6 de Mayo Quinto Domingo de Pascua

May 6, 2012 Fifth Sunday of Easter

Congratulations to our 32 confirmandi, and to Auxiliary Bishop George Sheltz! What a special week this has been, for our Archdiocese and our parish, leading up to this special day! We at Most Holy Trinity offer our sincere congratulations to our new Auxiliary Bishop George Sheltz. This past Tuesday at solemn vespers he was invested with the Miter and Crosier, symbols of his office. Then on Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 he was ordained by our Ordinary, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo. Congratulations, Bishop Sheltz! Thank you for your many years of service in this Archdiocese. We look forward to having you many more years to come in your new role as our Auxiliary Bishop. And we are especially blessed that on this first Sunday after Bishop Sheltz’ ordination he is with us to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation for 27 youth and four adults. Congratulations to each and every one of you! May you be strengthened by the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, which you receive in a special manner today, and may they continue to grow and guide you throughout all the days of your life! Thank you for your witness and your commitment. And I offer a heartfelt thanks to the catechists! Your role is so important in forming both youth and adults to walk in the ways of the Lord and his Church. Thank you, thank you, thank you! As we ended the religious education year with our annual May Crowning, I would like to take this opportunity to thank each student as well. It is good that you have come to grow a little bit more in your knowledge of the Faith. May God fill you with blessings as you begin to focus on summer and vacations! And, unless something completely unforeseen has happened, we will be having a reception with our newly confirmed in St. Basil’s Hall with air conditioning! We lost our A/C last November, and have finally installed a new system. More to come on that in a future bulletin.

¡Felicitaciones a nuestros 32 nuevos confirmados, y al obispo auxiliar George Sheltz! ¡Qué semana tan especial para nuestra Arquidiócesis y para nuestra parroquia, la cual nos codujo a este día tan especial! Nosotros, en La Santísima Trinidad, ofrecemos nuestras más sinceras felicitaciones a nuestro nuevo Obispo Auxiliar George

Sheltz. El martes pasado, durante las vísperas solemnes, fue investido con la Mitra y Báculo, símbolos de su oficio. Luego, el miércoles por la tarde a las 2:00, fue ordenado por nuestro Ordinario, Daniel Cardenal DiNardo. ¡Felicidades, Señor obispo Sheltz! Gracias por tantos años de servicio en esta Arquidiócesis. Esperamos contar con usted muchos años más en su nuevo papel como nuestro obispo auxiliar. Y somos bendecidos muy especialmente porque, en este primer domingo después de la ordenación el Obispo Sheltz, él estará con nosotros para efectuar el Sacramento de la Confirmación de 27 jóvenes y cuatro adultos. ¡Felicidades a todos y cada uno de ustedes! ¡Que sean fortalecidos con los dones del Espíritu Santo, que hoy reciben de una manera especial, y que estos dones continúen creciendo y guiándolos durante todos los días

de su vida! Gracias por su testimonio y compromiso. ¡Y ofrezco un sincero agradecimiento a los catequistas! Su papel es tan importante en la formación de jóvenes y adultos para andar los caminos del Señor y de su Iglesia. ¡Gracias, gracias, gracias! Al terminar nuestro año de educación religiosa con la Coronación Anual de Mayo, me gustaría aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecer también a cada estudiante. Es bueno que hayan venido para crecer un poco más en el conocimiento de la fe. ¡Que Dios los llene de bendiciones al empezar ahora a enfocarse en el verano y las vacaciones! Y, a menos que suceda algo totalmente imprevisto, vamos a tener una recepción con los nuevos confirmados en el salón de San Basilio ¡con aire acondicionado! Se descompuso nuestro A / C en noviembre pasado, y finalmente se ha instalado un nuevo sistema. Más información sobre esto en un boletín futuro.

