June 21, 2015 - Ascension School
A Stewardship Parish, Sharing Our God -Given Gifts in Service 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time - June 21, 2015 Take time this week to reflect on today’s readings: First Reading — Job 38:1, 8-11; Psalm — Psalm 107:23-26, 28-31; Second Reading — 2 Corinthians 5:14-17; Gospel — Mark 4:35-41 THE WIND AND THE SEA READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Gn 12:1-9; Ps 33:12-13, 18-20, 22; Mt 7:1-5 Tuesday: Gn 13:2, 5-18; Ps 15:2-4ab, 5; Mt 7:6, 12-14 Wednesday: Vigil: Jer 1:4-10; Ps 71:1-6ab, 15ab, 17; 1 Pt 1:8-12; Lk 1:5-17 Day: Is 49:1-6; Ps 139:1-3, 13-15; Acts 13:22-26; Lk 1:57-66, 80 Thursday: Gn 16:1-12, 15-16 [6b-12, 15-16]; Ps 106:1b-5; Mt 7:21-29 Friday: Gn 17:1, 9-10, 15-22; Ps 128:1-5; Mt 8:1-4 Saturday: Gn 18:1-15; Lk 1:46-50, 53-55; Mt 8:5-17 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 Superior 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 dangerous 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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Greetings! What a wonderful sight to see, last Sunday at our 11 am Mass, with our Sanctuary surrounded with a sea of blue and white tshirts of our 2015 ASP Teens and Adult Leaders. I thank ALL of you for your faith witness in your compassionate service to the needy in Appalachia. I won’t be here when you leave and return but please know I will pray for you during your ASP week. Be safe, and be sure to get some much needed rest when you return safely home. May God bless you in your good and compassionate work! Thank you Family of Ascension for your prayerful and financial support of the ASP trip. I thank you for all of your generosity in participating in the stock sales, flower sales, the car washes, Lou Malnati days and the Easter Lamb cake sales. Fr. Hurlbert will not be asking for a SOX design on his cake for next year but rather a CUBS design (hint-hint which city team he prefers). My family always enjoyed the SOX decoration before devouring the delicious cakes. Thanks ASP Teens and Adults! Thank you Rosemarie Nowicki for your leadership in last weekend’s Blood Drive. Thanks to all who donated their blood in giving life to others. Thanks to our volunteers for your service. Thanks to Bob Kutella and our many parish volunteers, our annual Summer Lunch Program is off to a very good start. Thanks Bob and to ALL of you for your kindness and compassion. The next summer lunch will be on the 4th of July. Congratulations to our new Pastor, Fr. James Hurlbert on the occasion of his 25th Anniversary as a priest. May God continue to bless you, Fr. Hurlbert, in your priestly ministry, especially now as you become the 10th Pastor of Ascension Parish. May you be as happy as I was here in my Pastorate. God’s blessings on your Priest Ordination Anniversary. Congratulations to Deacon Roger Vandervest on the occasion of his 10 years as a Deacon. Thanks Roger for your service to us as well as to the Archdiocese of Chicago. You and Betty make a wonderful Deacon Couple. Ordination anniversary best wishes go out to two of our former Associates, Fr. Tom Baldonieri and Fr. John Moulder. God’s blessings to you in your ministry. We are for sure now in the Ordinary Time of our Church Year with the wearing of green vestments and the green banners hanging from the ceiling in our church. For the next six weekends we will be reading from the Old Testament Prophets of Ezekiel, Job, Amos and Jeremiah, which in one way or another, are linked with the Gospel of St. Mark which we will be reading from. The Old Testament Prophets refer to the ‘Messenger’ to come, which of course is Jesus Christ. St. Mark centers on the theme of Jesus Christ ‘The Messenger’ of the New (Continued on page 3) J U N E 2 1 , 2 0 1 5 — P A G E 2 Testament who will have authority over sin and death. The ‘Mosaic’ of the readings will show God’s patience with God’s ‘Chosen Ones’ forgiving their false gods, selfishness and harshness of heart. The readings will remind all of God’s people of the love God has for us. They will suggest many practical ways in how we in our everyday living can find ways to stay ‘in God’s good graces’. As David P. wrote a few weeks back, there is nothing ordinary about Ordinary Time. Please keep returning your Parish Directory Information and your surveys to our Parish Center via the weekend Offertory collection basket, or by dropping it off at the Parish Center. Your response has been wonderful as we have received hundreds back so far. So thank you so very much for your cooperation. We have been invited by the OPRF Community of Congregations and the Historical Society of OPRF to participate in their annual House of Worship Walk on Sunday, June 28th beginning at 2 pm. For further information please see page five. Speaking of churches, we also have a ‘standing invitation’ from our Sharing Parish of St. Martin de Porres to join them and others, on the remaining Wednesday’s of this month and next, from 6-7 pm, on the corner of Laramie and Adams, to pray