Prayer for Hurricane Season
O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices
of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order
and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of
land and sea. We live the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can
awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional
boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. Dur-
ing this hurricane season we turn to you, loving Father. Spare
us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and
whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time.
O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to
plead with you Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calam-
ities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of grat-
itude, we will walk in the footsteps of your divine Son to reach
heavenly Jerusalem where a stormless eternity awaits us.
Amen. Bishop Maurice Shexnayder
We are children of God, and if children, then
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.
— Romans 8:16-17

STEWARDSHIP OF THE PAST WEEK Our Response to God’s Generosity to Us
Offertory………………….$ 4,168.92 Thank you!
How should our baptism in the name of the Most Holy
Trinity, together with Jesus’ “great commission” to
make disciples and teach all he has commanded, shape the way we interact with those who form the several
communities (i.e. home, work, school, social circle)
within which we function?

Liturgical Roles for June 2012
From the Pastor’s Desk
This weekend, we celebrate the first of two rather interesting feasts that come each year with the return to Or-
dinary Time following the Feast of Pentecost. Now, while I’m at it, let me mention that Sundays in Ordinary Time are not ordinary. The word “ordinary” here doesn’t mean the opposite of extraordinary, but rather ordinary in the sense of
“counted”, as in ordinal numbers. So we have the 6th, 18th, 23rd, 31st (etc. and all in between) Sundays in Ordinary
Time. Every Sunday, which is a celebration of the Lord’s resurrection, is anything but ordinary! Which brings us back to these two feasts. Every Sunday is a celebration of the Trinity, as we at Eucharist pray
to the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit. And every Sunday is of course a celebration of the Body and Blood
of Christ, since the thanksgiving sacrifice that is Eucharist revolves around the transformation of the bread and wine
into the Body and Blood of our savior, along with the reception of Eucharist by God’s people. So when the Church gives us the Feast of the Holy Trinity and the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, she
is inviting us to reflect on and rejoice in two aspects of our faith that are present every time we gather for Mass. This
makes the most sense when seen in the light of the entire liturgical year. Any time of the year is a proper time for rec-onciliation and forgiveness of sin (particularly through confession), yet Lent is a special moment for that. We always
celebrate the resurrection of Christ, every Sunday, but Easter focuses our attention in a special way. All that we be-
lieve about Jesus begins with the Incarnation, but Christmas is a privileged time to tell the story of Christ’s birth. So this weekend, we reflect upon the great mystery that is the Trinity, a mystery we affirm every time we make
the sign of the cross. And next weekend, we will reflect upon the doctrine and the experience of the sacrament we call
the Eucharist, when we receive the Body and Blood of Christ.
The richness of our Catholic faith in almost inexhaustible. This is one reason why we speak of both Trinity and Eucharist as “mystery”. We can never totally grasp it in its simplicity and in its fullness. So we take it in smaller
chunks, sometimes emphasizing one part of God’s revelation, and at other times some other aspect of our salvation in
