From the Deacon’s Desk Dear friends in Christ, ALL EVENTS/MEETINGS CANCELLED One of the greatest of the Greek UNTIL FUTHER NOTICE philosophers, Aristotle, famously said that human beings are political animals. By that, he didn’t mean that we all belong to political parties or have certain 2020 Liturgical Calendar & Mass Readings ideologies. In his terms, Aristotle June 7 – The Most Holy Trinity meant that we are designed to live in Ex 34:4b-6, 8-9/2 Cor 13:11-13/Jn 3:16-18 community. He thought that the basic unit of human society was June 8 Weekday (Tenth Week in Ordinary Time) the family. By this, he felt that as human beings, we must flourish 1 Kgs 17:1-6/Mt 5:1-12 in some basic form of community. We learn by imitating others June 9 – Weekday and being taught by others. We love telling stories, we have a Saints Ephrem, Deacon and need to create, and we build and trade. Even the hermit, living Doctor of the Church in a hut in the forest, can only be solitary because he or she first 1 Kgs 17:7-16/Mt 5:13-16 belonged to a community – the human family. As we celebrate Trinity Sunday, we know that we see in the June 10 – Weekday Trinity a great mystery that is revealed in the relationship of God 1 Kgs 18:20-29/Mk 5:17-19 the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Trinity June 11 – Saint Barnabas, Apostle is the basic reality of Christian faith, revealed by God in person, Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3/Mt 5:20-26 Jesus Christ, through His life, death and resurrection. The Trinity June 12 – Weekday offers new pathways for us to reflect on God’s love for us, draw 1 Kgs 19:9a, 11-16/Mt 5:27-32 us into intimate, dynamic and life-changing relationship. June 13 – Saint Anthony of Padua, Humans are social and rational beings because we are made Priest and Doctor of the Church in the image of the Holy Trinity. This saving truth is shown to us 1 Kgs 19:19-21/Mt 5:33-37 through the incarnation of the divine word – Jesus – who by His June 14 – The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ passion, death and resurrection, Jesus communicated the divine (Corpus Christi) life to us. By the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Trinity dwells within Dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a/1 Cor 10:16-17/Jn 6:51-58 us. We are made for communion – communion with each other – and communion with God.

Liturgical Calendar: The month of June is dedicated to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. This month falls within the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, which is represented by the liturgical Statement from Bishop Brennan on the Death of George color green. This symbol of hope is the color of the sprouting seed Floyd: The events surrounding the death of Mr. George and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest Floyd in Minneapolis are deeply troubling for all people, of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. causing unrest and anger. The feelings surrounding this situation and others like it are justified, and there are so The Holy Father’s Intentions for the Month of June 2020: many ways those feelings and thoughts can and should be We pray that all those who suffer may find their way in life, voiced.

They represent a participation in the toxic cloud in the work of redemption. The Father sent His Son to earth, for of stereotypical judgement which such protests rightly seek “God so loved the world as to give His only-begotten Son.” to condemn. The Father called us to the faith. The Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, became man and died for us. He redeemed us and made Mr. Floyd’s death calls for an honest self-examination on us children of God. He ever remains the liturgist par excellence the part of all of us that seeks to identify sinful attitudes and to whom we are united in all sacred functions.

Leader, our Guide, our Consoler.

I recognize, also, that most in our law enforcement community are very good people who find these situations abhorrent and have a strong reaction against what has happened. They, too, share in the call for investigation and action to prevent these situations from occurring again. I thank them for their service and willingness to risk their wellbeing to help assure the common good.

As people of faith in God, we must be totally committed God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, to eradicating racism and encouraging all our neighbors so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish to peace toward people of every race, creed, and color. but might have eternal life. The path of peace will lead us toward bringing an end to For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the everything that is contradictory to the call to love God and world, neighbor.