for an end of all this senseless killing and violence especially of our young people. As I have shared before, the readings of the names in the Prayer of the Faithful on the weekend because of this violence is heartbreaking and so very sad. Upon further review, the damage done to that air conditioning part was caused by a power surge which severely damaged the wire. Because of that the Archdiocese is submitting an insurance claim for this $16,100.00 part. Let us hope that they will accept our claim, and with our $1,000.00 deductible, the ‘financial hit’ won’t be as bad and frustrating as originally thought. The Insurance Company assures me that they will get back to me in a timely fashion. One of the recurring themes of the survey was your response to my weekly letter. Thank you for your positive remarks and your sensitivity and compassion toward me by not mentioning my attempt at a weekly joke or pun. I enjoyed doing J U N E 2 1 , this weekly letter. I did it at Queen of the Universe and I plan on doing it at St. Matthias. I have already received a deadline from them, as we have received a deadline for our Dome publication, for the weekend of the 4th and 5th of July. Sadly, for St. Matthias, I also plan on doing my letter with attempts at a weekly joke or pun. They have no idea what is coming their way! Anyway, thanks for your positive feedback and I always enjoyed doing this weekly letter. I tried my best to keep you informed the best I could on what were the ‘latest’ goings on with our Family of Ascension. I thank you for the many offers of a place to stay for next weekend but there is furniture that will remain in the parsonage for Fr. Hurlbert. Not all of the furniture was mine, some of it belongs to the parish. Thank you for your kind offers. As I have said each week, I thank you for your continued financial support and generosity. Remember that our fiscal year ends on June 30th, so any additional financial support you can give before the end of the month would be greatly appreciated. I thank you for ALL that you do for our Family of Ascension. I thank you for ALL that you do for God’s people here and far away, such as in Appalachia. I pray for you every day. I will always pray for you every day. Passengers that were on a United Flight to London had to spend a night in the U.S. Army barracks and the Crew stayed in a fancy hotel due to engine trouble. The passengers were not happy about their stay. United is saying that, at least, they had single rooms. United was using the Army slogan: ‘One Army one person’. Have a good week. And again, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY TO ALL PARISH DADS!! GOD’S BLESSINGS TO ALL. 2 0 1 5 — P A G E 3 A Blessing for Fathers We praise you, Father of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Joseph, holy guardian of the Divine Child, and the first to teach Jesus the Torah. Send your Holy Spirit upon our fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, fathers-in-law, uncles and all who have shown us fatherly love. Heal their pains and disappointments. Forgive all that needs to be forgiven. Give to them the good that they have given others. Welcome into your arms those who have died. Fill this world, O God, with a father’s love! We ask this through your Son Jesus Christ, who taught us to pray to you as Abba. He lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, who is Father of the poor, one God forever and ever. Amen.

A note from Julie Krakora Happy Father’s Day to each dad who is a fabulous example of love, faith, and service to your children! On this day, I offer par ticular thanks to some special father s who have been a tr emendous help for ASP and support for my time in youth ministry! As this month of June comes to an end, so too all of our fundraising for ASP and my time here at Ascension as the Director of Youth Ministry. A hallmark of Ascension Parish is strong witness to be faith in action through social justice and a desire to be in solidarity with those less fortunate and in pain. May this example lead all of you, and especially our youth, into a strong membership in this community and deeper into our shared Catholic faith. It is only fitting that I close with the blessing we gave to those at 11am Mass on June 14th with ALL of you. Thank you for your witness, for your support, and prayers for me and our youth! Lord God, as an instrument of faith and grace, the membership of Ascension parish has been present to support our teens and adults in our desire to walk and become more like You. While we serve in Your name and in the name of our parish community, bless those here with genuine inner strength to always seek and live your ways at home. Allow each parishioner to feel the joyful gift of your Spirit in their giving and nourish their souls with the evidence of your love constantly alive through their actions and heartfelt service. We ask this Jesus, in your name. Amen. SCHOLARSHIP TIME !!! Kathleen Adams Scholarship application forms are now available at the Parish Center.
