Dear Parish Family,
During course of the two thousand years of
Christianity we have monumentalized the
hero of Jesus' road-rescue story by naming
hospitals and laws after the Good Samaritan. We somehow have
lost touch with the fact that the relationships between first-century
Jews and Samaritans were generally characterized by the special
hostility. Missing that note, we also miss much of the punch of the
parable. Luke had already alluded to that animosity in chapter nine
when he wrote that the Samaritans “would not receive him” as Je-
sus and his disciples headed south through Samaritan territory to
Jerusalem. Any Samaritan knew that the proper place for authentic
Israelite worship was Mount Gerizim and that Galilean Jews on
pilgrimage to Jerusalem were heretics.
In answer to the question ‘Who is my neighbor?’ Jesus cleverly
makes the Scribe answer another question: What does it mean to be
a neighbor to another? Jesus tells a story with details carefully cho-
sen. A man is assaulted and robbed in a setting that would have
been familiar and plausible to first-century Palestinians. The road
from Jerusalem to Jericho—desolate and full of twists and turns—
is still a likely place for highway robbery. Stripped and uncon-
scious, the victim becomes a kind of “common denominator” of
humanity. Without the cues of clothing and speech, there is no way
to place him by race or class; it is not even clear whether he is liv-
ing or dead.
When we hear about those who pass by without helping the victim,
we easily dismiss them as heartless religious officials. The response
of Jesus' original audience may well have been more nuanced. The
victim—naked, motionless, and mute—would look to a casual
glance like a corpse. Among the purity regulations that constrained
the lives of Temple officials (Priests and Levites) was a rule saying
that touching (even coming within four cubits of) a corpse rendered
one unclean. The narrative, then, allows us to understand the by-
passers’ behavior as “playing it safe” in the presence of what
seemed to be a corpse rather than cold neglect of a robbery victim.
The original listeners would not be surprised at this turn of events.
By contrast, the action of the Samaritan traveler is astounding. This
man has every excuse in the world to mind his own business and to
keep on moving. A Samaritan in Judea, on the wrong “turf,” he is
himself an automatic target for hostility. If he is caught near the
victim, he would be considered a likely suspect in the aggression.
Yet he is “moved with compassion at the sight” and proceeds to
place himself at risk by administering first aid and taking the victim
to an inn to see that he is properly cared for.
Too often this parable has been read as a pleasant moral lesson of
kindness and neighborliness. Fleshing out all the characters in their
Mediterranean cultural characteristics gives the parable a fresh
look. A hated outsider extends compassionate love to his enemy.
What a masterful attack on communal prejudice!

Welcome to
Fr. Ravi Desari C.O for the 10.30 am Mass on 17 July.
Just as the WW I poster featuring Uncle Sam pointing
a finger to the viewer and saying, "I NEED YOU!" I
come to say that we need some kind parishioners to
step up and help in our Religious Education Program
for the coming year. We need Catechists, Subs and
Helpers. We are losing three Catechists who have
been with the program for a combined total of thirty
years. Their children long ago completed the pro-
gram, but these ladies continued to give of their time
and effort to your youngsters. Now, they must move
on to pursue other interests. We thank these special
women, but WHO WILL TAKE THEIR PLACES?
We need a Co-Teacher for 2nd Grade, a Teacher
for a small 6th Grade and an additional Teacher
for 7th Grade as well as a Helper for Monday
evenings and a couple of people to sub when
needed.
Please don't think that someone else will step
up to the plate. WE NEED YOU.
Please contact Kathleen Dunn at any time by
calling 845-942-2908. I will help you get start-
ed and together we will continue to offer a fine
Religious Education Program to the children of
St. John's Parish.
Thank you and God bless!

Dear Johan,
I can’t believe what people are wearing to
church these days. Can’t you do something
about that?
Gentle Reader,
Believe me, I have tried, but people just don’t like to be
told what to wear. That will, however, not keep me from
opining on the matter. Shortly before I moved to the Unit-
ed States I was invited to join a group of other soon-to-be
expats for an evening at the Belgian-American Founda-
tion. The goal of the evening was to facilitate the transi-
tion from life in Europe to life in the United States. In ad-
dition to teaching us how to shop we were told what to
wear. One of the points the American instructor made
was that Europeans are much more formal than Ameri-
cans. So, we were advised not to bring too many suits and
formal outfits. Over the past 25 years, I have realized,
however, that even if the majority of Americans are less
formal than Europeans, there are different levels of infor-
mality. People tend to wear specific clothes to different
events. Baseball games, picnics, fine dinners, and Sunday
Eucharist require their own sets of clothes. Recently I have
noticed, though, that some people come to church wear-
ing Viking purple or Packer green. I suppose I should take
consolation in the absence of the fake Viking hair and
hats.
The reason for wearing certain clothes for certain occa-sions, be they formal or informal, is that clothes not only cover the body but they also communicate a message, whether intended or not. Most important they communi-cate how the wearer feels about the event that takes place. And of course, you are correct: there is indeed appropri-ate and inappropriate dress for worship, especially for liturgical ministers. Last week one of our servers wore tennis shoes that light up at every step. These were inap-propriate for two reasons. First, tennis shoes should be worn for tennis and not for church. Second, they were distracting to the assembly. Rather than gazing at the cross the server was carrying, parishioners stared at his fancy footwear. I know that the last thing people want me to say is that their outfit is inappropriate for church. So I won’t. But just so you know, when I get up on Sunday morning and de-cide what to wear, I always ask myself if my attire is fitting for the celebration of the Eucharist, rather than mindless-ly throwing on shorts, a Grateful Dead T-shirt, and flip-flops.

ANDA Y HAZ TÚ LO MISMO
La señorita González, la decana de los estudiantes de la Escuela Secundaria Olimpo, ya estaba cansada de regañar a Mateo, a pesar de que le caía muy bien. “Cuatro castigos después de clase en dos semanas es demasiado".
Sin embargo Mateo permanecía en silencio. Sólo después de que la señorita González fuera en una ronda matutina por el vecindario descubrió la verdadera razón de las tardanzas de Mateo. Pataplún, cayó la silla de ruedas por las escaleras. Era Mateo, sujetando a Dolo-res mientras ayudaba a que la bajaran por las escaleras y luego la empujaba hasta la parada de autobús.
“Es una chica de mi grupo de jóvenes de la parro-quia” Mateo le explicó a la señorita González.
Hay muchas formas de describir las acciones de Ma-teo –un acto de bondad al azar, marcar una diferencia en la vida de una persona a la vez. Jesús entendería. Cuan-do el abogado identificó correctamente al buen samari-tano como el que había tratado al hombre herido con compasión, Jesús simplemente dijo: “Anda y haz tú lo mismo” (Lucas 10:37).
