❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖❖
God sent his Son to save us and to
forgive us, making us his adopted
children. Like the Trinity of persons,
may we be united in peace and love
through the Spirit, through whom we
offer God praise and glory.

Respect Life
May we defend the truth that all have
been endowed by their Creator with a
right to life with the same courage as
our veterans have defended our
freedom.
We pray to the Lord…

Blessed Trinity
The dogma of three Persons in one
God. Although in God there is one
nature there are three distinct persons
in that nature: the Father, the Son who
proceeds from the Father by
generation, and the Holy Spirit who
proceeds from the Father and the Son
by spiration. The three Divine Persons
are
co-equal,
co-eternal,
and
consubstantial; hence, they deserve
coequal glory and adoration. All life
begins in the Trinity, comes from the
Trinity, and is destined to end in the
Trinity.
Every liturgical action begins “in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit…” It is because the
faithful are baptized “in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit” that they can celebrate the
Covenant in virtue of their universal
priesthood. They can not only prepare
themselves for the salvific action
wrought by the Trinity but also enter
into the very life of the Three Divine
Persons (grace). The Liturgy of the
heavenly Jerusalem, in which the
earthly Liturgy really shares, is the
perfect insertion of the Church, the
Spouse and Body of Christ, into the
Life of he Son, begotten by the Father
in the Holy Spirit and flowing back to
the Father in the same Spirit.
[Dictionary of the Liturgy]
Gently used uniforms that have been
donated to ACS are on the cafeteria
stage for students and their families to
try on and take for school year 201718. This is a free service. Everyone is
encouraged to stop by the school this
week from 9-12 to look at the uniforms
and take whatever they can use. We are
doing this early so that families can see
what is available le for free before
making additional purchases. If you
have any uniforms that you would like
to donate to the school, drop them off
this week.

A Stewardship Moment
The Most Holy Trinity
In today’s second reading Saint Paul’s
final appeal is a call for unity. God
created that unity. Good stewards who
share Christ’s life in the Eucharist
belong to each other, just as God in the
three persons of father, Son and Holy
Spirit enjoy unity. We are an intimate
part of God’s divine bond, God’s
“family.” Saint Paul maintains that we
ought to act that way. In the Church
there is a bond of family, yet plenty
room for variety. Christian stewards
use their uniquely varied gifts to live a
Trinitarian faith, in unity, promoting
Christ’s peace and justice. How do we
promote unity in our parish?

CONSTANT DISTRACTIONS IN
OUR DAILY LIVES (Part I of 2)
There are two ways to go through life:
Mindfully or mindlessly. In the first
instance, we pay attention. We see
things and notice them in order to
appreciate them. We hear things in
order to understand them. We seek to
know things not superficially but in
their wholeness. We live in the present
moment and experience the world
with wonder, tasting its mysteries with
full appreciation.
In the second instance, we are
distracted. We see things but do not
notice them. We hear things but do
not understand them. All the
information of our senses is received
with the bare minimum of attention.
Our whole life is a haze, a fragmented
series of a barely conscious sense
impressions.
The first describes the mode of the
person who sees fully and feels deeply.
The second describes the frequently
fragmented attention of modern man,
and this is in no small part due to
omnipresent technology.
I possess a smartphone, and there are
frequently times I am thankful for its
benefits. Yet, as often as I am thankful,
I am equally
disgusted with it. For my phone has a
way of
drawing me inevitably away from the
present moment. A brief consultation
for a specific purpose quickly finds me
distracted by a barrage of information
flowing at me incessantly through a
brightly colored screen. It is a machine
designed for one purpose—to absorb
and hold my attention for as long as
possible.
Whether or not we realize it, our
attention is now a commodity to be
bought and sold. We think we are
mindlessly relaxing, scrolling through
our Instagram or Twitter or Facebook
feed. In reality, advertisers are
purchasing our attention and using the
years of social data we have given
them to know what we want before
we know we want it. And it works. It is
nearly irresistible. It is designed to be
so.
It could be argued legitimately that
every technology has tradeoffs and
that internet enabled phones are no
exception. The problem is, digital
devices are designed to fragment
attention, where other technologies
are intended to augment it. An apt
example is a book. A book is actually a
piece of technology for relaying
information. After the advent of the
printing press, books became the most
widely used system of information
exchange.
But reading is an entirely different
experience than scrolling on Facebook.
Reading focuses your attention and
draws you into a deep state of flow—
of concentration without effort.
Reading causes you to pass through
the particular words into the realm of
ideas and, in the case of fiction,
imagery and emotions. The whole
structure of a book, from the font to
the layout of words on a
page, is designed to aid and augment
concentration. – to be continued next Sunday.
