12th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Can you imagine sitting on a bench just like this with Jesus asking you, “Who do you say that I am?”  Have you recently told someone about your relationship with Jesus? This whole week, 141 Sisters of Divine Providence have been focused on our commitment of “furthering the mission of Jesus” wherever we are, whatever it is that we are doing in ministry. As we remember the mission that our founders began in Texas 150 years ago, we ask ourselves, “To what ‘new territories’ are we being called?”

Many of you have reflected on your reading of Matthew Kelly’s book, Rediscovering Jesus. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, we know that every day Jesus is revealed to us, even rediscovered, if we pay attention to the calls that come to us in daily living our vocational call.  Happy Father’s Day, guys!  May God bless you with new insights about your role not only in providing, but also in loving your children into being the best they can be. And may the communion of saints in heaven, which includes many of our dads, today provide cherished memories and remembrances of wisdom and love shared bounteously.
