From the Deacon’s Desk
This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the
Most Holy Trinity. In today’s first reading of the book of
Exodus God self discloses his own qualities, “the Lord, the
Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich
in kindness and fidelity.” In the second reading of the 2nd
letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians we read the greeting we
hear at the beginning of every mass; “The grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the
Holy Spirit be with all of you.” The Holy Trinity is invoked
with this greeting. In the Gospel of John, we find that so
immense the love of God is for us that, “God so loved the
world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.”
Being aware of how merciful God is, makes me
feel a sense of gratitude for His love for me and all human
beings. It is also very humbling. To think that such an allpowerful, majestic, and immense God (just to name a few
attributes of His omnipotence) can have such a small, lowly, imperfect me in his loving heart. How He watches over
me, and knows all about me since before I was born! The
most awesome fact is that He is all merciful and died for
each and every one of us in this planet! He died for every
single person so that we may have life and have it abundantly now and in heaven.
How does God express His love for us? It may be
different for each one of us; but if we pay attention and
“count our blessing” we can clearly see God’s love manifested through every day occurrences in our lives. For me,
I see the Love of God manifested in every single person
beginning with my family, friends, my family in Christ
here at San Albino and throughout the dioceses and the
whole world. When they are happy, I am happy, when
they suffer I too feel the pain for them. I see God manifested in creation, our beautiful mountains which I cannot ignore every single day, and which I am so happy to return
to when I have been traveling. I see Him in everything He
gives me, all the material, but most of all in all the spiritual
gifts He has given me. I also see Him in times of suffering
and illnesses, when I am down and do not have answers to
problems, I see Him there helping me and carrying me
through it all; good and difficult times.
Someone once told me “I know God is near me,
but I don’t see him or feel him, I want for Him to touch me,
to hug me, to really let me know He is near”. Perhaps
many of us have experienced what this person was vocalizing; but I think that every time a person gives us a smile,
a hug, a pat on the back, even a simple handshake or approving look it is Our Lord giving us that affection
through that person. I believe it is so, that is why it is so
critical that we show our affection for others, and that we
affirm others positively with these gestures, because by
receiving the Holy Eucharist we become Christ among others. If we do not take Him to those who need Him, who is
going to do it? Let’s then evangelize others by giving them
the love that God has for each and every one of us!
Sacrament of Baptism
Worshiping with us at Mass is a time to spiritually prepare both
you and your family for the Sacrament of Baptism.
Parents who are registered in the parish desiring and planning baptism for their child are to come by the office to register for baptism
classes. Pre-baptism classes are required for both parents and Godparents. Godparents must have received the sacrament of Confirmation and, if married, married in the Roman Catholic Church and
be receiving Holy Communion regularly. Only one Godparent is
necessary. If two (2), then male and female are required. Please
come by the office to register for baptism classes. Two consecutive
classes are required. Classes are offered in English only. The next
classes are scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 24 and Monday Oct..30,
2017. Please call the office to register.
THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK
Jesus came to heal the whole person, body and soul. In the Church's
Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, through the ministry of the priest, it
is Jesus who touches the sick to heal them from sin – and sometimes even
from physical ailment. His cures were signs of the arrival of the Kingdom
of God. The core message of his healing tells us of his plan to conquer sin
and death by his dying and rising.
The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no need to wait until a person is at
the point of death to receive the Sacrament. A careful judgment about the
serious nature of the illness is sufficient.
When the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is given, the hoped-for
effect is that, if it be God's will, the person be physically healed of illness.
But even if there is no physical healing, the primary effect of the
Sacrament is a spiritual healing by which the sick person receives the
Holy Spirit's gift of peace and courage to deal with the difficulties that
accompany serious illness or the frailty of old age.
Each first Friday of the month, this Sacrament is offered during the 9:00
a.m. Mass at the Basilica of San Albino. If you are in need of the
Anointing of the Sick , or know someone who is, you are invited to join
us or bring those who would like to have the Anointing but cannot bring
themselves, to Mass on Friday, July 7, 2017.
Sacrament of Holy Matrimony
Regular Mass attendance is an important spiritual preparation for
your wedding in the Church. Please contact the office for an appointment at least EIGHT MONTHS prior to your possible wedding
date. Only after this meeting may a tentative date be discussed.
