“Marriage is a precious sign, for when a man and a woman celebrate the sacrament of marriage,
God is ‘mirrored’ in them.” With these words, Pope Francis speaks incisively of the ultimate pur-
pose of God’s plan for marriage: to make present, and make real, God’s covenantal love. I invite
Catholic couples from throughout the Bay Area to join me at the Together in Holiness marriage
conference. You will learn how to make your marriage into a sign of God’s love, which will contribute to building up the culture of marriage and family life in our local churches.
Most Reverend Salvatore J. Cordileone, Archbishop of San Francisco

Stewardship by the Book
La Administración según “el Libro”
The good Samaritan was also a good steward,
giving his time and his treasure to meet his
neighbor’s need. At the end of this familiar story, Jesus urges His hearers — and us — to go
and do the same!
El buen Samaritano también era buen administrador de los bienes de Dios, dando su tiempo y
su Tesoro para satisfacer las necesidades de su
prójimo. !Al final de esta historia conocida, Jesús
anima a Sus oyentes — y a nosotros — para que
vayamos a hacer lo mismo!

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
Jubilee Year of Mercy
Decimoquinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Could anyone object to Jesus’ supreme lesson in mercy, the parable of the
Good Samaritan? Jesus’ devoutly religious audience certainly did! Scant
sympathy for anyone foolish enough to travel crime-ridden “Jericho Highway” alone. Much sympathy for priest and Levite, hurrying to assigned
temple ministry, unwilling to risk ritual impurity through hands-on mercy.
No sympathy for Jesus’ scandalous hero. Samaritans were religious apostates and political enemies. Jesus challenges them—and us—to seek
God’s presence not only in liturgical beauty but in a fellow traveler’s selfinflicted misfortunes. See God’s presence even in someone outside the
law, whose hands-on mercy springs not from religious obligation but from
the heart’s instinctive goodness. Since Jesus became our “Good Samaritan” despite our foolishness and sins, who are we to ration our mercy?
“Who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29). The next person we see who needs
hands-on mercy! No conditions, no limits, no exceptions. Especially in this
Jubilee Year of Mercy, Jesus commands, “Go and do likewise” (10:37).
¿Podría haber alguien que contradijera la excelente lección de misericordia en la parábola del Buen Samaritano? ¡Claro, la audiencia de Jesús que
era religiosamente devota lo hizo! Muy poca simpatía gozaba alguien lo
suficientemente tonto como para viajar solo por “el camino de Jericó”
lleno de criminales. Bastante simpatía tenía un sacerdote y un levita,
quienes a prisa se dirigían a realizar su trabajo en el templo, y que preferían evitar hacer una obra de misericordia evitando quedar impuros para
la realización del culto. Nada de simpatía para la persona atenta que
presenta Jesús. Para los judíos los samaritanos eran sus enemigos, tanto
religiosa como políticamente. Jesús los desafía —y también a nosotros— a buscar la presencia de Dios no solamente en la hermosura de la
liturgia sino en esa persona extraña viajera que cayó en desgracia. Observa la presencia de Dios aún en alguien que está fuera de la Ley, quien
hace una obra de misericordia que brota más de la bondad instintiva de
su corazón que por sus obligaciones religiosas. Ya que Jesús se hizo nuestro “Buen Samaritano” pese a nuestras culpas y necedad, ¿quiénes somos
nosotros para medir nuestra misericordia? ¿Quién es mi prójimo? (Lucas
10:29). ¡La próxima persona que veamos que necesita una obra de misericordia! Sin condiciones, sin limites, sin excepciones. Especialmente en este
Año Jubilar de misericordia, Jesús ordenó “vete y haz tú lo mismo” (10:37).

WHAT IS RCIA?
RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults. It is a program to prepare adults
interested in the Catholic Church and in being
baptized. It also prepares adults who have been
baptized, but have not yet made their first
communion or received the sacrament of
confirmation.
The program consists of classes once a week
starting in early September. Participants will
learn about the Catholic faith and participate in
various rites several times during the program,
either here at St Matthew or at the Cathedral.
MARRIED COUPLES
Do you give thanks to God for
the gift of your married love?
Monsignor is looking for a few married
couples, who are interested in learning
how to help him prepare engaged couples
for the Sacrament of Marriage.
For more information on what the commitment would involve, please email him
at [email protected].
Each step prepares the catechumens to receive
the sacraments and fully participate as
members of the Catholic Church.
If anyone knows of family members or friends
who have expressed an interest in learning
more about the Catholic faith or receive
sacraments that they are lacking, please let
them know about the RCIA program.
