— Matthew 28:19

THE MYSTERY OF THE BLESSED TRINITY Today we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. The Church sets aside this Sunday to focus our attention on the mystery of the Blessed Trinity, God who is one, but three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The first reading from Deuteronomy emphasizes both God’s awesome greatness and amazing nearness. It might seem beyond belief, but the God of all creation speaks to us, protects us, and guides us. The second reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans describes how we are to relate to the three persons who are one God. We are led by the Spirit to meet God the Father as adopted children.

Our adoption is such that we are even heirs with our brother, Christ, the second person of the Trinity, in whose sufferings we must also share. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus speaks with his authority as God and sends us to teach and baptize in the name of the Trinity.

Liturgy and the Holy Trinity

The Trinity is the central mystery of our faith. We believe that God is one, yet three: total unity and rich diversity. God is not a monolith, but a dynamic community of persons, a perfect, loving harmony of three. And the liturgy is the work of the Trinity. We begin all our liturgical celebrations with the sign of the cross, a reminder of our Trinitarian baptism, and the simplest of all professions of our faith. We believe that God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and we gather in the name of this triune God. Throughout the Mass, we address our prayers to God the Father, through Christ our Lord, in the Spirit’s power. And the Father hears our prayer, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of his Son by the Holy Spirit.

The Church is “the sacrament of trinitarian communion” (Sacramentum Caritatis, 16). It is the Trinity who holds us together as well. In the words of Saint Cyprian, we are “a people made one by the unity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” (quoted in Sacramentum Caritatis, 16).

Hoy celebramos la solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad.

La Iglesia dedica este domingo a centrar nuestra atención en el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad, Dios, que es uno, en tres personas: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.

La primera lectura de Deuteronomio hace énfasis en la grandeza imponente de Dios y su cercanía asombrosa.

Puede parecer increíble, pero el Dios de toda la creación nos habla, nos protege y nos guía. La segunda lectura, tomada de la carta de San Pablo a los Romanos, describe la forma en que se relacionan las tres personas que son un solo Dios. El Espíritu nos guía para cumplir con Dios Padre como hijos adoptivos. Nuestra adopción es tal que somos incluso los herederos de nuestro hermano, Cristo, la segunda persona de la Trinidad, cuyos sufrimientos también debemos compartir. En el Evangelio según San Mateo, Jesús habla con la autoridad de Dios y nos envía a enseñar y bautizar en nombre de la Trinidad. —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

La profesión de fe

Toda persona cree en algo de manera profunda. Como cristianos, manifestamos el conjunto de nuestras creencias en un escrito que se desarrolló durante el Siglo III de la historia humana. En el año 325, doce años después de que se dejó de perseguir a los cristianos, se convocó a una reunión de los obispos en la ciudad de Nicea, actual Turquía, reunion a la que se le llamó Concilio de Nicea.

Algunos de los obispos asistentes aún llevaban en sus cuerpos las marcas dejadas a causa de la tortura por haber proclamado con valentía su fe en Cristo, por haber vivido de manera heroica su fe cristiana. Durante esta reunión escribieron el “Signo”, que ahora llamamos Credo Niceno, es buena parte del Credo que proclamamos durante los domingos y las solemnidades. La segunda parte, por decirlo así, se escribió en otro Concilio, el de Constantinopla (actual Estambul, en Turquía, en el año 381). El texto escrito a partir de estos dos concilios es nuestro Credo o “Símbolo niceno-constantinopolitano”, en honor a los dos Concilios. Este símbolo o profesión de fe, puede hacerse también mediante la renovación de las promesas bautismales. —Miguel Arias, © J. S. Paluch Co.

False Church Representation

In light of the on-going issues from the Archdiocese, wherein persons are pretending to be priests, missionaries, and other representative of the Church, please be alerted that Fr. Art did not approve any one during this pandemic to come in our church or in our offices to speak on any subject matter.

We are changing our name, Religious Education to Family Faith Formation. Why? As Parents/

In addition to our name change we have merged elementary, JrHi and high school programs together. What does this mean for you? If you pay with check – you can pay with one check. Office hours will be the same for all.

We are taking registrations for 2021-22 – please email, [email protected] and we will email you an instruction and registration sheet. You can also email this address if you are interested in volunteering.

Please read this section every Sunday – there will be more information forthcoming in the weeks ahead.

Fomentar el cuidado de los niños

Criar niños amables es un trabajo duro, pero fundamental para su éxito como adultos católicos fuertes. Los padres pueden modelar el cuidado y la bondad en el hogar, haciendo obras de caridad, haciendo voluntariado, ayudando a amigos y a familiares. Permita que sus hijos participen en sus esfuerzos y anímelos a realizar sus propios actos de bondad. Reconozca y elogie los actos de bondad de sus hijos cuando ocurran, pero sin resaltarla como un comportamiento “extra especial”. Hacer que la bondad sea parte de su vida familiar diaria ayudará a sus hijos a desarrollar hábitos que crecerán con el tiempo.

Fostering caring in children

Raising kind children is hard work, but critical to their success as strong Catholic adults. Parents can model caring and kindness in the home, doing charity work, volunteering, helping friends and family. Get your children involved with your efforts and encourage them to make their own acts of kindness. Recognize and praise kindness when you see it, but without rewarding it as “extra special” behavior. Making kindness a part of your everyday family life will help your children build habits that grow over time.
