T hroughout the liturgical cycle of Sun-days and seasons, there are certain

days that invite us to focus on particular aspects of our faith. Today is such a day, when we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. On this Sunday after Pentecost, we reflect on the mystery of our Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. From the moment of creation, through the encounter of Moses with God on the mountain, through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, with the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit, our under-standing and appreciation of God’s very life has unfolded and deepened. Jesus came into the world to make God’s life and love known, the love of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the love of God that brings us peace. GOD IS MERCIFUL AND GRA-CIOUS At moments in our lives we may wonder how we know who God is or what God is like. Today’s readings help us to feel se-cure in placing our faith in God and being assured of God’s unfailing love. When Moses went up the mountain as the Lord had commanded him, God powerfully described himself, “The Lord, the Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.” Jesus shows us the depths of this life of God. He came not to condemn the world but to save it. As people in relationship with

God, we often fail. We walk away from God’s ways, fall into sinfulness, and then, with the Lord’s grace, come to our senses and return. God’s words to Moses and the very life of Jesus show us that when we do so, we can still rely on God’s mercy and kindness, because love is God’s very nature. CALLED TO BE LIKE GOD We might consider this testimony to the life and love of God and think to our-selves, so what? Knowing that God loves us is reassuring, and may help us place our faith and trust in the Lord, but some-thing more naturally follows—as follow-ers of Jesus, we are called to become more like him. When others look at us, they should be able to say that we are “merciful and gracious, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.” This gets at the heart of what it means to be a Christian. Our daily decisions, words, and actions are to reflect the merciful graciousness of God. We are able to do this through the indwelling power and presence of the Holy Spirit. In what ways are you becoming more Christ-like? May the grace of the Lord, love of God, and fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you as you renew your commitment to show and share God’s kindness to others! Today’s Readings: Ex 34:4b–6, 8–9; Dn 3:52, 54, 55; 2 Cor 13:11–13; Jn 3:16–18

Cyber Scammers Targeting Archdiocesan Parishes and Schools: “Smishing” (SMS phishing) is a type of fraudulent activity that involves using SMS or text messages to trick people into giving up personal in-formation so that money can be fraudulently obtained. Perpetrators use various techniques to gain the trust of a victim and may provide specific instructions, which if followed, could result in monetary loss to the vic-tim. Perpetrators may impersonate some-one you know that is in some position of authority (a priest, teacher, manager, po-lice or government agency). If you receive such a text: take time to consider before responding; if in doubt, call the published main number of the parish, school or ad-ministrative office from whom the text claims to have been sent to authenticate the message, and; do not respond to the message if you doubt its origin.

Có một điều thường khiến các bạn trẻ băn khoăn, đó là làm sao nhận ra một tình yêu chân thực, làm sao không bị chóa mắt bởi những ảo ảnh, không bị lừa dối bởi

những ngọt ngào, để rồi vỡ mộng. Bài Tin Mừng hôm nay gợi cho ta một số tiêu chuẩn, khi mời ta nhìn vào tình yêu của Thiên Chúa. Tình yêu chân thực là tình yêu hiến trao: "Thiên Chúa đã yêu thế gian đến nỗi đã trao ban Con Một của Người..." Điều quý báu nhất của Thiên Chúa Cha là người Con Một của Ngài, Đức Giêsu Kitô. Khi trao cho chúng ta Đấng bị treo trên thập giá, Thiên Chúa đã trao cho ta chính bản thân Ngài. Ngài chấp nhận Con Ngài phải chết để nhân loại được sống. Tình yêu chân thực chẳng hề biết giữ lại cho mình. Tình yêu chân thực là tình yêu chia sẻ, tình yêu mong hạnh phúc cho người mình yêu: "... để bất cứ ai tin vào Người Con ấy thì không phải chết, nhưng được sống muôn đời." Sự sống muôn đời đã bắt đầu từ đời này. Thánh Gioan đã dám định nghĩa Thiên Chúa là Tình Yêu. Một Tình Yêu chia sẻ chan hoà giữa Ba Ngôi: Cha trao tất cả cho Con, Con dâng tất cả cho Cha. Thánh Thần là sự thông hiệp giữa Cha và Con. Thiên Chúa là tình yêu tuyệt hảo nên sự cho đi và nhận lãnh ở nơi Ba Ngôi Thiên Chúa cũng đạt đến mức tuyệt hảo. Thiên Chúa Cha trao ban cho Chúa Con tất cả những gì mình có, nên Chúa Con là hình ảnh hoàn hảo của Chúa Cha, đến nỗi Chúa Giêsu có thể nói: "Ai thấy Thầy là xem thấy Cha Thầy, Thầy và Cha là một". Vì yêu, Chúa con dâng lại cho Chúa tất cả những gì mình nhận lãnh. Việc hiến dâng này ta thấy rõ trong thái độ khiêm tốn, tự hạ, vâng phục vô biên của Chúa Giêsu đối với Chúa Cha. Chúa Giêsu đã vâng lời cho đến chết và chết trên thập giá. Chúa Giêsu đã quả quyết: "Không có tình yêu nào lớn lao hơn tình yêu của người dám hy sinh mạng sống vì bạn hữu". Và Người đã vì Chúa Cha mà hiến mạng sống. Nhưng tình yêu ở nơi con người chưa hoàn hảo vì còn chen lẫn nhiều ích kỷ, hận thù, ghen ghét. Vì thế con người còn phải thanh luyện cho tình yêu ngày càng thêm tinh tuyền, thêm quảng đại, thêm phong phú. Càng yêu thương con người càng nên giống Thiên Chúa. Càng quảng đại con người càng gần với trái tim Thiên Chúa. Càng quên mình con người càng tham dự vào sự sống Thiên Chúa. Lạy Ba Ngôi Thiên Chúa, là nguồn mạch tình yêu, là sự sống sung mãn, là thiên đàng hạnh phúc, con đã được sinh ra trong tình yêu của Chúa. Xin cho con biết sống tình yêu hy sinh theo gương Chúa Giêsu Kitô, để con được kết hợp với Chúa, sống chan hoà hạnh phúc trong tình yêu muôn đời của Chúa.

