The Bible Speaks
by Pastor Julian P. Harris
Sunday, June 15, the Nation will
honor fathers with the annual
celebration of Father’s Day.
Fathers certainly deserve a day to
relax and to put aside for a time
the heavy burden of work and
worries that they carry. Most
fathers are, I believe, great
worriers. They can’t show it, for
our sakes, but they feel the
pressure to perform, to provide
and to protect. They live under
the daily pressure to go forth and
to battle in conditions over which
they have little control. Yet they
present to their families a facade
of mastery. That is, after all, part
of the fatherly mystique—the
desire of fathers everywhere to be
seen as the unvanquished
protector of the family, the
benevolent provider of all good
things, the safe harbor against all
harm and all fears.
Despite all the assurances to the
contrary, our economy is
sputtering. Fathers worry about
making ends meet. They feel a
sense of growing uneasiness about children, which is why they push
their children to do their best.

Only a dad, with a tired face,

Bringing little of gold or fame,
To show how well he has played the game,
But glad in his heart that his own rejoice
To see him come, and to hear his voice.
Only a dad, with a brood of four,
One of ten million men or more.
Plodding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and the scorns of life,
With never a whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home await.
Only a dad, neither rich nor proud,
Merely one of the surging crowd
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent, whenever the harsh condemn,
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only a dad, but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children small,
Doing, with courage stern and grim,
The deeds that his father did for him.
This is the line that for him I pen,
Only a dad, but the best of men.

MEDICAL MISSION 2014
Dr. Aurea Tomeski, MD and her able assistants provide
physical exams, medical assessments and treatments for
sickness, disease, malnutrition and disabilities
associated with advanced age and hardships of life.
The Father Julian Harris Communal Center in the
mountain village of Las Moras, Honduras is the focus of
our medical outreach from St. Thomas More Parish.
Our 1987 Ford F-150 pick-up finally broke down after
many years of good service on the mountain trails. Our
great volunteers were not deterred, but improvised by
bringing our medical supplies and team to the clinic on
dirt bikes!
Fr. Alex Vargas is an accomplished dirt-biker and
Dr. Tomeski has overcome her fear of riding.
Our Medical Mission Team is the best—the most caring,
happy and humble people I have ever known. Many
blessings and graces to all of our
St. Thomas More Parishioners and Friends
