This weekend we honor our Fathers, those still with us and those who have gone home to the Lord. I would like to share with you a moment I shared with my dad as I was grow-ing up. My dad was particularly proud of his garden. One day when I was 10 years old, I was helping him plant tomato plants. I asked him will we get a lot of tomatoes. He said to me we plant them and God grows them. It didn’t register with me then, but reflecting on today’s Gospel it is a strong message. The people who heard Jesus tell the parable of the farmer's life also shared the wonder of the soil. The farmer works hard during the day, but he can't make the seed grow into a plant, and the plant produce fruit. God causes the growth. Jesus' point is that like the plants, the Kingdom of God is in God's hands. The workers in the Lord's fields must do their best to create the proper environment for growth, but God causes the growth. We really need to recognize the wonders of God’s hand in our own lives. Does our faith mean more to us today than it did twenty years ago, or even ten years ago? I think most of us would say, “Yes” to that question. Well, how does it happen that we are more determined to live our faith now than we had been? It happens because God continues to give growth to the faith. We are members of the greatest society the world has ever seen. We are members of the Kingdom of God. We are members of the Church. No matter what the media may comment, we are part of the only truly rele-vant organization in the world. We give meaning to the whole purpose of existence. The Church continues to grow; for the Lord, not for people. God gives the growth. My dad was so right, oh how I miss that wis-dom. On behalf of Msgr. Cassato, Fr Martin, Fr Ron and the entire staff of St Dominic’s I wish everyone a most blessed Father’s Day ■

All ARE WELCOME AT ST. DOMINIC

The Mustard Seed of Faith Today’s Gospel is the well known account of Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed, its smallness in size yet the manner in which it grows and produces a tree capable of welcoming various birds to its branches. It is an apt way of describing the univer-sality of the Church that blossoms from small acts of faith in the daily lives of its members.

The Church seems always to be a Church of con-trasts. While it is true that salvation comes solely through the Catholic Church, it is also true that those who through no fault of their own have never heard the Gospel or known Jesus, can also be saved if they live morally upright lives in accord with the grace given them by God. While it is true that the Church is holy, it is also true that the Church, in its individual members, is marked by sin. While it is true that the Church is one, it is also true that it is many in its expressions and its cultural imprint.

It is good for us to remember that it only takes faith the size of a mustard seed to change the world, our world, the world in which each of us lives. The size of a mustard seed.

Maybe we don’t want to think that way because if we do then we have to accept the responsibility which is ours to plant that seed, to spread that faith, to evangelize in our immediate surround-ings. No one can exclude him or herself by claim-ing weakness of faith or poor knowledge. It only takes faith the size of a mustard seed. Others of us may not want to think this way because if we do, then we have to reverence each human person who searches in any way for God and the truth. We have to put aside our petty differences. We have to quit judging and being arrogant and self-serving because who knows, God may very well take someone whose faith is tiny and use that per-son to do great things, for greater things than he uses us. Thinking this way demands humility. It demands that we recognize that God is God and we aren’t him as the slang says.

There are a lot of those mustard seeds out there. Lots of them dropping to the ground awaiting a little sun and rain.

Nourish them, my friends, in the family, friends and parishes to which you belong. Nourish those whose faith is small… never judge.

Posted on October 30, 2012 by Deacon Bob Yerhot of

the Diocese of Winona, Minnesota.

Gospel: Mark 4:26-34 Jesus said to the crowds: “This is how it is with the kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and through it all the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once. For the harvest has come.” He said, “To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth the large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.” With many such parables he spoke the word to them as they were able to understand it. Without parables he did not speak to them, but to his own disciples he explained everything in private. The Gospel of the Lord.

DOMENICA UNDICECIMA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO

MARCO 4,26-34

L UOMO CHE SEMINA SE ANCHE SI FA BUIO, HA SPERANZA DEI FRUTTI

Di cosa dobbiamo preoccuparci? Perché fatichiamo ancora a fidarci del Signore? Quanto scoraggiamento vedo negli sguardi affaticati dei nostri preti! Quanto dolore nelle loro parole! La Chiesa sembra perdere consensi, nubi fosche si addensano all'orizzonte. Ma anche al di fuori della fede le cose non vanno meglio, anzi. Guardandoci intorno rischiamo davvero di lasciarci cadere le braccia: il mondo non cambia, la violenza e l'indifferenza sembrano inarrestabili, assistiamo impotenti al dilagare della dittatura dell'economia...E il Signore, oggi, ci incoraggia: il Regno cresce anche se non ce ne accorgiamo, come il seme gettato dal seminatore si fa strada fra le zolle della terra e diventa spiga e grano. Bando all'ansia, amici! Smettiamola di ragionare da piccoli manager ossessionati dai risultati o di misurare la validità della nostra pastorale! Entriamo, infine, nella logica di Dio, crediamo (almeno noi!) alle parole del Maestro. Le nostre comunità cristiane sono diventate una piccola e disarmata realtà nel caos delle opinioni: siamo un piccolo resto, come il granello di senapa. Non spaventiamoci, allora, e ancora, lieti, mettiamo la nostra vita al servizio del Vangelo.

