"A Sailor's Reward
By Chaplain Vincent Salamoni
A 16th century sailor earned a special reward from the Bishop
of Rome.
The 75-foot Egyptian obelisk that is in the middle of Saint Peter’s
Square in Vatican City didn’t always stand where it is now.
In the time of Emperor Nero (64 A.D.) it stood in the middle
of a public games building at the foot of Vatican hill. In 1586 the
monument was moved.
It was drawn by hundreds of horses and thousands of laborers.
They struggled with an enormous amount of beams, ropes and
scaffolding. It was a task that the army engineers did not relish.
The death penalty was ordered, in the tension, for any spectator
who said even one word. The officials wanted to make sure that the
workers would not be distracted and crushed by the bulky stone.
The ropes stabilizing the obelisk began to bum from excessive
friction. The odds were rapidly increasing that the needle shaped
mass would spin out of control.
A sailor in the crowd knew what was needed to avoid a disaster.
He disobeyed the order for silence and risking his life yelled out,
“Throw water on the ropes! Throw water on the ropes!”
People had enough presence of mind to heed his advice and the
move was completed without further safety mishaps.
The sailor was not executed for disobeying. On the contrary, he
and his family were granted a papal reward. It was the right to
supply palms to St. Peter’s Basilica on Passion (Palm) Sunday. His
family has the concession to this day.
The moral of the story is: do the right thing no matter what the
circumstances. You, your family and those around you will reap
benefits beyond your expectations.
