SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Encyclical ‘HAURIETIS AQUAS’- Pope Pius X11

‘You will drink water with joy from the fountains of the Savior”. These words with which the Prophet

Isaiah prefigured symbolically the abundant goods that the messianic era would bring with itself, they come

spontaneously to our minds, if we give a look to the one hundred years past, since our Predecessor, Pius IX, in answer

to the desires of the catholic world, ordered the universal Church to celebrate the feast day of the most Sacred Heart

of Jesus.

Innumerable are, in fact, the heavenly richness that the devotion tribute to the Sacred Heart infuses in

the souls: It purifies them, He fills them with supernatural consolations; and He moves them to gain all the virtues.

For this reason, taking in consideration Saint James’ words: “All perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of

lights”. We have a reason to consider in this devotion, already universal and each time more fervent, the invaluable

gift that the Incarnate Verb, our divine Savior and unique Mediator of the grace and the truth between the Heavenly

Father and the human race, has granted the Church, His mystical Spouse, in the course of the last centuries, in the

one in which She (the Church), has had to surpass or overcome so many difficulties and trials. Thanks to an incredible

gift, the Church can better and more manifest her love for her Divine Founder and fulfill with fidelity this exhortation,

that the Apostle St. John affirmed came from Jesus himself.

“In the great day of the feast, Jesus standing up said in a loud voice: “He, who is thirsty, come to me and

drink, he who believes in me.” As the Sacred Scripture says, “from His bosom rivers of live water would gush forth”

and this He said it about the Holy Spirit that would receive those who believe in Him.” Those ones who heard these

words of Jesus, with the promise of live water would come from their bosom , easily they related these prophesies

of Isaiah, Ezequiel and Zachariah , in these prophesies they referred to the Messiah’s kingdom, and also with the

symbolic rock from which, being hit by Mosses miraculously water gushed forth.

Divine charity has its first origin in the Holy Spirit, who is the Personal Love from the Father and the Son, in

the bosom of the Most Holy Trinity. With all reason, Saint Paul, as making himself echo of Jesus Christ’s words,

believes that the Spirit of Love infuses the charity in the souls of the believers: “This love of God has been spread in

our hearts by the Holy spirit that has been given to us.

There exists between the Holy Spirit, who is essentially LOVE, the divine charity that should be inflamed

each time more in the soul of the faithful, it reveals to all in an admirable way, venerable brethren, the intimate

nature of the devotion that must be given to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

It is manifested that this devotion, if we consider its nature, is the act of religion for Excellency. It is a full

and absolute will of giving oneself totally and consecrating to the love of the Divine Redeemer, which more vivid

signal and symbol is, His pierced Heart. In the same way, it is clear and in a most profound sense that this devotion

asks before anything else, that our love correspond to the divine Love, because only by charity the human heart will

live totally under the motions of the Holy Spirit doing the divine Will, in such a way that a person who lives like this,

almost becomes one thing with that divine Will, as it is written: “Whoever clings to the Lord becomes one spirit with

Him.

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

In our first reading today from the book of Exodus, we read about Moses’

encounter with God on a mountain. In scripture, mountains are a place where God

encounters His people and where people encounter God. Although God already

knows how “stiffed-necked” His people can be, He still comes near to them and

walks with them. God making Himself available in this way shows us how God

desires to be with His people, despite their stubbornness.

Today’s second reading gives us a guide on how we can encounter the

Lord and allow Him to walk with us. St. Paul tells the Corinthians to change their

ways, encourage one another, and live in peace. While we may not have to

physically climb a mountain to encounter God, we have mountains in our everyday

lives. Here, the Lord gives us the opportunity to grow in patience, charity, humility,

etc. These mountains can be a person at work or school, who challenges us to be

charitable, or our spouses, children, or siblings, who challenge our patience. All

these challenges are opportunities to change our ways, encourage one another, and

live in peace. It is a chance to climb the mountain and encounter the living God. This

is because we are reflecting who God is, a patient, loving, and merciful Father that

walks with His children on their journey through life.

Today’s gospel reflects this love God the Father has for us as He sent His

only Son to bring us back to Him. It is on the mountain of Calvary where God

encounters His people most fully. Through His Son, we have the ability to encounter

God through Jesus Christ who gave Himself completely out of love for us. Jesus, out

of love, saves us and secures what we lost. However, because of our sinfulness we

sometimes want to find this security in ourselves or in worldly things such as money,

pleasures, honor, etc. But we have to remember that all these things pass away, but

God never does.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity celebrates the family of three

Persons in one God, who live in total communion with one another. Just like the

Trinity, we are called to live in communion with and for one another. Today, let us

pray that we may be images of the Most Holy Trinity by constantly giving ourselves

to one another out of total love. Likewise, let us pray that this week the Holy Spirit

may give us the grace to encounter God in our daily mountains and so be able to

share the love, peace, and joy we have received from Him.

--Charles Silvas

Please welcome Charles silvas!

We would like for you all to extend a warm

welcome to Charles Silvas. He is a seminarian

for the Diocese of Corpus Christi and will be

staying with us here at St. Martin for the

summer. He will be helping our office staff

and Fr. Naul in whatever way he can. He will

be in our office Tuesday – Friday during

regular business hours and will be helping out

during weekend services. So stop in if you

have a chance and say hello. If there are any

young people who are considering a vocation

here is your chance to come in and talk to

someone about your interest.

EXPLORE RETREAT

June 26, 2017 - June 30, 2017

Camp Aranzazu – Rockport, TX EXPLORE is a summer experience for young men who want to understand their faith better, know themselves better, have fun, and make new friends from all over

the diocese.

EXPLORE is for young men who are enrolled in high school or who will be enrolling this fall, as well as recent high school graduates.

EXPLORE often helps a young man discern his God given vocation. In a society that does not seem to understand how someone could accept a vocation to the

priesthood, it helps him to meet others who would like to know more and also those who have been in priestly formation. However, EXPLORE is not just all talks or

prayer, but also a lot of fun! The facilities at Camp Aranzazu include sports facilities, swimming pool, zip line, and much more!

COST: $50.00

For more information please call the Office of Vocations at 361-334-2781 or see Seminarian Charles Silvas in the St. Martin’s Parish Office.
