FATHER’S DAY PRAYER Lord, thank you for all fathers.

For the new ones, who endure sleepless nights with infants in arms.

For the busy ones, who juggle the pressures of home and family life.

For the steadfast ones, who nurture and care for our special vulnerable children.

For the patient ones, who always seek to forgive and engage with their pre-teens.

For the persistent ones, who cleverly find new ways to connect with their mini-adults.

For the father uncles, who step in to cradle and care for nieces and nephews.

For all granddads, who love and support their precious grandchildren.

For the foster dads that are called to gather and cover the fragile ones.

For the Sunday dads who care for our children and lead them in faith.

For the dads who give far beyond their own resources, who overcome disability to cherish and love.

Thank you Lord for all our beautiful fathers. Help us to support them and keep them in our prayers. May you

bless them now on this their special day. Amen.

SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN Did you know? Cyberbullying could be affec ng your child In the summer, children may be spending more me talking to friends online and sharing status updates on social media, playing games, and more. The internet is a great way to keep in touch with classmates while school is out, but it’s also a place where cruel and bullying behavior can be rampant. Talk to your children about internet safety, and be vigilant about who they communicate with and how they are ac ng. If your child seems sad or depressed, it could be a sign that bullying is going on. Unlike in school, you can’t walk away from cyberbullying, and harmful messages can be spread quickly. As parents, stay up to date on what sites your children are using, and openly monitor conversa ons and messages if needed. Learn more in the VIRTUS® ar cle “Cyberbullying — What is it, What Harm Does it Do, and What can Adults do to Help, Part Two?” at h p://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protec ng/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Ar cles.aspx.

THIS IS THE HOLY TRINITY Today we celebrate the Holy Trinity, one of the most confounding mysteries of our faith. Through this mystery we experience our rela onship to God: Creator, Savior, and Holy Spirit. This rela onship is not easy to understand or to describe. It does not become clearer through analysis. Its complexity mirrors the complexity of all our rela onships. We understand our rela onships with our spouses, our children, our parents, and our friends only through daily give-and-take, annual rituals, and the life-changing moments we share. We understand our rela onships only as we live them. The rela onships we have with those we love, and who love us, sustain us through an uncertain and difficult life. This is the Holy Trinity. What is striking about today’s readings is that each is incomplete. What they do offer is a descrip on of a moment in our rela onship, a memory of a me and an event when our rela onship made sense even though that sense may be beyond our ability to describe fully. O en that is all that our faith offers, that is, a memory of what is possible, what is promised, what has been given. A memory of eternity, of love beyond understanding is to be cherished and nurtured even if not fully understood. This is the Holy Trinity. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
