Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time—20 June 2021

“Through our prayers and through the intercession of St. Joseph, patron of fathers, may fathers come to know the irreplaceable role they hold in the lives of their children, and the responsibility they share in welcoming God’s gift of new life!

Most Reverend Shelton J. Fabre, Bishop of Houma-Thibodaux “Fathers’ Irreplaceable Role in Welcoming Life”

Why do Catholics do that? ~~~~~~~~~

Need to give your prayer life a boost?

~~~~~~~~~

A rich prayer life is the key to happiness in this life and the next. Enriching our prayer is not always about the prayers we say. However, how we approach our time in prayer can be as important.

“Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:11) When we greet a dear friend, we may wave, hug or say, “Hello.” When beginning prayer, start by placing yourself in God’s presence and greet him as a dearly loved one.

Come as you are. God is the only one in our lives with whom we can be completely ourselves. We don’t need to have special clothing, use flowery language, or fold our hands a certain way. For prayer to work, we just have to bring our whole selves. You will be amazed by what He will do with that.

Take time out. “Silence is so lacking in this world which is often too noisy, which is not favorable to recollections and listening to the voice of God” (Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI). Find fifteen minutes you can make silent and place God at the center of your attention.

Don’t stop with prayer. Prayer helps us to learn God’s will for us. When we act in communion with His will, it is then that our whole life becomes a prayer in action.
