Prayer for the sick
Father, Your love is as wide as the oceans
As deep as the sea,
And as tall as the heavens.
May your spirit rise like a mighty wave and come
and restore those who are ill.
You are the water of life,
You are a fresh spring,
You are healing rain
To all those who are in need. Amen

cious meal to those in need.
Thank you in advance for your service.
“See how a person is justified by works and not by
faith alone.”
James 2:24
11TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JUNE 17, 2018
A note from
Father Tom
In earlier chapters of my life, if
Mother’s Day was about special
menus, dining rooms and restau-
rants, Father’s Day was more
about yards, yard work, and cookouts. It might have
been a matter of taste and choice or it might have
been more a matter of calendar and weather. In any
case, that’s how it was!
This year the readings that fall to us for the
11
th
Sunday in Ordinary Time and Father’s Day have
much to do with yards, planting and cultivating. It
makes great sense to me personally, given my his-
tory!
Jesus taps into our ability with and our need of
the rich world of choosing, planting, cultivating and
harvesting. Granted, those who sat with him and
heard his parables in real time probably knew more
about agriculture than the majority of us who live to-
day. And the particular trees and branches that in-
habited the world of Jesus’ Jewish ancestors and his
contemporaries are decidedly not available at our lo-
cal home and garden store. Still, creation lives,
breathes, absorbs nutrition, and grows all around us!
The power of the parables that Jesus tells have not
lost their meaning. At times it is the power to remind
us that we are part of a greater whole. At times it is
the power to advise us of the difference it makes the
kind of soil in which we are planted. At times it is the
power to unfold the mystery of how something be-
comes more than itself only when or after it “lets go”
being that which, to our eyes, it so obviously is.
Whether or not Father’s Day finds you in the
yard in any way, do enjoy Father’s Day as it is yours
to do. And whether or not you could tell a mustard
seed from a watermelon seed, please do not fail to
attend to all that has been planted within you. Strong,
deep roots . tall, broad trunk . wide, welcoming
branches . yes, it’s a parable for us, and it’s a par-
able built of us. For, to the world we must become all
that Christ has revealed, not because it is fully within
us to be so or to do so. Rather, it is the parable in us
and of us that Christ is revealing day by day, year by
year, through the mercy and grace of the power that
is his!

How about making a
Cursillo weekend?
Cursillo or "short course in Christian-
ity" is an uplifting and educational
experience. Cursillo was brought
from Spain to the United States in 1962. The week-
end is facilitated by a team of laypeople and clergy
who deliver organized talks and discussions. What
the presenters add to the talks is the witness of their
own lives, their struggles and triumphs in Christ. The
weekend is full of laughter, prayer, great music, won-
derful meals and so much more. Our 2018 dates are:
Men’s - June 14-17; Women’s - October 25-28. All
weekends will be held at the Immaculate Conception
Spiritual Renewal Center in Putnam, CT. For addi-
tional information, please contact Sue Leighton at 508-
278-3155 or [email protected] OR Joan
Laracy at 774-239-2474 or [email protected].
