ORDINARY TIME

Ancient Math and Mystery of Love Mary Stommes, Give Us This Day, May 2018 Overheard on the Catholic school playground, rising above all the joyful spring me screeching and cha er, the voice of a li le boy atop the sprawling playground climber: “Oh yeah? You don’t even know what two plus two equals.” The height of insult. Some things never change, or change only incrementally over a very long

me. Evidently, knowing what one plus one equals is now common kindergarten knowledge. The advanced math made me laugh. A minute later, s ll smiling, I was inside the church for the funeral of a dear aunt who had died just shy of her eighty-ninth birthday. She’d been a lifelong member of that parish, bap zed there—along with her twin sister—in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. One God in Three Persons—ancient math and mystery of love. Several years before my aunt entered the waters of bap sm and the communion of saints (forget trying to wrap your head around that math), her future husband had been bap zed at the same font. Only God could have known that years later the two of them would stand before the altar there and be united in marriage. Theirs was a marriage made in heaven, a reflec on on earth of the God who blessed it, Father, Son, and Holy

Spirit. Communion of Love. Love begets love, and my aunt and uncle were blessed with seven children, bringing each in turn to the same bap smal font. One can imagine the heavenly chorus singing, “Here they come again! O, what joy!” And to the newly bap zed, “Welcome, dear li le one, to the communion of saints!” Each addi on a unique and gi ed individual. Yet somehow, one individual plus one individual—plus one zillion individuals—s ll equals One. One Love. Three of my cousins died far too young. My uncle would follow them, also too soon. All four had been commended to God for eternity in that parish. The greater the love, the greater the loss. Addi on is easier than subtrac on. How could we bear it without the communion of saints? Without the Father who creates, the Son who redeems, and the Spirit who sanc fies. The Love that holds us in this life and leads us to life eternal with those who go before us. It is never to a distant throng that we sing during the Rite of Final Commenda on. And so for my aunt on that beau ful day last May: “Receive her soul, O holy ones, present her now to God most high.” All was quiet on the playground as we le church. Back in their classrooms, some of the children were probably learning that one plus one does not always equal two. And perhaps learning a song to accompany the math ever-Ancient and ever-New: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty . . . God in three Persons, Blessed Trinity.” Forget trying to wrap your head around the mystery. Only the heart can be drawn there. Mary Stommes is editor of Give Us This Day.

Books of Interest The Source of All Love: Catholicity and the Trinity By Heidi Russell (Orbis books, 2017) Catholicity in an Evolving Universe Series edited by Ilia Delio

A fresh approach to an age-old doctrine, which brings together theology and science to reveal an ac ve, conscious, omnipresent power of Love that never began, never will end, and guides the universe and everything in it. The key to spiritual evolu on is awareness and

par cipa on. Theologian Russell inspires us to see that Trinity is not only the ground of our being, but also the goal of an evolving universe. She shows how the idea of catholicity – a sense of wholeness – orients us toward universality and mo vates us to turn together as one. It is Trinity that empowers all of life to become whole and unified in love. This is, in truth, what we always are and what we will become.

Heidi Russell is the M.Div. Graduate Program Director and an assistant professor at the Ins tute of Pastoral Studies, Loyola University Chicago. She is the author of The Heart of Rahner and many ar cles in interreligious journals.

Memorial Day Prayer

God of power and mercy, you destroy war and put down earthly pride. Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears, that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters. Keep in your mercy those men and women who have died in the cause of freedom and bring them safely into your kingdom of jus ce and peace. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. — Catholic Household Blessings & Prayers

LIVING OUR FAITH

Witnesses for Our Time

St. Ursula Ledóchowska Founder, Grey Ursulines (1865–1939) Her feast day is May 29.

It is not enough to pray, ‘Thy Kingdom come,’ but to work, so that the Kingdom of God will exist among us today. Julia Ledóchowska was born into a remarkable Polish family. Her younger brother became provincial superior of the

Jesuits in Poland, while a younger sister, founder of the Sodality of St. Peter Claver, was bea fied in 1975. In 1886 Julia entered the Ursuline Order and assumed the religious name of the order’s patron saint. She spent the next twenty-one years in the convent in Krakow.

