Sunday, June 11, 2017 THE INEXPRESSIBLE MYSTERY

T he God of the universe is mysterious. Science has not been able to solve the mystery of how the universe came into being or ex-plain exactly what continues to give it

creative energy and masterful design. No reli-gion asserts that it has found words to name fully the ineffable mystery of God, for no mat-ter what name we use, God always transcends our limited ability to understand. God is a mys-tery to be believed, not known. And yet, we Christians believe that our name for God best expresses that inexpressible mystery: God is the Most Holy Trinity of three persons united in a communion of love, pouring forth that creative, saving, sanctifying love into the world. To-day’s scriptures celebrate the mystery of the Trinity and give us clues for living that mystery in our lives. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

I t is often heard that today’s observance is an “idea feast,” and that it is somewhat difficult to grasp its meaning. Other great so-lemnities, such as Christmas

and Easter, have an easily grasped core. Yet, even though the Trinity is at the heart of our faith, firmly declared in the Creed since the Council of Nicea in 325, we are used to having people shrug and say, “Well, it’s a mystery.” Perhaps it is more helpful to think of this as a “relationship feast,” since it unveils our deepest identity. Dorothy Day was a great social reformer, pacifist, and ardent lover of the Trinity. When people told her that she would certainly be canonized one day (the process is in-deed underway), she protested dismissively by remarking that people were raising a fuss just because she was not afraid to talk about God. She loved the Trinity, and treasured the traditional icon for the feast, also known as “The Hospitality of Abraham,” depicting the three an-gelic beings seated at a table tilted toward the viewer and laden with bread and wine. For her, the Trinity revealed the heart of the Catholic life, three C’s if you will: community, communication, and communion. That was not an “idea” for her, but what it means to be created in the image of the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. -Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

MISTERIO INEXPRESABLE

E l Dios del universo es misterioso. La ciencia no ha podido resolver el misterio de c6mo el uni-verso surgió ni explicar

exactamente que es lo que conti-nua dándole energía creadora y desafío magistral. Ninguna reli-gión afirma que ha encontrado las palabras para nombrar ple-namente el misterio inefable de Dios, ya que no importa que nom-bre usemos, Dios siempre transciende nuestra limita-da capacidad de comprensión. Dios es un misterio en el que se cree y que no se conoce. Y sin embargo, nosotros los cristianos creemos que el nombre que usamos para Dios es el que mejor expresa ese miste-rio inexpresable : Dios es la Santisima Trinidad de tres personas unidas en una comuni6n de amor, que se vierte en amor creador, salvador y santificador sobre el mundo. Las lecturas de hoy celebran el mis-terio de la Trinidad y nos dan las claves para vivir ese misterio en nuestras vidas. Copyright © J S. Paluch Co., Inc

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

E n Uruguay se celebra la fiesta patronal mas grande durante el mes de junio. Celebran a san Cono,

un santo italiano de! siglo doce. En el siglo diecinueve los inmigrantes ita-lianos que vivían en Uruguay deseaban tener una capilla para honrar la memoria de este santo, oriundo de la provincia de Salerno, Italia. En junio de 1885, las campanas de una modesta capillita anunciaron el recibimiento de una imagen de san Cono que llegó en procesión. Desde enton-ces esta costumbre italiana se fue hacienda parte integral de la devoción cristiana en Uruguay. Cono fue el hijo (mico de una pareja anciana que vivía en la ciudad de Teggiano, Salerno. Según la leyenda, una noche mientras dormían, esta pareja soño un cono de luz que brotaba de la madre. Al nacer el niño decidieron llamarlo Cono. Desde muy niño, Cono mostró un afán por las cosas de Dios y a los dieciséis años ingresó a un monasterio benedic-tino siguiendo el consejo de una voz interior que lo invitaba a consagrase al Señor. A los dieciocho, su

monasterio se llenó de luz y una voz anunció su muerte, y al día siguiente falleció. -Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

¿SABÍA USTED?

L a violencia en el hogar afecta a toda la co-munidad.Angelus News publicó recientemente un artículo sobre cómo la violencia doméstica

afecta a toda la familia y a los miembros de la co-munidad de todas las edades. En el artículo, la Dra. Ana Nogales dijo que “la violencia doméstica no sólo lleva a un altercado entre dos compañeros de vida, sino que puede dañar a niños inocentes. Tenemos que estar alerta y no tolerar el abuso en el hogar o en la comunidad”.
