TRINITY INTO YOUR BRAIN
A story is told about St. Augustine, one of the great
theologians of the Church, who one day was walking on
the beach contemplating the mystery of the Trinity. He
came upon a boy who was digging a hole in the sand.
The boy was pouring water from the sea into the hole.
When St. Augustine asked him what he was doing, the
lad explained, “I’m going to pour the ocean into this
hole.”

“That’s impossible,” St. Augustine declared. “The
whole ocean will not fit in the hole you have
made.” The bad-mannered boy replied, “And you
cannot fit the Trinity into your tiny little brain.”
The legend then says the boy vanished, leaving St.
Augustine to wonder if he had been talking to an
angel.

FATHER’S DAY MASS
REMEMBRANCE
We will celebrate a special
Novena of Masses for all
fathers (living or deceased),
starting this Sunday 15th, Father’s Day. If you
want the name of your father to be included in
the Intention of Masses, please use the special
envelopes you received by mail or pick one up at
the entrance of the church, and bring them this
Sunday, June 15th.
THE CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION
ON JUNE 22, 2014
At St. Agnes, we have the
cherished tradition of a
procession in honor of the Body
of Christ—Corpus Christi. This
year it will be on Sunday, June
22nd. We will begin in the
church after 12:45 P.M. Mass
that celebrates the Feast of the
Body and Blood of Christ.
Afterwards, we will have the
procession through the gardens
around the church, ending in
the Chapel where the Blessed Sacrament will
remain exposed. Everyone is invited.
IMPORTANCE OF FATHERS
A study by Warren Mueller revealed that where
both parents attend church regularly, 72% of
their children continue in the faith. Where only
the father attends, that percentage drops to
55%, but where only the mother attends, just
15% of their children remain involved in the
church. The family that prays together, plays
together, shares together and goes to church
together, stays together, especially when fathers
set God-given example!!!

HUMOR CORNER
THE BURGLAR
Late one night, a burglar broke into a
house he thought was empty. He tiptoed through
the living room but suddenly he froze in his
tracks when he heard a loud voice say: "Jesus is
watching you!"
Silence returned to the house, so the burglar
crept forward again. "Jesus is watching you,"
the voice boomed again. The burglar stopped
dead again. He was frightened. Frantically, he
looked all around. In a dark corner, he spotted a
bird cage and in the cage was a parrot. He asked
the parrot:
"Was that you who said Jesus is watching me?"
"Yes," said the parrot. The burglar breathed a
sigh of relief and asked the parrot: "What's
your name?" "Clarence," said the bird.
"That's a dumb name for a parrot," sneered the
burglar. "What idiot named you Clarence?"
The parrot said, "The same idiot who named the
Doberman Jesus."
A FATHER’S PRAYER
O God, Giver of Life and Father of us all,
help me to be the kind of father to my
children that You are to me.
May I love unconditionally, forgive them
when they fail, counsel them when they
doubt, lift them up when they fall, guide them
in the darkness and walk beside them in the
light.
Show me, Loving Father, how to teach them,
to play with them, to share with them and to
pray with them.
Thank You for my children; thank You for
my role as a father. Amen.

THE MYSTERY OF THE HOLY TRINITY
For many people, speaking of the Trinity is equal to
using incomprehensible words, and surrounding the
whole subject in confusion and mystery.

became for us Word and Message, is to make
known with love and clarity the mystery of God. He

Tanto amó Dios al mundo,

Mensaje del Domingo
El Misterio de la Trinidad
Dios como Trinidad no es tanto
un misterio para discutir, sino
una realidad para experimentar.
Les quiero proponer una forma
de orar pensando en La Trinidad,
haciendo de este misterio algo
mas vivo y cercano en nuestra

Habla sobre esto a Dios-Padre y
dale gracias.

envuelto en la confusión y el misterio. La misión

amor y claridad el misterio de Dios: un Dios cercano,
del Párroco
que siendo uno solo, se manifiesta en tres personas,
viene a nosotros por tres caminos diferentes,
realizando tres misiones distintas.
Todo lo cual, aparentemente muy difícil de entender para el
razonamiento humano, es fácil de sentir y vivir dentro de nuestro
corazón, que, por otro lado, muchas veces es un misterio para los mismos
humanos. Cuando conocemos y meditamos en todo lo que Jesús nos dice
de Dios-Padre y de Dios-Espíritu Santo, no podemos confundir a Dios
con un personaje omnipotente, autosuficiente, lejano y solitario, ajeno al
mundo y despreocupado de los seres humanos.
Para mi está claro que Dios es Padre y que nos quiere como un Padre o
como una madre y nos quiere también como se quieren los hermanos y
amigos. Y quien haya experimentado este amor en su corazón y en su
relación con los humanos, ese puede entender, según la revelación de
Cristo cuanto nos quiere Dios, nuestro Padre, nuestro Hermano,
nuestro Amigo íntimo. Por eso el misterio de la Trinidad no es confuso
alejamiento de Dios, sino explicación cercana y amorosa de la existencia
divina.
En el segundo minuto piensa en

LA ORACION DEL PADRE
Oh Señor, origen de la vida y padre de todos,
ayúdame a ser padre para mis hijos,
como tú eres Padre para mi.
Que los ame sin condiciones, que los perdone
cuando comenten errores,
que los oriente cuando tienen dudas,
que los levante cuando se caen,
que los guíe en medio de la oscuridad
y que camine a su lado en medio de la claridad.
Enséñame, Señor, a ser su maestro.
Enséñame como jugar con ellos,
como compartir con ellos y
como orar con ellos.
Gracias, Señor, por mis hijos.
Gracias por haberme llamado a ser padre.
Amén.
BENDICIÓN DEL DÍA DEL PADRE
Dios, Padre nuestro,
Por tu sabiduría y amor hiciste todas las cosas.
Bendice a estos hombres,
para que sean fortalecidos

Deja que el ejemplo de su fe y amor brille.
Concédenos que nosotros, sus hijos e hijas,
Los honremos siempre
Con un espíritu de respeto profundo.
