Saint Dunstan Catholic Church Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time June 15th, 2008 Bulletin
		“Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.”
		— Matthew 10:8b

	In today’s Gospel, Jesus sends his disciples on a mission. He was preparing them to take over when he would no longer be with them. They were to be Christ to others. As Saint Teresa of Avila wrote: “Christ has no body now on earth but yours. No hands but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he pours out compassion on the world.” The responsibility of handing on the faith rests with all of us but especially with parents. Parents cannot foist it on others, be they priest, teacher or catechist. There is a beautiful prayer at the end of the baptismal liturgy that expresses this truth very well: “God is the giver of all life, human and divine. May he bless the father of this child. He and his wife will be the first teachers of their child in the ways of faith.” Parents are the first teachers and the best teachers. A little boy of five was left alone with his father at bedtime. It had never happened before. After some maneuvering and a lot of fun, the father finally got the little fellow into his nightclothes, and was about to lift him into bed when the child said, “But Daddy, I have to say my prayers.” He knelt down beside the bed, joined his hands, raised his eyes to heaven and prayed: “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” That was his usual prayer. But tonight he looked up at his dad, then raised his eyes to heaven and prayed, “Dear God, make me great, big, and good like my daddy. Amen.” In a moment he was in bed, and in five minutes asleep. And then the father knelt by his son’s bedside and prayed, “Dear Lord, make me a great, big and good man like my boy thinks I am.” Happy Father’s Day!
