Reflection What are some of the miraculous moments in your own life?

Have you ever prayed for a miracle?

80 South Market Street, San José, CA 95113-2321 408-283-8100 www.stjosephcathedral.org ,

“A large crowd gathered around Jesus, and he stayed close to the sea. One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward.

Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, ‘My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her

that she may get well and live.’ He went off with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him. While he was still speaking,

people from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, ‘Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?’

Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, ‘Do not be afraid; just have faith.’

He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and John. When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official,

he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. So he went in and said to them, ‘Why this commotion and weeping?

The child is not dead but asleep.’ And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child's father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the child was.

He took the child by the hand and said to her, ‘Talitha koum,’ which means, ‘Little girl, I say to you, arise!’

The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. At that they were utterly astounded. He gave strict orders that no one should know

thisand said that she should be given something to eat.” Mark 5: 21-43

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We are hundreds of miles from the border, yet what has happened along the US-Mexico border over the past few weeks has a direct impact on many of our own people. Images of crying children, separated from their mothers, and the anguish of mothers whose infants have been taken from their arms has increased the anxiety and fear of moth-ers and children living here in many of our parishes and neighborhoods. I write to assure you that we stand with you, that we support Church efforts to keep families together and to reunite those that have been separated. The separation of detained minor children from their parents is un-American, un-Christian and in-humane. This practice is mean-spirited and be-trays our nation’s tradition of welcome to migrants and refugees. Coupled with this, the United State’s Attorney General’s decision to deny welcome to victims of domestic and gang violence is a further betrayal of the values that have until now charac-terized the immigration policy of the United States. The Attorney General’s attempt to justify these actions by citing Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans is a final betrayal of millennia-old princi-ples. Blind obedience to the state has never been the mark of our democracy, which has historically been characterized by civil discourse and compro-mise. Indeed, early Christians were often at odds with secular society and the government. When ques-tioned about allegiance to the Roman Empire, Je-sus instructed his followers to “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but to God, the things that are God’s” (Matthew 22:21). As the Christian message began to take hold, early communities of believers found themselves in deep conflict with the Roman government. Thus, it is a perversion of Scripture to

teach that God’s people must blindly obey the gov-ernment, even when the government is enacting unjust laws. We believe that the Department of Homeland Security’s barbaric practice of separat-ing children from their parents is void of justice, charity and compassion. This policy must be vigor-ously opposed. As Saint Augustine taught, “An un-just law is no law at all.” We cannot lose what is at the heart of this tragedy: the fact there are children and families in the cross-hairs of our government’s actions and that the trau-ma that these children suffer will have long term effects on their spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. We encourage Congress to fix our broken immigra-tion system, to honor promises made to children who were brought to the United States (“DACA recipients”), and to include the good of families in their deliberations. In closing, let us all remember the words ad-dressed to the Israelites on their desert journey: “You shall not oppress a resident alien; you well know how it feels to be an alien, since you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt” (Exodus 23:9). And let us treat with compassion those who today knock on the doors of our hearts. With every best wish and kind regard, I remain, Sincerely yours, Patrick J. McGrath Bishop of San Jose

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As Independence Day draws near, we think of the men and women of the military who serve with courage and competence, some far from home. How does the Church accompany them? In 1939, Pope Pius XII created an inde-pendent jurisdiction of the Catholic Church called the “Military Vicariate.” In 1985 Pope John Paul II created the “Archdiocese for Military Services, USA.” Spanning the globe and serving nearly one and a half million Roman Catholics, more than one thousand priests minister in hos-pitals, on military bases of all the armed forces, on ships at sea, and on the bat-tlefield. Also included are staff from the Veteran’s Administration Hospitals and the patients. The AMS does not ordain priests, but accepts priests on loan from religious orders and dioceses.

