OUR HOLY FATHER’S GIFT TO THE WORLD
In my homily last Sunday, I attempted to underline Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy
Message for 2016. Jesus is the face of God’s mercy and He told the parable of the Good
Samaritan, on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, to reveal the true nature of his Father’s
mercy. Indeed, the Good Samaritan models Jesus’ own behavior which is an expression of
the behavior of his Father. Just as Jesus acts, so does God the Father.
In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, our Holy Father offers the image of the Good Samaritan to keep us mindful
that the biblical message of mercy, compassion, kindness and love is a Gospel imperative that should be imprinted on the hearts of all those who strive to be good stewards of their life of faith.
GUESS WHO CAME TO DINNER???
I am grateful to the Knights of Columbus for hosting a dinner at St. Isidore rectory on Saturday evening,
June 11th. The dinner was purchased by Admiral and Mrs. Robert P. Tiernan at the Knights of Columbus
Crab Feed and Auction. The Knights descended on the rectory with a Chef, Barman, Waiters and musical
entertainment. The dinner consisted of six courses: Frutti Di Mare; Zuppa; Salad; Pasta; Entrée (Filletto Di
Manzo Brasato) and Dessert. A fine wine was paired with each course. Oops! next morning? Besides Fr. G.
and I, the Admiral invited Msgr. Cardelli, Fr. Evan of San Damiano, family and close friends.
As Pastor, I am thankful to the Knights for their constant efforts to create a community atmosphere at St.
Isidore Parish. I am especially grateful for the $10,000.00 check they presented to Bishop Michael Barber for
the Diocesan Capital Campaign: Reclaiming Christ’s Mission Together. St. Isidore Parish was given credit
towards our Capital Campaign Goal of $2.4 million. The check was the proceeds from the Knights barbeque
last Fall at Summit Ranch.
WELCOME FR. CARLOS ESPARZA, S.J. AND JESUIT SEMINARIAN SEAN SALAI
I look forward to welcoming Fr. Carlos Esparza to St. Isidore Parish, while on retreat, during the week of
June 27th. Fr. Carlos will give the homily at all Masses on the weekend of July 2nd and 3rd. For the past
year, Fr. Carlos has been assigned to a parish in Denver. We were blessed to have him at St. Isidore Parish
during his diaconate and I look forward to welcoming another Jesuit seminarian, Sean Salai, who will be ordained to the diaconate on October 22nd.
In May, Sean was interviewed by Raymond Arroyo about his recently published book: What Would Pope
Francis Do? The interview can be watched on u-tube by entering: Raymond Arroyo – What Would Pope
Francis Do?
Fr. Carlos, a business graduate of Harvard University, eventually hopes to continue his studies for a Doctorate in Economics in preparation for teaching at a Jesuit University.
BISHOP BARBER CONVENES HIS PRIESTS!
Next Tuesday, June 21, our Bishop has summonsed the priests of the Diocese of Oakland to a meeting at
Transfiguration Church, Castro Valley, to give an assessment of the state of our Diocesan finances. The
meeting will be an opportunity for the priests to become familiar with strategic Diocesan matters. Bishop
Barber is taking an intentional step in improving communication and understanding surrounding critical financial issues the diocese faces in the future. As Pastor, I will keep you informed.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
It’s almost midsummer day! One of the great hidden treasures of our liturgical calendar occurs this week. There are only three “nativity” feasts on our calendar: for the Lord, the Blessed
Mother (September 8), and the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist on June 24. Friday’s date is anchored by the Annunciation (March 25), when Mary learns not only of her own child’s advent, but
of Elizabeth’s child. We are exactly half a year away from Christmas Eve. There are strong traditions around this feast. Just as the winter solstice provides a rich vocabulary for Christmas, so
does the abundance of light at midsummer inform this celebration. Just as at Christmas, a religious
festival spills over into culture. As summer light reaches its peak, the sun-drenched zones of
northern Europe see people staying up all night, kindling “St. John’s Fires” in the long summer
twilight. Bonfires seem to be the unifying force in all these celebrations, kindled along the shores
of the St. Lawrence in Quebec and Montreal, with harbor illuminations in France. You may be
most interested in the custom in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the Baptist’s own city. People there will
leap into the sea between midnight and dawn to honor John. Why not find your way to a pool, a
lake, or a sandy beach this week and plunge in to recall your baptism? It’s a tradition!

Families Sharing Faith:
Today’s Gospel from Luke is perhaps one of the
most poignant accounts of Jesus. Before this exchange with his disciples, Jesus has already cured
the possessed man, cured Simon Peter’s motherin-law, cured the leper, taught the multitude
about God’s love, healed the paralytic, healed the
centurion’s slave, raised the widow’s son from
death, pardoned the sinful woman, calmed the
storm at sea, healed the Gerasene demoniac and
Jairus’ daughter and the woman with the hemorrhage. He had fed the 5,000 men plus women and
children with 5 loaves and 2 fish.
Now, he is in praying in solitude and the disciples are with him. He asks, "Who do the
crowds say that I am?" What did Jesus feel
as he asked? What answer did he expect, or
hope for? And what did he think when the
disciples answered: John the Baptist, Elijah, or one of the ancient prophets arisen?
Then, the Gospel says, he said, "But who do
you say that I am?" Did Jesus hope--after all
the miracles and teachings--they would finally understand? Today, we might reflect on
that same question that Jesus asks, "Who do
you say that I am?" We have the witness of
Peter who was the first to reply to Jesus, saying Jesus is "The Christ of God." But when he
turns to you and me, how shall we respond?
Page 6
Question of the Week:
Whom do you see bearing a heavy
cross? How can you offer support?
Discuss as a Family:
Discipleship means continually answering the
question that Jesus asks, "Who do you say that I
am?" We can answer in many ways: in prayer, in
our words, in our decisions, in our participation in
the community of faith, in our efforts to share his
Good News with others. Who do you think answers Jesus' question effectively today? Name
one way in which your life answers who you believe Jesus to be.
Inquiry for Non-Catholics
Do you experience God calling you
to learn about the Catholic faith?
Inquiry is a time when people who are interested in
the Catholic Church begin to hear and see how our
Christian community preaches and lives the Good
News of Jesus Christ. In a relaxed environment we
discuss all sorts of questions:
Is there any purpose to/in my life now?
Why is there evil in the world?
Why do the good suffer?
Summer Bible Study: God calling you
into a deeper relationship with Him
Who were the prophets?
What was there message?
What do they have to do with us?
Drop in to our free summer study. Each session can stand alone—no homework!
