THE WIND AND THE SEA Living along the shores of Lake Superior—the “big lake,”

as the locals call it—you can often hear the advice, “Respect

the lake; don’t take it for granted.” People who know Lake Su-

perior respect its power and watch out for its many moods.

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 dan-

gerous waves by terrible winds.

But these mighty agents are subject to God. The sailor and

the fisher all respect the water. Even more, they respect the

awesome power of the Maker of wind and sea.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION When you are thinking about traditions in the Church, 1563

is a “watershed” year. The Council of Trent began a reform of

the liturgy that put an end to old practices and set many of our

present practices in place. For the first time, engaged people

were absolutely required to appear before their parish priest,

and to exchange consent in his presence along with two wit-

nesses. To this day, Catholics are obliged to this form, namely:

to marry another Catholic in the presence of a priest (or deacon)

and two witnesses, unless dispensed from the law. The Council

really didn’t forbid customs and ceremonies that added life to

the celebration, but the mood of the times was dark and some-

what austere. Practices like the blessing of the marriage bed or

using a canopy for the nuptial blessing started to fade away, as

did the custom of bringing the presents for the couple to the

church and the addition of fiddlers and jugglers to the proces-

sion. The Council of Trent tried to preserve local customs, but

the long‑term effect was to standardize celebrations every-

where in the world. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co

ON FATHERHOOD

One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters. —George Herbert

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 21, 2015

Whoever is in Christ is a new creation.

— 2 Corinthians 5:17

Images of Dad 4 Years Old - My Daddy can do anything.

7 Years Old - My Daddy knows a lot. A whole lot!

9 Years Old - My Dad doesn’t really know quite everything.

12 Years Old - Naturally, Dad doesn’t know that either.

14 Years Old - Dad? He’s hopelessly old-fashioned.

21 Years Old - The old man? He’s way out of date.

25 Years Old - Dad might know a little bit about it.

35 Years Old - Before we decide, let’s get Dad’s opinion.

60 Years Old - Wonder what Dad would have thought about it.

65 Years Old - Wish I could talk it over with Dad just one more time.

Take time on this special day to thank dad and love him for who he is.

Before you know it, you’ll be 65. Happy Father’s Day!

Summer Giving

During the summer months, we have noticed that the week-

ly collections are generally down. Summer vacations, fun

and traveling often take St. Basil members away from our

parish family for some much needed rest and relaxation.

However, please keep in mind that St. Basil is here 24/7,

365 days a year. We still need your support to keep things

going, even when you are elsewhere. And

please...remember to include your envelope number on any

checks that you may send in or drop into the collection bas-

ket. Also, you can call Sheri

Thomas and find out how easy it is

to sign up for on-line giving.

Thank you for your

continuous support and

have a wonderful

summer!

Peter’s Pence

Collection -

Collection for

the Holy Father

Next week our diocese

will take up the Peter’s

Pence Collection, which

provides Pope Francis with the funds he needs to carry out

his charitable works around the world. The proceeds benefit

the most disadvantaged: victims of war, oppression, and

disasters. Join our Holy Father as a witness to charity to

those who are suffering. For more information on the Pe-

ter’s Pence Collection, visit www.usccb.org/ppc.

Life and Dignity Sunday is Next Weekend

The bishops of California have established the Catholic Leg-

islative Network (CLN) to develop a strong, clear, moral

voice for life and justice in our state during a very difficult

time. Next weekend during Life & Dignity Sunday, all pa-

rishioners will have an opportunity to register for the Net-

work. You will find a one-page description of the newly

created advocacy network in this week’s bulletin. Please

read it, pray about it (and for it), and come prepared next

week to register for this important new effort.

St. Basil Conference “Teacher, do you not care that we are

perishing?” Of course Jesus cares when

we are in crisis! And so do the benefac-

tors and volunteers of our St. Basil SVdP

Society. While we can’t provide assis-

tance to everyone that calls, we help as

many as we can because the love of

Christ impels us. We bring them a little

calmness in their storm. Last month we

helped 90 families = 350 of our brothers and sisters with

emergency food. Food Locker Wish List: Jelly

Please pray with our Lazarus Ministry for the recently

deceased members of our parish community especially:

Artemio Mapote, John Ward and

Grace Gatdula
