Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity The word mercy, Pope Francis de-clared in his announcement of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, “reveals the very mystery of the Most Holy Trinity” (Misericordiae Vultus, 2). For mercy is how God comes to meet us; mercy is the fundamental law helping us rec-ognize everyone as brothers and sisters; mercy is the bridge connecting God and humanity, opening our hearts to the hope of being loved forever despite our sinfulness. God’s self-revelation as a life-giving, love-sharing Trinity of Persons draws us closer to God in friendship and communion. Both Judaism and Islam consider mercy one of God’s most important attrib-utes. Israel unceasingly proclaims God boundless in mercy. Islam addresses the Creator as “Merciful and Kind,” believing divine mercy limitless, its doors al-ways open. May this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis prays, open us to more fervent dialogue, deep-en our mutual understanding, eliminate all closed-minded disrespect, and drive out every form of violence and discrimination.

Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad En la Bula papal Misericordiae Vultus, 2, el Papa Francisco dice que la misericordia “es la palabra que revela el misterio de la Santísi-ma Trinidad”. Pues la misericordia es cómo Dios viene a nuestro encuentro; misericordia es la ley fundamental que nos ayuda a recono-cernos como hermanos y hermanas; misericordia es el puente que conecta a Dios con la humanidad, abriendo nuestros corazones a la esperanza de ser amados por siem-pre pese a nuestras ofensas. La revelación de Dios hacia nosotros es un don de vida, un amor compartido de la Tri-nidad de personas que nos acercan más a Dios en amistad y comunión. Tanto el judaísmo como el islamismo consi-deran a la misericordia uno de los atributos más importan-tes de Dios. Israel incasablemente proclama la misericor-dia inmensa. El islamismo se refiere hacia Dios como “Misericordioso y Clemente” (Corán 59:22) creyendo en su divina e inmensa misericordia cuyas puertas siempre están abiertas. Que este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, ruega el Papa Francisco, se nos abra a un dialogo más fer-viente, profundizando nuestro entendimiento mutuo, eli-

minando toda falta de respeto de tener una mente cerrada y, eliminando toda falta de violencia y discriminación.

Supreme Court Issues Decision on HHS Mandate Case WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously protected the Little Sisters of the Poor from draconian government fines and recog-nized that the government does not need the Little Sisters to provide services such as the week after pill.

The Court also noted the government finally admitted it could indeed meet its goals without involving the Little Sisters. In its decision, the Su-preme Court held that after its unprecedented call for supplemental brief-ing that the lower courts should again review the cases. "All we have ever wanted to do is serve the neediest among us as if they were Christ himself," said Sister Loraine Marie Maguire, Mother Provin-cial for the Little Sisters of the Poor. "We look forward to serving the elderly poor for another 175 years to come. Mark Rienzi, senior counsel at The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, [said] "The Court has accepted the government's concession that it can get drugs to people without using the Little Sisters. The Court has eliminated all of the bad decisions from the lower courts. And the Court has forbidden the government from fining the Little Sisters even though they are refusing to bow to the government's will. It is only a matter of time before the lower courts make this victory permanent." Less than a week after the Supreme Court heard the case of the Little Sisters of the Poor in March, the Court made an unprecedented move asking both sides to pro-vide additional arguments about whether the government could find ways to distribute contraceptives without the involvement of religious non-profits and their health plans. The religious non-profits responded to the Supreme Court: "Yes." The govern-ment exempts 1 in 3 Americans from the HHS mandate. It also exempts large corporations such as Exxon, Visa and even the government's own military family plan. A total of 100 million Americans are exempt from this regulation… (Little Sisters of the Poor, St. Jeanne Jugan Communications 5/16/16)

THANK YOU! THANK YOU, Parishioners of St. Joseph's!!! The Life Center of Long Island wishes to thank the parishioners of St. Joseph's for their incredible success in raising $4,944 in the parish Baby Bottle Campaign this past Lent. (Baby bottles continue to be turned in, so this donation amount is not final.)

