BE LIKE THE SAMARITAN

The parable in

today’s Gospel is one of the best known of all the

teachings of Jesus. The term “Good Samaritan” has been used to name

various charitable organizations and is

even the official name of one state’s emergency roadside assistance program that helps stranded motorists.

With the prevalence of the

terminology used to describe various

activities in our day, we might be led to forget the message of this Gospel passage. This man, this

Samaritan, was the only one who offered the

beaten man help. Samaritans, remember,

were considered t he lowest of the low in

the time of Christ. A good Jewish person would not even have

gone near a Samaritan for fear of being rendered impure.

The Samaritan was motivated solely by the sense that the poor man needed help. He didn’t care about religious or

social status. And Jesus’ message is that

we are to do the same.

Good News! July 11, 2010 FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Dt 30:10–14 / Col 1:15–20 / Lk 10:25–37 I was a little kid when my father taught my mother to use a stick shift. My sister and I sat in the back seat as the car jolted in stops and starts on the vacant parking lot near our house. My father was frustrated. My mother was frustrated and miserable. My sister and I were scared to death. My first time driving with a clutch was in-credibly awkward. The second time too. I couldn’t get the feel of it. Worse yet, I couldn’t see how I was ever going to get the feel of it. My father, patient, kept me at it. And at one point, it clicked. I knew what a clutch was supposed to feel like. My wife and I took turns teaching our sons to drive in a huge parking lot in a park. On any Sat-urday half a dozen or so families bond in that park. The lot is long enough for your car to get into sec-ond and even third gear before you hit the grass. Someone set up huge empty metal barrels on the edge of the lot so new drivers can also practice par-allel parking without hitting anything that matters. What has any of this to do with today’s readings? In Deuteronomy, we are reminded that God’s Word is very close to us. It’s in our heart for us to follow. In Luke, Jesus is asked how to inherit eternal life. He asks the questioner — what do you think? The man knew what to do. Jesus simply said, now go do that. Colossians reminds us that Christ lives in us—the image of God who created heaven and earth and has power over anything that might test us. We may not get it at first, but that’s who is teaching us.

FAZtor ‘s Notes by Fr. Arnold Zamora

Long weekend! Summer vacation! These are the common reasons for the poor attendance in Church on Sun days. People go away to places to make use of the work and school vaca-tion days. I wonder what’s the attendance like in churches near Disneyland, Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, the beaches in Florida and Acapulco and other tourist des-tinations during these particular days.

Yet some people don’t have any reasons for not attending Mass on Sundays, they just have excuses. Too bad, excuses are almost synonymous with lying and sometimes a way to avoid accepting responsibility for your failed actions. I was not able to go to church because my parents did not wake me up or the alarm clock did not work. Excuses, excuses!

Someone suggested this one, not from or for Holy Name of course!

To make it possible for everyone to attend church next Sunday, we are going to have a special “No-Excuse Sunday”: Cots will be placed in the foyer for those who say, “Sunday is my only day to sleep in.” There will be a special section with lounge chairs for those who feel that our pews are too hard. We will have steel helmets for those who say, “The roof would cave in if I ever came to church.” Relatives and friends will be in attendance for those who can’t go to church and cook dinner, too. Doctors and nurses will be in attendance for those who

plan to be sick on Sunday. The sanctuary will be decorated with both Christmas poinsettias and Easter lilies for those who have never

seen the church without them. What is your excuse?

Besides our regular Mass goers, I was so happy to see a lot of young people last Sunday which was the 4th of July weekend. It is always a joy to see more people at church. Maybe, we could learn from the minister of Grace Church who phoned the city’s newspaper, “Thank you very much,” he said, “for the error you made when you printed my sermon title on the church page. The topic I sent you was ‘What Jesus Saw in a Publican.’ You printed it as “What Jesus Saw in a Republican.’ I had the largest crowd of the year.”

MONSIGNOR

ROBERT W. McELROY NAMED BY POPE BENEDICT XVI

TO BE AUXILIARY BISHOP OF SAN FRANCISCO

I am pleased to announce that Pope Benedict XVI has named Monsignor Robert W. McElroy to be Auxiliary Bishop of San Francisco. This appointment was announced at the Vatican, and in Washington, D.C. by Archbishop Pietro Sambi, papal nuncio. As many of you know, Bishop-elect McElroy has been serving as Pastor of Saint Gregory Church in San Mateo for the past fourteen years. In announcing this news to the public, I have said that I am most grateful to our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, for appointing Monsignor Robert McElroy as Auxiliary Bishop. We are de-lighted that Monsignor McElroy’s gifts and zeal will be given even broader scope in serving the life of the Catholic Church and the community here. Bishop-elect McElroy graduated from St. Patrick Semi-nary in 1979 with a Master’s de-gree in Divinity. He holds a bachelor’s degree in His-tory from Harvard University (1975) and an MA in American History (1976) from Stanford University. He also holds post-graduate degrees (STL Theology 1985 in Berkeley); North American College in Rome (STD Theology 1986); and Stanford University (Ph.D. His-tory, 1989). Ordained April 12, 1980, Bishop-elect McElroy served as priest-secretary to Archbishop John R. Quinn from 1982-85. He also served as Parochial Vicar at Saint Cecilia Parish in San Francisco and St. Pius Parish in Redwood City and, in years preceding his appointment to Saint Gregory Church, as Vicar for Administration and Moderator of the Curia of the Archdiocese. Archbishop John Quinn, Bishop William Justice and Bishop Ignatius Wang join me in congratulating Bishop-elect McElroy on his appoint-ment. The episcopal ordination rites for Bishop-elect Robert W. McElroy are planned for Tuesday, Septem-ber 7, 2010 in the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the As-sumption in San Francisco. Further details would follow.

