Prayers to Begin our New School Year
God of wisdom and might,
we praise you for the wonder of our being, for
body, mind and spirit.
Be with the children of St. Matthew’s Catholic
School and the children of our School of Religion
as they begin this new school year.
Bless them and their teachers, catechists and
staff.
Give them strength and grace as their bodies
grow; wisdom and knowledge as they search for
understanding; and peace and zeal within their
hearts as they grow closer to you.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Dear St. Matthew Parishioners, Families and Friends,
As another school year begins, I’m reminded of where we’ve just been, what’s happening now, and
where we’re going….
Where we’ve just been…We bid a fond farewell to our class of 2016 who are beginning the next chapter in
their lives. Amid the blue gowns, smiles and tears, I’m sure there were reflections of their time here and an
optimism of the future. Over the past nine years I have been witness to these students displaying their
strengths and abilities in many different venues, and I have been thoroughly impressed. They are a
remarkable class. May God bless them in their future endeavors.
What’s happening now…We look forward to continuing a high standard of excellence as we move into the
2016-17 school year.
The Church teaches that parents are the first teachers of their children in faith. In support of the Archdiocese
of San Francisco Council of Priests Committee, our goal this school year is to continue to form a school
community in which teachers, administrators, parents, students, and priests work together to model Catholic
faith.
On Sunday afternoon we welcome our 55 new families to the Ice Cream Social, may God bless them in their
new journey.
Where we’re going… The school supplies are securely placed in the backpacks by the front door. Uniforms
are waiting to be worn with pride. The first day of school arrives on Thursday, filled with anticipation and
excitement! The campus looks beautiful a welcome site for our students arriving this week. Its’ been too quiet
around here! I’ll leave you with this verse for everyone to enjoy.
Twas the Night Before School Started
Author Unknown
‘Twas
the night before school started,
When all through the town,
The parents were cheering
It was a riotous sound!
By eight, kids were washed
And tucked into bed…
when memories of homework
Filled them with dread.
New pencils, new folders, new notebooks, too!
New teachers, new friends
Their anxiety grew!..
The parents just giggled when
They learned of this fright
And shouted upstairs
“Go to bed! It’s a School night!”
Blessings,
Ann Connelly

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Jubilee Year of Mercy
Twenty first Sunday in Ordinary Time
Este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia y el ministerio del
Papa Francisco vienen renovando nuestro entendimiento
de que el corazón de la Iglesia está abierto para todas las
personas y, el corazón del Evangelio es la misericordia de
Dios. Inundados con la misericordia de Dios, nuestros
corazones deben desbordarse como arroyos llevando a las
personas cansadas y heridas la misericordia consoladora
de Jesús. Ya que Jesús señala que nuestra salvación no
está garantizada por la Liturgia de la Palabra (“tú has enseñado en nuestras plazas”) ni por la Eucaristía (“Hemos
comido y bebido contigo”) (Lucas 13:26). Habrá personas lejos de ese banquete “del oriente y del poniente, del
norte y del sur . . . participarán en el banquete del Reino
de Dios” (13:29). Por el contrario, mostrar misericordia
es la clave para obtener misericordia nosotros mismos
(Mateo 5:7). Para que nunca debamos atrevernos a preguntar lo que “alguien” le preguntó a Jesús: “Señor, ¿es
verdad que son pocos los que se salvan?” (Lucas 13:23).
La pregunta debiera ser: “¿Yo me salvaré?” Y la respuesta de Jesús sería otra pregunta: “¿Has sido misericordioso
con tu prójimo, de manera libre, con alegría, sin límites,
sin condiciones, sin excepciones?”—Peter Scagnelli, Copyright
This Jubilee Year of Mercy and Pope Francis’ ministry
have renewed our understanding that the Church’s heart is
open wide to all, and the heart of the gospel is God’s mercy. Flooded with God’s mercy, our hearts should overflow
as channels bringing to wounded and weary hearts Jesus’
healing mercy. For Jesus warns, our own salvation is not
guaranteed by the Liturgy of the Word (“you taught in our
streets”) nor by the Eucharist (“we ate and drank in your
company”) (Luke 13:26). People far from that banquet,
“from the east and the west and from the north and the
south . . . will recline at table in the kingdom of
God” (13:29). Rather, showing mercy is key to obtaining
mercy ourselves (Matthew 5:7). So we should never dare
ask what “someone” asked Jesus, “Lord, will only a few
people be saved?” (Luke 13:23). The crucial question is
“Will I be saved?” And Jesus’ answer is another question:
“Have you shown mercy to everyone, freely, gladly, no
limits, no conditions, no exceptions?” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S.
