FROM THE PARISH PRIEST
 

On Father's Day
by Fr. Romey Rosco

        It is true that the best way for a father to love his children is to love their mother.  The reverse is equally true: the best way a mother can love her children is to love their father.

        These truths only emphasize the importance of choosing the right spouse: someone who is mature enough for a responsible relationship with a life-long helpmate AND with the Lord.

        More than anything else in the world, children need loving parents who support each other, complete each other and love each other.  The Lord gives strength to those who obey His commandments and live by His teachings.

        God bless those parents who do just that.  And God bless all who give Godly love and guidance to all children, teaching them the role of our Heavenly Father and Holy Mother Church in their lives.
