MSGR. MIKE’S SCHEDULE
PASTOR’S MESSAGE
For the next four (4) weeks, we will be celebrating important feasts of our faith life
called solemnities. That is the highest
grade of feast day we have in our Roman
calendar. The lowest is optional memorial,
then obligatory memorial and then feast and finally solemnity. This weekend we are celebrating the Solemnity of the
Ascension, Jesus’ return to the Father. A number of years
ago the Texas bishops chose to move this solemnity from
40 days after Easter to the Seventh Sunday of Easter. So
those of us who are older remember we use to have six (6)
Holydays. We now down to only five (5): Christmas
(December 25); Immaculate Conception (December 8);
Mary Mother of God, (January 1); Assumption (August 15)
and All Saints (November 1st). The first two are always
holydays. The latter three are NOT if they fall on a Saturday or a Monday. But I digress. Today is the Solemnity of
the Ascension. Next week is the Solemnity of Pentecost,
the 50 days of celebrating Easter comes to a conclusion.
We move back into Ordinary Time throughout the summer
and fall seasons. Next comes our name sake, The Most
Holy Trinity on May 30-31st. And our last is June 6-7 with
the Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ,
formerly Corpus Christi. Each of these solemnities accents
a different element of our Catholic faith. Earlier, we already
mentioned what the Ascension is. Pentecost celebrates
the sending of the Advocate or the Paraclete that Jesus
promised. He told the apostles and disciples He would not
leave us alone. Pentecost reminds us of the descent of the
Holy Spirit upon the apostles and upon the Church. The
Most Holy Trinity observe the reality of the Godhead in
which we believe. One God; Three Persons. We have
come to identify them as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each
Person is fully God and each Person is unique. Our last
solemnity in the sequence is The Most Holy Body and
Blood of Christ. Here we honor the reality that the Eucharist is the abiding presence – for us, the Real Presence – of
Jesus in the sacrament of His Body and Blood. Using ordinary elements – bread and wine – through the praying of
the Eucharistic Prayer at the liturgy, we believe the bread
and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ. Through
the eyes of faith, we experience this change. That is why
we are called to say “Amen” after the invitations – The
Body of Christ or The Blood of Christ – as an expression of
our belief that the bread and wine are now the Real Presence of Christ. Saying “Amen” let’s the communicant and
the minister of communion know that this act of faith has
taken place. “Amen” – Yes, I believe this is the Body of
Christ. Yes, I believe this is the Blood of Christ. Once
these four solemnities have been proclaimed, we revert
back to the Ordinary Time for Sundays.

THE DIVINE MERCY WEEKLY MESSAGE
MENSAJE SEMANAL DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA
Mayo 1 1937. Hoy sentí la cercania de mi Madre, la Madre Celestial. Antes de cada Santa Comunión, ruego fervorosamente a la Madre de Dios que me ayude a preparar
mi alma para la llegada de Su Hijo y siento claramente su
proteccion sobre mi. Le ruego mucho que se digne incendiar en mi el fuego del amor divino con el ardia su puro
corazón en el momento de la Encarnación del Verbo de
Dios
May 1, 1937. Today I felt the nearness of my Mother,
my heavenly Mother, although before every Holy
Communion I earnestly ask the Mother of God to help
me prepare my soul for the coming of Her Son, and I
clearly feel Her protection over me. I entreat Her to be
so gracious as to enkindle in me the fire of God's love,
such as burned in Her own pure heart at the time of
the Incarnation of the Word of God.

An Invitation to Be a Part of our Stephen Ministry
Our Stephen Ministers are here to help those in
our parish who are caring a burden that seems
overwhelming. They don’t just provide care for
people experiencing a major crisis. They also
provide care and support for people weighed
down by the little things in life. We invite each
of you to be part of that Stephen Ministry at Holy Trinity.
We ask that you be ministers of referral, watching for people in
need and suggesting a Stephen Minister's care. Let others in the
parish know about the Stephen Ministry program and the valuable tool it can be for someone in crisis. If you are in need of a
Stephen Minister yourself, reach out. God does not ask that we
carry our load alone. He has given us one another to help.
We ask too that you pray for all of our Stephen Ministers and
Stephen Leaders, asking for God's blessings and the Spirit's wisdom and power in this ministry. The assurance of your prayers
and appreciation will help us through times when we may feel
tired, discouraged, or convinced that we are not accomplished
anything.
To learn more about what Stephen Ministry is and what it
can do for you or someone you know, talk to one of our
Stephen Leaders:
Jerry Krimbill, 392-0602 or Pam Hughes, 394-5723
or email Pam at [email protected].
Our Stephen Ministers are ready to care for you!
With Gratitude and Thanksgiving
Carol Short would like to thank all the parish for your prayers.
The prayers, cards, and messages filled my heart with gratitude
and made the surgery and recovery so much easier. I will be on
restrictions until June 8, 2015, but all is going very well. Sincere
gratitude for your love and prayers.