In 1824 a Jesuit priest named Adam Marshall enlisted in the Navy and died at sea in 1825. He was assigned as a “schoolmaster,” but he sought out and ministered to Catholic sailors. Twenty years later, President Polk was worried

that the war with Mexico was seen as anti-Catholic, so he recruited two Jesuit priests to serve in the army as chaplains. At the time of the Civil War, only about ten per-cent of Americans were Catholic. Military policies forced Catholic soldiers to attend Protestant ser-vices. The Church protested this rule, and many priests volunteered

to become chaplains. Their witness and the courage of the “Nuns of the Battle-field” (several orders of sisters who assisted Civil War victims) helped temper prejudice against Catholics and pave the way for the life and ministry of this vigorous and unique archdiocese.

Can you find these words from today’s Gospel hidden in the puzzle above? AFFLICTION ARISE CLOAK COMMOTION DOCTORS FAITH HEMORRHAGES JAIRUS JESUS PEACE SYNAGOGUE TEACHER TRUTH WEEPING WOMAN

DOS RELATOS DE SANACIÓN Un relato se trata del gran amor de un padre por su hija que agoniza. El otro acerca de una mujer desesperada que arriesga mucho al buscar que Jesús la sane. El oficial de la sinagoga es Jairo,

descrito como un hombre de alto rango en la comuni-dad Judía. Desconsolado por la salud grave de su hija, se acerca a Jesús para que él la sane. Sin recontar detalles, imaginamos que ha hija ha estado enferma por mucho tiempo y ahora deteriora su condición. Partien-do con Jairo, Marcos describa a otra persona que busca la sanación, una mujer que sufre de hemorragia. Esta en secreto toca a Jesús desde atrás y queda inmedi-atamente curada. Jesús da vuelta para preguntar quién lo tocó. Imaginen la escena. La gente presiona a Jesús y aun, notando que una fuerza curativa había salido de él, él voltea para preguntar quién lo había tocado. La mujer pudo haber permanecido anónima pero se acerca para reconocer lo que hizo. Jesús responde al reconocerla como ejemplo de fe y la despide con paz. A este punto, imagine la impaciencia de Jairo con Jesús; su hija agoniza y aun, Jesús no le ha ayudado. Encima de la urgencia, llegan de repente unos men-sajeros a confirmar el miedo más profundo: ha muerto su hija. Curiosamente, Jesús los ignora y asegura a Jairo. Llegando a la casa de Jairo, encuentren en luto a la familia y los conocidos a la luz de la muerte de la niña. Jesús entra al cuarto de la niña, la toma de la mano y pide que se levante. La fe de Jairo no ha sido en vano; su hija ha sido restaurada a la vida. Los con-trastes entre Jairo y la mujer con la hemorragia son fuertes y reveladores. Uno es hombre y la otra es mu-jer. Uno es alguien importante en la comunidad. La otra es una mujer que lo ha perdido todo para encontrar la curación a la condición que la ha apartado de la co-munidad. Uno se acerca a Jesús públicamente. La otra se acerca en secreto. Sin embargo, en cada caso, la fe los conduce a buscar a Jesús en su momento de nece-sidad. Nosotros también hacemos nuestro acto de fe al afirmar a Jesús como Hijo de Dios. Loyola Press

TWO STORIES OF HEALING One story tells us about a father’s great love for his dying daughter. The other is about a desperate woman who risks much as she seeks healing from Jesus. The synagogue official is Jairus, described as a man of con-siderable standing in the Jewish communi-

ty. Distraught over his daughter’s poor health, he approach-es Jesus and asks him to heal her. Without many details, we can imagine that his daughter has been ill for some time and that her condition is deteriorating. As Jesus leaves with Jairus, Mark describes a second person who seeks healing from Jesus, a woman with a hemorrhage. This woman se-cretly touches Jesus from behind and is immediately cured. Jesus turns and asks who touched him. Envision the scene. The crowds are pushing in on Jesus, and yet he, knowing that power has gone out of him, asks who touched him. The woman could have remained anonymous, yet she steps for-ward and acknowledges what she has done. Jesus responds

