2 | Church of the Most Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity is a parish community in the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego. We gather as God’s people to worship Him and to be renewed in faith, hope and love. As individuals, we come from a diversity of cultures, ages, state in life, ethnic heritage and backgrounds; yet all are united in One Body, the Church. In the Eucharist we are strengthened in our communion with Jesus Christ and each other. We are to be Who we receive, and bring the Light of Christ whenever and wherever we are. Holy Trinity is open to all people of good will. Anyone with a sincere heart can have a saving encounter with Jesus Christ because we believe He is present in the Word we proclaim, in the Sacraments we celebrate, in the priest acting in the Person of Christ, and in each one of us gathered in His Name.

Welcome! Bienvenidos! ًأھلاً وسھلا

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP The Steward’s Work Is Never Done Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock! When you hear these strong words from the Old Testament, you’re probably thinking, thank goodness I don’t have any sheep — dodged that bullet. Nobody misled here! No flock scattered on my watch! However, we are all shepherds of a kind, called to tend our own sheep: our families, our parishes, our communities. But it’s exhausting. Don’t we all sometimes just want to take a break from being a steward? The excuses are so familiar: we’re tired, we’ve done enough, we’ve given all we can, what more does the parish (or my spouse, or my kids, or my boss, or my friends, or my community) want? We give ourselves permission to be selfish. So, what if the flock scatters just a little? Jesus gets that. We can just imagine him weary with exhaustion, can’t we? We see him on his boat, attempting to sneak away for a quick break — maybe just a chance to eat a bite of food in peace. He is God, but he was still human, after all. Even the most dedicated shepherds need to sleep. But people couldn’t leave him alone. They were hungry for him. They needed what he could offer, and they needed it now. As tough as it is, that’s the example we are tasked with imitating. Everyday Stewardship demands accountability. It demands our showing up even when we are tired. It demands that we look at our lives, our time, our energies, our talents, our hearts, our bank accounts and think: where do I still have more to give? — Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ©LPi

Dear Parish Community,

At the very core of our Catholic Tradition, we as a church have always reached out to others to proclaim Jesus and His gospel.

We will start September 28 at 7 pm in Room 2 of the Parish classrooms and continue each Tuesday evening through May 24. We offer the class in English or Spanish.

Our instructors are experienced and well trained to assist all forming a closer encounter with Jesus and His church.

God bless you, Deacon Tim

Evangelio según San Marcos 6,30-34. Los Apóstoles se reunieron con Jesús y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho y enseñado. El les dijo: "Vengan ustedes solos a un lugar desierto, para descansar un poco". Porque era tanta la gente que iba y venía, que no tenían tiempo ni para comer. Entonces se fueron solos en la barca a un lugar desierto. Al verlos partir, muchos los reconocieron, y de todas las ciudades acudieron por tierra a aquel lugar y llegaron antes que ellos. Al desembarcar, Jesús vio una gran muchedumbre y se compadeció de ella, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor, y estuvo enseñándoles largo rato. Extraído de la Biblia: Libro del Pueblo de Dios.

PREGUNTAS DE LA SEMANA Primera Lectura El profeta Jeremías habló de la reacción negativa de Dios hacia "los pastores" (gobernantes falsos) que descuidaron y extraviaron a sus "ovejas" (el pueblo de Israel y Judá). ¿Qué características hacen a un líder ideal? Segunda Lectura Pablo enseñó a los efesios que, a través de su cruz y resurrección, Jesús estableció la unidad y la paz para todos los creyentes. ¿Cuándo has experimentado la armonía en tu comunidad de fe? Evangelio Jesús animó a los apóstoles a retirarse y descansar después de su exitosa obra misionera, pero las multitudes lo dificultaban. ¿Qué se interpone en tu camino para descansar y retirarte? ©LPi

MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO La Liturgia de hoy evoca la figura del pastor. Figura muy fuerte en tiempos de Jesús. Un pastor cuida, protege y da la vida por sus ovejas. También existen los malos pastores y se distingue su mal proceder. Este Evangelio, también es recordado el IV domingo de Pascua. Jesús es el Pastor de Pastores, basta el mirar su proceder para ver lo mucho que nos ama y busca nuestro bien en todo momento. La primera lectura nos describe los rasgos de los malos pastores. Así, que, si los invertimos veremos claramente las características de los buenos pastores. ¿Actualmente a quienes se les dice pastores? Bueno, no es solamente los pastores en la iglesia. Pastores son las personas que cuidan y protegen y guían a otros. Se les puede llamar pastores a los padres de familia, a los maestros, a los abuelitos y a toda persona que tiene bajo su cuidado, de alguna forma, el hogar, la escuela o la oficina. El Evangelio nos dice que Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Vámonos aparte, a un lugar retirado, y descansarán un poco. Porque eran tantos los que iban y venían que no les quedaba tiempo ni para comer” (Marcos 6:31-32). Lo que paso a los apóstoles, les pasa a los padres de familia responsables del cuidado de sus hijos. Son tantas las idas y venidas que no hay tiempo ni para comer. ¡Señor Jesús, deseo que tú seas mi Pastor y mi Maestro en todo lo que hago! Guíanos a todos y cúranos de nuestras heridas por esta pandemia. El mundo entero te necesita, no nos abandones. Oremos juntos: “El Señor es mi Pastor nada me falta; en verdes pastos él me hace reposar. A las aguas de descanso me conduce, y reconforta mi alma” (Salmo 23: 1-3). ©LPi

LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD DIARIA El trabajo del corresponsable nunca termina

¡Ay de los pastores que extravían y dispersan el rebaño! Cuando escuchas estas fuertes palabras del Antiguo Testamento, probablemente estés pensando, gracias a Dios que no tengo ovejas, esquivé esa bala. ¡Nadie engañado aquí! ¡Ningún rebaño se dispersó en mi guardia! Sin embargo, todos somos pastores de algún tipo, llamados a cuidar de nuestras propias ovejas: nuestras familias, nuestras parroquias, nuestras comunidades.

Pero es agotador. ¿Acaso no es verdad que todos a veces solo queremos tomarnos un descanso de ser corresponsables? Las excusas son tan familiares: estamos cansados, hemos hecho lo suficiente, hemos dado todo lo que podemos, ¿qué más quiere la parroquia (o mi cónyuge, mis hijos, mi jefe, mis amigos o mi comunidad)? Nos damos permiso para ser egoístas. Entonces, ¿qué pasa si el rebaño se dispersa solo un poco?

Jesús lo entiende. Podemos imaginarlo exhausto de agotamiento, ¿no es así? Lo vemos en su bote, tratando de escabullirse para un breve descanso, tal vez solo una oportunidad para comer un bocado en paz. Él es Dios, pero seguía siendo humano, después de todo. Incluso los pastores más dedicados necesitan dormir. Pero la gente no podía dejarlo en paz. Tenían hambre de él. Necesitaban lo que él podía ofrecer y lo necesitaban ahora.

Por duro que sea, ese es el ejemplo que tenemos que imitar. La corresponsabilidad diaria exige responsabilidad. Exige que nos presentemos incluso cuando estamos cansados. Exige que miremos nuestras vidas, nuestro tiempo, nuestras energías, nuestros talentos, nuestros corazones, nuestras cuentas bancarias y pensemos: ¿dónde tengo más para dar? — Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS ©LPi
