Palabras de Esperanza Un saludo fraterno en el señor. Ya hemos terminado el tiempo Pascual. Hoy empeza-mos el llamado “Tiempo Ordinario” y lo empezamos con la fiesta de la “Santísima Trinidad”. Jesús nos a re-velado que Dios no es solitario, si no amor, y familia. Por eso los cristianos, sabemos que Dios es Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Hermanos y hermanas, nuestro Dios es amor y nos invi-ta a comunicar su amor como todos los domingos en el nombre de la Santísima Trinidad, empezamos nuestras asambleas cristianas: En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. El domingo, 29 de mayo, celebraremos la fiesta del Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo; en la misa de mediodía (12:00 PM) tendremos una procesión con el Santísimo Sacramento del Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo. Manifestemos la misericordia de Jesús en nuestras obras concretas… Dios los bendiga. S u s h e r m a n o s s a c e r do t e s d i o c e s a n o s , P. Walter Paredes, P. William Ruther y su visitante P. Enrique Hernández

Words of Hope Fraternal greetings in the Lord, We have already finished the Easter season. Today we begin the so-called “Ordinary Time” and we began with the feast of the "Holy Trinity”. Jesus revealed to us that God is not alone, but He is love, and family. Us as Christians, we know that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Brothers and sisters, our God is love, and every Sun-day He invites us to share his love, in the name of the Holy Trinity. As we always begin our Christian assem-blies: In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. On Sunday, May 29, we will celebrate the feast of the Holy Body and Blood of Christ; during Mass at noon (12:00 PM) we will have a procession with the Blessed Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ. Let the mercy of Christ manifest in our everyday lives… God bless you. You diocesan priest brothers, P. Walter Paredes, P. William Ruther and your visitor P. Enrique Hernández

The Most Holy Trinity

22 de Mayo del 2016

La Santísima Trinidad

Journey of Faith We are on a long and eventful journey. Today’s readings for Trinity Sunday succinctly cover the depth and breadth of our human travels. The very beginnings of our journey are revealed in the read-ing 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 Advo-cate—the Spirit of Truth—take us onward. This does not diminish the fact that the journey will be hard. The very setting of the Gospel is the night before Jesus died. As Saint Paul writes to the Ro-mans, “[W]e even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endur-ance, 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 Tri-nidad cubren sucintamente la profundidad y la amplitud de nuestros viajes humanos. Los comienzos de nuestro viaje se revelan en la lectura de Proverbios. El plan de Dios lleno de sabiduría divina nació antes de que la tie-rra 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 momento el Paráclito –el Espíritu de la Verdad– nos llevará hacia adelante. Esto no disminu-ye la dificultad del viaje. El contexto mismo del Evange-lio es la noche antes de la muerte de Jesús. Como san Pablo les escribe a los romanos, “Nos gloriamos hasta de los sufrimientos, pues sabemos que el sufrimiento en-gendra la paciencia, la paciencia engendra la virtud sóli-da, la virtud sólida engendra la esperanza” (Romanos 5:3-4). En última instancia, nuestro viaje humano está mo-delado por la Santísima Trinidad –una familia de amor entre el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu que todos somos lla-mados a emular.
