From June 10-17, I am on my Canonical Retreat, a time each year a priest attends to spiritually recharge. This weekend, please welcome Fr. Dennis Hanneman, a retired priest from the Archdiocese of Omaha. This weekend, we celebrate the solemnity of The Most Holy Trinity, which honors the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The early Church believed in the Trinity from the very beginning, but it was formally stated at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D. (which we profess at Sunday Mass) because heresies arose from people believing that Jesus was only a man or was created by God. All persons in the Trinity have always existed without beginning and are of equal power. This can be hard for us to fathom, but some theologians such as Justin, Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, to name a few, have helped us understand this mystery a little better. We wish all of our fathers a HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! As a father, you are the source of your child’s existence. You are their provider. You are their teacher. You love them unconditionally. All these qualities are found in our Heavenly Father who has passed them on to you to carry out to the best of your ability.
Blessings,
Simon House balers for June 21: Jerry Duran & Rich Wolpert

La Trinidad, Modelo para la Vida Cristiana Padre Jairo Congote
A algunos de nosotros, la Trinidad nos trae a la mente la histo-ria de san Patricio al convertir a los irlandeses mostrándoles una hoja de trébol preguntándoles si era una sola hoja o eran tres a la vez. A otros la Trinidad les hace recordar a San Agustín, quien antes de escribir su Tratado sobre la Trinidad, acostumbrada a pasear meditando por la playa; allí vio a un niño que había hecho un hoyo, pretendiendo meter toda el agua del mar en el hoyo que había hecho. El niño -un ángel- le dijo que era más absurdo el pretender meter o entender el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad en su cabeza. Antiguamente, se ponía el énfasis sobre la Trinidad como un misterio muy lejano pero después del Concilio Vaticano Segun-do, se ha pasado a mirar a la Santísima Trinidad mucho más co-mo un modelo para la vida cristiana. La trinidad no es algo sim-plemente incomprensible, sino algo que hay que asimilar y hacer parte de la vida cristiana. Las relaciones entre las tres Personas de la Trinidad deberán ser el modelo para las relaciones vitales que deben existir en la familia, en la sociedad y especialmente en la Iglesia. Cada persona Divina habla de las demás en los términos más positivos y sagrados. El Padre dice que hay que escuchar a su Hijo, el muy amado. El Hijo, Jesús, presenta su doctrina y sus milagros como algo que ha recibido del Padre, Jesús anuncia a sus discípulos que lo que ellos no entienden, lo entenderán luego cuando reciban al Espíritu Santo quien será su mejor maestro y los llevará a la plenitud de la verdad, El Espíritu vendrá a dar testimonio en favor de Jesús. ¡Que hermoso sería si nosotros ha-bláramos de los demás en términos tan positivos! Creemos que en Dios hay tres Personas distintas y diferentes que viven en unión y comunión total y que las tres son iguales en gloria y ma-jestad, por lo cual todas las personas de la Trinidad reciben la misma adoración y la misma gloria. En la familia, en la sociedad y en la Iglesia, estamos llamados a imitar lo que profesamos creer de las Personas Divinas. Estamos llamados a respetar y apreciar las distinciones y dife-rencias entre las personas humanas, sin negarlas ni excluirlas. Los hijos no necesitan ser como sus papas, ni las hijas como sus mamas; las mujeres no necesitan ser como los hombres. Las dife-rencias enriquecen y hacen muy hermosa la humanidad. Como las Personas Divinas, tenemos que mirarnos unos a otros como iguales, sin sentirnos superiores a los demás. El ma-yor título de honor que una personas puede tener es el de ser Hijo o Hija de Dios. Fuimos consagrados en el bautismo y somos par-te de la familia de Dios. Los títulos que da el mundo palidecen cuando se comparan con nuestro título que nos viene de Dios. Todas las personas merecen honor y respeto, especialmente las que pertenecen a nuestra misma familia de fe. En este mundo todos somos pecadores y cuando veamos que una persona cae o falla en algo, no estamos llamados a criticar sino a extender una mano que le ayude a volver al buen camino. Oremos en esta fiesta de la Santísima Trinidad para que las diversas maneras en las que Dios ha escogido revelarse a su Igle-sia nos sirvan de inspiración y guía para nuestra vida cristiana. Esto es precisamente lo que ha buscado y deseado siempre la Iglesia. Démosle a nuestro prójimo pues nuestro testimonio de la Santísima Trinidad en nuestras vidas.
