Do you give your time freely or do you “fit it in” when it’s convenient for you?

One of the forces that gave shape to the Hebrew people in the Old Testament was the strong sense of their unique relationship with God. Unlike the pagan religions that existed around them, the worship of the Jewish people was a free response to a God who had revealed himself by drawing close to the people. Ever so gradually the people of Israel began to realize that at the heart of their uniqueness lay the fact that they did not have to guess about the existence of their God or about their relationship with God. Their God began to reveal himself to them through mighty acts, through saving events, and through the teaching of the patriarchs and prophets. The people began to formulate their understanding of their God and in essence proclaimed, “Our God is a God who speaks and makes himself known to us!” And this special revelation gave rise to something else quite unique for the Hebrew people: a bond and relationship between God and his people that no other people had ever experienced. God entered a solemn covenant with Israel, a bond based upon trust, truth, and loving affection. God said to them, “I will be your God and you will be my people.” However this wonderful insight was only a preparatory step for an even greater revelation that is announced in today’s Gospel account: “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.” And it would be the Son, Jesus Christ, who gave us the fullness of the revelation about the very interior life of God we are invited to share. The Church has come to call this revelation the mystery of the Holy Trinity. Thr ough the pr ayer and r eflection on the Scr iptur es by the ear ly ecumenical councils and the Fathers, the Church arrived at the creedal statement about the God of revelation: there are three persons in one nature. While these words (chosen from Greek philosophy) do help in our attempt to understand this important truth of revelation, this formula still does not lay open for us the full mystery of the Trinity. It might be more accurate to say that we believe that our God is something like three persons in one divine nature. But the inadequacy of human language really does not matter. The truth of revelation is that the constant flow of divine life and love that makes up the inner nature of God is not a closed circle. It has broken open in Jesus Christ and now all humanity has been invited into intimacy with God. We are not just God’s creatures. We are the adopted children of God and we shar e in God’s ver y own life! Fr. Chester Borski COLLECTION—FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI On the Feast of Corpus Christi (Sunday, June 22) the total offertory in every parish of the archdiocese is dedicated to the support of those studying for the priesthood. For 2014-2015 over a million dollars is needed from this collection to support our seminarians studying for the priesthood. To achieve this goal, Archbishop DiNardo requests that you double the amount of your regular church support for the weekend of June 21-22. If each contributor will do this, the needed subsidy will be met by this collection. In gratitude for the incomparable gift of the Holy Eucharist which is inseparably joined to the priesthood, please do your part to help the archdiocese provide priests for the sake of your future by praying daily for vocations and supporting this collection. FATHER’S DAY BLESSING God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Martha's Kitchen congratulates all recent graduates and are praying for you as you continue your education or career. We also wish all parishioners a safe and restful summer! Please remember your special Martha's Kitchen envelopes and to mark your donation "for Martha's Kitchen" on your check or envelopes. God Bless!

ST. MARTHA'S ANNUAL NFP CLASS Married and engaged couples are excited and are registering to attend St. Martha's Annual NFP class taught by parishioners Chris and Marion Dickson! If you are curious about this beautiful way to live out God's call in marriage, please join us to see what it is all about!! Our first of three classes begins on Sunday, June 22nd, and childcare is provided if there is a need. Important for you to know: this is not the rhythm method. The Standard Sympto-Thermal Method, based on over 50 years of research primarily by Austrian doctor Dr. Josef Roetzer, is scientific and upholds the church's sacred view of marriage and family. This method is safe and healthy, effective for planning a family (including for couples with low fertility), for postponing pregnancy, and is morally correct. Did you know that our Archdiocese is offering Natural Family Planning courses throughout the year in varying parishes? If the scheduled times below don't work with your schedule, please see the fabulous website on NFP recently launched by our Archdiocese to find a class time and date that works for you. The website also contains information on married love, infertility and NFP, and medical research: www.nfpst.org. Details: The course consists of three classes, each taken in chronological order, and is on the Standard Sympto-Thermal Method type of NFP. Class dates for the course are the following Sundays from 2:00 4:00 pm in Room 2 at the Woodland Hills Campus: June 22nd, July 20th, and August 24th. The cost for the entire course is $60.00, which covers the cost of the course and materials. If there is an issue with the cost, please let us know.

Instructors, Christopher and Marion Dickson, is completed through e-mail, with SST Registration in the Subject Heading: [email protected].