Msgr. Robert McElroy

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS! Archbishop George H. Niederauer has an-nounced four priests of the Archdiocese of San Francisco will now be known as Monsignor. “I am very pleased to announce that Pope Bene-dict XVI has named Father C. Michael Padazinski and Father John J. Talesfore Chaplains to His Holiness, with the title of Monsignor,” Archbishop Niederauer said in a memo to all in the Archdiocese June 28, “and has named Father James E. O’Malley and Father James T. Tarantino Prelates of Honor to His Holiness, with the title of Monsi-gnor.” The appointments take effect immediately, Archbishop Niederauer noted. “Please join me in thanking these men, and all of our active and retired priests and deacons, for their im-portant service to the people of this Archdiocese,” Archbishop Niederauer said. Monsignor Talesfore has been ministering as Pas-tor of Saint Mary’s Cathedral since August 15, 2005; Mon-signor Padazinski has been serving as Judicial Vicar since July, 2000; Chancellor since December, 2006; Vicar Gen-eral pro tempore since July, 2008 and is a Colonel in the United States Air Force Reserve. Following the retirement of Monsignor Harry Schlitt on June 30, 2010, Monsignor Tarantino will begin his full-time assignment as Vicar for Administration and Moderator of the Curia, after many years as Pastor of Saint Hilary Parish in Tiburon. Monsi-gnor Jim O’Malley recently celebrated his 64th year of ordination and has been retired since 1993. He resides at Nazareth House in San Rafael, and has served the Arch-diocese in many capacities – most notably as Pastor of Saint Kevin Parish from 1967 to 1993. Monsignor is a title of distinction given by the Pope to certain priests as part of a papal honor recognizing service to the Church. The diocesan bishop nominates candidates for the honor and submits the names to the Holy See. The Holy Father then, if he wishes, confers the honor onto the priest. Once de-cided by the Pope, the Vatican Secretariat of State issues a di-ploma designating the new title and rank and recognizing the newly made monsignor’s service to the Church. The Prelate of Honor to His Holiness was historically associated with the chamberlain of the papal court and today can also be conferred to priests outside of the papal court. A Prelate of Honor to His Holiness, during liturgies, wears a bishop’s choir cassock, which is fuchsia in color with red but-tons, piping and cuffs, and a fuchsia sash. Prelates of Honor to His Holiness may also wear a bishop’s black cassock, which also has red buttons, piping and a fuchsia sash. Chaplain to His Holiness can be conferred to priests inside or outside of the Ro-man Curia. A Chaplain to His Holiness wears a black cassock with fuchsia piping and buttons along with a fuchsia sash. Priests who are given papal honors and thus named monsi-gnors are considered to be members of the papal household. In 1969, the custom of Chaplains of His Holiness surrendering the title upon the death and burial of the conferring pontiff was suppressed. Today, all monsignors retain their titles upon the death and burial of a Pope.

To Members of the Fil-Am Club: The Fil-Am Club will have its regular meeting on Friday, July 16, 2010, at the Flanagan Center . A novena to San Lorenzo Ruiz will start at 7:00 pm, followed by a regular meeting at 7:30 pm. See you soon. -- Lito Coloma, President

THE HOLY GHOST FATHERS (Irish Province)

On July 24/25, the Second Collection will be the Mission Appeal for the Holy Ghost Fathers. The Holy Ghost Fathers are an International Missionary Society, one of the largest Missionary Congregations in the Church. They are responsible, in large part, for the evangelization of many African people, in countries such as Ghana, Liberia, Angola, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania and Malawi. Some of our missionaries are working in very tense and difficult situations, especially in war ravaged countries. The Holy Ghost Fathers are involved in all kinds of missionary activities from pastoral ministry to educational work at all levels, to the training of native clergy to social and agricultural work. The Holy Ghost Fathers also have missions in Asia and South America. In recent years they have begun to work in China. The Holy Ghost Fathers are grateful for your prayers and continued support.

THOSE PEOPLE Today’s Gospel should trouble us more than it does, but we have heard it often. A man expert in religious law understands the two greatest com-mandments, but wants Jesus to define “neighbor.” Jesus conjures up some disturbing images. First, the violent attack on a traveler, so brutal that the man appears to be dead. Second, a priest and Levite come upon the victim. They carefully walk around his body, afraid of acquiring impurity from the blood of a corpse, which would exclude them from the temple rituals for a while. Along comes the Sa-maritan. In Jesus’ time Jews and Samaritans de-spised and avoided each other. The Samaritans claimed to be the original children of Israel and wor-shiped God on Mount Gerizim, not in the Jerusalem temple. The Samaritan goes close enough to see that the beaten man is alive and acts quickly to save him. Cleaning and covering the wounds, the Samaritan hauls this Jewish man onto his donkey and travels to the nearest inn, paying a substantial sum to en-sure his extended care. The priest, the Levite, and the Samaritan all saw the beaten man, but the priest and the Levite saw him as a problem, whereas the Samaritan saw him as a person. The question we must ask ourselves is how quickly do we step for-ward to help someone who might cause us more trouble than we bargained for? Have we ever re-frained from helping someone begging for food, saying silently, “If I give money they’ll only spend it

on alcohol or drugs,” or “They could really get a job if they wanted to get off the street,” or perhaps “Those people are al-ways wanting handouts”? Our neighbors include all “these people”—the ones whom Jesus insists that we love like our-

selves. Let’s get started. Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
