Pastor
There’s something special about trees. Years ago, after a severe sickness, I
walked for hours in the woods, look-ing upward at the massive trees, hoping beyond hope that my strength would someday return. As I walked, I seemed so small and insignificant; they were so big and strong. When my dad was near death and I walked once again in the forest, I looked downward at the small plants at the feet of the trees that carpeted the earth, interspersed with pink, yellow, and white flowers. As I reflected on the plants, I remembered that were it not for the dainty vegetation near the ground, through which the trees grew, they would not have survived.
This year, I walked through the woods with renewed strength. I looked upward at the canopy of leaves emerging in the spring and downward to the weeds and flowers and imagined the new growth and buds of the trees smiling. In my reflec-tions, I realized that many different spe-cies of trees gradually emerged from their winter slumber to bring forth buds. The trees seemed to smile, as the cold winter ended and the sun’s warmth brought forth new life.
Coming alive, the trees are symbols of hope. No matter how hard the winter, every spring they emerge, strong and vi-brant; young saplings replace those whose life is ended.
Trees can reflect the seasons of our lives and remind us to renew our Christian hope. From death new life always emerg-es. True from the beginning of time until now, this reached its climax in the death and resurrection of Jesus – our greatest symbol of hope. Buoyed up by our faith, remember that the spring and summer of our lives come after the fall and winter is over. This happens here on earth and eventually for eternity in heaven.
This year, when we see the trees smiling as they come into full bloom, smile yourself. Remember that regardless of how good or difficult our lives are, the smile of the Risen Christ tells us that someday we will smile for all eternity.
The Trees Smile Our greatest symbol of hope is the death and resurrection of Jesus Father Robert J. Hater

Did you know that on November 24, 1713, a very tiny, very weak little baby was born in Petra on the island of Mallorca? He was baptized quickly because everyone was afraid he would die. Miguel Jose Serra did grow up to be a small man. But this small man walked thousands of miles through the Mexican and California wilderness in the service the Church to evangelize the Native Indians.
Blessed Junípero Serra will be canonized on September 23, 2015
during a Mass in Washington, DC.

Reflecting on God’s Word
I watch most of the children in my three brothers’ families growing into what is called “emerging
adulthood.” It must be very difficult at times for parents, only being able to watch, hope, and pray as their children start to move away from home and begin to make their own way into the world. Will they be safe, make the right choices, be happy? Making use of images from nature, scripture reminds us that God gives the growth, whether it is to mighty cedars springing from small shoots, ripened grain sprouting from the blade, or a fully grown mustard plant emerging from the tiniest of seeds to offer its large branches as housing for the birds.Such poetic language calls us to reflect on the mystery of the kingdom of God, whose seeds were found in the various covenants extended to Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, and then fully enfleshed in Jesus so many millennia ago. This kingdom continues to sprout in our day, often where least expected.Sometimes it breaks through like a mighty cedar, but more often it is a quieter blossoming, suddenly emerging like stalks of grain, or the first signs of life carried in a mother’s body. I am sure God has worried for all the children of every age who have filled the earth. The kingdom of life won by Christ continues to have the power to carry all God’s sons and daughters into the loving arms of the God Jesus taught us to call Father.

