Stewardship Reflections
In today’s Gospel and reading from the letter of St. Paul we hear of the gift of the Triune
God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In our devotional life we make the sign of the cross
and recite the “Glory Be” as an expression of our faith as a Trinitarian people. But what
does it mean for Christian stewards to accept in a practical way the experience of God in
this three-fold gift? Is it a call to share our own life in community, with compassion and
love, and to work for healing, justice, peace and unity? Is it an invitation to invite others
into fellowship with us in the unity of the Father, Son and Spirit?
Intercession: That we remember the generosity of past generations who built our
Church and continue to be generous for future generations.
En el Evangelio de hoy y en la lectura de la carta de San Pablo escuchamos acerca del don de
Dios Trino y uno, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. En nuestra vida devocional nosotros hacemos la
señal de la cruz y recitamos el “Gloria” como una expresión de nuestra fe como pueblo
Trinitario. Pero, ¿qué significa para los corresponsables cristianos aceptar de una manera real
la experiencia de Dios en este triple don? ¿Es este un llamado a compartir nuestra propia vida
en comunidad, con compasión y amor, y a trabajar por la sanación, la justicia, la paz y la
unidad? ¿Es una invitación para invitar a otros a la fraternidad con nosotros en la unidad del
Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo?
Intercesión: Para que recordemos la generosidad de las generaciones pasadas que
construyeron nuestra Iglesia y continuemos siendo generosos para las generaciones futuras.

TRINITY SUNDAY
Trinity Sunday commemorates and honors not an event,
but a reality: the Holy Trinity. Trinity Sunday always
falls on the Sunday after Pentecost.
Trinity Sunday, officially called "The Solemnity of the
Most Holy Trinity," is one of the few celebrations of the
Christian Year that commemorates a reality and doctrine
rather than a person or event. On Trinity Sunday, Christians
remember and honor the eternal God: the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is best described in the
Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, commonly called the
Nicene Creed.
The Trinity is one of the most fascinating - and controversial
- Christian teachings. The Trinity is described as a "mystery." By mystery the
Church does not mean a riddle, but rather the Trinity is a reality above our
human comprehension that we may begin to grasp, but ultimately must know
through worship, symbol, and faith. Essentially the Trinity is the belief that
God is one in essence (Greek ousia), but distinct in person (Greek hypostasis).
The Greek word for person means "that which stands on its own," or
"individual reality," and does not mean the persons of the Trinity are three
human beings. Therefore Christians believe that the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit are somehow distinct from one another (not divided though), yet
completely united in will and essence.
Father, You sent your Word to bring us truth and your Spirit to make us holy.
Through them we come to know the mystery of your life.
Help us to worship you, one God in three persons, You reveal yourself in the
depths of our being, by proclaiming and living our faith in you.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen
DOMINGO DE
LA SANTÍSIMA TRINIDAD
Domingo de la Santísima Trinidad conmemora y honra no un
evento, sino una realidad: la Santísima Trinidad. Domingo de la
santísima Trinidad cae siempre en domingo después de
Pentecostés.
Domingo de la Santísima Trinidad, denominado oficialmente
"La solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad", es una de las pocas
celebraciones del Año Cristiano que conmemora una realidad y
la doctrina en lugar de una persona o evento. El domingo de la
Santísima Trinidad, los cristianos recordar y honrar al eterno
Dios: el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo. La Trinidad es el
mejor descrito en el Credo Niceno-Constantinopolitan,
comúnmente llamado el Credo Niceno.
La Trinidad es uno de los más fascinantes - y controvertidas - enseñanzas
cristianas. La Trinidad es descrito como un "misterio" por el misterio de la Iglesia
no significa una adivinanza, sino de la Trinidad es una realidad por encima de
nuestra comprensión humana que podemos comenzar a comprender, pero, en
última instancia, debe saber a través del culto, símbolo y fe. Esencialmente, la
Trinidad es la creencia de que Dios es uno en esencia (del griego ousia), pero
distinta en persona (griego hipóstasis). La palabra griega que significa "persona
que se levanta sobre su propia realidad" o "individual", y no significa que las
personas de la Trinidad son tres seres humanos. Así pues, los cristianos creen que
el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo son de alguna manera distintos el uno del otro
(no dividido), aunque todavía completamente unidos en la voluntad y esencia.
Padre, le envió Su Palabra para traernos la verdad y tu Espíritu para hacernos
santos. A través de ellas hemos llegado a conocer el misterio de su vida.
Nos ayudan a adorar a usted, un solo Dios en tres personas, Te revelas en lo más
íntimo de nuestro ser, al proclamar y vivir nuestra fe en ti.
Esta subvención por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina
contigo y el Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios eternamente y para siempre. Amén
