PAGE 3 La Santísima Trinidad THE INEXPRESSIBLE MYSTERY

The God of the universe is mysterious. Science has not been able to solve the mystery of how the universe came into being or explain exactly what continues to give it creative energy and masterful design. No religion as-serts that it has found words to name fully the ineffable mystery of God, for no matter what name we use, God always transcends our limited ability to understand. God is a mystery to be believed, not known. And yet, we Christians believe that our name for God best expresses that inexpressible mystery: God is the Most Holy Trinity of three persons united in a communion of love, pouring forth that creative, saving, sanctifying love into the world. Today’s scriptures celebrate the mystery of the Trinity and give us clues for living that mystery in our lives.

Question of the Week

First Reading — The LORD, merciful and gracious, rich in kindness and faithfulness (Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9). Psalm — Glory and praise for ever! (Daniel 3). Second Reading — Brothers and sisters, rejoice. Live with one another in peace, and the God of peace will be with you (2 Corinthians 13:11-13). Gospel — God did not send the Son to condemn the world, but to give it abundant life (John 3:16-18).

Question for Children: When people love each other, how do they treat each other? Question for Adults: If you were to encourage the mem-bers of your own parish to live as a “community of love,” which is how we define the Trinity, how would you ad-vise them to live? Use St. Paul’s list of exhortations as your starting point.

Monday: 2 Cor 1:1-7; Ps 34:2-9; Mt 5:1-12 Tuesday: 2 Cor 1:18-22; Ps 119:129-133, 135; Mt 5:13-16 Wednesday: 2 Cor 3:4-11; Ps 99:5-9; Mt 5:17-19 Thursday: 2 Cor 3:15 — 4:1, 3-6; Ps 85:9ab, 10-14; Mt 5:20-26 Friday: 2 Cor 4:7-15; Ps 116:10-11, 15-18; Mt 5:27-32 Saturday: 2 Cor 5:14-21; Ps 103:1-4, 9-12; Mt 5:33-37 Sunday: Dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a; Ps 147:12-15, 19-20; 1 Cor 10:16-17; Jn 6:51-58

Pregunta de la Semana

Lecturas de la Semana

Primera lectura — Moisés subió al Monte Sinaí y luego el Señor pasó delante de él (Éxodo 34:4b-6, 8-9). Salmo — ¡Gloria y alabanza por siempre! (Daniel 3) Segunda lectura — Trabajen para ser perfectos, anímen-se, tengan un mismo sentir y vivan en paz. Y el Dios del amor y de la paz estará con ustedes (2 Corintios 13:11-13). Evangelio — Dios mandó a su Hijo único al mundo para salvar el mundo por él. (Juan 3:16-18).

Pregunta para los niños: ¿Cuándo has escuchado tu voz interior o tu consciencia guiándote para hacer lo que es correcto? Pregunta para los adultos: Hable de los tiempos cuando sintió el poder del Espíritu, dándole las palabras correc-

Treasures from our Tradition

It is often heard that today’s observance is an “idea feast,” and that it is somewhat difficult to grasp its mean-ing. Other great solemnities, such as Christmas and Easter, have an easily grasped core. Yet, even though the Trinity is at the heart of our faith, firmly declared in the Creed since the Council of Nicea in 325, we are used to having people shrug and say, “Well, it’s a mystery.” Per-haps it is more helpful to think of this as a “relationship feast,” since it unveils our deepest identity. Dorothy Day was a great social reformer, pacifist, and ardent lover of the Trinity. When people told her that she would certainly be canonized one day (the process is indeed underway), she protested dismissively by remarking that people were raising a fuss just because she was not afraid to talk about God. She loved the Trinity, and treasured the traditional icon for the feast, also known as “The Hospitality of Abraham,” depicting the three angelic beings seated at a table tilted toward the viewer and laden with bread and wine. For her, the Trinity revealed the heart of the Catho-lic life, three C’s if you will: community, communication, and communion. That was not an “idea” for her, but what it means to be created in the image of the Triune God,

Let us continue to pray for our Armed Forces and their families. We thank God for the sacri-fices they make to ensure our freedom.

Jesus said: "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for

one's friends."

And that is exactly what our priests do for us. Your gifts will be a bless-ing of hope for all our priests facing retirement in the future. How will my donation make a difference?

