hears the cries of distress from “they who sailed the sea in ships” as he “hushed the storm to a gentle breeze and the billows of the sea were stilled.” Mark’s gospel recounts Jesus responding to the voiced terror of the apostles, as “the waves were breaking over the boat,” with the same actions as his Father when he says,” Quiet! Be Still! The wind ceased and there was a great calm.” Three different times, God’s love is made manifest by his power to care for his people. These examples of God’s unfailing love cause us to look at our own fathers and those who care for us in a fatherly way. The role of the father as the head of the family is one that carries the responsibilities of providing shelter, food, and security. As children we look to our fathers, just as we look to our Heavenly Father, to reassure us as we find confidence in their strength. We are inspired on this beautiful Father’s Day to offer prayers of thanksgiving as we ask God to continue to guide our fathers whom he “has set firm on the foundation of his love” (Collect).
Las historias en las lecturas de hoy hablan del poder amoroso de Dios cuando El responde a los temores de su pueblo. En estas escenas se hace referencia al agua y el terror que puede provocar en los que son testigos de su poder. En la lectura del Antiguo Testamento, el Señor cuestiona a Job en medio de una tormenta, y le recuerda que es Dios quien manifestó su poder sobre las aguas cuando les ordenó, “¡Hasta aquí llegarás y no pasarás; aquí se romperá la arrogancia de tus olas!” En el Salmo Responsorial, Dios Padre escucha a los que “gritaron al Señor en su angustia, y«apaciguó la tormenta en suave brisa, y enmudecieron las olas del mar.” El Evangelio de Marcos narra la respuesta de Jesús a las voces aterrorizadas de los apóstoles, cuando “las olas rompían contra la barca hasta casi llenarla de agua.” Con la misma acción de su Padre él dice, “¡Silencio! ¡Cállate! El viento ceso y vino una gran calma.” En tres ocasiones distintas, el amor de Dios se manifiesta por su poder de cuidar a su pueblo. Estos son ejemplos del amor de Dios que nunca falla y el cual recordamos hoy en nuestros papás y en los que de alguna manera han sido como padres para nosotros. El papel de un padre como cabeza de su familia carga las responsabilidades de proveer techo, comida y seguridad. Los niños miran a sus papás, así como nosotros miramos a nuestro Padre Celestial, para asegurarnos que podemos encontrar confianza en su fuerza. En este hermoso Día de los Padre somos inspirados a ofrecerle al Padre las oraciones de agradecimiento y a pedirle que continúe guiando a nuestros papás para que sean cimiento firme en el amor. -2-

Did You Know?
Opportunity for Adult Faith Formation
The important impact of fathers and father figures on children
Are you looking for a way this summer to continue to grow deeper in your faith journey and relationship with God? Are you hoping for an experience of a small faith group, or are you considering becoming Catholic and receiving the sacraments of initiation? Then welcome to our summer Adult Faith Formation series hosted by the Women's & Men's Ministries and the RCIA team. For 6 successive Wednesday evenings beginning June 24 from 7:00-8:30 pm, these ministries will host and facilitate a series based on Fr. Albert Haase' book “Catching Fire, Becoming Flame”. Each evening will be centered on a 30 minute video created by Fr. Albert based on 6 themes from his book. We’ll then break into small groups, and enjoy some time for praise and worship. There will be no cost for this series, since it is hosted by members of our own parish. For this reason we ask all who are interested in attending to register with Kati Excallier (Kescallier@ola-vta.org - 642-7966 ext. 142) so we can be sure to plan according to the level of overall interest.
Whether you’ve seen a child light up when you encourage them, succeed with a little bit of mentoring, or problem solve after lending your listening ear, it is clear that fathers and father figures are a gift in the life of children. While nothing can replace the presence of a father, many of us know from experience the influence that other trusted adults can have on the life of children. Children thrive when they have adults that they can trust and learn from. For complete VIRTUS® Article email: jvienna@laarchdiocese.org.

¿Sabía Usted? El importante impacto de los padres y las figuras paternas para los niños Si alguna vez ha visto cómo se ilumina el rostro de un niño cuando se le elogia, cómo le va mejor con un poco de orientación, o cómo son capaces de resolver sus problemas y dudas luego de que los hayamos escuchado con atención, es obvio que los padres u otras figuras paternas son un don en la vida de los niños. A pesar de que nada puede remplazar la presencia de un padre, muchos de nosotros sabemos por experiencia cuánta influencia otros adultos de confianza pueden tener en la vida de un niño. Los niños triunfan cuando en su vida tienen adultos en quienes pueden confiar y de quienes pueden aprender. Para una copia del artículo completo de VIRTUS®, escriba a jvienna@la-archdiocese.org.
