PASTOR’S COLUMN
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I saw this reflection in Bringing Home the Word published by Ligouri Publications
and wanted to share it with you.
THE GIFT OF THE HOLY TRINITY
“Everything that the Father has is mine; … [the Spirit] will take from what is mine
and declare it to you.” John 16:12-15
My neighbor shared that she got a porch swing for Mother’s Day one year. “Oh,”
I said, “That’s a great gift. Your husband really knows how to shop for you.” She replied, “Only because I told him exactly what I wanted. I picked it out; he picked it
up.” Is anyone else envious of her? Sure, it loses the element of surprise, but it’s quite
nice to receive exactly what you asked for.
We can spend Most Holy Trinity Sunday meditating on the mystery of the Trinitarian nature of God, but today’s readings also remind us to reflect on the incredible
gift of the Trinity. It’s exactly what we asked for – even though we wouldn’t have
known to ask for such a gift.
We experience the creative power of the Father in the Proverbs reading. All the
universe’s beauty, all the details of nature, all artistic inspirations find their source in
the Father. What a most desired gift!
We experience the redeeming power of the Son, who took on our human nature
as His own. He knows our struggles and joys and He calls us to leave behind our sins
and follow His example. His love to the end redeems our brokenness and has given
us hope which, as St. Paul declares, “Does not disappoint.”
We experience the sanctifying power of the Spirit, who sustains us daily with the
love of the Father and Son. We can choose rightly, live justly, and act lovingly because of the Spirit’s guidance in every moment.
What a gift indeed. What a God we have. We are, among all people, so richly
blessed.
Questions for Reflection:
What have I asked God for? What do I hope the Trinity offers?
How do I reflect and manifest the loving unity of the Trinity?

From the Servant’s Heart

Slow Down, You Cross Too Fast!
Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. It is a very
important and sacred feast we celebrate that reminds us of the
three persons in one God: God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit. God the Father whom we call our Creator.
God the Son, Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. God the Holy Spirit,
the Sanctifier.
We profess our faith in the Holy Trinity when we make the
Sign of the Cross. Today, I would like to encourage us to slow
down in performing this sacred act. When you do mark yourself
with Holy Cross, please do it in a very prayerful way. It is a simple yet profound expression of our love and gratitude and faith in
our loving Father who is the Author of all creation, the Son Jesus
who came to visit us and laid down His life to save us and the
Holy Spirit who has kept Holy Mother Church standing and thriving since its foundation 20 centuries ago. After all, why the rush?
the time to read our bulletin. I really appreciate it. We owe it all to
Erika Sanchez, our bulletin editor. Thank you so much and way
to go, Erika! Keep it up.
Thank You for Walking the Talk
I would like to thank all of you who are participating in the
Crop Walk. Thank you for your financial support and food donations. This is exactly what a “life -giving faith” is all about, giving
life to others especially the poor. Thank you to Juan Leon and
his family, Adela, Christian, Matthew, Adan and Jaden for assisting us in recruiting and registration. Thanks to all the members of
the Pastoral Council who helped promote this event. We really
appreciate your effort and leadership.
Please Don’t Wait Or It’s too Late
If you or a family member or friend are ever sick, we would
love to serve you with the Sacrament of the Anointing of the
Sick. This is a very powerful sacrament where the sick person is
anointed with the Holy Oil for the Sick. This oil was consecrated
by our Archbishop Jose Gomez last Holy Monday of this year.
The sick is anointed on the forehead and hands. The patient is
also invited to make the Sacrament of Reconciliation since God’s
forgiveness greatly helps in the person’s healing. The sick person is also offered Holy Communion who is Jesus the Healer.
Please remember that the Sacrament of Anointing is not only
for people who are at the point of death. Please don’t wait for the
last hour. As soon as possible, please call the priest. As much as
possible, call the office at daytime. We very much appreciate you
not making the priest get up at 3 am. Some people are scared to
call the priest for anointing. The Sacrament of Anointing is all
about healing, not death. Please don’t keep putting it off until the
last minute. There’s nothing to lose and so much to gain.
A Mass for our Deacon Couples
This Holy Trinity Sunday, we thank God for our wonderful
couples who are in the diaconate program, Victor and Lulu Ceja
and John and Irma Saavedra. The Cejas are on their third year
in formation and the Saavedras are on their first year. We thank
them for responding to God’s call for them to serve our community as future deacons. Their diaconate formation is not easy.
They need our prayers and support. That is why we would like to
pray for them and bless them and thank God with them at the
9:30 am Mass.
We also thank our deacon couples, Dn. Charles and Olivia
Denisac and Dn. Carlos and Betty Origel who have inspired and
mentored the Cejas and the Saavedras. Thanks also to Fr. Mark
Warnstedt, our former pastor, whose approval and support were
vital for these two couples to begin their formation. Please keep
them in your prayers that they will persevere.
Read and Lead
How many of us today still read? If we want to lead, we must
read. We cannot give what we don’t have. As Stephen Covey,
author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People said:
“Sharpen the Saw.”
And how many of us still read the bulletin? Don’t worry you’re
not alone. I for one am guilty of that…sometimes. I’m surprised
when people comment to me about something in the bulletin
whether it’s something positive or negative. That means there
are still some people who take the time to read it! Whoa!
This is all I want to say: Thank you so very much for taking
Thank you for your Financial Support!
I hope you will never get tired of me thanking you for your
financial support for our parish. It really means a lot to our
church. We, as a People of God, cannot continue God’s work
without your generosity. Besides the Holy Spirit, it’s because of
each of you who has never wavered in your support of our
church in spite of the changes we encountered. Your response
to the transition certainly defines the kind of faith and character
you have as a Catholic and as a parishioner of our beautiful
church OLPH. Indeed, “A Church with the Heart”…regardless of
the weather. It’s about our sacred duty to support, serve and to
give back to God.
Prayers for Adelaida Siemann
Please pray for our dear Adelaida Siemann. She is the beloved wife of Ron Siemann who faithfully serves us in the weekday Mass. He also serves as an antiphonarian in the Morning
Prayers, prepares what we need for the Mass and has been our
altar server in funeral Masses. That’s a lot of love, support, and
service for OLPH.
His wife, Adelaida, suffered a mild stroke a couple of weeks
ago. Please remember her in the Masses you attend and in the
rosaries you pray. Thank you so much. Please get well soon,
Adelaida. Of course, we also pray for Ron for strength and guidance in taking care of his wife and also for his good health so
that he will always be with us in our community services. Thank
you so very much, Ron and Adelaida!
“There’s no limit to what you
can achieve if you don’t mind
who gets the credit.”

Father Strickland, SJ, 1863)

HOLY HUMOR
EXTRA LANGUAGES
A Swiss man, looking for directions, pulls up
at a bus stop where two guys are waiting.
"Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks. The two guys just stare at him.
"Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he
tries. The two continue to stare.
"Parlare Italiano?" No response.
"Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing.
The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted.
The first guy turns to the second and says,
"Y' know, maybe we should learn a foreign language."
"Why?" says the other. "That guy knew four
languages, and it didn't do him any good."

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,
Vi esta reflexión en Bringing Home the Word publicada por Ligouri Publications y
quiero compartirla con ustedes.
EL REGALO DE LA SANTÍSIMA TRINIDAD
"Todo lo que tiene el padre es mío; … [el espíritu] Por eso he dicho que tomará de lo
mío y se lo comunicará a ustedes." Juan 16:12-15
Mi vecina compartió que un año el día de las Madres ella recibió un columpio
para ponerlo en el porche. "Oh," dije, "ese es un gran regalo. Su marido sabe que
regalarle." Ella respondió: "Sólo porque que le dije lo que quería. El tomó la
sugerencia; y la llevo a cabo." ¿Hay alguien más que le tenga envidia? Sin duda, pierde
el elemento sorpresa, pero es bastante agradable recibir exactamente lo que uno pide.
Podemos pasar meditando el Domingo de la Santísima Trinidad sobre el misterio
de la naturaleza trinitaria de Dios, pero las lecturas de hoy también nos recuerdan
reflexionar sobre el increíble regalo de la Trinidad. Es exactamente lo que pedimos,
aunque no hubiéramos sabido como pedir tal regalo.
Experimentamos el poder creativo del Padre en la lectura de Proverbios. Toda la
belleza del universo, todos los detalles de la naturaleza, todas las inspiraciones
artísticas encuentran su fuente en el Padre. ¡Qué regalo más deseado!
Experimentamos la energía redentora del hijo, que tomó nuestra naturaleza
humana como propia. Conoce nuestras luchas y alegrías nos llama a dejar atrás
nuestros pecados y seguir su ejemplo. Su amor hasta el final redime nuestro
quebrantamiento y nos da la esperanza de que, como declara San Pablo, "no nos
defraudará."
Experimentamos el poder santificador del Espíritu, que nos sostiene cada día con el
amor del Padre y del Hijo. Podemos elegir con la razón, vivir justamente y actuar
amorosamente en cada momento bajo la dirección del Espíritu.
De hecho qué regalo. Que Dios tenemos. Somos inmensamente bendecidos, entre
todas las personas.
Pregunta para Reflexionar:
¿Qué le he pedido a Dios? ¿Que espero que la Trinidad me ofrezca?
¿Cómo reflejo y manifiesto la unidad amorosa de la Trinidad?

Mensaje del Diácono Carlos
PÁGINA 7
Mis Hermanas y Hermano
Saludos. Hoy celebramos la fiesta de la Santísima Trinidad,
Un solo Dios en tres personas distintas. Cuanta veces nos
hemos quebrado la cabeza tratando de descifrar el enigma:
uno en tres, tres en uno. En verdad, la grandeza de Dios no
cabe en nuestra mente.
Se cuenta de San Agustín, uno de los doctores de la Iglesia,
que un día trataba de comprender el misterio de la Santísima
Trinidad mientras paseaba por la orilla del mar. Vio a un niño
que jugaba con la arena en la playa; había hecho un hoyo e iba
y venia acarreando agua en la cuenca de la mano para llenar el
hoyo. Cuando San Agustín le preguntó que era lo que quería
hacer, el niño le respondió que quería vaciar el agua del
océano en el hoyo que había abierto. "Pero eso es imposible,"
le dijo San Agustín, "no ves que el océano es infinitamente más
grande que el hoyo". Se cuenta que el niño le contesto: "Es
igualmente imposible tratar de vaciar en tu mente la
inmensidad del misterio de la Santísima Trinidad".
Como han podido ver en las banderas fuera de la iglesia
invitándonos vivir la novena de La Consagración a Jesús a
Través de María, los invitamos cordialmente a que asistan a las
Misas y catequesis que el Padre Broom (Padre Escobita) nos
compartirá cada semana.
Bendiciones,
Diacono Carlos
