Mother’s Day
My mother
passed away 25 years ago, as did my father. I remember them because they were a
gift from God to bring me into this world. They raised me and passed their
faith to me by word and example. I am who I am because of them. I find it hard,
personally, to remember one without including the other. I know that they each
have their separate days to be honored, but I remember them as a couple.
My mother
was the healer in the family. Whenever there was a problem, she was the “go to”
person. She would listen and finally would say that everything would work it’s
way back and not to worry.
My father
was more of the rule maker and would tell us why we had violated something and hence
needed to fix what we had broken. I thought of him as not very sympathetic. In
time, I came to realize that I had to be more responsible for my mistakes and consequently
learned lessons.
Together,
my parents healed and helped us to grow up and be ready to find our path in
life with a moral compass to lead and guide us. It was not always so easy, but
we needed to be responsible people for our actions.
So this
Mother’s Day, I remember my mother and know that her other half, my father,
played a part.
May they
rest in peace!
God Bless,
Fr. Michael, O.S.A.
We, the church of Saint Patrick, in the community of
North Park,
of the Roman Catholic Diocese and City of San Diego,
declare this to be our primary mission:
to come together to celebrate the Eucharist,
hear God’s word proclaimed,
give praise and thanksgiving to God,
and develop a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ.
We believe that by freely sharing our faith,
talents, and treasures,
we discover Christ’s presence among us and bring Him
to others.
We have a strong desire to give and receive love,
service, peace, support,
and fellowship, within our families, our parish, our
community, and the world.
Open to the power of the Holy Spirit, we pursue this
mission faithfully and lovingly.
