Sunken ships and boats crushed into kindling are testimonies to what the lake can do. The readings of this Sunday evoke our memories of the lake, of the mighty Mississippi River, or of the ocean itself. Who but God can control these mighty waters and set limits to their advance? The lake described in today’s Gospel was a body of water subject to sudden storms and churned into dangerous waves by terrible winds. But these mighty agents are subject to God. The sailor, the fisher all respect the water. Even more, they respect the awesome power of the Maker of wind and sea. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

We would like to thank you for your generosity. 3rd week of June 2006 $8,429.04 Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time June 25, 2006 Whoever is in Christ is a new creation. — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Twelfth Sunday In Ordinary Time SHARING I have been enjoying watching some of the World Cup Soccer games. The standard of soccer has improved worldwide, especially in the United States. Companies are making money from sports but they also put so much back into the game. When I coached soccer I found so many other coaches willing to share their ideas and insights into the game. Their generosity and their helpfulness made it very difficult for me to give up coaching. Coaches share because they want to help every young person, it’s good for the game, and no matter how old we get we still have so much to learn from each other. Over the years I have been fortunate to know so many people who have shared their tastes in good music, good movies, good restaurants and most of all good books. Not too long ago, a friend asked me if I would like some of Carl Ruben’s books. Carl was Jewish. His father was Jewish and from New York, his mother was Catholic and from County Clare, Ireland. Each year he came to Christmas Midnight Mass to pray for his mom. Two weeks before he died he had asked me if he could take instruction in the Catholic Church. I do not know if he intended to become Catholic or if he wanted to understand his heritage and Catholicism a little more. His selection of books was phenomenal. There were books on Judaism, the Classics, World History, American Folklore, Irish Literature and a selection that totally surprised me—biographies and books on Pope John XXIII. Now as I read the daily meditations of Pope John XXIII I am blessed by the pope’s messages. After my friend Msgr. Higgins died, I received many of his books. Through Monsignor’s and Carl’s books I keep hearing their advice and encouragement. The Good Book tells us not to hoard but to share. God Bless, Fr. Mike Catholics, Three­Timers Three timing Catholics appear in Church on only three occasions, at their baptism, marriage and burial. When they are being hatched, matched and dispatched, being wheeled in either a pram, in a limousine, or in a hearse. Page 3 ST.