Dalle piccole cose nascono grandi progetti. Dai sogni di uomini qualsiasi prendono vita storie meravigliose. Favole, o parabole, che sembrano essere solo frutto della fantasia ma che raccontano di valori, di principi, di strade da percorrere. Narrano di persone buone che contrastano con le armi dell'amore la cattiveria che, se lasciata libera di crescere, soffoca la bontà ed i buoni propositi. Quanti adulti leggono romanzi di fantasia, vanno al cinema a vedere cartoni animati, si soffermano in tv sui programmi che raccontano le prodezze di cavalieri d'altri tempi. La bontà è dentro di noi, ognuno ha in sé la voglia di restare bambino, di essere preso per mano e condotto davanti ad una finestra che si affaccia sul mondo della fantasia. Ogni persona ha bisogno di fuggire dalle cose brutte che lo circondano, di scappare da quella che pensa essere la realtà. Ma cosa è la realtà? E' ciò che costruiamo intorno a noi, è il vestito che ci mettiamo ogni mattina e ci togliamo la sera. Ma il presente ed il futuro ce lo costruiamo noi, siamo noi che decidiamo con chi camminare, cosa fare, cosa pensare. Siamo disposti a credere a ufo e segni zodiacali, diamo retta a ciarlatani che assicurano guadagni stratosferici e cure miracolose? Siamo forse stupidi? No, siamo bramosi di vivere in un mondo buono, dove i problemi non esistano o si risolvano da soli.

Abbiamo un Libro, il Vangelo, che ci parla di un mondo possibile, parla in parabole ma è legato alla vita di Dio che si è fatto uomo per noi. Non credete in Dio? Il Vangelo vi apparirà comunque come un insieme di racconti, di consigli, di valori vissuti da un uomo di nome Gesù. I Suoi racconti vi metteranno davanti a riflessioni tanto semplici quanto profonde, vi trasporteranno in un mondo magico dove tutto è possibile, nel quale amore e pace si coniugano con vita serena nonostante le tribolazioni. Gesù non vi nasconde il dolore, non dice che tutto sarà facile, non parla di una vita agiata e tranquilla, ma vi da gli strumenti per affrontare le pene che vi attanagliano, vi fornisce la chiave per imboccare la porta che si aprirà su un mondo tanto fatato quanto reale. Non solo il Paradiso, nel quale molti non credono, quanto la vita di tutti i giorni vista da un'altra prospettiva.Leggiamo tante cose stupide durante la nostra esistenza, dagli opuscoli pubblicitari ai romanzetti rosa, dai rotocalchi che raccontano i fatti e i misfatti delle persone in vista, ai consigli delle stelle. Anche se non credete in Dio la lettura del Vangelo non vi farà certo male e qualcuno di voi, potrà trovare riparo tra le Sue pagine, così come gli uccelli del cielo trovano ristoro tra i rami di un albero, che un tempo era un semplice semino che racchiudeva in sé tutta la forza della natura. Un Libro che duemila anni fa era nella mente di un uomo umile che racchiudeva in sé tutta l'essenza di Dio.

HOMILIA DEL DOMINGO UNDECIMO TIEMPO ORDINARIO CONSTRUIR NUESTRA VIDA CRISTIANA SOBRE LA ROCA, CRISTO

(Marcos, 4,26-36) SOLO POR HOY

"Un hombre que echa simiente en la tierra..." Son muy conocidas las parábolas de Jesús sobre la siembra del Reino de Dios. Lo impor-tante en la vida es sembrar. Puede parecer que la semilla que se siembra es pequeña e insignificante. Algo aparente-mente ineficaz y de poca importancia. Pero si lo que sembramos encierra la verdad y la bondad de Dios, esa semilla lleva dentro de sí el poder de transformar al hombre. Hace 25 años moría por estas fechas aquel Papa bueno que fue Juan XXIII. Un hombre sencillo que sabía sembrar bondad sin complicarse excesivamente la vida. Con esa “sana despreocupación» del labrador de la parábola que siembra sabiendo que la tierra dará su fruto. A él se le atribuye un pequeño “decálogo» lleno de sabias sugerencias. Llegó hace algún tiempo a mis manos y lo ofrezco hoy a los lectores en recuerdo agradecido a su persona. Son pequeñas semillas que pueden dar su fruto. 1. Sólo por hoy trataré de vivir exclusivamente el día, sin querer resolver el problema de mi existencia todo de una vez. 2. Sólo por hoy tendré el máximo cuidado de mi aspecto; no criticaré a nadie y no pre-tenderé mejorar o corregir a nadie sino a mí mismo. 3. Sólo por hoy seré feliz en la certeza de que he sido creado para la felicidad, no sólo en el otro mundo, sino en éste también. 4. Sólo por hoy me adaptaré a las circunstancias, sin pretender que las circunstancias se adapten todas a mis deseos. 5. Sólo por hoy dedicaré diez minutos de mi tiempo a una buena lectura, recordando que, como el alimento es necesario para la vida del cuerpo, así la buena lectura es necesaria para la vida del alma. 6. Sólo por hoy haré una buena acción y no lo diré a nadie. 7. Sólo por hoy haré por lo menos una cosa que no deseo hacer, y si me sintiera ofendido en mis sentimientos, procuraré que nadie se entere. 8. Sólo por hoy me haré un programa detallado. Quizá no lo cumpliré cabalmente, pero lo redactaré. Y me guardaré de dos calamidades: la prisa y la indecisión. 9. Sólo por hoy creeré firmemente, aunque las circunstancias demuestren lo contrario, que la buena providencia de Dios se ocupa de mí como si nadie más existiera en el mundo. 10. Sólo por hoy no tendré temores. De manera particular no tendré miedo de gozar de lo que es bello y de creer en la bondad.
