FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK FROM A FATHER OF FIVE … QUOTES THAT TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A BETTER FATHER

There are many stereotypes about fatherhood. A father works all day and returns home at night to mete out any punishments the children have earned over the course of the day. He relishes the moment he can play his role as intimidator of his daughter’s first boyfriend, grunts as he drains the oil underneath the car, and enthusiastically reminds the umpire at his son’s Little League game that, with the right insurance policy, prescription glasses aren’t all that expensive. Me? I’m a father of five but have no idea how to change oil. I don’t hunt or fish or watch much sports. Sure, I’m pretty good at providing car snacks on long trips as I drive the family minivan to our vacation destination, but I don’t fit into the traditional role of father in many ways. If we don’t take them seriously, the stereotypes can be amusing, but of course there’s so much more to being a father. I know that as I raise my children I’ve made mistakes, learned a lot, and personally grown by leaps and bounds. Truly, fatherhood is a vocation unlike any other and dads come in all shapes and sizes. It can be tough to know how to be good at it, but luckily we don’t have to figure out the whole dad thing all on our own. Here are a few quotes that illustrate some overlooked qualities of fatherhood that all dads can benefit from thinking about …

The strength to be humble Day after day I was able to observe the austere way in which he lived. By profession he was a soldier and, after my mother’s death, his life became one of constant prayer. Sometimes I would wake up during the night and find my father on his knees, just as I would always see him kneeling in the parish church. We never spoke about a vocation to the priesthood, but his example was in a way my first seminary, a kind of domestic seminary. – Pope St. John Paul II, about his own father John Paul II, who during his life was a spiritual father to billions, learned an important lesson from spying on his dad in the middle of the night. The unspoken example of humility he saw in his father as he prayed after putting the kids to bed, a man who by day was a career soldier, inspired the future pope with the desire to do the same. Even men who are proud of how tough they are can be the best example of tender humility for their children.

It changes your heart The heart of a father is the masterpiece of nature. ― Antoine François Prévost d’Exiles, Manon Lescaut I’ve heard from any number of men who, upon becoming fathers, noticed that their hearts had changed, even going so far as to say they had new insights into love and life. It’s hard to explain, but I feel the same. It wasn’t that I didn’t love my wife or parents before, but having children somehow changed the way I thought about the world, love, and my place in it. Perhaps it’s the knowledge that I now stand in a special relation to my children, and I will gladly work, provide, and suffer on their behalf as long as I live. Somehow, they’re part of who I am now. The heart of a father is unlike any other.

Learn a new kind of bravery To be the father of growing daughters … Nothing can make one so happily exhilarated or so frightened: it’s a solid lesson in the limitations of self to realize that your heart is running around inside someone else’s body. It also makes me quite astonishingly calm at the thought of death: I know whom I would die to protect... ― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch-22: A Memoir No stereotype is more persistent than a man terrified of fathering a daughter. What is it about little girls and their pony-obsessed, bedazzled, tea-partying existence that’s so frightening? Perhaps it’s that girls display innocence in a way that boys, because they’re so physically different, don’t. Anytime a man becomes responsible for another little human it’s frightening … but not really, because children help a father find his place in the world and even give meaning to the possibility of sacrifice and death.

You discover who you really are Sooner or later, you will discover which kind of father you are … You are the kind of father who fakes it, who yells, who measures his children with greatest accuracy only against one another, who evades the uncomfortable and glosses over the painful and pads the historic records of his sorrows and accomplishments alike. You are the kind who teases and deceives and toys with his children and subjects them to displays of rich and manifold sarcasm when — as is always the case — sarcasm is the last thing they need. You are the kind of father who pretends knowledge he doesn’t possess, and imposes information with implacable gratuitousness, and teaches lessons at the moment when none can be absorbed, and is right, and has always been right, and always will be right until the end of time, and never more than immediately after he has been wrong. And when your daughter’s body begins to betray her, and her sky flickers in the distance with the heat lightning of sex, you clear your throat and stroke your chin whiskers and tell her to go ask her mother. You can’t help it — you’re a walking cliché. ― Michael Chabon, Manhood for Amateurs Fiction writer Michael Chabon jokingly outlines how fatherhood reveals character flaws we wish would remain hidden. You can’t fake it with children, and a father quickly finds out what kind of person he really is. On the flip side, fatherhood also reveals virtues we never knew we possessed and even helps create those virtues. The stereotype of a sitcom-ish cliché dad can be funny, but it doesn’t define the real thing. In fact, if a man is willing to grow and mature along with his children, fatherhood helps him become the sort of person he always wanted to be. ….continued on next page.

