Pentecost Sunday "The Spirit of truth... will take from what is mine and declare it to you." Jesus says in today's Gospel that the Spirit declares something to US. We actually have a kind of share in the blessed life of the Trinity through this spiritual declaration. In particular, God gives us the gift of his truth. Traditionally, we say that God--the Blessed Trinity--is the source of all truth, beauty, and goodness. Today's reading reminds us that truth exists, that it comes from God, and that we can know it, hear it, and live according to it. "But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth." This is so important to remember in today's cultural climate. These days, the very idea of truth is a touchy subject. Because there is so much focus on tolerance and not offending anyone, we tend to shy away from discussions about "absolute" truth. Instead, we hear a lot of talk about "what's true for me" or "what's true for you." Too often we get confused about how to respect others' differing beliefs while still maintaining our own. Instead of embracing the fact that there is real truthlike, for example, the truth that God became man and was born of Mary—it is more popular to refer to "beliefs" and "traditions" and "practices," emphasizing that these things differ among people. Yes, those things differ. But truth does not change. Either Jesus is God, or he isn't. Either his claims were true or they weren't. It's not a matter of personal opinion. The Holy Spirit helps to convince us of what is really right. But we needn't fear that this will lead us to be intolerant. It is this same Spirit within us that brings the fruits of love, peace, patience, kindness, and generosity. LPI, Inc.

La Santísima Trinidad Con la solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad entramos a la segunda parte, la más grande, del tiempo ordinario. Pero antes de entrar a la normalidad de la liturgia del tiempo ordinario hay este domingo dedicado a la Santísima Trinidad. El concepto de la Trinidad es un misterio muy difícil de descifrar, pero la fe nos ayuda a comprender su dinamismo salvador. Para hablar de la Trinidad debemos de comenzar tomando la figura de Jesucristo. Y tal como sus discípulos lo vivieron en su tiempo al escuchar las enseñanzas de Jesús basadas en Dios Padre y Dios Espíritu Santo, es que podremos por lo menos ver y maravillarnos la grandeza del misterio de Dios. Comenzamos la Eucaristía, en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, lo mismo hacemos en casa al dar la bendición a nuestros hijos, al bendecir los alimentos y al comenzar nuestras labores diarias. ¿Somos conscientes al santiguarnos que afirmamos nuestra fe en la Trinidad? ¿Lo hacemos solo por costumbre? ¿Tú cuándo te santiguas? Al santiguarnos, debemos saber que este sencillo acto de fe en la Santísima Trinidad nos compromete no solo a creer en ella sino que debemos vivir de acuerdo a lo enseñado por Jesucristo. Las lecturas de hoy nos explican de diferente manera la perspectiva trinitaria: "Por mediación de nuestro Señor Jesucristo" (Rom 5, 1). Porque "Dios ha infundido su amor en nuestros corazones por medio del Espíritu Santo, que él mismo nos ha dado" (Rom 5, 5). ¡Gloria a Dios Padre, a Dios Hijo y a Dios Espíritu Santo! Como era en el principio, ahora y siempre, por los siglos de los siglos, amen. LPI, Inc.

Live the Liturgy ~ Inspiration for the week... Today the church calls us to reflect on the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. This is our ardent belief in one God who is three divine Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There is a deep intimacy that exists among the members of the Trinity that causes them to delight in one another. This intimacy of the Trinity flows over to humanity and all of creation so much so that God experiences joy in all that God has made. We are called to tell others of this Trinitarian God who delights in the goodness of the world. LPI, Inc.

Make All Souls Your Parish Home Today! Often people attend Mass at All Souls for several years, but never register. Registering here is a declaration of your desire to be part of a Catholic community and to make a commitment to the life of All Souls Church. Being a registered parishioner makes the process much easier when it is time for infant baptism, school or religious education registration, weddings, when asked to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and even funerals. A registered parishioner receives all parish mailings, too. Church law advises that territories or boundaries no longer limit parish registration. All Souls accepts anyone who wants to share in the life of the parish regardless of where they live. In order to register, you need to complete a registration card. These may be found in the narthex of the church or chapel, the parish office during the week or online at our parish website: www.allsoulssanford.org. Why not sign up today? We Love New Members! Victor, Tania, Victor, Jr. & Justin Rivera Daniel & Theresa Abate
