Queridos feligreses, Hoy celebramos la Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad. Las lecturas de hoy nos hablan de la unidad de la creación y la salvación en la Santísima Trinidad. Dios es un Dios en tres personas. El Dios que adoramos existe solo en relación, en la comunión eterna de tres personas, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu. La Palabra creó el mundo. Dios mismo guió a los hebreos a la tierra prometida. El Hijo de Dios se hizo hombre y sufrió y murió por nosotros en la cruz. A través del Espíritu Santo, podemos dirigirnos a Dios como nuestro Padre. El Espíritu Santo es el amor entre Dios Padre y Dios Hijo. La Santísima Trinidad habita nuestros corazones y nos habla en nuestros corazones. La Trinidad es vida y misterio. Parafraseando el dicho de San Pablo, podemos decir: "Ningún ojo ha visto, ningún oído ha oído y ninguna palabra es suficiente para lo que Dios ha preparado para los que lo aman". La Iglesia es la familia de los hijos adoptivos de Dios, y una de las cosas que se nos ha revelado es el misterio de la Trinidad, que Dios es una comunidad de amor, una familia. Por eso la Biblia usa tres palabras: Padre, Hijo y Amor, de alguna manera para expresar el misterio de la vida divina. Nuestras almas habitadas por la Santísima Trinidad es una realidad que debemos descubrir e iluminar en nuestra vida. El hombre que vive en estado de gracia es un templo vivo de la Santísima Trinidad. Jesús le respondió y le dijo:“ El que me ama guardará mi palabra, y mi Padre lo amará, y vendremos a él y habitaremos con él ” (Juan 14:23). Desde el día en que somos bautizados, si no lo rechazamos por el pecado mortal, es Dios quien está en nuestro corazón: Dios Padre, Dios Hijo y Dios Espíritu Santo. Tenemos a Dios dentro de nosotros para ayudarnos, para estar con nosotros, porque nos ama. Además, esto nos lleva a tener plena comunión con Dios y a servir a los demás. Santa Teresa describe nuestra alma como una maravillosa y luminosa "fortaleza interior" que Jesús nos aconsejó: "Sean perfectos, como su Padre es perfecto en los cielos" (Mt 6, 46). Todos estamos llamados a la santidad. Recordamos que si bien disfrutamos del privilegio y el don de ser parte de la familia de Dios, también tenemos la misión y el deber de vivir y compartir esta vida con los demás. Si somos hijos del Padre, que siempre toma la iniciativa del amar, compartir y dar, entonces nosotros, sus hijos, debemos ser como nuestro Padre, los primeros en amar, compartir y dar a los demás. Este fue el último mandamiento de Cristo: "Vayan y hagan discípulos de todas las naciones y bautícelos en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo". (Mateo 28:19). Solo podemos hacer discípulos de todas las naciones si nosotros mismos somos verdaderos discípulos, testigos e imágenes reflejadas del Padre. Estamos llamados a ser como Jesús y hacerlo haciendo la voluntad del Padre. Jesús era el hijo obediente del Padre. Debemos obediencia a sus mandamientos y debemos imitar las características de su vida. Jesús vivió para su Padre y nosotros también estamos llamados a vivir para el Padre. Esta vida solo es posible en y a través del Espíritu. Jesús fue obediente al Espíritu y fue guiado por el Espíritu. Si somos miembros de la familia trinitaria de Dios, siempre seremos guiados por Su Espíritu y Él infundirá el espíritu de Su amor en nuestras vidas. Al igual que el servicio de velas en la víspera de Pascua, estamos llamados a transmitir la luz que recibimos, a difundir este maravilloso conocimiento a todos los que nos rodean. Debemos compartir con los demás este amor que hemos recibido de Dios. ¡Que tengan una bendecida semana! Padre Dennis Venegas

Thank You Thank you to our CCD director,

teachers, students, and their families for providing such a

beautiful First Communion Mass last week. Everyone's strength and

dedication illuminated this very challenging catechetical year!

Dear Parishioners, Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity. Today's readings speak to us about the unity of creation and salvation in the Holy Trinity. God is one God in three persons. The God we worship exists only in relationship, in the eternal communion of three persons, Father, Son and Spirit. The Word created the world. God Himself guided the Hebrews to the promised land. The Son of God became man and suffered and died for us on the cross. Through the Holy Spirit, we are able to address God as our Father. The Holy Spirit is the love between God the Father and God the Son. The Holy Trinity inhabits our hearts and speaks to us in our hearts. The Trinity is life and mystery. To paraphrase St. Paul’s saying, we can say: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no words are enough what God has prepared for those who love Him”. The Church is the family of God's adopted children, and one of the things revealed to us is the mystery of the Trinity, that God is a community of love - a family. This is why the Bible uses three words: Father, Son, and Love, in some way to express the mystery of the divine life. Our souls inhabited by the Holy Trinity is a reality that we must discover and enlighten in our lives.The man who lives in the state of grace is a living temple of the Most Holy Trinity “Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him” (John 14:23). From the day we are baptized, if we do not reject Him by mortal sin, it is God who is in our heart: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. We have God inside us to help us, to be with us, because He loves us. In addition, this leads us to fully communing with God and serving others. Saint Teresa describes our soul as a wonderful and luminous "inner fortress" that Jesus advised us: "Be perfect, just as your Father is perfect in heaven” (Mt.6:46). We are all called to holiness. The Bible will remind us that while we enjoy the privilege and gift of being part of God's family, we also have a mission and duty to live and share this life with others. If we are children of the Father, who always takes the initiative of love, sharing and giving, then we, his children, must be like our Father, the first to love, share and give to others. This was Christ's last commandment: "Go and make disciples of all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." (Mt.28:19). We can only make disciples of all nations if we ourselves are true disciples, witnesses, and mirror images of the Father. We are called to be like Jesus and do so by doing the Father's will. Jesus was the obedient son of the Father. We owe obedience to his commandments and must imitate the characteristics of His life. Jesus lived for his Father and we are also called to live for the Father. This life is only possible in and through the Spirit. Jesus was obedient to the Spirit and led by the Spirit. If we are members of God’s Trinitarian family, we will always be led by His Spirit and He will infuse the spirit of His love into our lives. Like the candle service on Easter Eve, we are called to pass the light we received, to spread this wonderful knowledge to everyone around us. We must share with others this love we have received from God. Have a blessed week! Father Dennis Venegas

Saint Boniface (June 5, 754)

St. Boniface was very bold in his faith and was well known for being very good at using the local customs and culture of the day to bring people to Christ. He was born in Devonshire, England, in the seventh century. He was educated at a Benedictine monastery and became a monk, and was sent as a missionary to Germany in 719 instead of becoming abbot for his monastery.

There, he destroyed idols and pagan temples, and built churches on the sites. He was eventually made archbishop of Mainz, where he reformed churches and built religious houses on those sites.

He was martyred on June 5, 754 while on mission in Holland, where a troop of pagans attacked and killed him and his 52 companions.