Needs More Handmaids of the Lord
The Altar Guild needs more parishioners to ensure
that the Holy Trinity masses and the Blessed Sacrament Chapel are “pleasing in His eyes”. Help is needed and the

washes over 90 communion linens every week. We ensure the
Blessed Sacrament Chapel, the main Altar, the offertory table, and
the credence table is dressed with clean linens. Help washing the
communion vessels and ensuring the Sanctuary candle is full during adoration times are other duties. We have also added the duties
of decorating the Church and Altar for liturgical seasons and special Masses.
“Do not be afraid”
if you desire to become a member as the Lord’s handmaidens.

you may have.

complete a regular training session and a criminal background
check. Both trainings are good for a 3-year period. In order to
accommodate both groups with the needed trainings, the following schedule has been developed for the rest of 2015. Unless otherwise announced, all trainings will be conducted in the Family
Room in the parish Banquet Hall. Directions will be posted in the

Reflection ~ Why Me?
"Why me?," was the question I posed to my brother when I
broke the news to him about my impending divorce. I was not
a perfect spouse, but I was completely committed to my marriage--for life. I really tried so hard to be a loving and faithful
spouse. So, why did my marriage end up in the trash heap?
Where did I go wrong? What could I have done differently?
Where the heck was God in all of this mess?
I wrestled mightily with those, and many other questions, as my
divorce moved toward its fateful conclusion. I kept replaying my
marriage over and over in my mind searching for answers, trying
to identify that one domino that caused the rest to fall. I kept
going in circles, getting nowhere. I brought my struggle to my
counselor, and she helped me understand the concept of free
will. She explained that God gives each of us free will as a gift.
It is what makes us fully human. Without it, we are simply puppets on God's string, never fully accountable for our actions. God
loves us so much that He sets us free to make our own choices.
He lovingly hopes that we use this free will to choose to love
Him in return. Sometimes we do, and too often we don't.
Our spouses have free will as well, and sometimes they use it in
ways that are very hurtful to us and our marriage. Try as we
might, we can't control them. So, while we each play a part in
the success or failure of our marriage, we can't control how our
spouse chooses to use their free will. They very well could have
been the one to push the first domino down, and there was nothing we could have done to stop it. Free will can be used for great
good, or for great harm--even the destruction of a marriage. Remember that. Divorce hurts God's heart more than it does ours.
Yet, He will usually not step in and violate our free will, even if
it means saving the marriage. All we can ever do is use our free
will to love God and others as well, and pray that other people do
the same. One day we will all be held accountable for how wisely we used our free will. Choose well!
His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful
servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will
give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's
joy.' - Matthew 25:21

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Each week we offer a question for
further reflection by our parishioners.
The encouragement is for everyone to
ponder that question or to dialogue in
your family prayer time, over the particular question. Begin with prayer
and then have someone pose the question. Listen with
respect to those who respond and close with another
short prayer, perhaps the Lord’s Prayer.
This week’s question is:
Relate a time when someone has gone away
From you. How did you feel? What do you do?
How did you deal with it?
Relate cuando alguien se fué de su lado.
Como se sintió? Que haces?
Como lo resolviste?
we invite You to be a part of Life Teen
every Sunday!
We meet Sunday nights following the Lifeteen mass.
Dinner is served in the Tyler Peltier Gathering Area of the Faith
Formation Building with a night of meeting new friends and
growing in the Catholic Faith.

Catholic Relief Services
is accepting donations for Nepal
I am sure you are aware of the tragic earthquake in Nepal. Miracles are happening and lives are still being saved, but those moments of grace are surrounded by sadness. Literally thousands
have died and for those have been spared the bare necessities of
life, food, shelter, clothing, medical care, etc. are scarce in this
ravaged land.
When these terrible disasters occur, the need to help is awakened
in the hearts of our people as they seek a way to reach out with
compassion and mercy.
Catholic Relief Services is accepting donations and has already
begun to mobilize its outreach to Nepal. CRS and their partner
Caritas Nepal plan to support 10,000 families with emergency
shelter, blankets, water treatment kits and hygiene kits. Because
this region is known for earthquakes, CRS had prepositioned emergency aid in nearby Bihar, India. Temporary shelter kits, water
purification kits and hygiene kits for 2,000 families are being
transported to Nepal for immediate distribution.
If you wish to donate directly to the CRS website:
www.crs.org and click on “Donate Now”.
You will be able to donate directly online.
