The Pastor is IN...

In his Letter to the Ephesians, St. Paul said that he knelt “before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named” (Eph 3:14-15).

All human fathers find the source and model of their vocation in our heavenly Father. They are called, like every person, to “be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt 5:48).

No father can live this calling out completely on this side of heaven. But with the help of God’s grace, they can improve in their life of love and service to their families from day to day.

The question is, Do they cooperate with God’s grace or turn away from it? The Bible gives us examples of what can happen in both instances.

The account in Genesis of Adam and Eve’s fall from grace, in what Catholic tradition has called original sin, is immediately followed by the story of Cain and Abel, their two sons. In a fit of anger and dejection, Cain killed Abel.

Before their sin, Adam and Eve had more than enough of God’s grace to live out their calling as spouses and parents in perfect harmony just as God had planned.

But they rejected that grace in their choice to sin. Division and hardship came in its place. One of the first of the continuing effects of original sin was seen in Cain striking down Abel.

All of us were born into the brokenness of original sin. Adam and Eve took it on by choice. Parents experience the sad effects of their own imperfections in their children in many ways.

Adam and Eve saw this in the murder of Abel by Cain, the devastation of which has been dramatically portrayed by many artists over the centuries.

In the second century, St. Irenaeus described Mary as the “new Eve,” undoing by her “yes” to God what was done in Eve’s “no.”

If Mary was the new Eve, St. Joseph can in a sense be considered a new Adam in anticipation of Jesus, whom St. Paul described as “the last Adam” (1 Cor 15:45).

Unlike Adam, who rejected God’s commands to him, Joseph is described as being “a righteous man,” one who obeys God’s law as given through Moses (Mt 1:19).

And when God gave Joseph specific commands through angels, first to accept Mary as his wife, then to take her and the Christ Child into Egypt and finally to return with them to Israel, he is portrayed in all three moments as instantly obeying.

Joseph’s faithfulness to his calling of caring for the Holy Family continued in the life he shared with them in Nazareth.

The example of disobedience in Adam is, thus, reversed in the example of obedience given in St. Joseph.

Our heavenly Father gives all human fathers responsibility for their children. This has been seen in many cultures as an exalted position of authority.

But fathers who are also disciples of Christ lead their children to God most effectively by humbly following the example of St. Joseph in being faithful to God’s will.

Happy Father’s Day to all of our dads, stepdads,

foster dads, adopted dads, and anyone who has

served in that guiding role in our lives.

St. Edward, pray for us. Treu in Christus, faithfully in Christ, Fr. Rod

For those called to be Fathers…

Mass in the Grass Sunday, July 12th at 10:00am in Zupan Park

We are combining the 8:30am and the 11:00am Mass for the day and having it outside in our Zupan Park. We will be honoring the high school graduates at that Mass.

Families are welcome. Please bring your own chairs. In case of inclement weather, Mass will be held in the gym.

ST. EDWARD PARISH WOULD LIKE TO SAY

“HAPPY FATHER’S DAY”

TO ALL SPIRITUAL AND PATERNAL FATHERS

God our Father, through the intercession of St. Joseph, the foster father of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, we give you thanks and

praise for all fathers in the world.

We pray that they may have the courage and perseverance to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice.

We remember fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers who are no longer with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us

with their love.

And we also remember and give thanks for all men who stand as positive male role models in our spiritual journey on this earth.

Amen

ST. EDWARD CHURCH COMMISSIONING STEPHEN MINISTERS!

This weekend at all masses we are commissioning four new Stephen Ministers:

Beverly Dowdell, John Dowdell, Lee Edson, and Trina Swan

These four have received 50 hours of specialized training and join a team of seven active Stephen Ministers we commissioned in our initial class last year serving our parish. Please lift up our new Stephen Ministers in your prayers, asking that God bless their ministry and work through them to bring hope and healing to those they will serve. Pray also for the continued ministry of St. Edward Church other Stephen Ministers.

Stephen Ministers provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care to people experiencing a crisis or going through a difficult time. Stephen Ministers meet weekly with their care receiver for around an hour to listen, care, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support for the person. Caring relationships last for as long as the person’s need persists.

Please pray for our new Stephen Ministers - ask God to bless their ministry and work through them to bring hope and healing to those whom they serve. Pray also for the ongoing ministry of our current Stephen Ministers.

For more information about Stephen Ministry, contact Len Leber at

513-410-2062 or send an email to stephmin@stedwardashland.org.
