Father Flood Holy Trinity Sunday (B) PRAYER AND REFLECTION The Most Holy Trinity May 31, 2015 Read: Matthew 28:16-20 Today we celebrate the feast of the Trinity: the community that is God. This great mystery is the ultimate model for all that is. It tells us that we are never alone. Israel was not alone. Jesus was not alone. The disciples were not alone. All that happens, occurs in and through others. The early church recognized this in its use of the Trinitarian formula, which we call the sign of the cross. Every time we cross ourselves in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we are reminded that they are together as one, and so are we. As we commemorate the relationship of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to one another, we pray for the relationships we have in the whole human community. For the church: that it may reflect the deep mystery of community and unity that is modeled in the Trinity we pray, For our nation and all nations seeking to establish unity with other countries or working to heal internal divisions we pray, For single parents who struggle alone to provide for and raise their children we pray, For persecuted Christians in those countries torn apart by politics or religious differences we pray, For those among us who are most needy; for the sick and dying; for those who have died we pray, PRAYER Triune God, we see in you the power of relationships and the power of unity. Show us how to do justice to the model you give us. Help us to live in loving community and to strive for unity with those you place on our paths. Make us worthy to be your disciples in the world today. We pray in the name of your Son, Jesus, and in the power of the life-giving Spirit. Amen. Celebration 2015

Welcome to Holy Family. We are happy you are able to join us today as we celebrate Trinity Sunday. Watching people as they enter Catholic Churches can be interesting. Routinely as they approach the Holy Water font, they seem to flail their hands around, or jab fingers at their chest. If the water was dyed, the effect could be quite startling. What s going on is that they re making the Sign of the Cross almost unconsciously. While it may often be done irreverently, it is better to make a religious movement out of habit than not making it at all. After all, fewer passersby of churches make that sign. It s a body prayer, just as much as fingering beads, so tracing the cross is an instinctive action. It s amazing to watch even people with dementia or memory loss, smoothly make that prayer as muscle memory takes over. Many of us know how hard it can be to coordinate the different parts of our bodies, from touchtyping, playing music, driving, dancing. And we watch our little children playing confidently with remote controls, with their slightly older siblings showing their parents how to work the DVD. Maybe we are part of a change that reminds us of the need to be connected, of being able to do many things at once. Churches have always tried to remind people they belong to each other and to God. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity is more important than ever that God is not only one but a family. It could be a mirror of what we are becoming not solitary or apart, but a community of love.

5 Eis que estarei convosco todos os dias, até o fim dos tempos. Santíssima Trindade (Ano B): Deuteronômio 4, ; Salmo 33(32); Romano 8,14-17; Mateus 28,16-20 Após a paixão, morte, ressurreição e glorificação de Jesus, os discípulos foram para a Galileia, à montanha indicada. Naquela região, onde o Mestre havia iniciado o ministério (4,12-17) e proclamado o novo ensinamento de libertação (caps. 5-7), ressoa para os discípulos o chamado para a ação missionária. A fé na palavra leva os discípulos a reconhecer Jesus como o Senhor do céu e da terra mediante um gesto de adoração. A Boa Nova de Jesus abre o horizonte e faz transcender os limites de Israel (10,5-15). O Ressuscitado infunde nos discípulos confiança na missão universal de fazer discípulos entre todas as nações, batizando-as em nome do Pai, do Filho e do Espírito Santo (v.19). Os discípulos são enviados a congregar os povos, tornando-os seguidores de Jesus, ensinando-os a observar seus ensinamentos. Nesse caminho do discipulado, Jesus estará sempre presente, pois ele é o Emanuel, o Deus conosco (1,23): Eis que estarei convosco todos os dias, até o fim dos tempos (v.20). Sua presença sustenta a missão e impele a seguir sua palavra, cooperando na realização plena do seu Reino. A 1ª leitura ensina a guardar os mandamentos, reconhecendo e gravando no coração que o Senhor é o único Deus. Ele conduz a vida do povo, libertando-o do Egito, comunicando-lhe sua palavra no Sinai, conduzindo-o à terra prometida. O salmo convida a colocar a esperança no Deus-Amor, presente na história com sua providência. Na 2ª leitura, graças ao dom do Espírito através de Cristo podemos chamar Deus de Abba, meu Pai. Como filhos, somos impelidos a deixar-nos conduzir pelo Espírito de Deus. A festa da Trindade celebra o amor do Pai, manifestado no Filho e na ação do Espírito Santo. Como filhos queridos, possamos fazer discípulos de Jesus em todas as nações, cooperando para que a humanidade se torne uma verdadeira comunidade de amor e fraternidade. Oração (Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Ó Deus de compaixão e misericórdia, enviaste o teu Filho Jesus ao mundo e derramaste sobre nós o Espírito Santo, manifestando o maravilhoso mistério de tua vida. Dá-nos a graça de crer e adorar o teu mistério de comunhão e fazer de nossa vida uma busca de unidade e paz. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém. Pe. Jonas D. Christal ( LEITURAS DA SEMANA: 2a feira: Tb 1,3;2,1a-8; Sl 111 (112); Mc 12, a feira: Tb 2,9-14; Sl 111(112); Mc 12, a feira: Tb 3,1-11a.16-17a; Sl 24 (25); Mc 12, a feira: Tb 6:10-11; 7:, 9-19; 8:4-9a 6a feira: Tb 11,5-17; Sl 145 (146); Mc 12, Sábado: Tb 12, ; Cânt.

6 The Brazilian community would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to you, Father Don, Father Gil, and the Oblates of Mary Immaculate for your service to the Church, especially in our parish community. In a particular way, we are very thankful for you, Father Don, for pastoring the flock with great dedication, spirit of communion, and good sense of humor. By being opened to our cultural differences and attentive to our needs, you have helped us all to grow and feel more at home in a foreign land. Indeed you have incarnated the words of Jesus who said, I was a stranger and you welcomed me (Matt 25:35). You always made the effort to speak not only our language, Portuguese (often times mixed with French and Italian), but also the universal language of love and care. As we give thanks for your ministry here at the Holy Family parish, we remember the words of the Portuguese writer José Saramago, The end of one journey is simply the start of another. You have to start the journey anew. Always. May Our Lady of Aparecida, the patroness of Brazil, continue to bless you and protect you in your new journey. The Brazilian community embraces you, with the typical Brazilian hug, and wishes you all the best! Thank you so very much! Brazilian Community Father Jonas A Comunidade Brasileira manifesta sua sincera gratidão à vocês, Pe. Don, Pe. Gil e a todos os Oblatos da Imaculada Conceição pelo seu serviço à Igreja, especialmente em nossa comunidade paroquial. Em particular, somos muito agradecidos ao Sr., Pe Don, por pastorear o rebanho com grande dedicação, espírito de comunhão e senso de humor. Através da sua abertura a nossas diferenças culturais e sua atenção às nossas necessidades, o Sr. nos ajudou a crescer e nos sentir mais em casa em terra estrangeira. Verdadeiramente, o Sr. encarnou as palavras de Jesus que disse, Eu era estrangeiro e você me acolheu (Mt 25, 35). O Sr. sempre fez o esforço em falar não somente nossa língua, o português (muitas vezes misturada com um pouco de francês e italiano), mas também a língua universal do amor e do cuidado. Ao darmos graças pelo seu ministério na paróquia Sagrada Família, nós lembramos as palavras do escritor português José Saramago, O fim de uma viagem é apenas o começo de outra. É preciso recomeçar a viagem. Sempre. Que Nossa Senhora Aparecida, padroeira do Brasil, continue abençoá-los e protegê-los em suas novas jornadas. A Comunidade Brasileira os abraça, com nosso abraço brasileiro, e os deseja o melhor. Muito obrigado! Comunidade Brasileira Pe. Jonas
