2 Page Two June 21, 2015 From the Desk of the Pastor Fathers Day Next month Eric Scheidler, staff and a crew of volunteers will be hitting the streets across northeast Illinois on our 16th annual "Face the Truth" Tour from July Will you join me to help expose abortion in Illinois,? You can get the full schedule for the Tour right here: HALF RIGHT, by Fr. Koys: Father, that's what we call you. Dad, when we want to get a little closer to you. Each year we are asked to consider what that means, Each year I grasp a bit more of a father's dreams. When I was small I thought you controlled the world with all your might. Now, I see that I was only half right. Indeed you controlled MY world, but THE world stretched way beyond my sight. Now I see Our Father's seven petitions in a new light. And I figured out, even back then, that every rooster needs a precious hen. Too often they seem to annoy us, But all our family failures should teach us much more. I often hear how crucial it is to show up at the game, And let's face it, who doesn't like a dad to boost your fame, But now I see, that that is only half right. Half the time he cannot show, it was I who played and he who labored in yearning pain. I see how hard it is to pound the rocks, I see his absence was what gave me that gift that won t fit in a box. Everyone should have a father, Everyone should love a father. But everyone should love that man who squeezed your mother, Not as a superman or a divine provider, But as a man who struggles to give his all, and yes, stands beside her. For if YOU, or if HE, loses the wisdom of the Father's might, You will always be, less, much less than half right. I called with pride the place where I lived; MY house. Now I see I was only half right. For you bought the "place of my rest" with your sweat and blood, but never seemed to mind when I called what's yours, mine. A father labors for this type of responsible love; A faith that wants to see that son discover the ways of a Father above. I thought, when Aldonza cried out to Don Quixote, "I do not know mine." I thought it so strange. But now I see I was only half right. For it is not so strange to be in darkness, truly it's not funny. What s rare and wonderful is to love the man that mom calls "honey". Dads are hard to figure out, dads are hard to buy for; 3 BROTHERS & 7 WHEELS! Fr. Koys & his brothers Bob & John pour on the power to help fight M.S. Unlike Other Nations, Fr. Thomas Koys, M.A.,S.T.L., Pastor
