St. Philip Catholic Church: Hoy celebramos el misterio de la Santísima Trindad, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. A la primera vista, la Trindad puede parecer una doctrina difícil de explicar. Pero las lecturas de hoy nos invitan no solo a comprender la Trindad intelectualmente, sino a experimentar lo que la Trindad significa para nuestras vidas. La Trindad es una relación de amor perfecto. The Father gives himself completely to the Son. The Son receives this love and gives himself completely to the Father. And the Holy is the living of love between them. God is lonely. God is communion. God is relationship. Because we are created in the image of God. We are made to relate. ⁓ the relationship with God and with us. That is why today's are so beautiful for our call to the Maidumia, here in the parish of San Felipe. The Gospel says, in the Gospel, Jesus says, God loved the world much that He His only Son. Look at this word, given. The very nature of God is the love that is given to oneself. The Father is to the Son. The Son is given life. And the Holy Spirit is given grace in our hearts. All in all is a gift. And so begins the major monia, recognizing that all that we have is above all a gift from God. Our life is a gift. Our family is a gift. Our talents are a gift. Our faith is a gift. Our parish is a gift. Management does consist solely and primarily in collecting funds and maintaining buildings, but that is also part The greatest domain consists in reflecting the life of the Trinity. in the way we live. If God's is a generous and intriguing then the discipline means learning to live with generosity. In the first reading, Moses finds God, who is merciful, slow to get and rich in goodness. God remains faithful even when his people fail him. And that is the kind of relationship God wants with us. A relationship based on love and trust. And our parish should reflect that same spirit. The parish of St. Philip is not just a place we attend. is a spiritual a community of relationships, a reflection, a reflection of the imperfect of the Holy Trinity. That means that each one us matters. A parochial one. It life when people don't ask, what can I but what can I And that is the heart. of responsibility Some can give time, some can contribute talent, some can contribute resources, some can encourage, visit, teach, sing, organize, pray, or serve silence among background people. But each person baptized tiene algo a oferecer porque cada persona bautizada comparte la vida de la Trindán. San Pablo nos dice hoy en la segunda lectura, vive en paz y el Dios del amor y la paz estará en ustedes. Una parroquia de marmonía no se desconstruye solo con dinero. Está construido sobre la comunión, en la participación. sobre responsabilidad compartida sobre el amor. La Trindad nos enseña que el amor nunca es pasivo. El amor siempre mueve hasta fuera. El amor sirve. El amor sacrifica. El amor construe unidad. Y esto es exactamente lo que nuestro llamamiento a la mormonía en San Felipe nos invita a descubrir. No simplemente como We sustain the parish, but how can we more fully make the body of Christ together? When the faithful share generously their gifts, the parish is strengthened. The children are formed in faith. Children are baptized. The poor are cared Adoration becomes more vibrant. The ministries prosper. and people find Christ. In other words, responsibility helps to make the love of the Trinity in our community. Every time we the sign of the cross, we the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Perhaps today we can ask ourselves, look, is my life this divine of love? Am living only for myself, or am I becoming a gift for others? The Trinity teaches us that the meaning of life is the position of goods, but the love that is given to oneself. And the Eucharist that we today is the greatest school of administration. Jesus gives completely to us. Then He sends to do the same to each other. So during this season of Bayam May or Domía in San Felipe, let's only about commitments or programs. Let's about the relationship. Our relationship with God, our parochial and the mission that Christ has entrusted us I each of you to reflect on three ways to share the mission of God. First, the Maiddom in our family paroched here in San Felipe, the worship of the ministries, the formation of faith, the labor of the Canse, and the daily life of our community. And this, without a is the most important because As we say in English, keep the lights on. Keep the lights on and pay the bills. So that's first way we should think. The second way is to donate in the church in general through our support of God, recognizing that we just belong to a parish. to a family. And then, when we the Bishop, we have the opportunity to form seminarians. This summer, as we know, Dalton was with us year, and this summer, William will be with us. And things that we can't do. And there is the Bishop Appeal for the ministries. There is the help to seminarians, to the formation of new We know that there is a young man from our parish who is in process of forming a diacon. And this is the opportunity we have to help. And the third way is responsibility through global justice, taking of those are outside our immediate community, especially the poor, the suffering, and who else needs in India. Honduras, and Haiti. The question is not how much I give, but how I can reflect God's love in my life. The Trinity teaches us life finds meaning not in fearing, but in giving ourselves with love. And that is exactly what Jesus does to For us in the Eucharist, it is fully Then it teaches us to give gifts to others. So during this season in St. Philip, let us ask in prayer, How does God me to participate more fully in the life of this parish? How can my donations help build this community? How can our parish become a stronger of love and unity in the Trinity? So, for those people who are registered in our parish, last week you a flyer. Is it called a pamphlet? A pamphlet about this time we are living. And if you receive them, for those who are not registered, at end of each bank you have one in Spanish. Sorry, because we all the pamphlets in English, because with the change of system we don't know who speaks Spanish and who speaks English. So we send them all in English. But there you have them Spanish. And we invite you, for me, as a parish, this is a very complicated Because who wants talk about money? Yes no? It's a very complicated But here we are to talk once a year. We going to talk about the opportunity that we as Paroquians and as family, how can help. And we have these three ways of helping. At the local at the diocesan and at the global So what I ask each of you is that during this time that you can take in prayer and ask the Lord. And it's that have to give the same amount to each one. No. That each one can as a family think how I can and how the Lord is calling me to contribute. Of with the community's life here. And you can go online. in line, and there you have the three options. And when you there, you can make the commitment. So this week, last week you heard the video. This week I'm preaching in all the missus. And next week is the week of commitment. So I that each of you who brings the card with the commitment of your family. And if you forget about the card, no problem. We'll have more cards here so you can make your commitment. But I want each family, no matter how much, that each family asks God how much the Lord wants and how the Lord wants each of the families to contribute to that time. And then we won't talk about this anymore until We are very happy because after the ordination, Mr. Biso will send Father David here with us. So no more forzuno. He will speak Spanish with you. And these are the gifts, the graces that God gives us every day. So may our parish be a reflection of the Trinity A community rooted in the love of the Father, centered in Christ, and live in the Holy
