Collection for RETIRED RELIGIOUS: Next weekend we will take up our annual collection for the Religious Retirement Fund. Religious Sisters and Brothers who have so many years served in the education, health care, and social ministries of the church need our help. The stipends being earned by the members of our religious communities who are still actively engages in ministry are no longer enough to support the elderly members of their religious communities. The number of elderly Religious in assisted living or nursing facilities continue to rise as do the costs for these facilities. For the past 30 years the Diocese of Rockville Centre has been committed to return a portion of our financial resources to our religious who have served the diocese in so many ways throughout the years. Please be generous in the second collection next weekend. COMMUNITY Dear Friends, This weekend we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. It is a beautiful feast! It invites us to prayerfully reflect on the mystery of the Holy Trinity and consider our connectedness with the Trinity. The readings today are not about the doctrine of the Trinity, but rather about the experience of the Trinity that fills our lives. It’s about relationships. The Trinity is not foremost a doctrine, rather it is how the Divine has been experienced throughout the ages. In the reading from Deuteronomy there is a sense of awe at all that God has done among the people. In Romans Paul expresses the complementary relationship between God and May 31, 2015 Jesus and the Spirit. Paul proclaims that every believer participates in this dynamic and living relationship. All share in the life of the Trinity. The gospel this weekend comes from Matthew. It is the “Great Commission,” the command to go forth and proclaim the gospel message to all the nations. Those who are sent are called into relationship with the Trinity, so that they will be able to proclaim the message with sincerity and authenticity. The disciples are gathered in Galilee in the presence of the Risen Lord. They are invited to go forth and proclaim the gospel. They have come to a new horizon, they have come to a new threshold of possibilities. They are caught up in the power of Trinitarian love and this love will transform their lives and fill them with a new wisdom and understanding. It will lead them to places they never imagined. It will fill them with a love that will overcome their fears and limitations. My dear friends, on this Feast of the Holy Trinity we are also invited like Israelites in the first reading today to be filled with a sense of awe at all the wondrous things that our God has done, we are called like Paul to grasp that we each share in the very life of God and like the disciples we are sent forth to proclaim the gospel message to all creation. We are invited to share in the mystery of Trinitarian love which brings forth new life in every age. Page |4 for all our High School graduates and their families in the backyard of the rectory.

May 31, 2015 Living Stewardship We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who recognize that life is a gift from God and a sacred trust. “What are you going to do today with your gift of life? UN MENSAJE DE NUESTRO PARROCO Queridos Amigos, Este fin de semana se celebra la fiesta de la Santísima Trinidad. Es una fiesta bella. Nos invita a reflexionar en oración sobre el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad y a considerar nuestra conexión con la Trinidad. Las lecturas de hoy no tratan la doctrina de la Trinidad, sino la experiencia de la Trinidad que llena nuestras vidas. Tratan el tema de relaciones. La Trinidad no es principalmente una doctrina, sino se refiere a cómo lo Divino ha estado experimentado a lo largo de los siglos. En la lectura de Deuteronomio hay una sensación de asombro ante todo lo que Dios ha hecho en el pueblo. En Romanos Pablo expresa la relación complementaria entre Dios y Jesús y el Espíritu. Pablo proclama que cada creyente participa en esta relación dinámica y viva. Todos comparten en la vida de la Trinidad. El evangelio de este fin de semana está tomado del evangelio según Mateo. Es la historia de la "Gran Comisión", la orden de salir y proclamar el mensaje del evangelio a todas las naciones. Los enviados están llamados a entrar en una relación con la Trinidad, para que puedan proclamar el mensaje con sinceridad y autenticidad. Los discípulos están reunidos en Galilea en la presencia del Señor resucitado. Son invitados a salir Page |5 y proclamar el evangelio. Han llegado a un nuevo horizonte, han llegado a un nuevo umbral de posibilidades. Están metidos en el poder del amor trinitario y este amor transformará sus vidas y llenarlos con una nueva sabiduría y entendimiento. Este amor les llevará a lugares que nunca imaginaron. Los llenará con un amor que va a superar sus miedos y limitaciones. Mis queridos amigos, en esta fiesta de la Santísima Trinidad también nosotros estamos invitados, como los israelitas en la primera lectura de hoy, para que estemos llenados de una sensación de asombro ante todas las maravillas que ha hecho nuestro Dios. Estamos llamados, como Pablo, a captar que cada uno de nosotros comparte la vida misma de Dios y, como los discípulos, somos enviados a proclamar el mensaje del evangelio a toda la creación. Somos invitados a participar en el misterio del amor trinitario que da a luz una nueva vida en cada época. Que esta fiesta de la Santísima Trinidad nos llene a cada uno de nosotros con asombro y admiración. Que nos llene con un amor que nos envía cada día para proclamar el mensaje del evangelio.

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another." Galatians 5:22-26 St. Philip Neri St. Philip Neri (1515–1595) was born in Florence, Italy, a cheerful and dutiful child popular with all who knew him. At the age of 18 he was set up to become a businessman, but, after having a mystical experience, his life was radically changed. He left for Rome and entrusted himself to God's providence. He found a place to live with a fellow Florentine in exchange for Philip educating his sons, which he did with great skill. He lived a life of asceticism and took philosophy and theology classes at a local monastery, which, even though excelling, he quit suddenly to spiritually serve the people of Rome. Indifference, luxury, and corruption were widespread characteristics of the Romanof clergy. Churches were neglected, flocks author several books were abandoned, and loss of faith was widespread. St. Philip Neri was a contradiction to all of this malaise, and with his joyfulness lead many to a life of virtue and love for God as he traveled through the streets of Rome. He began an oratory for laymen to gather and practice spiritual discipline, which grew and became famous. In obedience to his spiritual director he eventually became a priest at the age of 34, also later starting a religious order. St. Philip Neri is known as the "Apostle of Rome". He is patron of the United States Army Special Forces. His feast day is May 26. Family Owned & Operated Since 1905 AUSTIN F. KNOWLES, INC. 767-0123 516-883-2159 Martha M. Knowles, Lic.