In 1907 she was among several sisters sent to St. Petersburg to run a boarding school for girls. From there, a er the outbreak of World War I, she moved to Stockholm and Denmark, where she established a school for girls and helped with war refugees. With the establishment of an independent Polish republic, she and her sisters returned to Poland. There, with support from Rome, she established a separate Ursuline congrega on known as the Grey Ursulines, who combined educa on with work among the poor.

By the me of her death on May 29, 1939, she had become an important figure in the religious and cultural life of her country. In his homily at her canoniza on in 2003, Pope John Paul II hailed her as “an apostle of the new evangeliza on, demonstra ng a constant meliness, crea vity, and the effec veness of gospel love by her life and ac on . . . From her we can learn how to put into prac ce every day the ‘new’ commandment of love.”

Confirmation - May 12, 2018 First Communion - May 13, 2018

Today’s Responsorial Psalm The responsorial psalm for this weekend is Psalm 33, a hymn in which we are invited to praise God, who by a mere word created the universe of the heavens, the cosmic water, and the earth. Human words, in contrast, effect nothing. The

greatness of human beings consists in God’s choosing them as a special people and their faithful response. Our response today is Blessed the people the L has chosen to be his own.

Jaime Cortez has set Psalm 33 to music in his composi on called Rain Down (1991). This hymn is #601 in Breaking Bread 2018.

Rain down (2) Rain down your love on your people. Rain down (2) Rain down your love, God of life.

Faithful and true is the Word of our God All of God's works are so worthy of trust God's mercy falls on the just and the right Full of God's love is the earth.

We who revere and find hope in our God Live in the kindness and joy of God's wing God will protect us from darkness and death God will not leave us to starve.

God of crea on, we long for your truth You are the water of life that we thirst Grant that your love and peace touch our hearts All of our hope lies in you.

YOUTH CORNER

Explaining the Trinity to Your Children

With thanks to Philip Kosloski, posted at https://aleteia.org on June 10, 2017 It is not so evident how to present this complex belief in a way that your children will understand. One of the most fundamental beliefs of Christians everywhere is the belief in the Holy Trinity, the confession that God is one in substance and three in person. This is a belief that God has revealed to us, most explicitly through the incarnation of Jesus and the sending of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. This is a mystery of our faith and no one can truly understand it fully. Then there is the challenge of taking such a complex concept like the Trinity and making it easier for your children to grasp. For most of us, the task is daunting.

A Trinitarian Diagram

There is an ancient Trinitarian diagram that helps explain who God is and the relation of the three divine persons. The diagram helps show visually how each of the three persons is God, but remain distinct from the others. This image can be helpful for children who are beginning to grasp the reality of the Trinity. Trinity as the Speaker, the Word, and the Breath Another way to explain the Trinity is to use a traditional image used by the Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains how, “When the Father sends his Word, he always sends his Breath.” (CCC 689) From Scripture we hear of Jesus spoken of as the Word of God and the Holy Spirit is often referenced as the Breath. (“He breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit'” – John 20:22). This analogy makes God the Father the Speaker. The Word that he utters is God the Son. And the Breath he uses to speak his Word is God the Holy Spirit. Of course, God has neither a mouth nor breath. The image is drawn from our experience of speaking, where spoken words cannot exist without breath: there can be no word without a breath and no breath without a speaker. Additionally, a word requires a speaker and a speaker needs breath to give voice to a word. When we apply this experience to God, we can say that in God the Speaker, the Word, and the Breath are all united yet distinct. Rublev’s Trinity Icon

There are numerous depictions of the Trinity in art, but one of the most symbolic that Christians around the world repeatedly use is that of Russian iconographer Andrei Rublev. It is one that various Orthodox churches have kept through the centuries and continue to rely on. The symbolism of the image is meant to summarize the Church’s belief in the Holy Trinity. For children, it is helpful to have a visual image and while the symbolism is not immediately evident, when it is explained the Trinity starts to make much more sense. As an example, the three angels in the icon are identical in appearance, representing the single substance of the three Persons. However, each angel is wearing a different garment, representing how each Person remains distinct from the other. The fact that Rublev depicts the Trinity using angels is also a reminder of the nature of God, who is pure spirit. The angels are shown from left to right in the order that we profess our faith in the Creed: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Remind your children that when we make the sign of the cross, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”, we are declaring our faith in the Holy Trinity.
