Be Vigilant of Child Abuse at all times! It is vitally important that we are constantly vigilant-that we always observe the behaviors of those who interact with children. And we must always communicate our concerns to the appropriate parties When children exhibit dramatic behavioral changes, adults must find out what caused the changes. Being aware of what's happening with our children means talking to, listening to, and observing them-at every opportunity.

LIVING OUR FAITH @ BLESSED TRINITY… ...BROUGHT TO YOU BY M2 DECKING

Dear Holy Week People, Our journey to the cross with the Lord continues. We have begun Holy Week. All of us are invited to enter more deeply into the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ — especially this week. Will this week be like any other in our life? Will we make time (especially this week) to slow down and pray alone and pray with others in Church during our Holy Week celebrations? As a way to begin our Holy Week journey together, I offer this reflection that was given to me last week. Read ... and pass it on ....

On the day I die a lot will happen, a lot will change. The world will be busy. On the day I die, all the important appointments I made will be left unattended. The many plans I had yet to complete will remain forever undone. The calendar that ruled so many of my days will now be irrelevant to me. All the material things I so chased and guarded and treasured will be left in the hands of others to care for or discard. The words of my critics which so burdened me will cease to sting or capture anymore. They will be unable to touch me. The arguments I believed I’d won here will not serve me or bring me any satisfaction or solace. All my noisy incoming notifications and texts and calls will go unanswered. Their great urgency will be quieted. My many nagging regrets will all be resigned to the past, where they should have always been anyway. Every superficial worry about my body that I ever labored over—about my waistline or hairline or frown lines—will fade away. My carefully crafted image, the one I worked so hard to shape for others here, will be left to them to complete anyway. The sterling reputation I once struggled so greatly to maintain will be of little concern for me anymore. All the small and large anxieties that stole sleep from me each night will be rendered powerless. The deep and towering mysteries about life and death that so consumed my mind will finally be clarified in a way that they could never be before while I lived. These things will certainly all be true on the day that I die. Yet for as much as will happen on that day, one more thing will happen. On the day I die, the few people who really know and truly love me will grieve deeply. They will feel a void. They will feel cheated. They will not feel ready. They will feel as though a part of them has died as well. And on that day, more than anything in the world they will want more time with me. I know this from those I love and grieve over. And so knowing this, while I am still alive I’ll try to remember that my time with them is finite and fleeting and so very precious—and I’ll do my best not to waste a second of it. I’ll try not to squander a priceless moment worrying about all the other things that will happen on the day I die, because many of those things are either not my concern or beyond my control. Friends, those other things have an insidious way of keeping you from living even as you live; vying for your attention, competing for your affections. They rob you of the joy of this unrepeatable, uncontainable, ever-evaporating now with those who love you and want only to share it with you. Don’t miss the chance to dance with them while you can. It’s easy to waste so much daylight in the days before you die. Don’t let your life be stolen every day by all that you believe matters, because on the day you die, much of it simply won’t. Yes, you and I will die one day. But before that day comes: let us live.

Great food for thought as we begin Holy Week. See you this week in Church!

Blessings, Fr. Peter

Blessed Trinity’s 50/50 At least once a month a parishioner will come into the rectory asking us “What are those envelopes that say 50/50 all

about?” Just in case there are others out there who don’t know how they work, here is the explanation. The 50/50 is a simple fundraiser for the parish of Blessed Trinity. For every $5.00 you place in your envelope you will have one ticket

entered into the drawing. (So, if you place $20.00 in your envelope you will have 4 tickets placed in the drawing for that month). At the end of the month, any money that was put in the 50/50 envelopes that month is totaled up. Half

goes to Blessed Trinity and half is split between 4 parishioners whose tickets are drawn on the last weekend of the month. Being a parish that has three churches, some of our bills are triple what a parish with one church would be.

Three electric bills, three gas bills, three flower bills, three insurance bills….And so your participation in this simple fund-raiser really helps us to balance our budget . Your help is greatly appreciated.

Looking for information on vocations in the Diocese of Brooklyn?

Check out our website page: https://www.btparish.org/vocations

St. Edmund’s Community Center

On the following page you will see the floor plan for the section of the Community Center that will be used by many groups in the future.

The floor plan indicates that there is space for 170 chairs or if tables are set up, 80 chairs. There are four closets being built into the wall for

groups to use for storage. Whether it might be the Youth group, the Arts and Crafts Group, the Altar Rosary Society, Holy Name Society or CYO, there will be space for a multitude of activities or meetings. Hopefully

this meeting space will enhance our ability to reach out to all age groups...young and not so young, alike.

Next week……Updates continue...

PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD From the proclamation of the Gospel at the beginning of the liturgy, we know that today is different, not only because we hear two Gospel passages, or because we hold palms and process. Today begins Holy Week, a time set apart, a week in which to listen, pray, reflect, and take to heart the truth of Christ’s passion, crucifixion, death, and ultimately, resurrection. It takes a week, and a lifetime, to truly hear the message of Christ’s love. It is difficult for us to compre-hend that Jesus willingly sacrificed himself, so we must hear the story again and again. Let this week be for us a new moment of faith in which we, together with the criminal who was crucified with Christ, cry out, Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

JESUS ANNOUNCES GOD’S KINGDOM OF LOVE Jesus had walked, healed, forgiven sins, performed miracles, and eaten with the people. His message was simple yet profound: in Christ, the kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus announced God’s kingdom of love, teaching all who would listen. In God’s kingdom, the greatest is as the youngest; the leader is the servant. Those who follow Jesus are called to wash feet, attend to the last and the least, show mercy to the sinner, and love enemies. Even in the hour of his passion, Jesus did not turn away from his mission of love. He healed the ear of one who had come to arrest him, did not lash out at Pilate or Herod, consoled the women who wept, and forgave those who crucified him. He heard the cry of the criminal who called out to him from the cross, and promised him a place in Paradise. Jesus shows us that God’s way is the way of love at all costs, even when it means giving more than we think appropriate or possible.