by acknowledging her as a model of faith and sends her away in peace. At this point, imagine Jairus’s impatience with Jesus; his daughter is dying and Jesus hasn’t helped him yet. Adding to the sense of urgency, messengers sud-denly arrive and confirm Jairus’s worst fear: his daughter has died. Jesus curiously ignores their message and reas-sures Jairus. When they arrive at Jairus’s home, they find family and friends mourning the girl’s death. Jesus enters the room of the dead girl, takes her by the hand, and in-structs her to arise. Jairus’s faith in Jesus has not been in vain; his daughter is restored to life. The contrasts between Jairus and the woman with the hemorrhage are stark and revealing. One is a man, the other is a woman. One is an important person in the community. The other is a woman who has lost everything to find a cure to a condition that separated her from the community. One approaches Jesus publicly. The other approaches Jesus secretly. Yet in each case, faith leads them to seek out Jesus in their time of need. We, too, make our own act of faith in affirming Jesus as God’s Son. Loyola Press

S aint of the Week

First Martyrs of the Church of Rome July 1 There were Christians in Rome within a dozen or

so years after the death of Jesus, though they were not the converts of the “Apostle of the Gentiles” (Romans 15:20). Paul had not yet visited them at the time he wrote his great letter in 57-58 A.D. There was a large Jewish population in Rome. Probably as a result of controversy between Jews and Jewish Christians, the Emperor Claudius expelled all Jews from Rome in 49-50 A.D. Suetonius the historian says that the expulsion was due to disturbances in the city “caused by the certain Chrestus” [Christ]. Perhaps many came back after Claudi-us’ death in 54 A.D. Paul’s letter was addressed to a Church with members from Jewish and Gentile back-grounds. In July of 64 A.D., more than half of Rome was destroyed by fire. Rumor blamed the tragedy on Nero, who wanted to enlarge his palace. He shifted the blame by accusing the Christians. According to the historian Tacitus, many Chris-tians were put to death because of their “hatred of the hu-man race.” Peter and Paul were probably among the vic-tims. Threatened by an army revolt and condemned to death by the senate, Nero committed suicide in 68 A.D. at the age of 31. Reflection Wherever the Good News of Jesus was preached, it met the same opposition as Jesus did, and many of those who began to follow him shared his suffering and death. But no human force could stop the power of the Spirit un-leashed upon the world. The blood of martyrs has always been, and will always be, the seed of Christians.

S anto de la Semana Los Primeros Mártires de la Iglesia Romana 1 de Julio Hubo Cristianos en Roma dentro de una docena

más o menos de años después de la muerte de Jesús, aun-que no fueron convertidos por el “Apóstol de los que no conocían la Buena Nueva” (Romanos 15:20). Aun Pablo no los había visitado cuando escribió su gran carta en el 57-58 A.D. Existía una gran población Judía en Roma. Pro-bablemente como resultado de la controversia entre los Judíos y los Judíos Cristianos, el Emperador Claudio ex-pulsó a todos los Judíos de Roma en el 49-50 A.D. Sueto-nio, el escolástico, dice que la expulsión fue debido a los estorbos en la ciudad “Causado por un cierto Chres-tus” [Cristo]. Tal vez muchos regresaron después de la muerte de Claudio en 54 A.D. La carta de Pablo fue dirigi-da a una Iglesia con miembros Judíos y los que no han re-cibido la Buena Nueva. En Julio de 64 A.D. más de la mi-tad de Roma había sido destruida por un incendio. Dicen que la culpa de la tragedia era el Emperador Nero, que qui-so ampliar el palacio. De acuerdo al historian Tacitus, mu-chos Cristianos fueron martirizadlos debido a su “odio por la raza humana.” Pedro y Pablo tal vez fueron contados entre estas víctimas. Amenazado por una rebeldía del ejér-cito y condenado a muerte por el senado, Nero se suicidó en el 68 A.D. a la edad de los 31 años.

Reflexión Cuando se predicaba la Buena Nueva de Jesús, se enfrentaba la misma oposi-ción que Jesús y muchos de sus seguidores compartían su mismo sufrimiento y muerte. Pero ninguna fuer-za humana podía detener el poder del Espíritu Santo sobre el mundo. La sangre de los mártires ha sido y siempre será, la semilla de los Cristianos.
