THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

STEWARDSHIP IN SCRIPTURE by Deacon Rick Haeckel God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three in one and one in three. There you have it, neatly laid out and self-contained. As is our usual custom we try to “understand” this mystery of our faith. We have testimony about the three from Jesus himself, from the Gospel of John two weeks ago, “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name…” Approaching their unity requires us to use our gift of faith where truth comes not from our ability to “know” as much as to accept what has been “revealed” to us. Sometimes that feels a little awkward, it asks that we listen with more than our minds by hearing also what lies within our hearts. Further, we are part of the great company whom Jesus called blessed because we have not seen but yet believed. Reflecting on this foundational aspect of our faith is a fruitful way to place ourselves in the perspective of God’s creation. We spend much of our time simply dealing with the reality of day to day living. A place where choices are more readily understood: put tab A in slot B, call this number for more information, there is 10% of our recommended daily dose of sodium in that food… Our heads make light work of these kind of directions or interactions but what about our hearts? Complex beings that we are, we need both parts of who we are, flesh and spirit. Reflecting on the wonder of the Trinity involves both parts for sure but they are drawn together by mystery. Our spirits revel in the wonder of a God so close and yet not as tangible as we’d like. When those thoughts come we benefit from a deep breath and then allowing wonder. Wonder in knowing the truth of God’s revealed presence in the Holy Trinity, but that presence also abides in us and our neighbor. That can be for us, in Neil Armstrong’s famous words, “One small step for a man” and as he continued “one giant leap for mankind.” The dichotomy of being an individual and also a member of many different groups provides a perspective. An ability to situate ourselves in the context of others as well as in our own personhood. The Trinity, in some sense, has a similar relationship. Three natures, one God. Take some time to sit with that. In a small way we too can describe ourselves. Yes we are individuals but there are multiple aspects of our personalities, our skills, our emotions. Gathering ourselves into our center helps us to draw from God’s presence in order to walk our faith journey; allowing us to find God’s grace to be “enough for us.” As in many things, the journey begins with the smallest of steps. Love is the first step.

GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK

It’s time for spring, uh summer cleaning. Take inventory in your storage spaces (especially the garage). Things we’ve put away “in case I’ll need them” can be a boon for another. It’s personal item recycling time, if you haven't used it, let someone else.

FROM THE DESK OF FR. SERGIO OVANDO, PASTOR….

The Seal of Confession When I consider the priesthood in our Church, the Sacrament of Reconciliation/Confession has always been one aspect of Catholic practice that makes us different. Growing up I asked myself how people could approach an unknown person, trusting their inner-most thoughts and deeds in an act of repentance. I have always been aware of the Seal of Confession, but as a priest I have learned even more how essential this is to this sacrament: the trust of people in knowing that nothing of what they say to a priest in Confession will be ever shared with anyone. This is what encourages a penitent to open their soul in Confession. Keeping that secret is a vital part of our mission as priests. For this reason, Senate Bill 360 is a clear affront to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Seal of Confession as well as being an affront to the free exercise of religion. SB 360 proposes that child molestation should be reported by a priest when he hears of it in Confession. This would not only violate the nature of Confession, but it would also set a precedent in relation to other kinds of communication made in the course of Confession. Child abuse is a terrible crime and sin. But if the law of California were to require that child abuse, reported in Confession, be reported to the civil authorities, what will stop our lawmakers to go after the other sins (rape, murder, etc.) when this door is opened? To be clear, priests have been and remain mandated reporters of child abuse, reported in any other venue than the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We have put a video from our bishop online, with information of how you can contact members of the State Assembly to help in the effort to keep SB 360 from becoming law. Visit our website - www.stca.org to view the video or for more information.

