Father’s Day
Wishing all men a Terrific Father’s Day! May the sun shine brightly as you nap,
May the snacks be plentiful, May everything be quiet and unusually polite,
May you be treated with the utmost respect…. May you have the best-because you deserve no less.
from the staffs of St. Joseph and St. Paul Parishes
5 From the Pastor
My Friends in Christ,
There’s a city in Germany called Weinsberg. Overlooking the city is a high hill on top of which stands an ancient fort. The fort is huge. The townspeople of Weinsberg tell an interesting legend about that fortress and that hill.
It seems that back in the 15th century, in the days of chivalry and honor, an enemy encircled that hill and sealed off all the townspeople inside the fort. The enemy commander sent word to the fortress, saying that he would allow the women and children to leave and go free before launching his devastating attack. After further negotiations, the enemy commander also agreed to let each woman take to freedom with the most valuable possession she owned, provided she could carry it.
You can imagine the enemy army’s surprise when a few minutes later, the women marched out of the fortress, each one carrying her husband on her aback! Blessed is the family whose most valuable possession is his or her family. To the extent that they treasure each other, the children will treasure their parents as the parents do their children.
This weekend we as a nation celebrate Father’s Day. I remember when I was back in Pinckneyville, I was invited to a family’s house and pool on a Father’s Day. It was a great day. The thing that stuck out the most to me was when the young first grade daughter of the family I was visiting said, “Daddy, how come there’s a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day, but no Daughter’s Day?” The dad said, “Oh there is honey. It’s the Sunday after Father’s Day.” And since then that family celebrates “Daughter’s Day,” even though that young girl is now 21 years old!
Being a good husband and father, a wife and mother, or a daughter and son, is not something that just happens. It is something that we have to work at. There is no perfect dad or mom or son or daughter. Nor does God expect such perfection. We do the best with what we have, limitations and all.
I’ve heard it said that to have a child is to decide forever to have your heart walk around outside your body. We want to give our children what we didn’t have. But let’s not forget to give them what we did have: our faith and love. To all dads, grandpas, step-dads and those men who have acted as fathers to us, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
Fr. Brian

GOSPEL MEDITATION
June 21, 2020 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time
There are many things of which we can be afraid: being rebuked, rejection, anger, being challenged, having to defend our-selves, standing alone, insecurity, failure, and even death. For some, identifying and overcoming their fears is a daunting task. Regardless of how much they may want to break the cycle of fear, they find that they remain close friends with old and dys-functional behavioral habits and norms. Maybe what they really fear is change. There are many who gravitate to the familiar and comfortable, and find safety and security in doing so, even if they remain mired in mediocrity. Human beings have to learn that there is life beyond the “what has always been” and that happiness and depth are possible when old structures and sys-tems have to be left behind. Can you leave the near and dear, the comfortable and familiar, the safe and secure, and discover new opportunities? The shear thought of doing so can bring on feelings of apprehension, intense anger, resentment, defensiveness, reluctance, resistance, and even apathy. If we have to be responsible for making the change, cowardice can creep in. If someone else is to blame for making the change, any number of possible negative reactions are possible. In the end, only one thing is required and that is God. If I can rely on and deepen my relationship with God, especially in the Eucharist along with a community of believers, then little else is of great concern. We have to figure out what is really important. It is not always what we think. The Gospel calls us to stretch ourselves and try new things, not to remain stuck and stagnant in familiar ways. We are asked to live life more deliberately, radically, and intentionally. We are asked to leave the familiar behind and learn to live with changing, and often limiting, human structures. We cannot get too caught up in the physical, ideological, or structural systems we are used to. The Holy Spirit always leads and guides us. If we trust this, we will find ourselves doing things we never thought we could do. Always seek the path to joy and love. They keep us from falling victim to our fears and from seeking the nostalgic crutches we think we need to achieve a sense of well-being and happiness.
