What sign can you do?

John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

First Communion Day

Today was the big day for #1. He did great and so did all the family. Here are some pictures from the day.





Mimi, Grandpa Dave, Anthony and Catherine.

Grandma and Grandpa Hahn with Anthony.

...with uncle Dustin...

another little man...only about 4 years until we're doing this with him.

#2 got all dressed up for the occasion. His turn next year...

One big happy (except for #3-see lower right) family.

Even uncle Bill (aka Father William Hahn) made it for the Mass to concelebrate.
After Mass we went back home to grill and feast.
Cake by Mom, icing by Anthony, decorating by Dad.

After lunch an intense soccer game broke out with the "boys" (yes, Fr. Hahn often plays soccer in his black pants and shirt - no collar).

Action shot, notice the ball by the window....

#4 coming back from climbing trees.
