PASTOR'S CORNER - FR. LOU VALLONE

JUNE 17, 2007

This is Fathers' Day, and honoring an individual's request that I keep things light, and not too sentimental for the men, I offer these real, true to life letters to He who is the Father of All, and to whom we dedicate our earthly fathers:

Dear God,
It rained for our whole vacation and is my father mad!
He said some things about You that people are not
supposed to say, but I hope You will not hurt him
anyway.
Your friend.
(But I'm not going to tell you who I am)

Dear God,
Instead of letting people die and making new ones,
why don't You just keep the ones You have now?

Dear God,
Who draws the lines around the countries?

Dear God,
I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church!
Is that okay?

Dear God,
Why is Sunday school on Sunday? I thought it was
supposed to be our day of rest.

Dear God,
Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything
before. You can look it up.

Dear God,
If we come back as something - please don't let me be
Jennifer Horton because I hate her.

Dear God,
If You give me a genie lamp like Aladdin, I will give
You anything You want except my money or my chess
set.

Dear God,
What does it mean You are a jealous God? I thought
you already had everything

Dear God,
Did you really mean "do unto others as they do unto
you", because if you did then I am going to fix my
brother.

Dear God,
Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for
was a puppy.

Happy Fathers' Day to all Fathers with love!!
