Dear Parishioners, Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday, a day on which we reflect on this most awesome of divine mysteries, on the glimpse given to us into God’s very Self. This great truth transcends the ability of our minds to fully comprehend, transcends the ability of human language to communicate. St. Pope John Paul II expresses this same sense of the overwhelming reality of the Blessed Trinity...

Dear Parishioners, Peace and joy be with you all on this great Solemnity of Pentecost! I recently came across a quote about Pentecost that I wanted to share with you. It was penned by a twelfth century poet and composer of hymns, Adam of St. Victor. It is taken from his work Lux jucunda lux insignis...

Dear Parishioners, The figure of Abraham is presented to us in the First Reading on this Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Abraham gives hospitality to three strangers that show up at his camp. Unbeknownst to Abraham, these were messengers from God. Abraham blessed them by his hospitality – in turn, Abraham and Sarah we blessed far more abundantly as a result.

Pope Francis has established throughout the Church the celebration of the World Day for Grandparents and Elderly on the fourth Sunday of July (July 24), near the liturgical memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus. The theme for this year's celebration is “In Old Age They Will Still Bear Fruit” (Ps. 92:15). The theme is meant to emphasize how grandparents are a gift both to society and the Church. This year, Pope Francis is also extending the opportunity for a plenary indulgence “to the faithful who devote adequate time to visit, in presence or virtually, through the media, their elderly brothers and sisters in need or in difficulty” on July 24. We will have a special blessing for all grandparents present at Masses this day.

Dear Parishioners, On this Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we hear three powerful Scriptures. In the First Reading taken from the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses urges the people to heed the voice of the Lord, to live by God’s law, which he tells them is “something very near to you, already in your mouths and in your hearts.” In the Gospel, we hear Jesus specifying that the very core of that divine law is love, love of God and of neighbor. When asked “Who is my neighbor?” he responds with one of the most loved of all his parables, that of the Good Samaritan. In the Second Reading, St. Paul speaks of the preeminence of Jesus, “the image of the invisible God” – the one who “is before all things” and in whom “all things hold together.” Jesus is the one who reveals the wisdom of God and meaning of all creation.

This Sunday is extraordinary for several reasons. For us, it is extraordinary because as a nation tomorrow we celebrate our Independence and what better way to celebrate the birth of our great nation than by offering up our prayers for all that God has given us and continues to give us. Despite what the past several years have put us through, our nation and community with the help of God have been sources of comfort and solace.
