In today’s Gospel according to Luke, Jesus prophecies that He would undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised from the dead. What was spoken by Jesus to the Apostles was meaningless at the time. It was only after His Resurrection that the Apostles would remember His prophecy. He also reminds us to persevere in the trials that may cross our daily path and to “Take up our cross and follow Him.”

This weekend we take the time to honor that special person in our lives we call “FATHER.”

What Makes a Dad…

God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it ... Dad
