Blessed is the man that receives the Heavenly Father as Lord of his Life. Blessed is the father that will lay down his life for his wife and children.
Blessed is the father that offers to wash the dishes and tend to the baby, so mother can have a break, even after his long day at work.
Blessed is the father that can attentively and patiently listen when he gets home to crying children, and an exhausted and frustrated wife. Then be able to smile, to offer comforting and soothing words, regardless of his feelings and frustrations.
Blessed is the father that takes the time to read the Bible to his children and pray with them, teaching them to receive his Heavenly Father as their Lord.
Blessed is the father that disciplines his children with love, making sure his life is a loving example of his Heavenly Father.
Blessed is the father that can patiently listen to his teenagers, when they are telling him that he is too old and doesn’t understand the world of today.
Blessed is the father that spends late nights and lonely hours in intercessory prayer for his wife and family, so he will be able to allow his Heavenly Father’s love, patience, long-suffering, meekness, temperance, forbearance and forgiveness, to be seen and expressed in demanding the opportune moments.
Blessed is the father that is able to praise the Lord while the house has run amuck; mending his family’s hurts and frustrations, disciplining, and handling financial disruption, all the while knowing the right words to say in love.
Blessed is the father that teaches and leads his family into becoming a Family of God.
Blessed is this humbled father, this unselfish man, who lovingly leads this home, as it has been taught to him by the Heavenly Father, through His son Jesus Christ!

Reflection for the 12
th
Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading: Jeremiah 20:10-13
Responsorial Psalm: 69:8-10, 14, 17, 33-35
Second Reading: Romans 5:12-15
Gospel Reading: Matthew 10:26-33
Reflection: Jesus tells the Twelve: Fear no one. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.” In the First Reading, the ungodly people want to destroy prophet Jeremiah because of his preaching against their evils. In the midst of all these rejections, the prophet anchors himself to God when he says, “But the LORD is with me like a might champion, my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph.” As God’s people, we are not exempted from rejections, persecutions and trials even when we do the good works of God. Jesus, the Son of God who brought us the gift of salvation ended up dying on the cross at Calvary. At the cross Jesus continued to love his people and fully anchored himself to the Father when He prayed, “Into your hands father, I commend my spirit.” St. Paul writes, “Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is Christ Jesus our Lord,” Romans 8:35 -39. In all circumstances, we are called to remain in God who is everything. Amen. Fr. Severine
