[email protected] May 22, 2016 The Most Holy Trinity JOURNEY OF FAITH We are on a long and eventful journey. Today’s readings for Trinity Sunday succinctly cover the depth and breadth of our human travels. The very beginnings of our journey are revealed in the reading from Proverbs. God’s plan filled with divine wisdom was born before the earth was made. In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of his own personal journey. He has come from the Father and will return to the Father. Only then will the Advocate—the Spirit of Truth—take us onward. This does not diminish the fact that the journey will be hard. The very setting of the Gospel is the night before Jesus died. As Saint Paul writes to the Romans, “We even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4). Ultimately, our human journey is modeled by the Holy Trinity—a family of love among Father, Son, and Spirit that we are all called to emulate. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Before anything was created, the wisdom of God was brought forth (Proverbs 8:22-31). Psalm — O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8). Second Reading — God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us (Romans 5:1-5). Gospel — Everything that the Father has is mine; the Spirit will take from what is mine and declare it to you (John 16:12-15).

All rights reserved SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: The Most Holy Trinity Monday: Eighth Week in Ordinary Time; Victoria Day (Canada) Wednesday: St. Bede the Venerable; St. Gregory VII; St. Mary Magdalene de’Pazzi Thursday: St. Philip Neri Friday: St. Augustine of Canterbury Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary 22 de Mayo, 2016 LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: La Santísima Trinidad Lunes: Octava Semana del Tiempo Ordinario; Día de la Reina Victoria (Canadá) Miércoles: San Beda el Venerable; san Gregorio VII; Santa María Magdalena de Pazzi Jueves: San Felipe Neri Viernes: San Agustín de Canterbury Sábado: Santa María Virgen La Santísima Trinidad VIAJE DE FE Estamos en un viaje largo y lleno de acontecimientos. Las lecturas de hoy para el Domingo de la Santísima Trinidad cubren sucintamente la profundidad y la amplitud de nuestros viajes humanos. Los comienzos de nuestro viaje se revelan en la lectura de Proverbios. El plan de Dios lleno de sabiduría divina nació antes de que la tierra existiera. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla de su propio viaje personal. Él ha venido del Padre y volverá al Padre. Sólo en ese momento el Paráclito –el Espíritu de la Verdad– nos llevará hacia adelante. Esto no disminuye la dificultad del viaje. El contexto mismo del Evangelio es la noche antes de la muerte de Jesús. Como san Pablo les escribe a los romanos, “Nos gloriamos hasta de los sufrimientos, pues sabemos que el sufrimiento engendra la paciencia, la paciencia engendra la virtud sólida, la virtud sólida engendra la esperanza” (Romanos 5:3-4). En última instancia, nuestro viaje humano está modelado por la Santísima Trinidad –una familia de amor entre el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu que todos somos llamados a emular. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Antes de que algo fuese creado, la sabiduría de Dios estaba presente (Proverbios 8:22-31). Salmo — ¡Qué admirable, Señor, es tu poder! (Salmo 8) Segunda lectura — El amor de Dios ha sido derramado en nuestro corazón mediante el Espíritu Santo que hemos recibido (Romanos 5:1-5). Evangelio — Todo lo que el Padre tiene es mío; el Espíritu de verdad tomará todo lo que es mío y te lo concederá (Juan 1:12-15).

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Around the turn of the fourth century, Augustine, still fairly fresh from the baptismal waters in Milan, was elected bishop of a tiny city in North Africa, Hippo. He told his people, “While I am frightened by what I am for you, then I am consoled by what I am with you. For you I am a bishop, with you I am a Christian.” He had his priorities right, and also knew that everyone coming from the water arises with a ministry, a specific role, in bringing about God’s kingdom. If we were asked to purge English of Greek vocabulary, we would gain an insight into key ministries in our church. Bishop, from the Greek episkopos, would become simply “overseer;” priest, from the Greek presybter, would become “elder;” and deacon, from the Greek diakonos, would be “servant.” Each title stands in relationship to all the baptized, serving the community, helping it to be the Body of Christ. In our deepest tradition, each of these ordained ministries is attuned to help us become our best selves, to hunger and thirst for the coming of God’s kingdom. The goal for each one of us is to be able to recognize the presence of Christ in worship and in service. Although only some of us are ordained to ministry, each of us is called to ministry. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Este domingo la Iglesia celebra la Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Este dogma acerca de la realidad de Dios es la clave para comprender la verdad de la religión cristiana. Mediante el poder del Espíritu Santo el Padre envió al Hijo como Salvador del mundo. Estas tres personas son un solo Dios. No es una doctrina fácil de comprender y mucho menos de pintar en arte sagrado. Sin embargo muchos artistas latinoamericanos han intentado pintar simbólicamente la verdad de la Santísima Trinidad. En muchos casos imaginan al Padre cargando a Jesús en la cruz y soplando sobre él el Espíritu en forma de paloma. A veces Padre e Hijo están entronados sobre las nubes soplando el Espíritu mutuamente y las alas de la paloma tocan los labios de ambos. En algunos casos el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo son tres cabezas que salen de un solo cuerpo. Seguido los tres tienen el mismo rostro distinguiéndose solo por el color de sus vestiduras o los símbolos que cargan. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