DESDE EL ESCRITORIO DEL P. SERGIO OVANDO, PARROCO…. El Sigilo Sacramental o Sigilo de la Confesión Al considerar el sacerdocio en nuestra Iglesia, el sacramento de la Confesión o reconciliación ha sido siempre uno de los aspectos de nuestras prácticas de fe que nos diferencia. En mi juventud me preguntaba: cómo puede ser que la gente se acerque a alguien desconocido y le confié pensamientos y acciones tan personales en un acto de arrepentimiento. Siempre ha sido consciente del secreto que lleva consigo este sacramento, pero como sacerdote he aprendido que cuan esencial es el sigilo al mismo: la confianza de la gente en el sacramento consiste en saber que nada de lo que digan al sacerdote en confesión será divulgado a otros. Esto es lo que mueve a los penitentes a abrir su corazón y su alma en la confesión. Conservar este secreto es parte vital de nuestra misión como sacerdotes. Es precisamente por este motivo que el Proyecto de ley del Senado 360 es una clara afrenta al sacramento de la reconciliación y al sigilo (secreto) de confesión, como los es también una afrenta al libre ejercicio de la religión. El Proyecto de ley del Senado 360 (SB 360) propone que el abuso de niños debe ser reportado por el sacerdote cuando lo escuche en la confesión. Esto no solo viola la naturaleza de la confesión, sino que también crea un precedente con relación a otra clase de comunicación que se realiza en el curso de la confesión. El abuso de niños es un crimen terrible y un pecado. Pero si la ley de California obligara a que el abuso de niños conocido en confesión fuera reportado a las autoridades civiles, ¿qué es lo que detendría a que los legisladores a demandar que también otra clase de pecados fueran reportados (violaciones, homicidios, etc.)? Cuando se abre esta puerta nos se sabe donde de terminará. Es necesario aclarar que todos los sacerdotes han sido y son denunciantes bajo mandato de todo abuso de niños, conocido por otro medio que no sea la confesión. Hemos colocado un video del nuestro obispo online, con mas información sobre como contactar a los miembros de la Asamblea del estado para ayudar a que SB 360 no se convierta en ley convertirse en ley. Visite nuestra pagina de web - www.stca.org para ver el video del Obispo o para obtener mas información.

LA SANTISIMA TRINDAD FORMACIÓN DE FAMILIAS EN LA FE Hoy domingo celebramos la Solemnidad de La Santísima Trinidad. Dia que nos recuerda el amor infinito de Dios Padre, Dios Hijo y Dios Espíritu Santo le tiene a la humanidad. La Santísima Trinidad perfecto ejemplo de comunión y de amor para las familias y para la iglesia. Que nos dice El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica de la Santísima Trinidad: "El misterio de la Santísima Trinidad es el misterio central de la fe y de la vida cristiana. Es el misterio de Dios en sí mismo. Es, pues, la fuente de todos los otros misterios de la fe; es la luz que los ilumina. Es la enseñanza más fundamental y esencial en la “jerarquía de las verdades de fe”. Toda la historia de la salvación no es otra cosa que la historia del camino y los medios por los cuales el Dios verdadero y único, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo, se revela a los hombres, los aparta del pecado y los reconcilia y une consigo" (CIC 234)

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1910, cuatro años antes de iniciar el día de las madres, el pueblo de los Estados Unidos empezó a celebrar ocasionalmente un día para los padres de familia. Pero, no fue hasta 1972 que se fijó un día oficial para el papá. Poco a poco esta fecha del segundo domingo de junio se ha ido expandiendo al resto del mundo con algunas excepciones. En Italia por ejemplo, la fiesta del padre se celebra el 19 de marzo, día de san José. Durante la Revolución Industrial del siglo diecinueve, José, esposo de María recibió su primera fiesta oficial. La Iglesia, preocupada por el ingreso del padre a las fábricas, propuso a este santo varón como ejemplo de lo que los padres deben ser en la vida de sus hijos e hijas; ejemplos de fe, ternura y trabajo. Aún en nuestro tiempo, el Rito del Bautismo de Niños insiste que el padre, junto con la madre, deben ser los mayores maestros de sus hijos. Al igual que José, el papá debe cuidar y proteger a su familia, enseñarle a los niños a trabajar y ser honestos para el bien de la familia y la sociedad.

PROYECTO DE LEY DEL SENADO 360 ACERCA DE LA CONFESION La Diócesis de San José siempre seguirá manteniendo los más altos estándares de seguridad y protección para nuestros niños. Pero, Proyecto de ley del Senado 360 se afrenta contra el Sacramento de la Reconciliación y Confesión. Les pedimos a todos que llamen a los miembros de nuestra Asamblea local (vea la lista en la nuestra pagina de web - www. Stca.org) para que voten NO a este ataque contra la libertad de nuestra religión. Qué haga? Llama hoy! Qué dice?