Ministerio Hispano Para la familia de la parroquia de Santa Marta, Al celebrar la solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad, centremos nuestra atención en Dios que nos ha elegido para compartir su intimidad divina con nosotros los seres humanos. Una de las fuerzas que dieron forma al pueblo hebreo en el Antiguo Testamento era el fuerte sentido de su relación única con Dios. A diferencia de las religiones paganas que existían a su alrededor, el culto del pueblo judío fue una respuesta libre a un Dios que se había revelado por acercarse a la gente. Poco a poco el pueblo de Israel comenzó a darse cuenta de que en el corazón de su singularidad estaba el hecho de que ellos no tienen que adivinar sobre la existencia de su Dios o acerca de su relación con El. Su Dios comenzó a revelarse seles a través de hechos poderosos, a través de acontecimientos, y por medio de las enseñanzas de los patriarcas y de los profetas. La gente comenzó a formular su comprensión de su Dios y en esencia proclamado: "Nuestro Dios es un Dios que habla y se nos da a conocer!" Y esta revelación especial dio lugar a otra cosa muy singular para el pueblo hebreo: un enlace y relación entre Dios y su pueblo que ninguna otra persona nunca habían experimentado. Dios entró en un pacto solemne con Israel, un vínculo basado en la confianza, la verdad, y el afecto amoroso. Dios les dijo: "Yo seré vuestro Dios y vosotros seréis mi pueblo." Sin embargo, esta maravillosa visión era sólo un paso preparatorio para una mayor revelación que se anunció en el relato del Evangelio de hoy: "Tanto amó Dios al mundo que dio a su Hijo único, para que todo el que crea en él no perezca, sino que tenga vida eterna”. Y sería el Hijo, Jesucristo, quien nos ha dado la plenitud de la revelación de la vida interior misma y de Dios nos invita a compartir. La Iglesia ha venido a llamar a esta revelación el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad. A través de la oración y la reflexión sobre las Escrituras de los primeros concilios ecuménicos y de los Padres, la Iglesia llegó a la afirmación de credo sobre el Dios de la revelación: hay tres personas en una naturaleza. Si bien estas palabras (elegidos de la filosofía griega) ayudan en nuestro intento de comprender esta importante verdad de la revelación, esta fórmula todavía no nos abre al misterio completo de la Trinidad. Tal vez sería más exacto decir que creemos que nuestro Dios es algo así como tres personas en una naturaleza divina. Pero la insuficiencia del lenguaje humano realmente no importa. La verdad de la revelación es que el flujo constante de la vida divina y el amor que constituye la naturaleza interior de Dios no es un círculo cerrado. Se nos ha abierto en Jesucristo y ahora toda la humanidad ha sido invitada a la intimidad con Dios. No somos sólo criaturas de Dios. Somos los hijos adoptivos de Dios y compartimos su propia vida de Dios! Fr. Chester Borski Libertad para Servir La Quincena por la Libertad: Libertad para Servir tendrá lugar del 21 junio hasta 4 julio 2014, un momento en que nuestro calendario litúrgico celebra una serie de grandes mártires que permanecieron fieles en medio de la persecución por el poder político-St. Tomás Moro y San Juan Fisher, San Juan Bautista, SS. Pedro y Pablo, y los primeros mártires de la Iglesia de Roma. El tema de la Quincena de este año se centrará en la libertad para servir a los pobres y vulnerables de acuerdo con la dignidad humana y la enseñanza de la Iglesia.

Ministerio Hispano Domingo de la Santísima Trinidad Reflexión sobre las lecturas: El pasaje del Evangelio de San Juan 3,16 es uno de los más citados: “Porque Dios amó tanto al mundo, que entregó a su Hijo único para que todo el que cree en él no muera, sino que tenga Vida eterna.” El mayor gesto de amor de la historia del universo, Dios, nuestro creador, nos manda a Jesús, su Hijo único, para salvarnos del pecado y abrirnos las puertas del cielo. Dios es amor y nos lo demuestra con el ejemplo perfecto de ese amor, da su vida por nosotros. Si solo creyéramos esta prueba de amor por Dios, eso bastaría para cambiar nuestras vidas. No podemos ser los mismos después de darnos cuenta del amor que Dios nos tiene. Nuestra única respuesta debe ser amar a Dios como le corresponde, con todo nuestro corazón, con toda nuestra alma, con todas nuestras fuerzas y con todo nuestro espíritu. Sólo entregando nuestras vidas a Dios corresponderemos a ese amor infinito que Dios tiene por nosotros. Compromiso de la semana: Escribiré y memorizaré el pasaje del Evangelio de San Juan 3,16, para poder meditarlo diariamente y así poder apreciar el amor infinito que Dios me tiene.

We are in need of volunteers to assist with the sound board ministry, par ticular ly for Sunday 7:00 Mass, but also for other Masses as well (2-3 volunteers for each Mass is ideal to allow for vacations and other scheduling issues). Please contact Bill Phillips at 713-419-9277 (cell) if you are interested. Some working knowledge of sound systems is helpful but not a requirement. Kingwood Mobility Study: If you were not able to attend the Kingwood Mobility Public Meeting on May 13th it’s not too late to voice your mobility concerns. The Kingwood Mobility Steering Committee and Gunda Team have placed an online survey to send in comments. They are seeking input from the Kingwood Community for traffic problem areas and future traffic solutions to Kingwood traffic problems. This would be a great place to indicate your desire for a traffic light at the entrance to Woodridge Parkway at Northpark Drive. The survey website is: www.surveymonkey.com/s/kingwoodmobility Surveys will be accepted until June 30, 2014. The Kingwood Mobility website: http://gundacorp.com/kingwood-mobility will continue to stay up and be updated as new information is made available through the duration of the study, which is at least to the end of this calendar year. Comments can be e-mailed to [email protected] . On June 8th, three of our fellow parishioners began their 40 day, 500 mile pilgrimage to The Camino de Santiago in Spain. For thousands of others who have taken this pilgrimage over the past centuries it has turned out to be a faith-filled and extremely spiritual journey. Donna Rueby, Sandie Taylor, and Krista Rueby have decided not only to follow the footsteps of St. James as he spread the Word of the Gospel; but they have also decided to walk their journey for another cause, to serve the Church by raising funds in support of vocations. A fundraiser has been established in support of initiatives for the newly formed local Chapter of The Serra Club. As you may have read over the past several months, The Serra Club Northeast of Houston is new to St. Martha with the official Charter scheduled for July 19, 2014. The Serra Club’s mission is to promote and foster vocations to the priesthood and religious life. The fundraiser is entitled “A Walk for Vocations”. As the ladies make this journey they will be asking God for help by sending us holy men and women willing to serve as priests, religious, and deacons. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards the initiatives of the club. All donations are tax deductible and any amount will be greatly appreciated. With your help, these Pilgrims hope to raise $10,000 for the newly formed Serra Club! Visit their website and walk with them on their 40 day Spiritual journey http://www.youcaring.com/nonprofits/a-walk-for-vocations/139427 ITALY PILGRIMAGE WITH ST.
