Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday, June 19, 2016
Dear friends,
Rcently I read a story about a father who wanted to teach his four sons patience. He asked them to go and look at
a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer and the youngest son in the fall.
When they all came back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the
tree was ugly, bent and twisted. The second son said it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third
son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son
disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The father, then,
said: You all are right because you have each seen but only one season in the tree’s life. He continued: We
cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season. We have to wait until the end to measure the worth.
The disciples had to wait until the resurrection of Jesus to have a clear picture of who Jesus was. Many of them
who had a ‘shortage of patience’ gave up their following, half way. Patience is crucial for success in every aspect
of life. Patience is not pleasant. It can be frustrating. At times it entails suffering. So Jesus said to his disciples, “If
anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” “A religion
that gives nothing, costs nothing and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.”
If we give up when it is winter, we will miss the promise of the spring, the beauty of the summer, and the
fulfillment of life. We must persevere through the difficult patches, and better times are sure to come. It is great
to have this prayer on our lips all the time: Here I am Lord; lead me; I am here to do your will.
May God bless you
Mis Queridos amigos,
Hay una historia sobre un padre que quería enseñar a sus cuatro hijos sobre la paciencia. Les pidió que fueran a
buscar un árbol de peras que estaba a gran distancia. El primer hijo fue en el invierno, el segundo en la
primavera, el tercero en el verano y el hijo más joven en otoño.
Cuando todos regresaron, él los llamo para reunirlos a que describirán lo que habían visto. El primer hijo dijo
que el árbol estaba horrible, doblado y torcido. El segundo hijo dijo que estaba cubierto de capullos verdes y lleno
de promesa. El tercer hijo no estuvo de acuerdo; dijo que estaba cargado de flores que olían tan dulce y se veía
tan hermoso. El último hijo no estuvo de acuerdo con todos ellos; dijo que estaba maduro y que la fruta se cae
del árbol, llena de vida y de cumplimiento. El padre entonces dijo: todos ustedes están en lo correcto porque
solamente han visto una estación en la vida del árbol. Continuó: no podemos juzgar a un árbol o una persona,
por sólo una temporada. Tenemos que esperar hasta el final para medir su valor.
Los discípulos tenían que esperar hasta la resurrección de Jesús para tener una idea clara de quién era Jesús.
Muchos de ellos que tenía la 'falta de paciencia' dejaron de seguirlo a medio camino. La paciencia es
fundamental para el éxito en todos los aspectos de la vida. La paciencia no es agradable. Puede ser frustrante. A
veces implica sufrimiento. Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "Si alguno quiere seguirme, él debe negarse a sí mismo,
tome su cruz de cada día y sígame." "Una religión que da nada, no cuesta nada y no sufre nada, no vale nada."
Si nos damos por vencidos cuando es invierno, extrañamos la promesa de la primavera, la belleza del verano y el
cumplimiento de la vida. Debemos perseverar a través de los momentos difíciles, y mejores momentos vendrán.
Es bueno tener esta oración en los labios todo el tiempo: “Aquí estoy Señor; guíame; Estoy aquí para hacer tu
voluntad”.
Que Dios los bendiga.

My second book, CORNERSTONE: Living Faith in the Real World, will be
available for purchase after all the Masses today, Sunday, June 19. In
this book, I discuss all the important aspects of our faith and various
tools available for growing in our faith. It is Scripture based and gives
much food for thought. Each theme is developed through humorous
stories, inspiring anecdotes and real life experiences. Anyone who is
looking for a spiritual guide, this is it.
This book is a souvenir of the Silver Jubilee of my Priestly Ordination.
The purpose of this book, along with providing you with spiritual
inspiration, is to raise funds to support my Carmelites Mission in North
India. I am asking for a minimum donation of $20.00 per book. Buy
one for yourself, buy one for your friends. Thank you for your
support. You can also purchase the book from the Parish Office (209
N. Hanford Ave.) after June 19.

Holy Trinity School
The school exists to build the future church by
educating the children in the Catholic faith. Religion is
taught daily; students attend Mass weekly as a class
and monthly as a Student Body. Students are provided
daily opportunities to pray and share their faith.
Academically, through differentiated instruction, the
integration of technology, and current instructional
methodologies, students are highly engaged in learning
in all subject areas. Students are taught in a safe,
caring, learning environment by highly qualified
teachers. Students have the opportunity to participate
in a wide variety of enrichment activities and sports.
Social Justice is an important part of the learning at
Holy Trinity School, and each class participates in a
project to assist others.
For information about the school, call the school office
at (310) 833-0703 or visit our website at
school.holytrinitysp.org or our Face Book page at

