.. And God did. “For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God”. (1 Pet. 3:18 NIV)

Waking God

A show of hands, ladies and gentlemen. Have any of you been given the silent treatment and had absolutely no idea why?

On the flipside, have any of you have sworn you’re not going to demean yourself by explaining, for the thousandth time, that you need extra help with the kids before soccer practice, or that you feel ignored when your spouse doesn’t ask how your day went?

But sadly, love doesn’t give you the ability to read minds. And in the end, we learn the lesson again and again, we have to verbalize our feelings, our needs, our wants. Expecting your partner to anticipate your needs is guaranteed to end badly.

It’s the same with God, even though, oddly enough, He does have the ability to read minds. But He still desires us to explain ourselves to Him, doesn’t He? “I’m feeling scared of this.” “I’m really worried about that.” “God, I think I need x, y and z. Help me. Please.”

Jesus slept on that boat, as it was tossed and turned by the waves, until his disciples woke him. “Why were you sleeping?” they ask. Well, geniuses, he was sleeping because they hadn’t woken him up yet. They had wasted time cowering in fear, waiting for him to act. They gave him the silent treatment and they didn’t even know it.

God doesn’t desire us to verbalize our needs as a way of keeping us submissive. He’s not that petty. What He desires is the communication — that’s what really counts. That act of opening yourself up, of becoming vulnerable, of relying on Him, trusting Him. If it feels like God is asleep in your life, ask yourself this, have you tried waking Him up?

Despertar a Dios

A mano alzada, Señorías. ¿Alguno de ustedes ha recibido el tratamiento silencioso y no tenía absolutamente ninguna idea de por qué?

Por otro lado, ¿alguno de ustedes ha jurado que no se va a degradar a sí mismo explicando, por milésima vez, que necesita ayuda adicional con los niños antes de la práctica de fútbol, o que se siente ignorado cuando su cónyuge no pregunta cómo fue su día?

Pero tristemente, el amor no te da la capacidad de leer las mentes. Y al final, aprendemos la lección una y otra vez, tenemos que verbalizar nuestros sentimientos, nuestras necesidades, nuestros deseos. Esperar que su pareja se anticipe a sus necesidades está garantizado para terminar mal.

— Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ©LPi

A girls’ first true love is her father.

A son’s first hero, a daughter’s first love.

The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get.

When my father didn’t have my hand, he had my back.

The greatest mark of a father is how he treat his children when no one is looking.

My father didn’t do anything unusual. He only did what dads are supposed to do—be there. Shutterfly

Feast Day: 22 June

St. Paulinus of Nola is traditionally credited with the introduction of bells to Christian worship and helped resolve the disputed election of Pope Boniface I.

His renunciation of his wealth and station in favor of an ascetic and phil- anthropic life was held up as an example by many of his contemporar- ies—including SS Augustine, Jerome, Martin, and Ambrose—and he was subsequently venerated as a saint.

Gregory the Great recounts a popular story that alleges that when the Vandals raided Campania, a poor widow came to Paulinus for help when her only son had been carried off by the son-in-law of the Vandal king. Having exhausted his resources in ransoming other captives, Paulinus said, "Such as I have I give thee", and went to Africa to exchange places with the widow's son. There Paulinus was accepted in place of the widow's son, and employed as gardener. After a time the king found out that his son-in-law's slave was the great Bishop of Nola. He at once set him free, granting him also the freedom of all the captive townsmen of Nola. According to Pope Benedict XVI, "the historical truth of this episode is disputed, but the figure of a Bishop with a great heart who knew how to make himself close to his people in the sorrowful trials of the barbarian invasions lives on.
