Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 15, 2012 Pastor’s Weekly Message: Decimoquinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 15 de Juliode 2012 Mensaje del Párroco: First of all, a huge “thank you” to Norma, Beth, and all the catechists and volunteers who made Vacation Bible School a reality this year! I think this is such a great way to learn: when you are enjoying yourself and having a good time, it’s so easy for knowledge to enter in. I hope and pray that they continue to grow in love and knowledge of God and all his creation. My sympathies go out to the family of Viola Lander, who faithfully served the parish for over twenty years, in various capacities: she was cook and housekeeper, then secretary/bookkeeper, and in later years worked at St. Thomas Center, both as a paid employee and a volunteer. She will be missed. I pray that God has already welcomed her into his arms in the heavenly banquet. And, me: By the time you are reading this I will have begun training as part of the Christian Peacemaker Teams. Since this training lasts a significant time, I will not be serving on a team later this year. I want to assure you all that I remain deeply committed to each of you, who are Most Holy Trinity. It is my firm belief that this training and my commitment to concrete justice work will enrich my ministry in the parish, and be a factor of growth for all of us. Know that you will all be in my daily prayer during this time. In the next weeks, I will be writing about CPT itself and what I am experiencing in training. And, during my absence, we are privileged to have Fr. Leo Reilly, CSB, with us. Fr. Leo was for many years at St. Anne’s parish in Detroit, where the Basilians served for 126 years, until a few weeks ago. Fr. Leo has taken up residence at our retirement house in Toronto, and generously offered to cover for me during my absence. ¡Primero que todo, un enorme “gracias" a Norma, a Beth, y a todas las catequistas y voluntarios que hicieron realidad la Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones este año! Creo que esta es una gran manera de aprender: cuando se está disfrutando y pasándola bien, es más fácil que el conocimiento entre. Espero y rezo para que ellos sigan creciendo en el amor y el conocimiento de Dios y toda su creación. Mis condolencias a la familia de Viola Lander, quien sirvió fielmente a la parroquia por más de veinte años, en varias maneras: fue cocinera y ama de llaves, después fue secretaria / contadora, y en los últimos años trabajó en el Centro de Santo Tomás, como voluntaria y como empleada asalariada. Se le va a extrañar. Mi plegaria es que Dios ya la haya acogido en sus brazos en el banquete celestial. Y yo: Para cuando estén leyendo esta ya habré empezado el entrenamiento como parte de los Equipos Cristianos de Acción por la Paz (CPT). Debido a que este entrenamiento dura un lapso de tiempo significativo, no voy a formar parte de un equipo a finales de este año. Quiero asegurarles a todos que me mantengo profundamente comprometido con cada uno de ustedes, que son la Santísima Trinidad. Creo firmemente que este entrenamiento, y mi compromiso de trabajo concreto por la justicia, va a enriquecer mi ministerio en la parroquia, y será un factor de crecimiento para todos nosotros. Sepan que todos estarán en mis oraciones diarias durante este tiempo. En las próximas semanas, voy a escribir sobre el CPT mismo y lo que estoy experimentando en el entrenamiento. Y, durante mi ausencia, tenemos el privilegio de tener con nosotros al Padre. Leo Reilly, CSB. El Padre Leo estuvo durante muchos años en la parroquia de Santa Ana en Detroit, donde los Basilianos sirvieron durante 126 años, hasta hace unas semanas. El Padre Leo se ha instalado en nuestra casa de retiro en Toronto, y se ofreció generosamente a cubrir por mí durante mi ausencia. May the God of peace fill you with grace and life always. Que el Dios de paz los llene de gracia y de vida siempre. Newly or Nearly Engaged? If you are planning or thinking about the possibility of getting married at Most Holy Trinity in the next year, plan now to attend an informational meeting on TODAY in our parish Hyeck Hall from 6-7:30 p.m. Topics to be covered include: Marriage as Sacrament; Music Guidelines; Liturgy of the Wedding; and an introduction to the preparation process. Speakers include the couples on the marriage team, music director Tim Dyksinski, and wedding facilitator Elva Guiterrez. This meeting will answer many of your questions from….. "Why get married in the church?" to "Why do we need to be prepared?" and "What flowers do we need?" TODAY at 6:00. See you there! Gospel Reflection for fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 15, 2012 Reflexión sobre el Evangelio para el Decimoquinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 15 de Julio de 2012 This past week, I had the privilege of spending four days at the University of Notre Dame where I met with twelve young adults who are students in ECHO, ND’s graduate study program for catechetical leadership. During this gathering, my role as a mentor in the program, along with their academic professors and advisors, was to assist in preparing these young people for apprenticeship in church ministry. In just a few short weeks, these students will be sent out in small groups to four main dioceses across the country, where they will work for the next two years. For most, it will be their first work/ministry experience in the real world, and the first time they will be a long way from home and family. None of them know exactly what to expect. When I asked them how they felt about this, they all expressed feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and fear, but also honor, humility, and overwhelming excitement because of all the things they expect to learn and people they will meet. When I asked why they wanted to be part of ECHO, their general response was, “I felt called”. I find it admirable that these students are willing to risk the security and comfort of their family, homes, academic environment, etc. to venture into the world to answer God’s call—and like most college