When my young son asks me what God looks like, I want to tell him what he will probably only understand much later: that—for children
especially—God looks like the people in whom they vest their trust. God can be merciful or terrible.
I learned this through my relationship with my father, who died 11 years ago at the age of 72. Our relationship was always complicated. Early on it was Dad who taught me to write my name and to read simple books. He introduced me to the pleasures of walking in the woods. And he had a way of making the ordinary fun. In the fall he would rake up enormous piles of leaves for us to jump into, piles that we would burn afterwards in great billowy bonfires.
By the time I was 8 or 9 years old, however, my father was also drinking most of a bottle of vodka every night. In a haze of cigarette smoke and through a process I could not understand, the Dad I adored was being sucked away from me like a genie. The bottle I came to hate, in its habitual perch next to the kitchen sink, was for many years a barometer for the rest of us. The lower the level of the liquid in the bottle, the more trouble we could expect from Dad.
One terrible Saturday afternoon when I was a preteen, my pet parakeet got out of its cage. My father, who was already drunk, tried to chase the bird back in with a broom, breaking its leg and wing. Pathetically, I tried to repair my bird’s leg with first aid tape, but he died soon afterwards. My favorite color was turquoise, and for years I dreamed and daydreamed of a bird of that color beaten down in flight, of crashing my car into a highway embankment, of escape.
That’s when I gave up on God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. While I continued to attend Mass until I left college, mostly to avoid antagonizing my father, “merciful” and “paternal” no longer went together in my mind. I lived the truth of what I heard a priest say recently, that unless a child finds a little bit of God in her father, she will not find a father in God. Neither could I bear to think of God as a bird, even in symbolic terms.
Years passed. My father went in and out of rehab, but he always started drinking again, often on the day of his discharge. Then, when I was 27 and just back from three years in England, I found out that my father was doing most of his drinking away from home and so was driving drunk. How long would it be before he killed someone?
On one of the most difficult days of my life, I went to court and signed my father over for forced confinement. I hated the idea of caging him, but I just couldn’t stand by and watch my father take someone innocent down with him. He was sent to a state-run psychiatric facility and forcibly detoxed.
Dad was 60 then and, while he lived another 12 years, he never drank again. For the first few years of his sobriety, he was vengeful and difficult to be around. My parents divorced during that time. Initially, my father also refused to believe that I had been the one to put him in “lock-up.”
With the grace of God and the help of a 12-step program, however, Dad eventually put the bitterness behind him and rooted himself in a new
community. At his funeral I was astonished by how many people showed up to recognize his role in helping them to achieve and maintain sobriety.
In the last few years of Dad’s life, he and I used to meet regularly in diners to talk. While there was no possibility of recovering all the lost years, I still felt grateful for the opportunity to build, however shakily, from where we were.
I came to understand that it is much easier to make peace with human beings than with ghosts and imaginings. In coming back to us, my father helped me, too, to let go and move on. The Holy Spirit, in whom I had lost all faith, began to rise again from the ashes of all that my father and I had been through together. My father gave me copies of his recovery literature. “Read this stuff,” he urged me. “It’s not just for drunks, you know.”
Eventually Dad died of a heart attack. Now, with a 14-year-old, a 12-year-old with serious handicaps, and a 7-year-old running around our house, life for my husband and me is full of both blessings and struggles. It’s fair to say that I have finally made some kind of peace with the imperfection of my father’s love for me and mine for him.
In midlife I have come to realize that, on our own, few of us are capable of becoming the parents and the people that we had hoped or planned to be. If we are honest, we can see our individual faults and failings following us like footprints across the landscapes of our lives.
But I also now appreciate that the surrender to a higher power at the heart of 12-step programs is, as my father had come to understand, our best hope of becoming our best selves. When we acknowledge our weakness and humbly ask God for help, we are opening ourselves to the power of God, who can do with us what we cannot accomplish alone.
These days I find myself asking God on an almost daily basis, in large matters and in small, to make of me what I cannot seem to make of myself.
After my father died, I became a lector at Mass as a special way of praying for the man who had taught me to read. It occurs to me that the short prayer I always say as I come forward to proclaim—“Not me, Lord, but you through me”—is a pretty good summary of the most important thing I learned from my father about the miracles that are possible with God.
It’s also a pretty good description of what I aspire to in my life and especially with my kids.
Knowing that human love and human effort will never be enough on their own, I still want to be the best mirror that I can of a God who came to be like us before he commissioned us to try to be like him. All of us look for God in human form, and we make and break images of God for each other every day. The faith and the trust of a child can soar like a bird into the heavens, but they must make their home on the earth.
I ask God to make me worthy of that trust and capable with his assistance of meeting the tremendous responsibility that is thrust upon us as parents, imperfections and all: that of helping to make the invisible visible and real.
My father, our Father by Mary Cleary Kiely

Something felt off, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I couldn’t get to daily Mass, my
Rosary hung from my rear view mirror, daring me to make the time. I felt disconnected, out of sync. When I prayed, it was hurried.
Have you ever noticed that when you talk to a friend that you have been out of touch with that you are surprised at all the things that have happened in your respective lives during that time? Catching up, we call it. That was it. I hadn’t caught up with God. I wasn’t picking up my spiritual phone to touch base and then I was surprised when I felt out of touch with my own Creator!
Prayer is like that. It is a conversation we need to have, but more than that, we need to set aside the time to make the call. Why is it, for instance, that people who say, “I don’t need to go to Mass on Sunday to worship. I can do it in the outdoor cathedral of the world, “never seem to crack that Bible on Sunday to do just that. As with all relationships, our friendship with God requires some dedication.
You can look at things like reading the Bible, Mass, the rosary or a novena as just Traditions of the Church, but they are so much more than that. True love takes time, commitment, knowledge and work. Utilizing the Sacraments, sacramentals, and Traditions of the Church can teach us to be disciplined in our approach to this relationship.
The Church understands this need for time with Our Lord in prayer and encourages us to wrap our day in it. Perhaps Summer is a great season to look at our day and try to add to it one way to draw nearer to our Lord.
Morning
We can start the day with a morning offering. There are many available to choose from or you can make up your own. When my kids were very little, we used to say, “Jesus be with us today, help us as we work and play.” Then we would tell the Lord that our day was His day and offer it to him. Some people like to say a little prayer to their guardian angel as well. Others start their day with an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. Any prayer that gives the first moments of our day and all those that follow to the Lord will do. Starting the day with daily Mass (if available) is another great opportunity to start the day in prayer.
During the Day
There are many opportunities to pray during the day. Formal prayers such as the Rosary can be used. The Angelus can be prayed at noontime or the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3pm (The hour of the death of Jesus Christ, known as the hour of Mercy). Just saying a quick hello to the Lord during the day, or stopping in at a church to spend a moment in front of the tabernacle can bring an individual closer to God.
Evening
Dinner prayers with the family, a family rosary or just time spent reading the Bible together encourages family devotion to God. When our children were small, we would make a small examination of conscience with them at night and then pray the rosary together until they fell asleep. Ending our day with Our Lord close by brings comfort and increases love. We kiss our spouses goodnight, tuck our children in and kiss them, isn’t it nice to give Our Lord a spiritual kiss goodnight as well? Many blessings.

You can help children prepare for natural disasters
When parents and caregivers or other family members deal with crisis situations calmly and confidently, children feel more confident and secure. A child’s
reactions are influenced by the behavior they see. The better prepared you are, the more reassuring you may be during an emergency. To help prepare your family, develop a disaster plan and assemble a supply kit. For more information and emergency preparedness tips,
