MISSION STATEMENT Holy Family Parish is a community that builds on a long tradition of bringing people to a closer relationship with God through prayer, sacraments, celebrations, education, and service to those in need. Dear Friends:

As I mentioned in my homily for the feast of Pentecost, I have been terribly distressed about the killing of George Floyd. I am glad that there is protest about that, but equally distressed at how a peaceful protest turns to violence. It demonstrates how easily emotion can take over, and behavior changes from calm to chaos. I would like to share with you the statement made by Pope Francis about our current situation in the United States: Dear brothers and sisters in the United States. I have witnessed with great concern the social unrest in your nation in these past days, following the tragic death of Mr. George Floyd. My friends, we cannot toler- ate to turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. At the same time, we have to recognize that ‘the violence of recent nights is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost.’ Today I join the Church in St. Paul and Minneapolis, and in the entire United States, in praying for the repose of the soul of George Floyd and of all those others who have lost their lives as a result of the sin of racism. Let us pray for the consolation of their grieving families and friends, and let us implore the national reconciliation and peace for which we yearn. May Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of America, intercede for all those who work for peace and justice in your land and throughout the world. May God bless all of you and your loved ones.” Let us pray for and with one another for and end to racism and violence in our country. l Peace, Father Marty

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

One of the many touching things I’ve learned through the years of writing this weekly column is how se- riously Catholics take the gift of their faith. It’s different these days, I think. Catholics who have with- stood the many horrible sexual abuse scandals, and financial scandals, that have staggered faith and hardened hearts through the past decades are not just holding on because their parents baptized them as babies.

They hold on because they read, and pray, and are constantly learning about the faith they love. When we arrive at the Solemnity of the Trinity, for example, I’m always inspired by the deep and intuitive reflection in which today’s Catholics have invested in order to come to their own understanding of what it all means.

For example, if you asked an adult practicing Catholic today what the first part of that closing blessing St. Paul offers in today’s second reading---"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ”---means to them, you’ll get a rich reflection on the ways grace has directed their lives.

The second half of the blessing---"the love of God”---is probably the easiest, because all Catholics can tell you how the love of God is living and active in their lives.

The third part of the Trinitarian formula—"and the fellowship of the Spirit”---will be easy too, especially since we are smack in the post-Pentecost octave. I can’t imagine active Catholics who can’t relate the ways in which the Holy Spirit lives in their hearts and spirits.

We don’t need theological explanations for what we’ve experienced through lifetimes of prayer and at- tentiveness to the liturgy and scripture. Grace, and love, and intimacy. That’s the meaning of the Trinity. Happy Feast Day! Why do you think one of the Persons of the Trinity might attract you more than the others?

Anni Fassell receives three visitors as he camps by the oak of Mamre. They eat. As the conversation progresses he Andrei Rublev Holy Trinity Icon, 15th Century seems to be talking straight to God, as if these 'angels' were in some way a metaphor for the three persons of the Trinity. In the scene, the three gold-winged figures are seated around a white table on which a golden, chalice-like bowl contains a roasted lamb. The composi- tion is a circle around the table, focusing the attention on the chalicebowl at the center, reminding the viewer of an altar at Communion. On one level this picture shows three angels seated under Abraham's tree, but on another it is a visual expression of what the Trinity means, what is the nature of God, and how we ap- proach him. Reading the picture from left to right, we see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. MASS INTENTIONS