kids, with little more than a “walking stick” and “sandals”. In a sense, ECHO prepares students, just as Jesus prepared “the twelve” in today’s gospel. He sends them out, two by two, and gives them authority to continue his works. They, too, were to leave the security of their home, jobs, family, and teacher (Jesus) to go into the world, and, like the prophet Amos, in today’s first reading, they too, were probably the most unlikely people to be entrusted with proclaiming the word. They knew not what to expect, nor how they would be received by the people would they meet. But Jesus takes the time to mentor, to form and prepare them before he sent them into the world, and His final instructions, as given in today’s gospel, speak clearly of the only essential thing necessary to take with them, TRUST in GOD! Like the first twelve, like the ECHO students, like Amos, we too, are often sent into the world to speak the truth, and often, we least expect to be the one’s people will listen to. This is not always easy, and sometimes even fearful. But, as Paul reminds us in today’s second reading, each of us have been “chosen” by God in Christ. We are his “possession”, “destined and promised the Holy Spirit ”to“ exist for the praise of his glory.” So, as people who believe, when our comfort zone is shaken, when we are “sent out” to where we least want to go, when we think no one will listen, let us remember we need simply, to trust in God. La semana pasada, tuve el privilegio de pasar cuatro días en la Universidad de Notre Dame (ND), donde me reuní con doce jóvenes estudiantes de ECHO, programa de estudios de postgrado de ND para el liderazgo catequético. Durante este encuentro, mi papel como mentor en el programa, junto con sus profesores y asesores académicos, fue de ayudar a preparar a estos jóvenes para el aprendizaje en el ministerio de la iglesia. En sólo unas pocas semanas, estos estudiantes serán enviados, en pequeños grupos, a cuatro diócesis principales en todo el país, donde trabajarán durante los próximos dos años. Para la mayoría, esto será su primera experiencia de labor / ministerio en el mundo real, y la primera vez que estarán lejos de su casa y su familia. Ninguno de ellos sabe exactamente qué esperar. Cuando les pregunté cómo se sentían sobre esto, todos expresaron sentimientos de nerviosismo, ansiedad y miedo, pero también de honor, humildad, y emoción abrumadora por todas las cosas que esperan aprender y la gente que van a conocer. Cuando pregunté por qué querían ser parte de ECHO, la respuesta general fue: “Me sentí llamado”. Me parece admirable que estos estudiantes están dispuestos a arriesgar la seguridad y la comodidad de su familia, hogares, ámbito académico, etc., para aventurarse en el mundo respondiendo al llamado de Dios – y al igual que la mayoría de los chicos de universidad, con poco más que un “bastón” y “sandalias.” En cierto sentido ECHO prepara a los estudiantes al igual que Jesús preparó a “los Doce” en el evangelio de hoy. Él les envía de dos en dos, y les da autoridad para continuar su obra. Ellos también iban a dejar la seguridad de su hogar, trabajo, familia, y maestro (Jesús) para entrar en el mundo y, al igual que el profeta Amós en la primera lectura de hoy, también ellos probablemente fueron las personas menos adecuadas para confiarles la proclamación de la palabra. No sabían qué esperar, ni cómo serían recibidos por las personas que se encontraran. Pero Jesús toma tiempo para guiarlos, formarlos y prepararlos antes de enviarlos al mundo y Sus últimas instrucciones, indicadas en el evangelio de hoy, hablar claramente de la única cosa esencial y necesaria para llevar con ellos, ¡CONFIANZA en DIOS! Como los primeros doce, como los estudiantes de ECHO, como Amós, nosotros también frecuentemente somos enviados al mundo para decir la verdad y, frecuentemente, no esperamos ser nosotros a los que la gente va a escuchar. Esto no siempre es fácil, ya veces llena de temor. Pero, como Pablo nos recuerda en la segunda lectura de hoy, cada uno de nosotros hemos sido “elegidos” por Dios en Cristo. Somos su “posesión”, “destinados y con el Espíritu Santo prometido” a “existir para alabarlo y glorificarlo.” Así que, como personas creyentes, cuando nuestra zona de confort sea sacudida, cuando seamos “enviados” a donde menos queremos ir, cuando pensemos que nadie nos va a escuchar, recordemos que simplemente necesitamos confiar en Dios. - Cheryl Scott - Cheryl Scott Attention All 2011-2012 Altar Servers: In honor of your dedicated service to Most Holy Trinity as Altar Server, you are invited to a ministry appreciation day: WHAT: Astros Baseball; vs. Pittsburgh Pirates WHERE: Minute Maid Park, Houston WHEN: Friday, July 27, 2012 GAME TIME: 7:05 p.m. We will meet at church at 4:30 p.m. and leave at 5:00 p.m. Ice-cream Social & Meeting For all “ AYC ” ARCHDIOCESAN YOUTH CONFERENCE Participants Wednesday July 18 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. SB Hall Make Plans to Attend!

Try running a RACE instead. Nagging and whining usually happen because the child or parent doesn’t do what’s wanted. Let the consequence be the reminder. Watch for the R-A-C-E steps to reduce nagging in your home over the next four Parenting Pointers. ***Instead of NAGGING, run a R-A-C-E. (Part 4) E – Enforce/Evaluate. Once you and your child have agreed upon a consequence, no (or few) words need be spoken. If the consequence requires your enforcement you must calmly follow through. If the negative behavior continues, evaluate together whether a different consequence would be more effective.

Trate de correr una carrera en su lugar. Las quejas y lloriqueos por lo general ocurren porque el niño o el padre no hace lo que ha querido. Deje que la consecuencia sea el recordatorio. Esté atento a los pasos para reducir las molestias RACE en su hogar durante los próximos cuatro puntos para padres. En vez de regañar, ejecutar un R-A-C-E. (Parte 4) E - Esforzar / Evaluar. Una vez que usted y su hijo han acordado en una consecuencia, ya no necesita ser hablado (y si acaso muy poco). Si la consecuencia requiere de su esfuerzo, usted debe seguir con tranquilidad.