It isn’t only about the kids The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. — John Wooden, Wooden: A Lifetime of Observations and Reflections On and Off the Court Fatherhood isn’t only about the kids. I could be the nicest, greatest dad in the world who pushes them on the swings all day, coaches all their sports teams, and lets them eat ice cream for dinner, but if I treat their mother poorly, refuse to attend church with the family, make fun of my boss at dinner, and generally set a poor example, I’m not as great a father as I think. Children watch everything, and often moments we don’t even remember take on great importance in their minds. Fathers are forming their children in every tiny, small moment, meaning that the way a father loves their mother, treats the waiter at the restaurant, and generally handles himself really matters. This is good news, because a father doesn’t always know what to say, or how to play the role he’s expected to fit into, but those expectations are far less important than if a father is simply who he is – a good man. Fathers, be good, love those around you, lead by example, and enjoy the great blessing that is fatherhood.

WELCOME HOME, FR. BATEMAN!

FROM FR. JOHN B. BATEMAN, JCL (LT. COL, USAF CHAPLAIN)

My dear people of Seven Sorrows,

It is such a joy to be home! After 6 months (that became 8), to be back here in the Diocese and at SSBVM. We’ve all been through a difficult experience these past months. What helps us to get through it? The support and encouragement from others. I am so grateful to all of you for your support and prayers these past months of my deployment. It was a very privileged time in the desert (literally) with an extremely faithful group of Catholics and several thousand other military members who, at times, were even in harm’s way. Thank you for your prayers for us!

While it is great to be back here at Seven Sorrows, Bishop Gainer has asked that, following my 2-week quarantine, I immediately take over a parish to provide some relief to the pastor. As I go – without an opportunity really to say goodbye – please know of my gratitude for all your goodness and kindness during my residency here in your parish. From your pastor, Fr. Ted, to the office & school staff, to the daily Mass crowd, to ALL of you: THANK YOU!

Fr. Bateman

God Bless you,

Father Bateman!

TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME • JUNE 21, 2020

JUNE 24th: The Solemnity of

the Nativity of St. John the Baptist

Grant, we pray, almighty God, that your family may walk

in the way of salvation and, attentive to what

Saint John the Precursor urged, may come safely

to the One he foretold, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

(from The Roman Missal)

June 24th’s celebration dates from the fourth century and is one of only three birthdays celebrated on the Church calendar, the other two being the Birth of Jesus on December 25 and the Birth of Mary on September 8.

Saint John the Baptist was an heroic prophet who was also humble enough to declare that he was un-worthy to tie the strap of Christ’s sandal (John 3:30).

Our Lord himself declared that “of all those born of women,” there was none greater than John the Baptist, the prophet chosen to prepare the way for the Lord. Saint John had the privilege of baptizing Jesus, marking the beginning of his public ministry.

Saint John the Baptist was beheaded by order of King Herod. His martyrdom is celebrated on August 29.

Saint John the Baptist is honored as the patron saint of Puerto Rico and Jordan and of numerous dio-ceses throughout the world.

In some European cultures, the Solemnity of the Birth of St. John the Baptist is often combined with earlier pre-Christian customs such as building bonfires and other customs associated with the Sum-mer Solstice. In Christian tradition, this connection has often been associated with John the Baptist’s declaration that Jesus “must increase, while I decrease.” And so, at the time of the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, days begin to grow shorter—to decrease—while at Christmas, when we celebrate the coming of Christ into the world, the days begin to grow longer—to increase.

“John was a voice that lasted only for a time; Christ, the Word in the beginning, is eternal.”

—St. Augustine of Hippo

NEEDED: GARDENING ANGELS The COVID 19 has caused us all to pause in our hectic, busy lives…but not the weeds! They have been growing fast and furious! In the past two weeks, the Knights of Columbus have had a crew working diligently to get the Church and School’s landscaping, flower beds, shrubs, etc. cleaned up and looking good again! THANK YOU!!! – You know who you are! Since we all share in the pride of this property, we are trying to develop a program to assist with maintaining the grounds. Our hope is that we can have a group, husband/wife team, friends, or whomever would be willing to “adopt a spot” and commit to keeping that particular area free of weeds and/or whatever else is needed (shrub trimming, etc.) on a regular basis, so that our landscaping will continue to look its best throughout the summer/fall months.

You can work on your area whenever it fits your schedule, but we just ask that it be done regularly to maintain the beautiful landscaping. Won’t you please consider giving time to help us with this endeavor? If you are willing to “adopt a spot,” contact: Augie Spadone at 717-877-4131 or email him at [email protected] as soon as possible. He will coordinate this program and answer any questions you may have. Thanks for your consideration. God bless!

The Knights are looking for Volunteers, from ages 2-92 to finish with the final clean up and Mulching on the Morning of June 27th from 9:00 – Noon. No need to RSVP and No experience is necessary. Just show up and bring a wheelbarrow, shovel and/or a rake if you want. Otherwise we will provide them. Stay as long as you are able. This is a great way to not only help out the Church, but a great way to meet new friends. We Thank You in Advance!

it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming Itself, in

order to testify Its love; and in return, I receive from the greater part only

ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrilege, and by the coldness and