WE SHARE CHRIST‘S MISSION Let us not be mistaken. Jesus’ mercy and forgiveness led him to the cross, and we who follow him will surely experience trials and be misunderstood in our determination to live as disciples. We will be called to make difficult decisions about the way we live our lives, serve others, give of our time and money, show patience, and favor those who are poor and vulnerable. Friends may turn away, family members may question our commitment to Christ above all else. Jesus remained singularly focused on God’s will. And so must we. Jesus gave without counting the cost, and so must we. In Christ, we also have a mission of love. We, too, are called to stay focused on God’s will. In this, we will announce God’s kingdom and be assured of our place in it when Christ returns in glory. In this Holy Week, let us reflect deeply on the mystery of God’s love for us in Christ and renew our commitment to live as Christian disciples in the world. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Later this week, the Chrism Mass is celebrated in every cathedral in the world in preparation for the Easter Triduum. Only a bishop can consecrate chrism, pure olive oil infused with rich fragrance, so this liturgy is a sign of the unity of the local Church and the bishops ministry to all who will be baptized and confirmed in our parishes in the coming year. Chrism is also used in the ordination of priests and bishops and the consecration of new altars. Two other sacramental oils, the unscented olive oil for catechumens and for the sick, will be blessed in the same liturgy and transported carefully to every parish by the beginning of the Triduum. Remember when Noah’s dove returned with the sign of the world’s rebirth? The dove carried an olive branch, a pledge that God was breathing the world to life again. Yet olives require human nurture. Olives are inedible unless they are cured by human labor. Olive trees grow on sunny slopes, away from the shade of city walls, so they can only be properly tended, cured, and laboriously pressed in peace time. The Chrism Mass with its olive oils expresses God’s deepest desires for us, and our resolve to place our lives in service to God’s saving, healing, loving plan. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

April 14, 2019 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

THE STORY OF OUR REDEMPTION We begin the final week of Lent with these familiar readings. This year, we hear the Passion from the Gospel of Luke. These readings for Palm Sunday and the Passion used to be read on successive Sundays. Now they are combined into a single feast, so that we may see the whole sweep of the glory and the suffering played out. Jesus accepts the adulation of the crowd, the foreshadowing of his glory in the Resurrection. He bids farewell to his disciples in his last Passover, and forgives his tormentors as he dies on the cross. Later this week, we enter the Holy Triduum of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, when the whole story of our redemption will play out once again. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

One Who Serves In the long form of the Passion from Luke's Gospel, Jesus refers to himself as "the one who serves." He was chiding the apostles who were arguing about which one was the greatest disciple. This reminds me of today's second reading from Paul's letter to the Philippians. He says that Christ "emptied himself, taking the form of a slave" (Philippians 2:7). Jesus is not just being humble here. He gives us an example of how far God will go for love of humanity. I suspect the apostles were confused when Jesus talked this way. Jews considered the firstborn son to be the one to inherit the bulk of the family estate. The youngest would get the least. Yet he tells them to be like the youngest: expect little reward for what you do for others. Now the apostles might have thought, "Sure, I can do that. I'll preach about the Kingdom of God for free. Then I'll really look important and holy." So Jesus reminds them that the world looks at the person being served as more important than the servant. But he is one who serves, and if the apostles are to be leaders of the church, they will need to be servants, too. Why? Because that is how God comes to the people--as a child born in a manger, a man who feeds the hungry but goes for forty days in the desert without food for himself, a man who washes the feet of his own disciples, and who heals the sick but accepts the suffering of crucifixion. In the Passion according to Luke, Jesus heals one of the men sent to arrest him. He even makes friends of those who were enemies, Pilate and Herod (Luke 23:12). Barabbas, a murderer, is set free so Jesus can be crucified. As he is led to the cross, he consoles the women who weep for him. And even on the cross, he is the suffering servant who asks the Father to forgive those who are killing him. He accepts the faith of the criminal who is also being executed and promises him a place in Paradise. With the example of service that Jesus shows toward those who put him to death, can we at least be "one who serves" those around us? Can we at least forgive those who hurt us--maybe even pray for our leaders, especially the ones with whom we disagree? Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Floater and Smitty … Floater: While camping with my dog, a strong wind came along and blew our tent away. I said, “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in canvas anymore.” Smitty: Never iron a four leaf clover! You don’t want to press your luck! Floater: How did we survive? Our moms wiped our faces clean with spit on a hanky, not an antibacterial wipe. Smitty: I didn’t think wearing orthopedic shoes would help but I stand corrected. Floater: I may look like I’m having deep thoughts but 99% of the time I’m thinking about who is going to buy me coffee. Smitty: So Genghis Khan had a brother who contracted leprosy and was banished to Ireland where he was known as Leper Khan Floater: A prankster once challenged me to balance two eggs on my head. It wasn’t long before I realized the yolk was on me. Smitty: Did you hear about the corduroy pillows? They’re making headlines Floater: My friends all say I’m the cheapest person they’ve ever met… …I don’t buy it! Smitty: Eye drops are technically blinker fluid.
