On the Cover Within these walls is a newly-created shrine for the statues of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and St. Joseph and the Christ Child that were previously located in the sanctuary. The former confessional most recently used by Msgr. Sean Flanagan was repurposed while the church was closed. Fr. Sean passed to eternal life on May 7, 2019 and was Pastor of St. Bartholomew from 2002 to 2006.

We celebrate the feast of St. Thérèse on October 1. She was born in Alençon, France in 1873 and died in 1895, and was named a Doctor of the Church. We celebrate the solemnity of St. Joseph on March 19 and again on May 1 for the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. St. Joseph was the husband of the Virgin Mary and the putative father of Jesus.

Saturday 8:00am, 5:00pm Vigil

Scripture Reflection

Celebrating the Holy Trinity

Today’s Readings: Exodus 34:4 b–6, 8–9; Daniel 3: 52, 54, 55; 2 Corinthians 13: 11–13; John 3: 16–18 Why does God love us so much? And why are we able to love others? The answer to these questions is found in the meaning of today’s feast. Trinity Sunday celebrates not so much an idea of three-in-one, as the relationship of the Persons of the Trinity with each other and with us. The idea of the Trinity is based on love. But God’s love was so great, God went even further. God created us to be loved by God.

Though human love is not perfect, the love of man and woman can produce another person, a child. The three Persons of the Trinity share one life in God. But through baptism we also share in God’s life. Just as parents love to see how their children look like them, so God loves to see the divine in us.

Our decision to love is a response to God’s love, and our ability to love is itself a gift from God. The meaning of life, the universe, and everything is Love, the love of the Trinity for each other and for us. The question now is, how well do we use that gift of God’s love by loving each other? Tom Schmidt, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Today we celebrate the Holy Trinity, one of the most confounding mysteries of our faith. Through this mystery we experience our relationship to God: Creator, Savior, and Holy Spirit. This relationship is not easy to understand or to describe. It does not become clearer through analysis. Its complexity mirrors the complexity of all our relationships. We understand our relationships with our spouses, our children, our parents, and our friends only through daily give-and-take, annual rituals, and the life-changing moments we share. We understand our relationships only as we live them. The relationships we have with those we love, and who love us, sustain us through an uncertain and difficult life. This is the Holy Trinity.

“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.” (John 3: 16-18). Today we honor the Holy Trinity—one God, yet three Persons. God is one, but God is not alone. God is love in the Trinity we have an ideal example of a relationship of pure and infinite love. Every time we make the sign of the cross may we be reminded of the love that bonds the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. May the love of the Holy Trinity be a model for us in our relationships with each other. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
