SPECIAL COLLECTION FOR THE PEOPLE IN AFRICA

On a scale not seen in Africa in nearly two decades, famine is once again stalking the continent. Accord-ing to estimates by the United Nations, as many as 38 million Africans are living under the threat of starvation. Many will succumb if emergency relief does not reach them in time. With full knowledge of the great generosity already shown by our parish-ioners, especially in response to other requests for disaster relief, we invite you to once again share your generosity and help our less fortunate brothers in Africa. Next Sunday’s Sunday’s Second Collection is for the people of Africa.

FAZtor’s Notes: By Rev. Arnold E. Zamora The summer holiday was over and young Jack returned to Wicor School. Only two days later his teacher phoned his mother to tell her that Jack was misbehaving. “'Wait a minute”, mother said. “I had Jack with me for six weeks and I never called you once when he misbehaved.”

Summer vacation is over. It’s back to School Week! We welcome back our Holy Name students and staff to a new School Year 2011-2012, starting this Wednesday, August 24, 2011. I am happy and proud to inform you that we have an increase in enrollment this year as we welcome our new students. We will also have new teachers and aides. Katie Dodds will be our new kindergarten teacher, welcome to our parish community. Her full time aide will be Maria Baula. Maria, who has a daughter, Samantha, in the Second grade worked in our Extended Care last year. Her husband, Mel Saluba, does a lot of volunteer work for our parish as a professional electrician and plumber. Kristen Choy, who has been our school librarian, will serve as our part-time Kindergarten aide. Mary Ann White, a long time Holy Name parish-ioner, alumni and former School parent, will begin as an aide in 4th grade, and will become substitute teacher when our 4th grade teacher, Nicole Haggerty, takes ma-ternity leave. The first few days of school this week will not be full days. The first day in fact is very short; it is just from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM. The dismissal for the next two days will be at 12:30 PM. So we don’t expect the students to learn a lot on these first days of school. I am reminded of Nathan who comes home from his first day at school. Mother asks, “What did you learn today?” He replies, “Not enough. I have to go back tomorrow.” Holy Name School is a part of our parish and they need all the support that they can get from our pa-rishioners. By the same token, School parents need to support our church too. There are many ways you can help the school. You can attend the school fundraising events, like festi-vals, auctions, musicals, etc. At church we have a second collection called the ACE collection every month, which benefits our school. Better yet, sponsor a child or make a child your scholar. I know some families who would love for their children to experience a great quality education at Holy Name, but they don’t have the financial re-sources. Just to let you know, I am proud of our school, I am proud of our teachers and students. Cheers to the new school year!

TWENTY–FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Keys The holder of the keys to a palace or to the city por-tals holds great power. One did not lightly hand over the keys to one’s domain. The old skeleton key has been retired or reduced to ornament. Now we have access codes and combinations. But they all do what the clunky keys once did. They control access. How are the keys to be used? What are they to pro-tect? What to unlock? Who gains admittance? And to what? FIRST READING: Isaiah 22:19–23 RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Psalm 138:1–2, 2–3, 6, 8 SECOND READING: Romans 11:33–36 GOSPEL: Matthew 16:13–20 Comment The first reading and the Gospel for today both speak of the role of one who holds the keys. In the first reading, it goes poorly for Shebna, the hold-er of the palace keys at the capital. Isaiah has to de-liver the bad news that Shebna is not a trustworthy holder of the keys. Isaiah informs him that he will be thrust down and a new one will replace him. Shebna’s error was that he went along with the king’s decision to form military alliances with other nations. This military policy was expressly counter to the will of the Lord. The merging of nations meant the dilution of the religion of Israel, the intro-duction of other gods, the betrayal of the covenant established on Mount Sinai and renewed with Da-vid. No ambassadorial niceties here: The symbols of the office—the robe and sash and key—would be placed on another’s shoulders. The key of the House of David recalls the Davidic covenant, which would last forever. The words of this oracle, “when he opens, no one shall shut, when he shuts, no one shall open” (Isaiah 22:22), remind us of the “O” Antiphon on December 20: “O Key of David, O royal Power of Israel con-trolling at your will the gate of heaven: come break down the walls of death.” This antiphon looks for-ward to the Messiah, the fulfillment of God’s prom-ise. In today’s Gospel, we see a small gathering in a kind of quiet, reflective time. Jesus and his dis-ciples are on the road again, but they are not among the crowds, for a change. They seem at ease. There is interior work to be done.

With no introduction, Jesus turns to these men and asks what others say of him. The disciples report that Jesus seems to be a continuation of the Jewish tradition and Scriptures—he is a prophet, perhaps. It’s hard telling. When Jesus pointedly asks what they think, it is Peter who speaks for himself and for the rest. He seems to have the undisputed role as leader, as Jesus’ right-hand man. Peter does not merely say what they had said only recently, in the becalmed boat after the storm at sea had subsided: “Truly you are the Son of God” (Matthew 14:33). Peter’s confession is broader in its reach, deeper in its expression: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16). The other evangelists also wrote of this incident, but Matthew alone gives us the story of Peter’s commissioning. His given name, Simon, is formally changed. This renaming is charged with meaning. Simon is called Peter, a word that means “rock” in Greek and in Latin. Then he is given the keys; he is given the authority to loose and to bind. Reflection Before Jesus hands over his authority to Peter, he makes it clear that Peter is chosen because he is obe-dient to God’s revelation. He is not the recipient be-cause he is cool and clever or tough. For he is none of these. Indeed, he seems to stumble, and frequent-ly. Jesus has taken the measure of this man. He has seen his stride while taking into account his stum-ble. The Gospel reading only two Sundays ago told us of Peter’s doubt about his vision of Jesus on the waters, of Peter’s own faltering steps, of his reach-ing out to be saved by Jesus. He was drawn up out of the waters then. Now Jesus reminds him, the Church he leads will face troubled waters—the very gates of the nether world—in case one would doubt the forces of opposition he and his small assembly would have to face. It is to faithful, fallible Peter that the leader-ship goes. Copyright © 2004, World Library Publica-tions. All rights re-served.
