From the Pastor’s Desk
“So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing
thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you
think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to
do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said,
'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey,
we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.’”–
Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs
on attempts to get Atari and H-P interested in his and
Steve Wozniak's personal computer.
That’s how the 72 disciples could have reacted after being
sent out to preach the coming of the Kingdom of God
without a credit care, backpack, hiking boots, umbrella, or
compass. Much to their surprise, they were successful, for
“even the demons were subject to us in [Jesus’] name”
because they believed the Kingdom of God was at hand.
They believed Jesus.
What an “amazing thing” this Kingdom of God! But
what actually is “Kingdom of God”? Pope Benedict XVI
in his new book, Jesus of Nazareth, writes that the
“Kingdom of God” is used 122 times in the New Testament; so, it must be important. In the history of the
Church, the phrase is understood in three ways: (1) the
Kingdom is Christ himself, that Jesus is God’s presence in
the world; (2) the Kingdom is not found on a map but is
located in the heart of human beings; and (3) the Kingdom
is “simply the name for a world governed by peace, justice, and the conservation.” The Pope has a problem with
this “world” because God becomes unnecessary. What
Benedict concludes is that the Kingdom of God is “God
acting now—this is the hour when God is showing himself
in history as its Lord, as the living God, in a way that goes
beyond anything seen before.”
Where’s Atari now? And I bet Hewlett Packard is continuing to kick itself with its lack of vision in the beginning of the personal computer and the present mania over
Apple’s iPhone. But the pressing need of our faith community of Saints Peter and Paul is to experience the Kingdom of God as God showing himself in history and acting
now in our lives and in the lives of the young and the
poor.

14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Isaiah 66:10-14c; Galatians
6:14-18; Luke 10:1-12, 17-20.
Today Isaiah speaks to the Israelites who had been in exile. He
tells them that God will care for
them, as a mother cares for her
child, and makes them prosperous. Jesus tells the Apostles that
they now have the power to dispel evil spirits. The names of the Apostles are now written in
heaven.
Particular Items
Second Collection: This week’s second collection will be for
our Archdiocesan Appeal.
Eucharistic Adoration/Holy Hour: Every Wednesday, we have Holy Hour from 7:00-8:00 PM. The
parking lot will be open.
Madonna del Lume Picnic: It’s next Sunday! The MDL invites you to their 8th Annual Picnic on Sunday, July 15, at
Stafford Lake Park in Novato. The fun begins with Fr. Jack
celebrating an outdoor mass at 11AM, then games & entertainment from 12-4, when dinner will be served. For more info,
call Jeanne Pellegrini at 415-846-7896. Tickets are $30 for
adults and $12 for kids.

We rehearse before the 5:00 PM mass.
Choose Life! “The attitude some adopt concerning the legitimacy of sacrificing the (physical and genetic) integrity of human beings at the embryonic stage in order to destroy them, if
necessary, in order to benefit other human individuals is likewise totally unacceptable. It is never morally licit to do evil
intentionally in order to achieve ends that are good in themselves.” –Concluding Communiqué of the Pontifical Academy
for Life on the “Ethics of Biomedical Research,” Feb. 24-26,
2007
Domenica 14A del Tempo Ordinario
Nel frastuono e nella dispersione del nostro mondo il
fascino della città santa e il richiamo della grazia
non si spengono. Possono ancora toccare l’intimità
delle persone. La vera gloria di Dio non può essere
diffusa da nessuna propaganda e tantomento da un
sistema pubblicitario. L’affermazione della nostro
vita fervida e gioiosa, della nostra franchezza
nwll’annunciare la Buona Natale.
Saints Peter and Paul School Scholarship
Fund: Many of you will remember the time
when there were many religious vocations and a
Catholic education was extraordinarily inexpensive. But all that has changed. Our school
charges a tuition of $5,400—less than our
neighboring Catholic Schools, and half of what a
public school spends to educate a child. With San Francisco’s
cost of living, lack of funds may prevent children from receiving
a Catholic Education. The Salesians began by educating the children of the poor, and we are not about to exclude those who cannot make the total fee. But, like Don Bosco before us, we need
help. Are there parishioners and/or friends who might consider
contributing to the sponsorship of a student who might be otherwise forced to leave? All recipient family qualifications will be
verified by Saints Peter and Paul School. For more information,
feel free to call Fr. Malloy at 421-0809.
“Hemp World” Store Hearing: The Planning
Commission’s lease-renewal hearing for “Hemp
World” (now calling itself “Holistic Solutions”) is
scheduled for July 12. The church, school, and
Boy’s and Girls’ Club are all strongly opposed to
having this business so close to us. Parishioners &
parents who are opposed to this should attend, and make their
concerns known.
Revitalize your Marriage! The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend will be November 9-11. For more info call Paul
or Yvonne at 650-366-7093 or www.sf.lovemoredeeply.org
“I place much of my hope for the future
in Marriage Encounter.” –Pope John Paul II.