Your donation will help to provide for the growing num-ber of priests who are eligible for retirement in the future. Your gift ensures they continue to live humbly and with dig-nity. Where does my gift go? Your generous gifts made to the Priest Retirement Fund go directly to the Priest Pen-sion Plan where they are in-vested and held in a trust ac-count. The pension plan pro-vides for the monthly pension and medical benefits of our currently retired priests and helps to fund the future retirement of our active priests. What are other ways that I can support our priests? • Pray for our priests • Make an in honor/in memoriam gift for a specific

priest (we will inform the priest or their families). • Make a charitable distribution from your financial

portfolio. Consider remembering the Priest Retirement fund in your estate planning.

7:30 pm Presider: Father Lester Niez

Father Louis Lester Niez is a member of the religious community of the Disciples of Mary. Cur-rently assigned as the Associate Pastor of St. Linus Church, Father has served 23 years in the priestly minis-try as Formator of Seminarians at different levels of for-mation. He was a member of the Council of the Disciples of Mary as well as a Spiritual Director to high school youth. He has facilitated retreats and recollections as well as presiding at healing masses and church missions for different groups, parishes and institutions both in the Phil-ippines and in the United States. He was involved with the Healing Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, a community that promotes healing of the family tree through the Eucharist, so that forgiveness is effected to promote heal-ing of generational family curses and sins. Fr. Les firmly believes that the foundation of his vocation is primarily his relationship between him and God; a deep, intimate, profound living and unceasing union with God in re-sponse to Him who loved us first. He said " I believe that everything I do and say is for God alone."

His personal motto: "Una sa lahat, bago ang lahat, higit sa lahat, sa kabila

ng lahat, si Lord pa rin, siya nawa." To translate, "First of all, before anything, more than everything, in spite of all and after all's over, it is God still and

Him still."

Come and receive the transforming healing touch of the risen Lord who continues to heal His people.

know that they are praying.

PAGE 7 La Santísima Trinidad The Most Holy Trinity

The Holy Trinity is one of those mysteries that we will never understand, yet we still believe. A homiletics teacher once warned never to speak of the Trinity for more than ten minutes, or for sure you would get into heresy. Good advice. It is easy to talk in circles around this great mystery and

never get close to understanding three Persons in One God. We are only one person each, and never one in being with another person. So how can we possibly understand this? We can’t. But we can contemplate the varied faces of Father, Spirit, and Son as they are presented to us in today’s scriptures, and give glory to God and believe.

GLORY AND PRAISE FOREVER When Moses went up Mount Sinai, God revealed the divine Self to him by name. “The LORD, the LORD, a mer-ciful and gracious God” (Exodus 34:6). In the Old Testament, we are accustomed to assuming that the “Lord GOD” indi-cates the Father only. But in the retrospect with which we look at these readings, we can see that the title is inclusive of the three persons of the Trinity. Never has there been any separation of the three persons in one God, and although there may be mention of only one person, it is understood that all three persons are present. Jesus taught many times that he and the Father are one, and that the Holy Spirit would come upon us and remind us of all things. We believe in God, creator of all that is, the Son, redeemer of our human lives and giver of eternal life, and the Holy Spirit, inspiration of the prophets and lover of all humanity; holy Wisdom, inspiring in us the understanding of all things holy.

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD When we hear in the oft-quoted text in John 3:16 that “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life,” we begin to see how language that expresses the sending of the Son fails to express the unity of the Holy Trinity. This failure of human language in the presence of the mystery of the Trinity is what makes it so hard to explain and comprehend. So how can we respond when we see a reference to “God”? We can strive to remember that God is three per-sons, not just one as we are, but one in being. Our best response is praise to the Holy Trinity. “Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, to God who is, who was, and who is to come.” And we can bless each other when we pray with Saint Paul, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you” (2 Corinthians 13:13).

Please join us as we say “Aloha”

Dear Parish Family, Because We Care Food Pantry serves approximately 70 needy families per month by giv-ing them various grocery and toiletry items to help sustain their families for about 2 weeks. We also hand out about 48 to 60 food bags to homeless people living within our parish community. Our regular food distribution days are the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month from 3-4:30pm. Our monthly expenses run close to $1,000 and we depend on the generosity of our parish family to keep this minis-try going. If you are in a position to help to our wonderful ministry, please consider becoming a regular monthly donor to help keep our pantry shelves stocked. Please call Barbra Manriquez at 562-900-9492 to see what our im-mediate needs are for the next distribution or simply choose a few items off the list below and bring them to the parish office.
