United in faith and guided by the Holy Spirit
From the Pastor’s Desk:
Dr. William Magee Jr. was a plastic
surgeon who lived in Norfolk, Va.
In 1981, Dr. Magee traveled to the
Philippines to operate on children
with cleft lips and other facial
deformities. Unfortunately, there
were so many children with this deformity, a deformity
that can render it impossible for them to speak or eat,
that hundreds had to be turned away. This caused Dr.
Magee and his wife to found an organization called
Operation Smile. Operation Smile sends volunteer
doctors to perform reconstructive facial surgery for
children worldwide. “It wasn’t a strategic plan,” said
Magee. “It was just a matter of emotion and passion to
make sure children didn’t have to live this way.” The
group, which already has treated 50,000 children
worldwide, also trains doctors in other nations to
perform the procedure. Magee hopes to use satellite
technology in the future, so he can teach a greater
number of medical professionals the necessary
techniques. Dr. Magee didn’t have to do that. He could
have justified himself. “What’s in it for me? There are so
many children in my own city whose parents or whose
insurance company could pay for this surgery. I’m a
busy doctor here. I don’t have to go halfway around the
world and minister to indigent children. Not my
problem.” I doubt if Dr. Magee even wondered if this act
of service would get him into Heaven. He simply saw a
need and filled it. He became a Good Samaritan,
encouraging fellow surgeons to become Good
Samaritans.
--------------------------------------------------------------------Danger of becoming a Good Samaritan: Shalom
Aleichem tells a delightful story about an old Jewish
man standing on a crowded bus. The young man
standing next to him asked, "What time is it?" The old
man refused to reply. The young man moved on. The old
man’s friend, sensing something was wrong, asked,
"Why were you so discourteous to the young man asking
for the time?" The old man answered, "If I have given
him the time of day, next he would want to know where I
am going. Then we might talk about our interests. If we
did that, he might invite himself to my house for dinner.
If he did, he would meet my lovely daughter. If he met
her, they would both fall in love. I don’t want my
daughter marrying someone who can’t afford a watch."
--------------------------------------------------------------------“Good Samaritan” to neighbor’s cat: Little Tim was in
the garden filling a hole when his neighbor peered over
the fence. Interested in what the youngster was doing, he
politely asked, "What are you up to there, Tim?" "My
goldfish died," replied Tim tearfully, without looking up,
"and I've just buried him." The neighbor said, "That's
an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it Tim?" Tim
patted down the last heap of earth, and then replied,
"That's because he's still inside your stupid cat."

Nota de nuestro pastor: El Dr. William Magee Jr.
fue un cirujano plás!co
quien vivió en Norfolk, Virginia. En 1981, el Dr. Magee
viajó a las Filipinas para operar niños con labio leporino y
otras deformidades faciales. Desgraciadamente, había
muchos niños con esta deformidad, una deformidad que
puede hacer imposible que ellos hablen o coman, y cientos
tuvieron que ser rechazados. Esto causó que el Dr. Magee
y su esposa fundaran una organización llamada Operación
Sonrisa. Operación Sonrisa envía a médicos voluntarios
para llevar a cabo cirugía facial reconstruc!va para niños
en todo el mundo. "No fue un plan estratégico", dijo
Magee. "Fue sólo una cues!ón de emoción y pasión para
asegurarse de que los niños no tuvieran que vivir de esta
manera". El grupo, que ya ha tratado a 50,000 niños en
todo el mundo, también capacita a los médicos de otras
naciones para realizar el procedimiento. Magee espera
u!lizar la tecnología satelital en el futuro, para poder
enseñar a un mayor número de profesionales de la
medicina las técnicas necesarias. El Dr. Magee no tenía
que hacerlo. Podría jus!ficarse a sí mismo "¿Qué beneficio
hay para mí? Hay muchos niños en mi ciudad cuyos padres
o cuya compañía de seguros podría pagar esta cirugía. Soy
un médico ocupado aquí. No tengo que ir alrededor del
mundo y dar ministerio a los niños indigentes. No es mi
problema". Dudo si el Dr. Magee incluso se preguntó si
este acto de servicio lo conduciría al cielo. Simplemente
vio la necesidad y la llenó. Llegó a ser un Buen
Samaritano, y alentó a otros cirujanos a ser Buenos
Samaritanos.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------El peligro de conver!rse en un Buen Samaritano: Shalom