REFLEXCION DEL EVANLIO, Quinto Domingo de Pascua

GOSPEL REFLECTION, Fifth Sunday of Easter

En una Catedral en Bruselas hay un altar con una superficie de vidrio que se apoya en dos pelícanos, uno de ellos con las alas cerradas, y el otro con las alas bien abiertas. Esto ha sido adoptado por los cristianos para simbolizar el sacrificio de Cristo en la cruz. En este altar de la catedral de Bruselas, el pelícano con las alas cerradas representa a la Iglesia contemplativa, en oración, y el pelícano con las alas abiertas a la Iglesia activa, obrando. Ambos elementos, la oración contemplativa y la activa, fueron parte integral de la vida de Cristo. Pero es peligroso si nos concentramos demasiado en la oración o en las buenas obras, cuando nos obsesionamos en la una o en la otra. Jesús no escribió ningún libro ni construyó ningún edificio de la iglesia. Él confió su mensaje a sus amigos. Les aseguró que estaría siempre con ellos. Su fortaleza estaría en su unidad y su unidad se centraría en El. Las cosas no han cambiado. Hoy en día, nuestra supervivencia misma depende de esa unidad, tanto como individuos así como comunidades. ¿Por qué debo ir a la iglesia? ¿Acaso no puedo encontrar a Dios por mi cuenta? Jesús fue muy enfático en este punto: “Yo soy la vid, ustedes los sarmientos.” (Juan 15:5). La vid y los sarmientos son uno. Decir: “Voy a seguir a Cristo pero no quiero ser parte de la Iglesia”, es separar a Cristo de la Iglesia, es cortar los sarmientos de la vid. Nos reunimos alrededor del altar para estar unidos a Cristo, para estar conectados en comunidad y comunión, (no democracia, pero comunidad) para ser nutridos por la Palabra y la Eucaristía, para salir fortalecidos. Un cristiano solitario no existe. Unidos a Cristo podemos hacer cualquier cosa. Separado de él, no podemos hacer nada. En la actualidad, nuestra celebración de la liturgia, juntos, es una imagen de la vid y los sarmientos. La vid es Jesús y el vino es Jesús. Vino y pan, símbolos del amor que compartimos y de la vida que juntos buscamos.

In a Cathedral in Brussels there is an alter with a glass surface that is supported by two pelicans, one with closed wings, the other with its wings wide open. This has been adopted by Christians to symbolize the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. In the

Brussels Cathedral altar, the pelican with the closed wings represents the contemplative, praying Church, and the pelican with the open wings is the active, outreaching Church. Both elements, contemplative prayer and outreach, were integral parts of Christ’s life. But we are in danger if we focus too much on prayer or good works, when we obsess on one or the other. Jesus wrote no book and built no church building. He entrusted his message to his friends. He assured them that he would be with them always. Their strength would be in their unity and their unity would be centered on him. Things haven’t changed. Our very survival today depends on that unity both as individuals and as communities. Why should I go to church? Can’t I meet God on my own? Jesus was very emphatic on that point: “I am the vine, you are the branches.” (John 15:5). The vine and the branches are one. To say, “I will follow Christ but I don’ want to be part of the Church,” is to separate Christ from the Church, to cut the branches from the vine. We gather around the altar to be united to Christ, to be joined in community and communion, (not democracy, but community) to be nourished by word and Eucharist, to go out empowered. There is no such thing as a solitary Christian. United with Christ, we can do anything. Separated from him, we can do nothing. Today, our liturgy together, is an image of the vine and the branches. The vine is Jesus and the wine is Jesus. Wine and bread, the sign of the love we share and the life we seek together. - Deacon Rob - Deacon Rob

Youth Minister / Music Director at Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in San Antonio, TX.

The Group started performing together at the youth mass on Sunday nights. One parishioner, Tom Rehkopf, was so moved by their music and felt strongly that it should be heard beyond their parish, that he offered to produce a CD. This CD, Gifts of Grace is now for sale in Trinity Book Nook for $14.00 plus tax.
