Reflections from Fr. Brian
Fourth Sunday of Lent
Not long ago, a company in California opened Tinseltown Studios, a theme park devoted to celebrities and the power of stardom. Tinseltown had an interesting twist: for a measly $45 entrance fee, the guests would get to feel what it’s like to be fa-mous. Park employees were paid to fawn over visitors, cheer for them, line up along the streets and gawk at them, pester them for autographs. Paparazzi lurked around every corner, snapping photos of the park visitors. Reporters rushed up and asked for inter-views. Visitors’ images were digitally projected into their favorite movies, and Oscars were awarded for best performances, in short, they discovered in a superficial way what it meant to be a star! It might be interesting to note that Tinseltown Studious closed down after a few months of operation. I’m surprised that it closed. I thought that today everyone wants to be a celebrity. Everyone, to paraphrase pop artist Andy Warhol, wants his or her fifteen minutes of fame. What the world needs, though, is not more celebrities. What the world needs are heroes. George E. Knowles in his book “A World to Love” tells a dramatic story about an Italian fisherman named John Napolii. Napolii was returning with his catch of fish one foggy morning in 1955. He piloted his boat beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, into San Francisco harbor. What he saw next horrified him. There were people everywhere in the water. A hospital ship, The Netherlands, had collided with an oil tanker. People were shouting, “Help me! Save me! I’m drowning!” John Napolii carefully guided his fishing vessel to a cluster of drowning men. Quickly he began to pull them aboard one by one. Soon the small fishing boat was over-crowded. And John Napolii made one of the hardest decision of his life. He knew that the lives of those men were far more important than his small fortune of fish. Within minutes he dumped his entire cargo of 2,000 pound of fish, worth thousands of dollars, into the waters of San Francisco Bay and pulled more than 70 people aboard his boat. As far as this Italian fisherman was concerned there was something more im-portant than profits-and that was people. In my book, that makes John Napolii a hero. Greater love than this is hard to find. NOT SO, if you and I take our faith seriously. Jesus taught us and showed us the way. He’s given us the truth and revealed to us the secret of real life.
