St. Julie Billiart Parish 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time

From the Desk of Father George
Greetings Parishioners and friends of St. Julie’s,
Last week, the gospel made it quite clear through Jesus’ words that Satan is a force with which to be reckoned. It is Jesus who unites and strengthens us against him, and Jesus - through the Holy Spirit – is the continuous sign of God’s love as we build the Kingdom of God. Our recent addition of the Prayer to St. Michael before Mass continues to remind me that we must all be on guard and seek the grace of God that will defend us from the evil that prowls the earth looking for the ruin of souls.
This weekend, Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed is intentionally offered to the crowds and disciples to explain the growth and power of the Kingdom of God. We hear of God’s intentions to bring about the bloom of faith and the courage to live out that faith. Take time this week to invite that courage into your life and the lives of your loves ones.
Today is Father’s Day. Please remember to pray for all fathers, living and deceased. The gift of life which came from them is ours to celebrate. Embrace it with the same love God has for you. And so, may God’s love be generously bestowed upon all fathers and their children on this special day. And let us not forget the positive male role models that have guided us… they are special beacons of God’s grace, and like a good father in many ways!
Fr. George
Parish News and Updates:
Have you been to the Formed.org website? There are many excellent videos and articles to stimulate the growth of our faith. Try It…. You might be very surprised at how uplifting it can be.
In mid- July, after Vacation Bible School has ended, the Holy Family Room and Guadalupe Room will each get a face lift with new flooring and fresh paint. I can’t wait to see them bright and clean!

"This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land? Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come." - Mk 4:26, 28-29

Family Perspective
The gospel speaks of “the smallest of all seeds which grows and become the greatest of shrubs”. The seemingly insignificant acts of parents can have tremendous effect upon their children. The smallest acts of love, attention and approval, and moments of time spent together are acts of faith and hope. Faith, because we show our belief and confidence in our children and hope, because we will not see the results of our parenting for many years.

God our Father, We give you thanks and praise for
fathers young and old.
We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their vocation; May they find courage and perseverance to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice.
We pray for our own Fathers around the world whose children are lost or suffering; May they know that the God of compassion walks with them in their sorrow.
We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor and guide us with fatherly love and advice.
We remember fathers, grandfather, and great grandfathers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen
