May 26, 2013 - Trinity Sunday

SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND THE TRINITY If you sometimes find the Church's teachings incomprehensible, be encouraged by today's Gospel. Recognizing how bewildered his disciples have become, Jesus says, "I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now." Then he promises that "the Spirit of truth" will come to make things clear. Even with the coming of the Spirit, we never fully understand. Today we hear the ancient poetry of the book of

Proverbs, singing of God's wisdom "playing on the surface of his earth," delighting in humankind. We hear Paul boasting of his joy--not only in the blessings God sends, but even in "our afflictions." Theologians wrestle with the mystery of the Trinity; with the help of the Spirit they make that divine mystery a little more clear to the Church. We understand a little. But mostly we listen, we pray, and we ask the Spirit for more clarity. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Sir 17:20-24; Ps 32:1-2, 5-7; Mk 10:17-27 Tuesday: Sir 35:1-12; Ps 50:5-8, 14, 23; Mk 10:28-31 Wednesday: Sir 36:1, 4-5a, 10-17; Ps 79:8-9, 11, 13; Mk 10:32-45 Thursday: Sir 42:15-25; Ps 33:2-9; Mk 10:46-52 Friday: Zep 3:14-18a or Rom 12:9-16; Is 12:2-3, 4bcd-6; Lk 1:39-56 Saturday: Sir 51:12cd-20; Ps 19:8-11; Mk 11:27-33 Sunday: Gn 14:18-20; Ps 110:1-4; 1 Cor 11:23-26; Lk 9:11b-17

Today's feast, extending a dimension of Easter joy into Ordinary Time, reminds us that every aspect of worship centers on the mys-tery of God in three persons. At baptism, we are initiated into Christ and the Spirit. The Creed we recite at Mass every Sunday has its roots in the ancient celebration of baptism, when a new believer was questioned at the edge of the waters of the font with three questions: Do you believe in God, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit? Three questions, three affirmations, three immersions into the saving waters. Because every liturgy abounds with refer-ences to the Trinity, not only in words but in blessings by the sign of the cross, this feast was not easily accepted into the calendar. Pope Alexander in the eleventh century remarked that the liturgy is so laden with praise of the Trinity that there was no need for a special feast. Two hundred years later, while in exile in France, Pope John XXII proclaimed the feast, but it was not until 1911 that Pope St. Pius X gave it status as a solemnity. A favorite image in art for today is the Icon of the Trinity, show-ing three glorious winged men seated at a table laden with bread and a cup of wine. It recalls Abraham's hospitality to angels and gives expression to the inner life of God, a life lived in relation-ship, a life poured out in abundance whenever Christians gather at the table of the Eucharist to give praise to the Father, in Christ, in the embrace of the Spirit. --James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

The Parish Office will be closed

on Monday in observance of Memorial Day.

There will only be one

La Santísima Trinidad 26 de mayo de 2013

Dios ha infundido su amor en nuestros corazones por medio del Espíritu Santo.

— Romanos 5:5b

Domingo 26 de Mayo. Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Nosotros fuimos bautizados en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo y lo repetimos cada vez que nos signamos. Como católicos, todas nuestras obras, nuestras oraciones, nuestras reuniones, las comenzamos de la misma manera, en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo.

En el credo profesamos: Creo en Dios Padre todopoderoso, en Jesucristo, su único Hijo, Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida. Esta es nuestra fe, que, penetra toda nuestra vida, poniéndola enteramente bajo la presencia activa de Dios Padre, Dios Hijo, y de Dios Espíritu Santo.

El misterio de Dios uno y trino se revela como comunión de amor. No hay división en Dios. En Él subsisten todas las cosas, en Él vivimos, nos movemos y existimos. Pero Dios es amor, infinitamente bueno y rico en misericordia. Es únicamente en esa intimidad de amor donde todas las criaturas pueden encontrar su plenitud. Para nosotros, seres humanos, eso significa que sólo en unidad de amor y de comunidad podemos encontrar nuestro verdadero y pleno ser, nuestra realización como hijos de Dios.

El presente nos muestra y enseña que vivimos en un mundo que valora gradualmente el individualismo, el egoísmo y la libertad individual. En un mundo que constantemente crea y engendra seres solitarios, egoístas e individualistas, el misterio de la Trinidad nos revela que la persona no se realiza sino en comunión con los demás, que la verdadera libertad no se consigue hasta que todos seamos libres en comunidad y comunión de vida.

Decir que tenemos que estar unidos no significa que todos tengamos que ser, pensar y actuar de una misma manera. Las tres divinas personas son distintas. Dios Padre es creador de todas las cosas; el Dios que nos hizo a cada uno de nosotros maravillosamente. Dios Hijo es la Palabra de Dios hecha hombre, que vivió entre nosotros, sufrió, murió y resucitó de entre los muertos. El Espíritu Santo es Dios que vive en cada uno de nosotros, es el aliento que da vida, y que conduce a todos al Padre. Así también nosotros somos muy distintos unos de otros, pero juntos somos llamados a vivir en familia, puesto que todos somos hijos e hijas de Dios. El individualismo y el egoísmo nos pueden llevar a separarnos y alejarnos de Dios, porque sin Dios no somos nada. Es en la comunión, al estilo trinitario, donde se consuma toda nuestra vida y donde alcanzamos nuestra felicidad.

Vivir en cristiano significa ser trinitarios, es decir, esforzarse por vivir las relaciones filiales con el Padre cumpliendo su voluntad; es vivir las relaciones fraternales con Cristo colaborando con entusiasmo y entrega a la difusión de su reino y con el Espíritu Santo dejándose conducir dócilmente por él. P. Jairo Para pensarlo

Cuatro personas Esta es la historia de cuatro personas que se llamaban “Todo el Mundo“, “Alguien“, “Cualquiera“, y “Nadie“. Había un trabajo importante que hacer. “Todo el Mundo” estaba seguro de que “Alguien” lo haría. “Cualquiera” pudo haberlo hecho, pero “Nadie” lo hizo. “Alguien” se enojó porque era un trabajo para “Todo el Mundo“. “Todo el Mundo” pensó que “Cualquiera” podía hacerlo, pero “Nadie” se dio cuenta de que no se haría. Resultó que “Todo el Mundo” culpó a “Alguien“, pero en realidad no se acusó a “Nadie“.

Mañana lunes, 27 de mayo, 2013 la Oficina Parroquial estará cerrada por ser Memorial Day (Día de los Caídos). En caso de una emergencia y necesita un sacerdote por favor llame al 813-885-7861.

31 de mayo ♦ Visitación de María a su prima Isabel.

Dice el evangelio que María se puso en marcha en cuanto se dio cuenta de que su prima, ya mayor, podría necesitar ayuda durante su embarazo. María también estaba embarazada pero no lo dudo, pensando en que su prima la necesitaría más. Al llegar a donde Isabel estaba, las dos mujeres

reconocieron las grandes maravillas que Dios había hecho en ellas. Isabel reconoció que el niño que llevaba María en su vientre era el salvador. María entonces cantó el Magníficat en alabanza a Dios que le había elegido. ¿Cuáles son tus excusas más frecuentes para no acudir a ayudar a otra persona? ¿Te apresuras a asumir tareas de servicio a los demás que podrían suponer un sacrificio para ti?

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. REMANDO DURO Aprender es como remar cuesta arriba, si no avanzas retrocedes. —Proverbio chino

EL SACRIFICIO DE CRISTO Y EL SACRIFICIO NUESTRO Ofrezcamos a Cristo el sacrificio grande y universal de nuestro amor. Pues él se ofreció a Dios como sacrificio en la cruz para que todos fuésemos ricos. —San Efrén de Siria
