FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Parishioners:
"We are invited to contemplate, so to speak, the Heart of God, his deepest reality which is his
being One in the Trinity, a supreme and profound communication of love and life. The whole of
sacred Scripture speaks to us of him. Indeed, it is he who speaks to us of himself in the Scriptures and reveals himself as Creator of the universe and Lord of history.” (Benedict XVI on the
Holy Trinity)
A couple of weeks ago I announced that I was leaving after my superior had worked on a new
assignment for me. It was a “done deal” and I was going to go to Iceland where my Institute
runs two parishes.
In the meantime there has been some considerable change of circumstances and I was asked to
stay at St Leo’s and Bishop McGrath has agreed. I look forward to continue working with you
and ask you to support the community, mainly throughout our centennial celebrations and in all
the projects in which we embark.
God bless you all.

DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PÁRROCO
Queridos Fieles:
"En esta solemnidad [de la Santísima Trinidad], la liturgia nos invita a alabar a Dios no sólo por
una maravilla realizada por él, sino sobre todo por cómo es él; por la belleza y la bondad de su
ser, del que deriva su obrar. Se nos invita a contemplar, por decirlo así, el Corazón de Dios, su
realidad más profunda, que es la de ser Unidad en la Trinidad, suma y profunda comunión de
amor y de vida. Toda la sagrada Escritura nos habla de él. Más aún, es él mismo quien nos habla de sí en las Escrituras y se revela como Creador del universo y Señor de la historia.” (Benedicto XVI sobre la Santísima Trinidad)
Hace un par de semanas anuncié que a pedido de mis superiores había recibido un nuevo destino, y debería dejar nuestra parroquia de San León Magno. Nuestro Instituto tiene una misión
en Islandia, y consiguientemente, ese sería mi nuevo destino.
Sin embargo, en las últimas dos semanas, hubo un cambio importante de circunstancias y mis
superiores han decidido que continúe en esta parroquia, con el beneplácito del señor Obispo
McGrath.
Les pido a todos que sigan apoyando los proyectos de nuestra parroquia especialmente durante
las celebraciones de nuestro centenario.
Dios les bendiga abundantemente.
Padre Marcelo
LA TRINIDAD DE AMOR
Una de las más antiguas, más poéticas y más
hermosas descripciones de la Santísima Trinidad se
halla en le libro De Trinitate, por san Agustín. Allí,
el santo describe a la Trinidad como Uno que ama
(el Padre), Uno que es amado (el Hijo) y Uno que es
el amor (el Espíritu Santo). Y esos tres Unos suman
Uno solo.
Tal vez lo mejor para nosotros sea dejar las
dificultades técnicas de este misterio a los teólogos
profesionales, y enfocarnos en el hecho que las tres
Personas de la Santísima Trinidad son precisamente
personas; se les conoce y se les comprende en su amor
mutuo y en su amor hacia nosotros. Hemos sido
creados a imagen y semejanza de esas tres Personas
amorosas, y nuestras mejores relaciones se viven en el
contexto del amor. Las relaciones verdaderamente
amorosas son misterios inagotables que se expresan en
una profunda felicidad. Y si esto es así en nuestras
relaciones humanas, ¡cuánto más lo será en nuestra
relación con la Santísima Trinidad! Y, ¡cuánto más
somos llamados a dar un testimonio alegre y amoroso
de este sagrado misterio de los Tres que son Uno! Este
es el misterio que fuimos llamados a vivir cuando
fuimos escogidos como hijos de Dios, bautizados en el
nombre del Padre, del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo.
THE TRINITY IS LOVE
Theologians throughout the Christian centuries
have spilled much ink (and, on occasion, some
blood) in describing and defining the mystery of the
Holy Trinity. One of the earliest, most poetic, and
beautiful descriptions comes from St. Augustine in
De Trinitas, wherein he describes the Trinity as One
(the Father) who loves, One (the Son) who is loved,
and One (the Spirit) who is love. And these three
Ones are also one Three.
It might be wisest for us to leave the technical
wranglings to the academic theologians, and focus
on the fact that the three Persons of the Trinity are
indeed persons; they are best known and understood
in their love for each other and for us. We are made
in the image of those loving persons, and our best
relationships are lived out in the context of love.
Truly loving relationships are inexhaustible mysteries to be lived in joy. If this is true of our human relationships, how much more so is it true of our relationship with the Trinity. And how much more does
it call upon us to be joyful, loving witnesses of the
holy mystery of the One in Three. This is the mystery to which we were called when we were chosen
to be God’s own, baptized with water in the name of
the Holy Trinity.
MEMORARE
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that
never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession
was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly
to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I
come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O
Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
PRAYER TO SAINT MICHAEL
THE ARCHANGEL
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares
of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host by the
Divine Power of God—cast into hell, satan and all
the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
ACORDAOS
Acordaos, oh piadosísima Virgen María!, que jamás
se ha oído decir que ninguno de los que haya acudido
a Vos, implorado vuestra asistencia y reclamado
vuestro socorro, haya sido abandonado de Vos. Animado con esta confianza, a Vos también acudo, oh
Virgen, Madre de la vírgenes, y aunque gimiendo
bajo el peso de mis pecados me atrevo a comparecer
ante Vuestra presencia Soberana. No desechéis oh
purísima Madre de Dios mis humildes súplicas, antes
bien, escuchadlas favorablemente. Así sea.
ORACION A SAN MIGUEL ARCANGEL
San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la batalla; sé
nuestro amparo contra la perversidad y asechanzas
del demonio. Reprímale Dios, pedimos suplicantes, y
tú, Príncipe de la Milicia Celestial, arroja al infierno
con el divino poder a Satanás y a los demás espíritus
malignos que andan dispersos por el mundo para la
perdición de las almas. Amén.
