Fathers’ Day
“Those who do not stand for something will fall for anything.” (attributed to Alexander Hamilton)
In this age of accusations, deception, made-up “facts”, misrepresented statistics and outright lies, it’s very hard to learn what is true or not. Far too many people cherry pick stories from various sources because these sources
support conclusions already reached. “Don’t confuse me with facts-my mind is already made up,” is attributed to several politicians over the last century. But it is just as great an error to not be skeptical or to ask questions, to do our own research. It is my belief that so much harm is done to so many people and to society in general because most of us are simply too overwhelmed with “information”, which is often opinion disguised as facts.
For me, I simply need to prod myself to not become lazy or complacent. It’s often too easy to listen to a favorite commentator or read my usual news sources and think what I am told to think or feel. The Canadian media philosopher, Marshall McLuhan, is quoted in many places during the last fifty years, citing society’s tendency to believe and buy into whatever they’re told. “A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.” Because we are bombarded daily with an overload of information, we end up often caving into the noise and not thinking for ourselves.
As I look at the exchanges between Jesus and the Pharisees and Sadducees, he was most upset with them because they had lost the ability to think critically. As with today’s society, these men had determined that anyone who disagreed with them was dangerous. It’s one of the main political reasons behind many crucifixions of the day, not just Christ’s. Even now, two thousand years later, we see people who have no idea of how to have disagreements and debates without resorting to brute force.
It is important that we listen to Jesus first and foremost in our lives. He is our guide who is unafraid of sincere questions, but who despises manipulation. In learning from him how to deal with the mess in our world, we would do well to go back and read about Christ’s temptation in the desert. Jesus knew what and who he stood for. It’s why he never fell for anything.
Father Joe Forcelle, pastor
Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
June 21, 2020
Jesus said to the twelve, “Everyone who
acknowledges me before others, I will
acknowledge before my heavenly Father.
But whoever denies me before others, I
will deny before my heavenly Father.”

Message of Harmony and Love In the wake of the current events ranging from the pandemic to the divide that is not only gripping our nation but our entire world at this time, Bishop DeGrood prays for us all with a message of harmony and love. www.sfcatholic.org It's God's love that is going to help us find harmony where there is great disharmony and injustice, much like Jesus and His suffering and the great injustice He endured. God bless you all.

A Family Perspective By Bud Ozar Jesus says “Do not be afraid” three times in today’s gospel and reminds us “all concealed secrets will be revealed.” Do not be afraid to acknowledge problems in your family. If they remain “hidden in darkness” they will “destroy body and
soul.” Healing, understanding and hope are found only “in the light” of openness. “Do not be afraid.”

Words of Wisdom Retreat. The retreat is Saturday, July 25th, 9:00am to 4:00pm, at the Abbey of the Hills. Lunch is included, and recommended health guidelines will be followed. During Words of Wisdom participants will learn from master Scott by reading his book, A Father Who Keeps His Promises, and then gathering with people from around the diocese for a day of discussion and prayer to unpack the book.