Bài đọc 1 Xh 34,4b-6.8-9 Đức Chúa! Đức Chúa! Thiên Chúa nhân hậu và từ bi. Bài đọc 2 2 Cr 13,11-13 Ân sủng của Chúa Giê-su Ki-tô, tình thương của Chúa Cha, và ơn hiệp thông của Chúa Thánh Thần. Tin Mừng Ga 3,16-18 Thiên Chúa sai Con của Người đến thế gian, để thế gian, nhờ Con của Người, mà được cứu độ.

Xin dâng lời tôn vinh chúc tụng Chúa Cha, Chúa Con và Chúa Thánh Thần là Thiên Chúa đã có, hiện có và đang đến, xin tôn vinh chúc tụng muôn đời.

H ay momentos en nuestra vida en los que po-demos preguntarnos cómo sabemos quién

es Dios o cómo es. Las lecturas de hoy nos ayu-dan a sentirnos seguros al poner nuestra fe en Dios y a estar seguros del amor constante de Dios. Cuando Moisés subió a la montaña, como le había ordenado el Señor, Dios poderosamente se expuso. “El Señor, el Señor, un Dios miseri-cordioso y compasivo, lento para enojarse y rico en misericordia y bondad”. Jesús nos muestra las profundidades de esta vida en Dios. Él no vino a condenar al mundo sino a salvarlo. Como personas en una relación con Dios, a menudo fallamos. Nos alejamos de los senderos de Dios, caemos en el pecado y luego, con la gracia de Dios, venimos a nuestros sentidos y regresamos. Las palabras de Dios a Moisés y la misma vida de Jesús nos muestran que cuando lo hacemos, todavía podemos confiar en la misericordia y bondad de Dios, porque el amor es la misma naturaleza de Dios.

LLAMADOS A SER COMO DIOS Podríamos considerar este testimonio de la vida y amor de Dios y pensar “¿y qué?” Sabiendo que Dios nos ama es alentador y nos puede ayudar a poner nuestra fe y confianza en el Señor, pero algo más naturalmente fluye, como seguidores de Jesús, se nos llama a seguir su ejemplo. Cuando otros nos miran, ellos deberían poder decir que somos “misericordiosos y bondadosos, lentos para enojarnos y ricos en amabilidad y fi-delidad”. Esto llega al corazón de lo que significa ser una persona cristiana. Nuestras decisiones de cada día, palabras y acciones reflejan la misericordia y gracia de Dios. Podemos hacer esto a través de la fuerza interna y presencia del Espíritu Santo. ¿De qué maneras te estás volvi-endo más como Cristo? ¡Qué la gracia del Señor, el amor de Dios y la comunión del Espíritu Santo estén contigo y renueven su compromiso de mostrar y compartir la bondad de Dios con los demás! Lecturas de hoy: Ex 34:4b–6, 8–9; Dn 3:52, 54, 55; 2 Cor 13:11–13; Jn 3:16–18