Aleichem cuenta una historia encantadora sobre un
anciano Judío de pie en un autobús lleno de gente. El
joven parado junto a él le preguntó, "¿qué hora es?" El
anciano se negó a responder. El joven se movió. El amigo
del anciano, detectando que algo andaba mal, le preguntó,
"¿por qué fuiste tan descortés con el joven que te pidió la
hora?" El anciano respondió, "si le he dado la hora, luego
él querrá saber a dónde voy. Entonces podríamos hablar
de nuestros intereses. Si hiciéramos eso, se podría invitar
a mi casa para cenar. Si lo hiciera, él conocería a mi
encantadora hija. Si la conoce, ambos se enamorarían. No
quiero que mi hija se casase con alguien que no puede
comprarse un reloj."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------"Buen Samaritano" al gato del vecino: el pequeño Tim
estaba en el jardín rellenando un agujero cuando su vecino
se asomó encima del muro. Interesado en lo que hacía el
joven, educadamente preguntó, "¿Qué estás haciendo allí,
Tim?" "Murió mi pececito," contestó Tim con lágrimas en
los ojos, sin mirar hacia arriba, "y lo acabo de sepultar". El
vecino dijo: "Eso es un agujero muy grande para un
pececito, no Tim?" Tim le dio unas palmaditas al úl!mo
montón de !erra y luego respondió: "Es porque él todavía
está dentro de tu gato estúpido."

VATICAN CORNER Why is there a four
thousand year old Egyptian obelisk in the center of St.
Peter’s Square? An obelisk is a tall, four-sided,
narrow tapering monument made from a single stone
with a pyramid-like shape at the top. There are 28
obelisks still standing throughout the world, and those
outside Egypt were either plundered by foreign
invaders or given as gifts by the Egyptian government.
Thirteen stand in Rome, more than anywhere else,
including Egypt, which has 6 left. The ones in Rome
were brought there by various Roman Emperors.
Obelisks were constructed by the ancient Egyptians
long before the birth of Christ. They were placed in
pairs at the entrance to temples. No one knows
exactly why they were built, but it is thought that they
are associated with the Egyptian sun god, and perhaps
represented rays of light. They were often topped with gold, or a natural gold-silver alloy, in order to catch the first rays
of the morning light. No one knows exactly how they were constructed. The granite stone used is very hard and the metal
tools of the time were too soft. The Egyptians likely used hammers made of dolerite, a harder stone, and it would have
taken hundreds of workers a tremendous amount of time and effort to carve out an obelisk from the quarry and then
transport it to its final destination and stand it upright. The obelisk in St. Peter’s Square is call the Vatican Obelisk, and is
the only ancient Egyptian obelisk in Rome to have remained standing since Roman times. Little is known of its origins or
which Egyptian Pharaoh ordered its construction, but it was quarried in Egypt from red granite and intended to be erected
in Heliopolis, Egypt. History tells us the Roman Emperor Augustus ordered it to be placed in the Julian Forum in
Alexandria, Egypt between 30 and 28 BC. The Roman Emperor Caligula had it brought to Rome in 37 AD. Many Egypt
obelisks were inscribed with hieroglyphics, the Egyptians formal writing system, but this obelisk was the largest
non-inscribed one to leave Egypt, at 84 feet tall and 326 tons. It was originally erected in the Emperor’s gardens, and then
moved to the center point of Caligula’s circus of which much of the St. Peter’s Basilica and square now cover. “It was a
silent witness of the martyrdom of St. Peter and many other Christian at that Circus. The original spot for the obelisk was
near the present-day sacristy, standing there for 1,500 years until it was moved to its present location in Saint Peter’s
Square. In 1585 that move of 275 yards took thirteen months, used 900 workmen, 140 horses and 44 winches. The move
was the idea of Pope Sixtus V, to put it in a featured location. The large metal ball on top of the obelisk was long thought
to contain the ashes of Julius Caesar, but during the relocation, the ball was removed and found to be empty. The ball was
replaced with a cross containing a relic of the true Cross to put an end to the obelisk’s “impure superstition”. So, although
it had come from a pagan culture, it had been thoroughly “baptized” and now stands as an expression of the conquering
power of the Church. As a side note, the Vatican Obelisk has formulas of exorcism inscribed into its east and west sides,
and it also works as a sundial, telling time. Sources: britannica.com, Mentalfloss.com, archaeology-travel.com, womenof grace.com, civil.lindahall.org
