(St.

Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (June 17, 2012) Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Todays gospel calls fathers to be men of faith and hope. The gospel speaks of the smallest of all seeds which grows and become the greatest of shrubs. Our seemingly insignificant acts can have a tremendous effect upon our children. Our smallest acts of love, attention and approval, or the moments of time spent together, are acts of faith and hope. Faith, because we show our belief and confidence in our children; hope, because we will not see the results of our parenting for many years. (Insert graphic 1106-0086)
360 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. Silence is so powerful a language that it reaches the throne of the living God. Even a few short moments of this silent presence before the Blessed Sacrament is a precious treasure, for it is in this silence that the Lord speaks to us. If you have been telling yourself someday will be a good time to start making a Holy Hour, why not today? Can you honestly say what is more important? Call Judy Soltis at 330-212-0926.
