The Most Holy Trinity, June 7, 2020 OURLADYMOTHERCHURCH. COM 8747 West Lawrence Avenue, Chicago, IL 60656 Phone: 773-625-3369 Fax: 773-625-0226 RECTORY OFFICE HOURS: Mon., Tues., Wed. : 9:00am - 4:00pm Thur. & Fri. : 9:00am - 2:00pm Our Lady, Mother of the Church Page Two Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ, Today we celebrate Holy Trinity Sunday. We are amazed at undivided unity of Three Divine Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; all are equal, and living in perfect harmony. A week ago, we celebrated Pentecost when the mission of the Holy Spirit began, the mission of the Son on earth was accomplished. Pentecost was a reverse of society life in which people didn’t understand each other, with its origin in constructing the Tower of Babel. People tried to build a society without God, and a tower was built to replace God. As a result, they lost communication with God and in fact they lost communication with each other. They were speaking in different languages. Instead of reaching heaven without God, they came to confusion. In the gospel reading we discover a great love of God who gave us His Only begotten Son to save us, and gave us a share in the life of the Holy Trinity. In the letter to the Corinthians Saint Paul shows us what is really the way followed by the children of God: “Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.” As you know, at Our Lady, Mother of the Church Parish we are at Re-Opening Phase I. It allows us to celebrate funerals, marriages, baptisms, and confessions with attendance of up to ten people. To advance into Phase II, we need to host at least three of these ser- vices, besides other requirements. It is a way of checking if our procedures work well. This Saturday, June 6, we start to offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It will be at our regular time: Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Only ten people are allowed to be inside the church not counting those who minister. On-line registrations for confession are available on our parish website, you can also call the rectory to reserve a time for you. As we plan to advance into Phase II, we also need more volunteers to manage regular Sunday and weekday Masses. If you can help, please call us or send an email. May God of peace be with you and with every human heart, Fr.
