CHALLENGING GOD Ancient Judaism held in highest regard those figures in its tradition who were willing to challenge God. This was particularly characteristic of the two patriarchs most highly esteemed, Abraham and Moses. This boldness in addressing God is present in todays story from Genesis, when Abraham attempts to save the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. This resonates with the Gospel passagethe Lords Prayersince it was truly bold of Jesus to address the Lord God as Abba. Our familiarity with this prayer most likely makes us unaware of this. The boldness of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus in addressing God is an expression of a deep, intimate relationship. We tend to argue most heatedly with and speak most tenderly to those whom we love the most. This very human trait is what generates the wide variety of emotions expressed toward God throughout the psalms. Hopefully our own relationship with God is intimate enough that we dont only come asking for favors or with heads bowed meekly, but also ready to question and argue, to praise joyfully, and to embrace our relationship with God lovingly.

Last week we looked at welcoming our children as the individuals they are. This week we look at the complementary spiritual practice of being willing to let our children go. Letting go starts early: the first time we leave our child with a babysitter, child-care provider, or preschool teacher. And before you know it, theyre driving on their own, heading off to a job, or going away to college. Letting go graciously with trust in the goodness of Godcan be a challenge for parents. Luckily, we can look to the example of God, our Father, who both welcomes us into life and, by the gift of free will, lets us go. We gain comfort knowing that, like God, our hearts are never far from the children we launch into life. Tom McGrath

After each Mass this weekend Missionary Sisters of Christ the King will be selling our favorite - Cream Pie Slices.
Collected funds will be donated toward the statues of the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph with the Infant Jesus, shrubs and flowers that will be planted to beautify their surrounding area.

Your support will be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy!
