As we gather for the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time, our readings remind us that fear is a natural part of life, yet we are never alone. In the Gospel, Jesus tells His disciples, “Do not be afraid.” These words speak directly to our hearts amid the uncertainties and challenges we face each day. We are reminded that God’s loving providence watches over us and that our faith gives us the courage to live as witnesses to His truth and mercy.
This weekend, we also celebrate Father’s Day. We give thanks for all fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, and the many men who serve as mentors and role models in our lives. May God bless them with wisdom, strength, patience, and joy as they reflect the faithful love of our Heavenly Father.
Pax tecum,
Msgr. Butler
