Following Jesus Removes all Fear I love aviation and there is a concept in flying that I find interesting. It’s called the instrument landing system or ILS. Think about driving through fog. You can only see a
couple of hundred feet in front of you. Now imagine doing that in the air. How can a plane land without seeing the runway? Simply put, they follow a road in the sky called ILS. A signal starting at the runway creates a path for planes to follow onto the ground. Meaning even though they can’t see the runway, signals line them up with the runway. Using these guidelines, planes can line up with the runway horizontally and vertically and land safely without seeing the runway. To the untrained eye, it is a scary experience. You don’t see anything until moments of being on the ground. How do you know you are in line with the runway without seeing it? You have faith in your instruments and trust they will land you safely. Because the pilots have faith, they are not afraid even in a scary situation. In our Gospel, the disciples are in a boat caught in a storm. Not knowing what will happen or when the storm is going to pass, they are afraid. However, Jesus is calm and asleep in the stern. They wake him up, telling him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” Jesus rebukes the wind and commands the sea to be quiet. The waters subsided and there was a great calm. Jesus then criticizes them for their lack of faith. If they had faith, they would not be afraid. I don’t know about you, but I can relate to the disciples. I’ve never been in a boat during a storm, but I’ve faced storms in my life. These storms caused fear in me, and my faith was shaken. The message of the Gospel this weekend tells us to not be afraid and have faith that everything will work out. That is why I think of the ILS system on airplanes. We could almost say the ILS system is like following Jesus in our lives. If we stay focused on Jesus and we follow his path, we will land safely in heaven! Not only will we be in heaven while on earth, but we also will not be afraid because we know that Jesus is leading us to salvation. I encourage all of us to turn to Jesus in times of trial and tribulation. These moments are scary and can cause fear to enter our lives. But if we stay focused on Jesus, we will not be afraid. I think of Psalm 23, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.” Stay focused on Jesus, and he will lead you to eternal life!
In Christ,
Fr. Tim

INDEPENDENCE DAY PATRIOTIC ROSARY CELEBRATION—SAVE THE DATE—Plans are underway for our annual Patriotic Rosary, hamburgers and fireworks. The celebration will begin on Satur-day, July 3 with Mass at 4:30pm. Following Mass, you are invited to come out and enjoy free hamburg-ers and fellowship in the Church Hall. The Patriotic Rosary will then be recited on the Island beginning about 7:45pm followed by a fireworks display. Fireworks will be displayed at the bayou side north of the cemetery. To help in the planning for food, we ask that you call in the number of family members planning to attend by Tuesday, June 29.
ATTENTION ALL LECTORS/COMMENTATORS AND EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS— If you wish to continue your ministry and be put back on the schedule, please call the Parish office by Friday, July 25. We will begin making schedules again beginning in July. In order for these schedules to be effective, we need to know who is still willing to serve in their minis-try.

A VOCATION VIEW—TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME—Life can remind us of life-eternal; Death can remind us of death-eternal. Each day we must choose to live or die physically or spiritu-ally. What we do daily either builds us up or tears us down. Priests and religious are unique proclaimers of eternal life. If you feel God calling you to be one, you, contact Fr. Josh Johnson at 225-336-8778, [email protected] or visit www.diobr.org/vocations.