¡Dios es Grande Todo el Tiempo, Todo el Tiempo Dios es Grande! PREGUNTA DE LA SEMANA Adulto: ¿En qué situación difícil el Espíritu Santo te ayudó a ver más claramente? Niño: ¿Con qué tipo de decisión te puede ayudar el Espíritu Santo?

Opción 1 (nombre) "Mi nombre es _______ del código postal (#####) y pido al Asambleísta ______ a votar NO en la SB 360 porque es un ataque contra la libertad de religión". Opción 2 (anónima) "Soy un miembro de la comunidad católica del código postal (#####) y pido al Asambleísta ______ a votar NO contra SB 360, porque ataca la libertad de religión".

LA SANTISIMA TRINDAD DIOS NO SE ABURRE Son bastantes los que, llamándose cristianos, tienen una idea absolutamente triste y aburrida de Dios. Para ellos, Dios sería un ser nebuloso, gris, «sin rostro». Algo impersonal, frío e indiferente. Y si se les dice que Dios es Trinidad, esto, lejos de dar un color nuevo a su fe, lo complica todo aún más, situando a Dios en el terreno de lo enrevesado, embrollado e ininteligible. No pueden sospechar todo lo que la teología cristiana ha querido sugerir acerca de Dios, al balbucir desde Jesús una imagen trinitaria de la divinidad. Según la fe cristiana, Dios no es un ser solitario, condenado a estar cerrado sobre sí mismo, sin alguien con quien comunicarse. Un ser inerte, que se pertenece sólo a sí mismo, autosatisfaciéndose aburridamente por toda la eternidad. Dios es comunión interpersonal, comunicación gozosa de vida. Dinamismo de amor que circula entre un Padre y un Hijo que se entregan sin agotarse, en plenitud de infinita ternura. Pero este amor no es la relación que existe entre dos que se exprimen y absorben estérilmente el uno al otro, perdiendo su vida y su gozo en una posesión exclusiva y un egoísmo compartido. Es un amor que requiere la presencia del Tercero. Amor fecundo que tiene su fruto gozoso en el Espíritu en quien el Padre y el Hijo se encuentran, se reconocen y gozan el uno para el otro. Es fácil que más de un cristiano se «escandalice» un poco ante la descripción de la vida trinitaria que hace el Maestro Eckart: «Hablando en hipérbole, cuando el Padre le ríe al Hijo, y el Hijo le responde riendo al Padre, esa risa causa placer, ese placer causa gozo, ese gozo engendra amor, y ese amor da origen a las personas de la Trinidad, una de las cuales es el Espíritu Santo». Y sin embargo, este lenguaje «hiperbólico» apunta, sin duda, a la realidad más profunda de Dios, único ser capaz de gozar y reír en plenitud, pues la risa y el gozo verdadero brotan de la plenitud del amor y de la comunicación. Este Dios no es alguien lejano de nosotros. Está en las raíces mismas de la vida y de nuestro ser. «En él vivimos, nos movemos y existimos» (Hechos 17, 28). En el corazón mismo de la creación entera está el amor, el gozo, la sonrisa acogedora de Dios. En medio de nuestro vivir diario, a veces tan apagado y aburrido, otras tan agitado e inquieto, tenemos que aprender a escuchar con más fe el latido profundo de la vida y de nuestro corazón. Quizás descubramos que en lo más hondo de las tristezas puede haber un gozo sereno, en lo más profundo de nuestros miedos una paz desconocida, en lo más oculto de nuestra soledad, la acogida de Alguien que nos acompaña con sonrisa silenciosa.

Equipping Families to Pass On the Faith stca.org/ym Fathers in Our Lives We give our thanks, Creator God, for the fathers in our lives. Fatherhood does not come with a manual, and reality teaches us that some fathers excel while others fail. We ask for Your blessings for them all and forgiveness where it is needed. This Father's Day we remember the many sacrifices fathers make for their children and families, and the ways--both big and small--they lift children to achieve dreams thought beyond reach. So too, we remember all those who have helped fill the void when fathers pass early or are absent; grandfathers and uncles, brothers and cousins, teachers and coaches and the women of our families. For those who are fathers, we ask that you fill them with strength, courage and wisdom in the face of the task of parenting. We ask all these things in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus, Amen.