Saints Alive Society
The Saints Alive Society here at Holy Trinity is a ministry
dedicated to portraying the lives of the Saints. We use
drama, artwork, costumes, and music to tell their
stories. We feature a live presentation of one Saint
each month and in November we put on a pageant
called Saints Alive, where we present the lives of
various Saints during a one and a half hour program.
Participation from all ages is welcome and no
experience is required. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and we
really connect with God and His Saints in a personal
and uplifting way.
HTPA (Holy Trinity Parents Association)
The HTPA at Holy Trinity School is the parent
organization that serves two purposes: to build
community and to raise funds for the school.
Community building activities include such things as
our Back to School Mass and Coffee, Fall Event, Food
Truck Days, Coffee with the Principal, and Nonreturning Parents Dinner. Fundraising events are
Monte Carlo Night, the Golf Tournament, Eat for HT
Nights, and the major school fundraisers are the
Wrapping Paper Drive, the Candy Sale, and the Cookie
Dough Sale. Parents also provide much support to the
teachers through their work as Room Parents, which
allow the school to provide special events and
opportunities for the students.
For information about the HTPA, call the school office
at (310) 833-0703 or visit our website at
school.holytrinitysp.org or our Face Book page at

Communications & Technology Committee
The primary mission of the Communications &
Technology Committee is the creation and
maintenance of the parish and school web sites. Our
secondary mission is to use our technology know-how
to improve the audio and video systems for some of
our parish events. We are responsible for collecting
information about upcoming parish and school events,
and posting that information on the web sites. Our goal
is to keep parishioners and school parents informed of
all programs and events that are going on at our parish
and school, to increase participation in those events, in
order to create a community that is closer to Christ.

A Prayer for Fathers
God our Father, we give you thanks and praise for
fathers young and old.
We pray for young fathers, newly embracing their
vocation; May they find courage and perseverance
to balance work, family and faith in joy and
sacrifice.
We pray for our own Fathers around the world
whose children are lost or suffering; May they know
that the God of compassion walks with them in
their sorrow.
We pray for men who are not fathers but still
mentor and guide us with fatherly love and advice.
We remember fathers, grandfathers, and great
grandfathers who are no longer with us but who
live forever in our memory and nourish us with
their love. Amen

Protect kids from bullying while playing online
The pace of online gaming is only growing. There is a
small but real chance that victimization could occur
when kids play and interact with others on phones,
tablets, laptops, desktops and gaming consoles. A
helpful way to teach children about handling problems is
to encourage them to report issues when they arise.
Internet service providers and gaming networks have
systems set up to field complaints of abuse and then
investigate them (in conjunction with law enforcement,
when necessary). For more tips on how to help protect
young people from vulnerabilities while playing online
please email [email protected] or call 213637-7227 to receive a copy of the VIRTUS® article
“Preventing Cyberbullying in Online Gaming, Part 2.”
Protegiendo a los Niños
¿Sabe Usted?
Proteja a los niños del acoso o “bullying” mientras
juegan en Internet
El paso de los juegos en línea sigue aumentando. Existe
una pequeña, pero real oportunidad de que pueda
ocurrir la victimización cuando los niños juegan e
interactúan con otros en teléfonos, tabletas, laptops,
computadoras de mesa y consolas de juego. Una
manera útil de enseñar a los niños sobre cómo manejar
problemas es animarlos a reportar problemas cuando
estos surjan. Los proveedores de servicio de Internet y
las redes de juegos por Internet tienen sistemas
establecidos para recibir quejas de abuso y luego las
investigan (en conjunto con la policía, cuando es
necesario). Para más consejos sobre cómo ayudar a
proteger a los niños y jóvenes de las vulnerabilidades
mientras juegan en línea, por favor envíe un correo
electrónico a [email protected] o llame

Luke 9:51-62
“No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what
was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.“
—Luke 9:62
Scripture Focus:
Today’s Gospel spells out what it means to follow
Jesus, to be his disciple. James and John, “sons of
thunder,” angry at being rejected by the Samaritans,
want to call down fire from heaven to consume Jesus’
enemies. Jesus says there is no room for getting even
in the Christian way of life. There is to be no violence.
Luke develops the theme of discipleship further using
three examples. Jesus tells the one who offers to follow
him “wherever he goes” of the hardships involved. His
strange reply to the man who wants to go home first to
bury his father underlines the urgency to get on with
proclaiming the reign of God. And finally there is a
singleness of purpose involved in being a follower of
Jesus. There can be no looking back to what one has
left behind.
Reflection:
1. How do you react when someone criticizes you or is
hostile to you?
2. When in your life have you been called to change
direction (put your hand to a different “plow”)
because of your desire to be a follower of Jesus?
3. What does it mean to your everyday life to be a
follower of Jesus?
