Father ed's sunday reading
Father Ed Lamp
June 13, 2021
[Feast of Saint Anthony of Padua]
Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings: Ezekiel 17:22-24
2 Corinthians 5:6-10
Mark 4:26-34
Children are great for asking questions. They ask one question and, having received an answer, they ask another. As children grow into adolescence, they begin to ask more probing questions, questions that look for some kind of light to be cast on the deeper issues of life. In time, they may come to realize that clear answers are not always to be found to life’s more profound questions. As adults we often have to reconcile ourselves to living with many unanswered questions.

National Regent Sherry Nilles
My dear Catholic Daughters,The theme for this issue of SHARE is Bursting with Faith, Hope, and Love.
This theme is most appropriate during the Easter season. We, as Easter People, have been praying that we can burst out of this pandemic more fervently in faith -- That our Risen Christ will hear our pleas for healing and a return to “normal” life.
- That faith in God and each other will bring something good out of this world-wide crisis.
- That we can once more look forward to the brightness and warmth of spring.
- That the cold and bitterness of winter will come to an end and that the promises given to us on Easter morning will shine once more in our lives.