Decisión de cuestiones de la Corte Suprema en caso de mandato HHS lunes, 16 de mayo de 2016 WASHINGTON, D.C. – hoy la Corte Suprema por unanimidad protegi-dos las Hermanitas de los pobres de multas draconianas del gobierno y reconoció que el gobierno no necesita las Hermanitas servicios tales como la píldora del día después de la semana. La corte también señaló que el Gobierno finalmente admitió en efecto podía hacer frente a sus metas sin la participación de las Little Sisters. En su decisión, la Corte Suprema sostuvo después de su llamada sin precedentes para la información adi-cional que los tribunales deben revisar nuevamente los casos. "Todos alguna vez hemos querido hacer es servir a los más necesitados entre nosotros como si se tratara de Cristo mismo," dijo hermana Loraine Ma-rie Maguire, madre Provincial de las Hermanitas de los pobres. "Esperamos servir a los pobres ancianos para otros 175 años para venir. Mark Rienzi, abogado senior en el fondo de Becket para la libertad religi-osa, [dijo] "la corte ha aceptado la concesión del gobierno que puede con-seguir drogas a las personas sin utilizar las Hermanitas. El Tribunal ha eliminado todas las malas decisiones de los tribunales inferiores. Y el Tribunal ha prohibido el gobierno de multar a las Hermanitas a pesar de se niegan a inclinarse ante la voluntad del gobierno. Es sólo cuestión de tiempo antes de que los tribunales inferiores que esta victoria sea perma-nente". Menos de una semana después de que la Corte Suprema escuchó el caso de las Hermanitas de los pobres en marzo, la corte dio un paso sin precedentes, pidiendo a ambas partes a dar argumentos sobre si el go-bierno podría encontrar formas de distribuir anticonceptivos sin la par-ticipación de organizaciones religiosas y sus planes de salud. Las religiosas sin fines de lucro respondieron a la Corte Suprema: "Sí." El gobierno exime a 1 de cada 3 americanos del mandato HHS. También exime a grandes empresas como Exxon, Visa o incluso el propio gobierno militar plan familiar. Un total de 100 millones de estadounidenses están exentos de esta regulación...

Este domingo la Iglesia celebra la Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Este dogma acerca de la realidad de Dios es la cla-ve para comprender la verdad de la religión cristia-na. Mediante el poder del Espíritu Santo el Padre

envió al Hijo como Salvador del mundo. Estas tres personas son un solo Dios. No es una doctrina fácil de com-prender y mucho menos de pintar en arte sagrado. Sin embargo muchos artistas latinoamericanos han intentado pintar simbólicamente la verdad de la Santísi-ma Trinidad. En muchos casos imaginan al Padre cargando a Jesús en la cruz y

soplando sobre él el Espíritu en forma de paloma. A veces Padre e Hijo están entronados sobre las nubes soplando el Espíritu mutuamente y las alas de la paloma tocan los labios de ambos. En algunos casos el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo son tres cabezas que salen de un solo cuerpo. Seguido los tres tienen el mismo rostro distinguiéndose solo por el color de sus vestiduras o los símbolos que car-gan.

The Most Holy Trinity May 22, 2016

La Santísima Trinidad 22 de mayo de 2016

JOURNEY OF FAITH We are on a long and eventful journey. Today’s read-ings for Trinity Sunday succinctly cover the depth and breadth of our human travels. The very beginnings of our journey are revealed in the reading from Proverbs. God’s plan filled with divine wisdom was born before the earth was made. In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of his own personal journey. He has come from the Father and will return to the Father. Only then will the Advocate—the Spirit of Truth—take us onward. This does not diminish the fact that the jour-ney will be hard. The very setting of the Gospel is the night before Jesus died. As Saint Paul writes to the Romans, “[W]e even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4). Ultimately, our human journey is modeled by the Holy Trinity—a family of love among Father, Son, and Spirit that we are all called to emulate.

VIAJE DE FE Estamos en un viaje largo y lleno de acontecimientos. Las lecturas de hoy para el Domingo de la Santísima Trinidad cubren sucintamente la profundidad y la amplitud de nuestros viajes humanos.

Los comienzos de nuestro viaje se reve-lan en la lectura de Proverbios. El plan de Dios lleno de sabiduría divina nació antes de que la tierra existiera. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla de su propio viaje personal. Él ha venido del Padre y volverá al Padre. Sólo en ese mo-mento el Paráclito –el Espíritu de la Verdad– nos llevará hacia adelante. Esto no disminuye la dificultad del via-je. El contexto mismo del Evangelio es la noche antes de la muerte de Jesús. Como san Pablo les

escribe a los romanos, “Nos gloriamos hasta de los sufrimien-tos, pues sabemos que el sufrimiento engendra la paciencia, la paciencia engendra la virtud sólida, la virtud sólida engendra la esperanza” (Romanos 5:3-4). En última instancia, nuestro viaje humano está modelado por la Santísima Trinidad –una familia de amor entre el Pa-dre, el Hijo y el Espíritu que todos somos llamados a emular.

TODAY’S READINGS - LECTURAS DE HOY

Around the turn of the fourth century, Augustine, still fairly fresh from the baptismal waters in Milan, was elected bishop of a tiny city in North Africa, Hippo. He told his people, “While I am frightened by what I am for you, then I am consoled by what I am with you. For you I am a bishop, with you I am a Christian.” He had his priorities right, and also knew that everyone coming from the water arises with a ministry, a specific role, in bringing about God’s king-dom. If we were asked to purge English of Greek vocabulary, we would gain an insight into key ministries in our church. Bishop, from the Greek episkopos, would become simply “overseer;” priest, from the Greek presybter, would become “elder;” and deacon, from the Greek diakonos, would be “servant.” Each title stands in relationship to all the baptized, serving the community, helping it to be the Body of Christ. In our deepest tradi-tion, each of these ordained ministries is attuned to help us become our best selves, to hunger and thirst for the coming of God’s kingdom. The goal for each one of us is to be able to recognize the presence of Christ in worship and in service. Although only some of us are ordained to ministry, each of us is called to ministry.
