Because Jesus is the Son of God, he is the best way to know God. So believing in Jesus is not just believing that he exists. We believe in a Person who loves us and showed us that God is our Father. He gives us life and protects us; he supports us and also lets us learn from our mistakes. Then he forgives us, showing that he loves us even when we turn away from him. So if we truly believe in Jesus we follow his commandment of love, because we love him so much we want to be just like him. We help others, not to make us look good, but to show them how good God is. So you cannot truly believe in Jesus without wanting to help others to know and love him too. Jesus' way of saying that in today's gospel was to take up our cross and follow him. That is truly a work of faith. Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

FAITH OR WORKS? Sometimes we think the argument of faith vs.
works started with the Reformation. But the second reading shows that it was already being debated in New Testament times. The simplified version of the debate has the Reformers saying that faith alone is all we need to be saved, while the Catholic side says we have to do good to be saved. Actually, they are both right. The idea of works being necessary for salvation probably goes back to the Old Covenant emphasis on the law and the commandments. They believed that their religious practices set them apart from the pagans around them.
Then Jesus came to show that only God is Holy. Our holiness comes from loving God and loving others. Because Jesus is the Son of God, he is the best way to know God. So believing in Jesus is not just believing that he exists. We believe in a Person who loves us and showed us that God is our Father. He gives us life and protects us; he supports us and also lets us learn from our mistakes. Then he forgives us, showing that he loves us even when we turn away from him.
So if we truly believe in Jesus we follow his commandment of love, because we love him so much we want to be just like him. We help others, not to make us look good, but to show them how good God is.

LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY El primer renglón de la primera lectura de hoy del profeta Isaías parece recoger los temas de las lecturas de la semana pasada. Isaías dice: "El Señor Dios me ha hecho oír sus palabras". Al abrir nuestro corazón para oír la palabra de Dios hoy preparémonos para contestar la pregunta que Jesús le hace a sus discípulos: "¿Quién dice la gente que soy yo?" Todos nosotros hemos experimentado la presencia del Señor Jesús en nuestra vida. ¿En qué momento el Señor Jesús se convirtió para ti en tu Señor y Salvador? Muy a menudo pensamos que esta pregunta es apropiada sólo para los cristianos evangélicos y hasta nos sentimos incómodos con esa clase de pregunta. Sin embargo, esa pregunta y su respuesta son centrales para nosotros los discípulos de Cristo. Hazle una invitación al Señor para que entre en tu corazón de maneras nuevas, según te inspiren las Escrituras que se proclaman hoy. Considera la pregunta del Señor antes de la Misa y sitúate dentro del círculo de discípulos de Cristo mientras se proclama el pasaje del Evangelio según san Marcos.

FROM THE PASTOR/NOTAS DEL PARROCO
Dear Parishioners,
This weekend we here at Most Holy Trinity begin a new phase of evangelization: Stewardship. Stewardship is the heart of our call as disciples of Jesus. It has three phases: time, talent and treasure. We begin phase one today asking that each member of our parish dedicate a time commitment of six minutes a day to prayer. Six minutes is not very long but experienced as a commitment, we move our hearts closer and closer to that of Jesus. Only through prayer can we lay the foundation leading to genuine discipleship.
To assist you in this process we are offering a copy of the “The Little Burgundy Book: Six-minute reflections on Stewardship in light of the Gospel of Mark.” Perhaps you remember these from last Advent and Lent. We have allotted one copy per family and since each copy does have a small cost, please do not take one unless you commit yourself to using it. The following phases will follow in the next two months. But before sharing one’s talent and treasure comes a commitment to daily prayer. So, pray each day to be open to God’s spirit of love, service and commitment.
Fr. Bob
Queridos Feligreses, Esta semana aquí nosotros en Santísima Trinidad comenzamos una nueva faceta de evangelización: Administradores. Ser administradores es el Corazón de nuestro llamado a ser discípulos de Jesús. Tiene tres facetas: tiempo, talento y tesoro. Comenzaremos con la faceta número uno hoy pidiendo que cada feligrés de nuestra parroquia se comprometa a dedicar un tiempo de seis minutos al día para orar. Seis minutos no es mucho tiempo pero es una experiencia como compromiso, movemos nuestros corazones más y más cerca de Jesús. Solo por medio de la oración podemos hacer la base que nos guiara a ser unos auténticos discípulos. Para ayudarlos en el proceso le estamos ofreciendo una copia de “El Librito de Color Burgandi: seis minutos de reflexiones en ser administradores a la luz del Evangelio de Marcos.” Talvez los recordara del Adviento pasado y la Cuaresma. Hemos reservado una copia por familia ya que cada copia tiene un costo pequeño, por favor no lo tome a menos que este comprometido a usarlo. Las siguientes facetas vienen en los próximos dos meses. Pero antes de compartir los talentos y tesoros de cada quien tiene que haber un compromiso de oración diaria. Entonces, ore cada día para abrirse al espíritu del amor de Dios, servicio y compromiso. P. Roberto Wedding & Quinceanera Coordinator
