Social Justice Corner A Return to Ordinary Time with an Extraordinary Mission

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and a return to Ordinary Time. It is in the ordinary, the day-in-day-out, that we are called to walk the walk, modeling our lives on the way Jesus lived, trusting in Our Father who created us in His image and pours out the Holy Spirit into our hearts and world. It is through our friendship and union with the Trinity and our shared Eucharistic meal that we are sent out to do as Jesus did. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25:25-26. As we look to this ordinary week within this Divine Year of Mercy, how will we respond to: Feed the Hungry and Give Drink to the Thirsty? Consider: *make a donation to Catholic Relief Services for the earth-quake victims; *bring a bag of groceries for our St. Vincent de Paul ministry; *volunteer to serve a meal at a local shelter or bring a meal to Casa de Clara-a shelter for woman and chil-dren; *take a meal to someone who is elderly, sick, new par-ents or grieving; *reach out to the hungry in our community with a meal, a cup of coffee, a gift card. We are the Body of Christ – you and I – sent forth THIS week with a very doable, yet extraordinary mission. Imagine how God’s kindness could affect hundreds of people in the next seven days! Will you do you part? The Social Justice Committee

Most Holy Trinity

FINDING HOPE AMIDST TRAGEDY ____________________________________________________________

On April 16, 2016, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit Ecuador. This is considered one of the most powerful earthquake recorded in Latin America over the last two decades. News report have it that over 700 people were killed and injuries have been reported to be over 12,000 people. Damage to buildings and various infrastructure were wide-spread. Catholic Relief Services is coordinating with its partners and other humanitarian or-ganizations to determine how to best help the victims. According to CRS it plans to reach 20,000 families and help them with providing shelter, water and sanitation and psychological support. CRS also plans to provide hygiene kits that include soap and toothbrushes to as many families it can afford in Esmeraldas and Manabí, the two of the hardest-hit provinces. The people of Ecuador urgently need our help. As we celebrate Trinity Sunday, we are called to be in communion with the struggles of the people of Ecuador by offering con-tributions to our special collection this weekend (May 21st and 22nd). The Diocese of San Jose, headed by Bishop Patrick McGrath, supports the efforts being undertaken by Catholic Relief Services. He calls each one of us to support our brothers and sis-ters as they struggle to move on and to rebuild their homes and their lives. Your dona-tion will help CRS respond immediately. Should you wish to donate, please make checks payable to Queen of Apostles, and indicate “CRS/Ecuador” in the memo. Your generosity would be greatly appreciated.

“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” Hebrews 13:16

PEACEMAKERS

Fr. Christian de Cherge

Trappist Martyr of Algeria

On May 23, 1996, Islamic extremists murdered seven Trappist monks in Algeria. Fr. de Cherge and his companions had lived at the monastery in peace with their Arab neighbors. He joined the monastery there because of the kindness of an Arab friend when he had been a soldier in Algeria. The friend had saved his life. Fr. de Cherge wanted to repay an ancient debt. The monks shared his desire to create a place in the desert where Christians and Muslims could pray together. They lived by their Trappist beliefs and code, but at the same time welcomed their neighbors in for prayer. Fr. de Charge wrote to his murderer: “You, my last minute friend, you who know not what you do – may we be granted to meet together again in paradise, should it please God, the Father of both of us.”

Reflect on how we see our neighbor. How is it like or unlike Fr. de Cherge’s?
