This is a commandment with a promise: If you honor your father and mother, ‘things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on earth’” (Deuteronomy 5:16). As we celebrate Mother’s Day this month and Father’s Day in June, may we heed this command of God penned in the Bible — honor thy father and mother. What does it mean to honor our mother and father? I heard one priest explain it as honoring them for the faith they passed down to their children. Some theologians say that the fifth commandment links the first four commandments with the remaining five. Commandments one through four teach us how to love and respect God. Commandments five through ten show us how to love and respect our fellow man. Proper respect toward our fellow man begins in the home. The fifth commandment teaches us how to honor and respect our parents. Honoring our parents includes how we communicate with our parents — the tone we use, the words we choose as well as our body language. Perhaps this month and next, you can think of ways to honor your father and mother. Here are some ideas. • With the Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift, write a note of gratitude. Thank your parents for all they have taught you and given you over the years. • Share your favorite stories and life lessons from your parents to your children. • Make time to spend time with Mom and Dad; we all have busy schedules but our parents will not be around forever. Invite them over for dinner or take them out for lunch. • Go to church with them or even a weekend retreat. Embrace them with the faith by attending a religious event together. • Pray together. Carve out time once a week or once a month to do the Rosary or a Novena with your parents. • Go for a walk. Some of your best talks could transpire from a walk and you incorporate exercise as well. • Just be present. Let your parents know that you are always a phone call away – always there to be there when they need you.

obituary Albertine Kallabat Albertine Kallabat (nee Ankawi) died April 1, 2013. She was 83 years old, and a current resident of Farmington Hills, MI. Albertine was born December 12, 1929 in Baghdad, Iraq. Albertine married her beloved husband, the late Salim, on May 7, 1955. The couple and their young family moved to Detroit in 1966 with little more than strong family values and a hard work ethic. Family was, by far, the most important thing to Albertine. Besides always being there for anything her children needed, Albertine always was there to support her extended family as well. She was regularly sought out to give great advice. Albertine also supported her family financially starting at a young age by making clothes. Whether it was for family or to sell she would make anything from pajamas to formal gowns. She was also an amazing cook and Faiz (Frank) Marougi Kattola Faiz (Frank) Marougi Kattola, son of Marougi Kattola and Kamila Kattola, was born on October 15, 1956 and died on February 28, 2013. He was a hard-working man and an amazing father to three children, Julian, Kayra and Joseph. He was also the oldest of five siblings; therefore when his father died he became the man of the house at the young age of 22 and had to take care of his two sisters, Faiza Kiriakoza and Fatin Maizy, and his hosted many family gettogethers while cooking fantastic meals. Faith was one other very important part of Albertine’s life. She was an active member of Mother of God Chaldean Catholic Church, and that community was a vital part of her life. She was also active with the Chaldean American Ladies of Charity. Albertine was a simple woman who did not worry or care about material possessions. She loved and cared most for her family and her church. She was the devoted wife of the late Salim; beloved mother of Bushra Kashat (Mike), Yvonne Yasso (Moukles), Bashar, Ricky, and the late George; loving grandmother of Skyler Salim Kallabat; Michelle, Michael, and Miranda Yasso; and Heidi Kashat; sister of Suad Husaynu (the late Hakki), the late Ghanim Ankawi (Nasra), Tarik Ankawi (Muna), Samira Dabish (the late Zuhair), Yousif Ankawi (Nada), and Raad Ankawi (Vicki). two brothers, Freddy and Alfred Kattola. Faiz was a great and honest man who was great with his hands. If anything was broken or needed to be repaired he could do it without a problem. He was also a huge follower of the Lord; he went to Mother of God every Monday night for Bible study. We didn’t know you would be with your mother and sister so soon but your time was reached and we greatly appreciate the time we got to have with you. Rest in paradise, we all love you.
