Letter from the Pastor

When God Created Fathers Dear Friends,

The journalist, Erma Bombeck, wrote the following essay for Father’s Day years ago, which I’ve always enjoyed:

When God was creating fathers, he started with a tall frame. And a female angel nearby said, “What kind of father is that? If you’re going to make children so close to the ground, why have your put fathers up so high? He won’t be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed without bending, or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping.” And God smiled and said, “Yes, but if I make him child-size, whom would children have to look up to?”

And when God made a father’s hands, they were large and sinewy, and the angel shook her head sadly and said, “Do you know what you’re doing? Large hands are clumsy. They can’t manage diaper pins, small buttons, rubber bands on pony tails or even remove splinters caused by baseball bats.” And God smiled and said, “I know, but they’re large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his pockets at the end of a day yet small enough to cup a child’s face.”

God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had ever seen when the angel could contain herself no longer. “That’s not fair! Do you honestly think those large boats are going to dig out of bed early in the morning when the baby cries? Or walk through a small birthday party without crushing at least three of the guests?” And God smiled and said, “They’ll work. You’ll see. They’ll scare off mice at the summer cabin and display shoes that will be a challenge to fill.”

God worked throughout the night, giving the father few words but a strong voice, eyes that saw everything but remained calm and tolerant.

Finally, almost as an afterthought, God added—tears. Then he turned to the angel and said, “Now, are you satisfied that a father can love as much as a mother?”

The angel shutteth up!

I wish all fathers a happy Father’s Day!

God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

Whoever believes in Him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because He has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (John 3:16-18)

God loves the world. God loves the world so much that he sent His only son to lead the world to everlasting life.

On this Trinity Sunday, we read a Gospel about love because the mystery of the Trinity is not about math – Three in One, One in Three – but about love.

God is one, but God is not solitary. Three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, are distinct and yet united.

By our baptism, we become the dwelling places of God, and our destiny is to be drawn ever more formally into the circle of life and light that is the Blessed Trinity.

When: July 7-11 from 9 AM-12 NOON Who: 3 years old- entering 6th grade. Cost: $65 per child or $100 family max

Adult Catholics Growing in Faith The Holy Trinity Today as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, it is important to know what it is we be-lieve about what is not understandable. For the Catechism of the Catholic Chruch:

THE DOGMA OF THE HOLY TRINITY

253 The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the “consubstantial Trinity.” The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: “The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e., by nature one God.” In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215): “Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature.”

254 The divine persons are really distinct from one another. “God is one but not solitary.” “Father,” “Son,” “Holy Spirit” are not simply names designating modalities of the divine being, for they are really distinct from one another: “He is not the Father who is the Son, nor is the Son he who is the Father, nor is the Holy Spirit he who is the Father or the Son.” They are distinct from one another in their relations of origin: “It is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds.” The divine Unity is Triune.

255 The divine persons are relative to one another. Because it does not divide the divine unity, the real distinction of the persons from one another resides solely in the relationships which relate them to one another: “In the relational names of the persons the Father is related to the Son, the Son to the Father, and the Holy Spirit to both. While they are called three persons in view of their relations, we believe in one nature or substance.” Indeed “everything (in them) is one where there is no opposition of relationship.” “Because of that unity the Father is wholly in the Son and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Son is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Son.”

256 St. Gregory of Nazianzus, also called “the Theologian,” entrusts this summary of Trinitarian faith to the catechumens of Constantinople:

“Above all guard for me this great deposit of faith for which I live and fight, which I want to take with me as a compan-ion, and which makes me bear all evils and despise all pleasures: I mean the profession of faith in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I entrust it to you today. By it I am soon going to plunge you into water and raise you up from it. I give it to you as the companion and patron of your whole life. I give you but one divinity and power, existing one in three, and containing the three in a distinct way. Divinity without disparity of substance or nature, without superior degree that raises up or inferior degree that casts down... the infinite co-naturality of three infinites. Each person considered in him-self is entirely God... the three considered together.... I have not even begun to think of unity when the Trinity bathes me in its splendor. I have not even begun to think of the Trinity when unity grasps me.... 92

IN BRIEF

261 The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith and of Christian life. God alone can make it known to us by revealing himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

262 The Incarnation of God’s Son reveals that God is the eternal Father and that the Son is consubstantial with the Father, which means that, in the Father and with the Father, the Son is one and the same God.

263 The mission of the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father in the name of the Son (Jn 14:26) and by the Son “from the Fa-ther” (Jn 15:26), reveals that, with them, the Spirit is one and the same God. “With the Father and the Son he is wor-shipped and glorified” (Nicene Creed).

264 “The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father as the first principle and, by the eternal gift of this to the Son, from the communion of both the Father and the Son” (St. Augustine, De Trin. 15, 26, 47: PL 42:1095).

265 By the grace of Baptism “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” we are called to share in the life of the Blessed Trinity, here on earth in the obscurity of faith, and after death in eternal light (Cf. Paul VI, CPG § 9).

266 “Now this is the Catholic faith: We worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity, without either confusing the persons or dividing the substance; for the person of the Father is one, the Son’s is another, the Holy Spirit’s another; but the Godhead of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal” (Athanasian Creed; DS 75; ND 16).

267 Inseparable in what they are, the divine persons are also inseparable in what they do. But within the single divine operation each shows forth what is proper to him in the Trinity, especially in the divine missions of the Son’s Incarnation and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Twelve-Step for Everyone We are all powerless over something! It may be someone else’s behavior or our own, the economy, or grief that just won’t go away. Meetings are held on Thursday evenings in the Our Lady Queen of Angels parish center from 6:30-8:00 PM. All are welcome to join. We use the standard twelve steps that are the core of twelve step programs, as well as Catholic teachings and Scripture.Open, friendly, and confidential.
