CHRISTIAN INITIATION (RCIA)
Perhaps you know someone – it may even be YOU –
who desires to deepen their relationship with God
through Baptism into the Catholic Faith.
Are you a baptized Catholic but you’ve never prepared
to receive the gifts of Confirmation or the Holy
Eucharist?
Now’s the time to begin!
If interested, call the Rectory at 212-787-0634, leave
a message for Gary Cushing who will contact you to
take the next step on this important journey of faith.

A Capital Campaign FOR US!
The Archdiocese of New York, in an effort to improve
the physical condition of all parishes (or pay off debts),
is asking all pastors to unveil an Autumn Capital
Campaign (similar to the one we ran in 2006). Local
parishes will retain 74% of their specified goal,
with the rest going to support poor parishes (who
cannot sun such a campaign) and the regional
schools.
Dear Monsignor Sandi, congratulations to you and
Holy Trinity Parish on surpassing your 2016
Cardinal’s Annual Stewardship goal. Thank you for
your dedication to this important effort which, as you
know, impacts the lives of so many of our brothers and
sisters in faith and in need. With prayerful gratitude
and prayerful best wishes, I remain, fraternally in Along these lines, we are thinking very seriously about

“Padre, Señor de

Summer vacation is beckoning. Our nor-so-little rodent brood is
off to Central Park and beyond. See you in September.
Often a parish middle schooler, or high schooler, will
assist the adults at the morning Parish Breakfast Line
for a “community service project.” Well, in late May and
early June, two “20-something” Mormon missionaries
showed up to assist and it was so inspiring! Elder
Holloway and Elder Turner saw a reference to our
longtime, morning outreach online, called Just Serve –
Building Unity Through Community Service. Amazing
and awesome! How proud we parishioners should all
be for the quiet, effective work of our seven, “24-7-365”
teams, and those who choose to supplement their
ministry from time to time. Today, we salute and
complement our two latest helpers.

And 20 Years Ago –
The New Religious War
‘“There is a new religious war,’ says Umberto Eco, between
those who favor Apple Macintosh computers and those prefer
MS-DOS machines. Why religious? Because, says Eco,
‘Macintosh is Catholic and DOS Protestant.’
The Apple Mac belongs to the catechetical tradition, with
revelation explained through simple formulas and sumptuous
icons, said Eco. The faithful are told how to proceed step by
step to reach – if not the kingdom – at least the moment when
their document is printed.
DOS-based IBM computers, by contrast, leave individuals
to work out their own salvation. It is taken for granted that not
everyone will make it.
With Apple, there is a baroque community of revellers; with
DOS, users are alone with their inner torment.”
(8/04/96)
[Obviously computers have changed a bit in 20 years!!]
…Esta es la paradoja del ser humano: inventa cosas para
vivir mejor, pero no consigue ser feliz. Sabemos mucho
sobre las cosas que nos rodean y muy poco sobre
nosotros mismos y de los caminos de la felicidad que en
Dios encontramos. Las enseñanzas de Jesús fueron
rechazadas por los doctores de la ley y fueron reveladas a
todos los que lo recibieron con sencillez, como niños. En
el evangelio vemos la alabanza que Jesús eleva al Padre.
¿Qué es alabar a Dios? Es reconocer lo que Él hace en mí.
Saber a ciencia cierta que lo que Él hace en mi vida es el
* mejor remedio para el desfallecimiento de nuestros
corazones.
En la sociedad actual tan estructurada y organizada,
sabemos acudir al sitio preciso ante la problemática
adecuada. La falta de evangelización de muchas personas
hace que muchos no acudan al Señor que da la paz
interior. Todos tenemos que saber acudir al Maestro y al
Médico de nuestra vida. Lo que ocurre con bastante
frecuencia, es que incluso los creyentes no terminan de
estar convencidos que Dios actúa en sus vidas y en sus
acciones; que Dios es capaz de rehacer su creación
perfeccionando lo que nosotros con nuestros pecados
hemos deformado. Al comienzo de este evangelio Jesús
nos da la clave de este texto: Jesús nombra a Dios Padre
y Señor del cielo y de la tierra. ¿Reconoces al Padre como
el Señor de tu vida? . Los humanos divinizamos con
mucha facilidad a personas, a nuevas ideologías, etc. pero
uno sólo es el Señor que puede llenar nuestros corazones.
¿A quiénes has divinizado en tu vida? ¿Quién te ha
robado el corazón?
El motivo por el que alaba a Dios Padre es: Porque
ocultaste estas cosas a los sabios y entendidos, y las
revelaste a los sencillos. Las cosas son el mensaje del
reino de Dios. ¿Sabes acoger el mensaje de salvación con
sencillez? Una persona puede ser un intelectual en las
cosas del mundo y, sin embargo, ser un perfecto
ignorante, indiferente y equivocado sobre los misterios
de Dios.
