PRAYER TO OVERCOME RACISM Mary, friend and mother to all,
through your Son, God has found a way
to unite himself to every human being, called to be one people,
sisters and brothers to each other. We ask for your help
in calling on your Son, seeking forgiveness for
the times when we have failed to love and respect one another.
We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son
the grace we need to overcome the evil of racism
and to build a just society. We ask for your help in following your Son,
so that prejudice and animosity will no longer infect our minds or hearts
but will be replaced with a love that respects the dignity of each person.
Mother of the Church, the Spirit of your Son Jesus warms our hearts:
pray for us. Amen.

LOSE IN ORDER TO WIN It’s a natural experience to desire winning as most of us do not don’t like the experience of losing. Trying to live our faith can be truly challenging. We need to go through a constant conversion so it may change our way of seeing things.
In today’s Gospel we are invited, not to win but to lose, in order to win: “Whoever $nds his life will lose it, whoever loses his life for My sake will $nd it.” Jesus invites us to win by losing! Prior to hearing Jesus’ words we may ask ourselves: What and why should I lose? What will I $nd or win when I lose? Following Jesus certainly will imply losing many things in order to win greater ones: losing sel$shness to win self-giving or charity, letting go of resentments to live forgiveness, give up trying to control things and grow in our trust in God to take control.
The list can go on, and it’s an invitation for us to create our personal list (about what we need to lose in our lives in order to $nd our goal). But $rst we might ask ourselves: “What do I want to win in my life?” What we want to win should be great enough or we should at least know which things are ultimately of more value in order to be willing to lose.
The saints perfectly understood Jesus’ invitation that’s why they lived or died the way they did. One great example for us is Saint Paul. He showed with his life and death what winning was to him: “Life to me, of course, is Christ, but then death would be a positive gain.” Phil 1:21

- S E R V E - A NOTE FROM FATHER 28 JUNE 2020
Dear Friends,
One of the problems with the current state of policing is, well, policing. And the problem isn’t really so much with the police as it is with the politicians who direct the police on how to police. At some point, I think it was around the time when the “war on drugs” began, but the manner of policing went from having police function as Community Peace O!cers to being strictly Law Enforcement O!cers. So, for those who don't have criminal contact with police the contact is about tickets, fees and $nes. And the more police are pushed by politicians to $ll quotas of tickets, $nes and fees the more the municipalities are able to supplement their tax revenues.
The 2014 case of Eric Garner in NY, the man who died while police were arresting him was not just about the appropriate use of force but code enforcement. He was being arrested for selling loose cigarettes. Mayors don't like anyone selling loose smokes because no tax is collected. It was the elected leaders who told police to go after such civil violations. Add to this the fact that local police have been given military grade weapons and the training that goes with having them and the police today can be very intimidating which makes it harder for them to be a trusted Community partner. It creates a bad vibe between police and residents.
For an elected o!cial, using police to generate more revenue has become a budget item. Take for instance the issue of civil asset forfeiture. This is when police can seize property and money, they believe that was generated through criminal activity. So that fancy car you drive, if the police suspect it was purchased with the pro$t from illegal drug sales, they can seize the car and keep it. They don't have to prove in a court of law that it was ill-begotten but you have to prove it was not, using a very expensive byzantine system that will cost you more than the car is worth. On the Federal level this policy has been stopped unless it can be proven in a court of law that the property was ill-begotten. A few weeks ago, the AZ Legislature voted on a Bill to change the civil asset forfeiture process by requiring a conviction and guess what? All the Democrats with help from eight Republicans voted against it. As one State Legislature commented, it would hurt “agencies that rely on the revenue for their budgets.” The system provides a perverse incentive for taking property and antagonizing community members.
Or take the case of the arrest of Roger Stone, someone I know noth-ing about other than he is an old guy who lives in Florida with his wife and was under Federal investigation for lying to Congress. He had been tracked and followed for months, had no prior criminal or violent history. The police knew what if any $rearms he had purchased and yet when it was time to arrest him, Federal police showed up with a heavily armed SWAT Team, with a helicopter and a police boat in the middle of the night. Why such a display of force when the prosecutor could simply have called his attorney and told him to have his client turn himself in. The military-like tactics could and often end up poorly but they also make your average citizen less likely to trust the police.
As a result of the decades change in the manner of policing, for most people their interaction with police starts off negative. And it also produces incentives for some police to antagonize and prey on citizens to $ll their quota of tickets and arrests. It’s not, “happy to see you o!cer Lopez” but “what’s wrong, or what did I do wrong?”. It’s like getting called into the Principal’s o!ce; it’s not for a friendly chat. And I doubt the police like policing in this manner. But mayors and governors do since it adds cash to their bloated budgets.
So, am I suggesting a return to Mayberry? Well yes in fact, I am. What would it look like if we allowed police to return to being Community Peace O!cers? What would it be like if the police on a regular basis stopped in the local business or the Parish o!ce or the local community centers? Well we might actually get to know them and probably like them and more importantly probably trust them. It would also allow the police to keep a pulse on the community, what problems are boiling up, what tensions exist in the community and then use other community leaders to help lower the temperature, reduce the tension and $nd solutions to problems before they become criminal. Think of it, do you know the names of any of the police that patrol your neighborhood? How about the name of the captain of your Precinct? If you don't, I suggest contacting your local police precinct and at least in Tempe, you can take a tour of the Precinct, ask about how things work, take a ride during a police patrol and get to see things from a different angle. And become more informed about the changes that are needed in our system of policing.
The more we get to know our Police o!cers the less likely our encounters will be negative. Also, the less likely we are to judge them rashly when things go south and they are involved in a messy situation. And we can also send a message to our elected leaders to stop making policing all about law enforcement and generating revenue.
But the world is a dangerous place these days, drug cartels, terrorists and gangs. What about that? Well let the DEA do the heavy work with the cartels and gangs and DHS deal with the terrorists. The local police can provide good intelligence to these agencies without turning the local police into a para-military force.
The Police today are getting bashed for doing the job the people we elect tell them to do, with the policy and procedures and collective bargaining agreements that are signed off by the same elected o!cials. Maybe the change should start at that level $rst. If there is a problem with individual police, we can beef up our screening and training to get better ones. But we also have to allow the Police to get to know the community and change the way police o!cer’s performance is measured, not by the amounts of tickets and arrests but by other outcomes.
Love, Fr. John B.
