MONSIGNOR’S SABBATICAL—PART IV Modern Israel is a thriving, tense and deeply religious place. When one talks about Jerusalem all the above needs to be underlined. Whenever in the Tantur program we had questions about the modern situation in that city and country, we heard one word over and over again: complicated. Take public transit for instance. Jerusalem has two main companies of buses: Arab and Israeli. Arab buses go to some place (the old city and Arab East Jerusalem) and the Israeli buses go to Jewish West Jerusalem. They have different fares and different rules. The nearest grocery store to the place when I lived (the sprawling campus of Tantur) was in Bethlehem — yes that Bethlehem! Bethlehem is right next to Jerusalem but is in a different country: Palestine. To get there I had to walk 10 minutes to the Israel check point and enter another large city (it’s no longer O Little Town of Bethlehem). In Jerusalem the official language is Hebrew, while in Bethlehem it is Arabic. Luckily when I got to the grocery store they took the Israeli shekel. After my purchase I had to go to the giant wall that separates the two cities and go through the check point again. This time I had to go through a metal detector and answer questions as to why I went to Bethlehem. There are guards all around with machine guns! Once past the checkpoint I walked to Tantur — all for a tube of toothpaste! Complicated!!! This tension was brought home to me one day in the Arab quarter of the Old City. I was walking in the crowded and narrow streets filled with Arab men, women and children. Walking towards me in the middle of this colorful Arabian tumult was a lone Jew dressed all in black. He was about 18. As he got to within a foot of me someone behind him pushed him very hard hoping to know him down. Instead, he collided with me and angrily turned around to fight. Everyone froze. Shopkeepers looked terrified. The Israeli soldiers all around the street lifted their machine guns. I would love to report that I reacted in a Christian way and helped bring peace. Unfortunately, my Brooklyn upbringing kicked in and, with clenched fists, I was ready to fight. Luckily some shopkeepers intervened and spirited the offending Palestinian into a nearby shop. Things went back to normal as quickly as they erupted. This was a small incident but it spoke so clearly of the amount of peace work that needs to be done in that holiest of all cities.

No applications will be accepted prior to this date. The book for the 2015 Memorials will be opening on Monday, June 30 My name is Francisco Javier Hernandez Anguiano. I was born on September 16th in the city of Puebla, Mexico. I lived my childhood in Atlixco, south of Puebla. My parents, Rosalia and Manuel, always taught me humility and the desire to overcome any obstacle in life. Their teachings were very important to me growing up. I am the fifth of six children, two sisters and three brothers. In my family, love and respect towards one another have always been very important parts of life. My youth was the most beautiful and important stage of my life. At a very young age, I met the one and only love of my life, Juana, my wife with whom I live to this very day. I thank God for having brought us together. I was educated in a Catholic elementary school. It was a very important period of my life because I learned about God, and I learned how to live with God. I thank my parents, family, and teachers who always advised and guided me to serve and love God. My higher education concluded in the trade school Tecnológico – Industrial (Industrial Technology). I graduated as a technician, a trade that allowed me to work. Arriving in this country, I always had to face many obstacles. I had to go overcome them. I knew that winning in life was not easy. I have always had the inclination to help the needy. I could feel their many spiritual needs. Upon learning about the diaconal service, I felt a great inclination to be a part of the evangelization. It is my desire to serve the community. Today I am filled with joy to know that I've been able to achieve my dream of being an ordained Deacon to serve my church with humility and patience for the Glory of God. FRANCISCO JAVIER H. