My Dear Friends in Christ,

Now that we are in May many people are wondering

where the new crucifix is. I have been informed that because it is all

hand-carved, they are behind. The company from which I ordered it will try to
rush it as best they can. And so we have no choice but to wait patiently on the
Lord and His providence. As I often say nothing happens that has not been
ordained by God, if it is good, or permitted by God, if it be evil. So in God's
Divine plan, He wants us to grow in patience, as we await the completion and
arrival of our crucifix. In talking to some other priests who have ordered from
this company, they affirmed that it did take a long time, but the beauty and
quality is well worth the wait. Let us pray that we are able to say the same.
The Blessed Trinity is the perfect community of life and love. God the
Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit live eternally, love eternally and
pour out divine love and life in the world through the Body of Christ, the
Church. We learn, thus, that God the Father's love seeks to increase itself infinitely and embrace the whole
world through the passion and death of His Son, reconciling us to Him, and the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life. The people of God, then, must be people of life. God's perfect plan
provides a place for life to come into the world: the marriage of man and woman in total self-giving. The

self-donation of man and woman in the marital act brings about new life, thus marriage is
the blessed earthly sign of Christ's life-giving death on the cross that brings us new life
through redemption.

Marriage is for life. Man and woman joined in matrimony are the privileged

cooperators in God's will that life should go on. In the marital act God joins both the life-
giving and love-giving aspects of man and woman's sexuality into one reality. "What God

has joined man must not divide", thus love and life in marriage must not be divided. The two have been
brought together as one gift by God. Let us pray for all married couples that through the grace of the
sacrament they will be steadfast in being a visible sign of God in His three-fold majesty.

The feast of the Holy Trinity reminds us that every Sunday's gospel helps unfold the mystery of divine

life: in each gospel Jesus makes the Father's truth and love present in the world through the power of the
Holy Spirit. Every Sunday's Eucharist is the prayer of the church in living communion with the Risen Lord
praising the Father through the power of the Spirit. Every good work we do is to share in Christ's mission
of making the Father's truth and love present in the world because we share Christ's Spirit. And we
experience even now in faith some fulfillment of our human existence through the peace and joy of living
in the communion of divine love with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Particularly this year when many in our world seem to prefer darkness

to light, we need to celebrate the feast of the Holy Trinity with prayer of
steadfast hope. God still does love the world. And we can still come out of its
dark night to accept his only Son, whom he has given to us so that we might
have life in him. Only in his light and in his life can we enjoy peace among
ourselves and within ourselves, a peace that surpasses human understanding.

Praised Be Jesus Christ,

Fr. Pecchie

p.s. Please join us for our Corpus Christi Procession

after the 11 AM Mass next week!

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

First Reading -- Never forget the L

ORD

your

God, who brought you out of slavery and fed

you with manna in the desert (Deuteronomy

8:2-3, 14b-16a).

Psalm -- Praise the Lord, Jerusalem (Psalm

147).

Second Reading -- Because the loaf of bread

is one, we who partake of it, though we are

many, are one body (1 Corinthians 10:16-17).

Gospel -- Jesus said "I am the living bread;

whoever eats this bread will live

forever" (John 6:51-58).

How has my participation in the Eucharist

deepened my life in Jesus

through the years?

Is my life, along with the parish,

being transformed

THE INEXPRESSIBLE MYSTERY

The God of the universe is mysterious. Science has not been

able to solve the mystery of how the universe came into being or

explain exactly what continues to give it creative energy and

masterful design. No religion asserts that

it has found words to name fully the

ineffable mystery of God, for no matter

what name we use, God always transcends

our limited ability to understand. God is a

mystery to be believed, not known. And

yet, we Christians believe that our name

for God best expresses that inexpressible

mystery: God is the Most Holy Trinity of

three persons united in a communion of

love, pouring forth that creative, saving,

sanctifying love into the world. Today's

scriptures celebrate the mystery of the

Trinity and give us clues for living that

mystery in our lives.
