For those wishing to reverently and properly
dispose of broken sacramentals (rosaries, scapulars, etc.) we now
have baskets located at the entrances where you can
drop these items off.
The church will collect them and they will be
disposed in the traditional way on June 23rd,

“Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you." -John 16:15
H W G Y A T
In my first year as a seminarian, I took a course in art history at the University of St. Thomas. We studied several works of sacred art and architecture in the Christian tradi-tion; one of those artworks was a Russian Orthodox icon called The Holy Trinity, by Andrei Rublev, a Russian artist of the fifteenth century.
The Rublev icon, shown above, is noteworthy because of its representation of the Holy Trinity. The icon depicts no bearded sage as God the Father, no young man as God the Son, nor a hovering dove as God the Holy Spirit. In fact, the Orthodox tradition shies away from visual depictions of the Holy Trinity, in favor of nuanced representations.
Rublev uses the image of three angels encircling a golden cup to represent the mutual love among the persons of the Holy Trinity. Art historians believe the scriptural basis for the icon is contained in the story of “The Hospitality of Abraham,” which is found in Genesis 18:1-10. In the story, Abraham welcomes into his home three strangers who are later revealed to be angels. One of the angels foretells that Sarah will bear a son in her old age. Later in Genesis, Sarah gives birth to Isaac. The lesson we should draw from the story of Abraham’s hospitality is this: When we make our lives a welcome dwelling for the Lord, he reveals himself to us and blesses us, even if the blessing is not so readily seen or experienced. So, how do we do this? Well, the answer is obvious. In order to make our souls fit for the indwelling of the Most Holy Trinity, we must participate fre-quently in the sacramental life of the Church through prayer, divine worship, and we should be serious about doing good works to build up the Kingdom of God among us.
Trinity Sunday, like every Sunday, is an opportunity for us to come into God’s presence at Holy Mass with an attitude of receptivity toward the God who loves us. Today we reflect on the Holy Trinity as the community of divine persons bound together eternally, in total love and self-gift. We will never fully understand the mystery of the Holy Trini-ty in this life, but perhaps gazing into an icon of the Holy Trinity will allow the Spirit of Truth to speak truth to us, just as the angel revealed the unfolding mystery of our salva-tion to Abraham and Sarah.

RITO DE INICIACION CRISTIANA PARA ADULTOS (RICA)
C Reflexiones sobre la vida cristiana por el
Padre Matthew G. Suniga “Todo lo que el Padre tiene, es mío también; por eso dije que el Espíritu
recibirá de lo que es mío y se lo dará a conocer a ustedes.” -San Juan 16:15
É T G T V En mi primer año como seminarista, tomé un curso de historia del arte en la Universi-dad de St. Thomas. Estudiamos varias obras de arte sacro y arquitectura en la tradi-ción cristiana; Una de esas obras de arte fue un ícono Ortodoxo Ruso llamado La San-tísima Trinidad, de Andrei Rublev, un artista ruso del siglo XV. El icono de Rublev, que se muestra arriba, es digno de mención debido a su represen-tación de la Santísima Trinidad. El icono no representa a ningún sabio barbudo como Dios el Padre, a ningún joven como Dios el Hijo, ni a una paloma flotante como Dios el Espíritu Santo. De hecho, la tradición ortodoxa se aleja de las representaciones vi-suales de la Santísima Trinidad, en favor de representaciones matizadas. Rublev usa la imagen de tres ángeles que rodean una copa de oro para representar el amor mutuo entre las personas de la Santísima Trinidad. Los historiadores del arte creen que la base bíblica para el ícono está contenida en la historia de "La hospitali-dad de Abraham", que se encuentra en Génesis 18: 1-10. En la historia, Abraham reci-be en su hogar a tres extraños que luego se revela que son ángeles. Uno de los ángeles predice que Sarah tendrá un hijo en su vejez. Más tarde, en Génesis, Sara da a luz a Isaac. La lección que debemos extraer de la historia de la hospitalidad de Abraham es esta: cuando hacemos de nuestra vida una morada bienvenida para el Señor, se nos revela y nos bendice, incluso si la bendición no se ve ni se experimenta tan fácilmen-te. ¿Entonces cómo hacemos esto? Bueno, la respuesta es obvia. Para hacer que nues-tras almas sean aptas para la morada de la Santísima Trinidad, debemos participar frecuentemente en la vida sacramental de la Iglesia a través de la oración, la adoración divina, y debemos tomar en serio hacer buenas obras para edificar el Reino de Dios entre los demás. nosotros. El domingo de la Trinidad, como todos los domingos, es una oportunidad para que vengamos a la presencia de Dios en la Santa Misa con una actitud de receptividad hacia el Dios que nos ama. Hoy reflexionamos sobre la Santísima Trinidad como la comunidad de personas divinas unidas eternamente, en amor total y sacrificio. Nunca entenderemos completamente el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad en esta vida, pero tal vez mirar en un ícono de la Santísima Trinidad permitirá que el Espíritu de la Ver-dad nos diga la verdad, tal como el ángel reveló el misterio en desarrollo de nuestra salvación a Abraham. y Sarah.

Dorothy Syblik I was born in Sugar Land, baptized and confirmed at St Theresa’s Catholic Church. My mother, Rosie Syblik Janssen, was the secretary of the church for 23 years beginning in the 1960’s. I left town and St Theresa’s in 1968 when I graduated from high school. The church was a baby version of what it is today. I have been a recipient of excellent spiritual direction from two sisters of the Cenacle Retreat Center. For over 30 years I have been guided by these spiritual di-rectors, sometimes 12 times a year, sometimes twice a year. I wanted to give back to the Cenacle in my re-tirement years. I was humbled when Sister Mary Den-nison suggested that I become a spiritual director. It was a blessing that St Theresa’s agreed to sponsor me. I am here to serve and with God’s Grace hope to help some people in this ministry.
S D S . T ’ Christian spiritual direction supports the belief that God wants a personal relationship with each of us. A spiritual director helps a believer pay attention to God’s communication to him or her, to respond to God, to grow in intimacy with God and to live out the conse-quences of this relationship. At St. Theresa’s, spiritual direction is offered by certi-fied spiritual directors who have specialized spiritual training, knowledge of the Catholic tradition and of human development. They adhere to the Guidelines for Ethical Conduct promulgated by Spiritual Directors International. They offer a non-judgmental and confi-dential presence while recognizing that the Holy Spirit is the true director in Christian spiritual direction. The spiritual directors at St. Theresa do not personally ac-cept compensation. Directees may make free-will do-nations to St. Theresa Catholic Church, if they wish. The focus of a spiritual direction session is your life
with God as it is lived out in your experiences. What is reflected upon is your prayer experiences, your images of God, questions about faith, your particular joys, sadness, fears, doubts and desires. Spiritual Directors meet with directees approximately once a month for an hour or so in a space designated for such purposes on the church grounds. Please note that Spiritual Direction is not counseling, problem solving or advice giving. It is not a prayer session. It is not a quick fix solution to a crisis situation. It is, rather, helping another develop a deeper relation-ship with God, a relationship that can keep growing deeper to the end of our lives. To begin Spiritual Direction, fill out the questionnaire on the parish web site or from the parish office. For more information, call 281-494-1156, Ext 222.
