Special Collection – June 14th
Collection for the Archdiocese for the Military Services
Next week our parish will take up the Collection for the Archdiocese
for the Military Services, USA (AMS). The AMS relies solely on private
donors in support of its mission, “Serving those who serve” and its ministry to
provide the same pastoral care and services to Catholics serving in the United
States Armed Forces, enrolled in U.S. Military Academies, undergoing treatment
at any of the 153 Department of Veterans Affairs’ Medical Centers, working in
civilian jobs for the federal government beyond U.S. borders, and the families of
these populations, as does any other Catholic diocese. While the salaries and
retirement of Catholic military chaplains are paid for by the U.S. Government,
the AMS receives no funding from government or the military for its programs
and services, including the Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program, which provides
priests for home dioceses and for the military chaplaincy. To learn more, go to
www.milarch.org/nationalcollection.

LIVING THE LITURGY LIVING THE LITURGY LIVING THE LITURGY LIVING THE LITURGY ---- INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK Today we celebrate the Divine dance, a perfectly choreographed interplay of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Together they dance and move as one though three unique Persons with distinctive, yet harmonious, patterns and steps. They provide a mirror into our soul. Within each one of us, the Divine dance continues, and the music of God’s love continues to inspire, sustain, and recreate us with every step and melody. Can you hear the music that the Triune God is playing? Where is the dance leading you? Our minds can never truly understand or know God. But our hearts can seek and find Him. From beginning to end, God is one and, at the same time, Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier. God’s holy Trinitarian dance is calling you to holiness. Join in and dance! ©LPi

Where do you see these aspects of God in your life journey? Second ReadingSecond ReadingSecond ReadingSecond Reading We hear today one of the earliest New Testament references to the Holy Trinity in Paul’s closing remarks to the Christians in Corinth. For Paul, the Trinity embodies grace, love, and fellowship. What insight does this oKer us about our Triune God?

The Most Holy Trinity
“God did not send his Son into
the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be
saved through him. ”
John 3:16-18
How can we explain One God in Three Divine Persons so
that others might understand it? How can you define and
explain the incomprehensible? In fact, you can't. The Jewish
understanding of God reflected a relationship one might have
with a loving parent. Parents give us life. Teach us the ways of
faith. Inspire us to do good. God exists to give us life, teach us
His ways and inspires us to do good.
As the Church expanded into the Greek world, our
understanding of God took on a Greek mentality. Unlike the
Jews who were content with believing in only that God exists.
The Greeks prided themselves on their intellectual reasoning
and trying to define even the undefinable. Hence the Greek
mind needed to define God. The One God became Creator,
Word and Spirit. The Trinity became a dogma of our faith.
Our understanding of God can be as complicated as
One God in Three Persons or as simple as a loving Creator
who made us in His own image and likeness, gave us His Son
to die on the Cross for our sins, and gives us His Spirit to fill
us with His peace and forgiveness.
Fr. Walter Austin�

Ascension of Our Lord Catholic Church
Where is that guy with the rainbow wig holding a “John 3:16”
sign in the end zone at NFL football games? Younger
readers may not have any idea what I am talking about! You
used to see this guy on TV all the time wearing “Jesus Saves”
shirts and holding his sign. Most thought he was a harmless
guy, but now he is serving multiple life sentences for taking
hostages at a hotel near LAX in 1992. His name is Rollen
Stewart and he believed — and continues to believe while in
prison — that Jesus’ second coming is imminent. His
extreme actions were meant to make people take notice
and listen to him. Now he sits behind bars, and most in the
world see his name as nothing more than an answer to a
trivia question.
It is a sad story when people hurt others or use extreme
methods in the name of God. Mr. Stewart’s belief that
simply getting people to listen to his message is the most
important step in their salvation is misguided. His poor
stewardship should stand in stark contrast to our good
stewardship. Our actions, seasoned at times with our
words, should be the evidence people need to see the
transformative power of Jesus Christ. We do believe that he
is indeed coming again. But once you have committed
yourself to him and live in his life on earth, when he returns
is not our main concern. We are ready whenever that time
comes, and hopefully, we can help others be ready as well
by our example.
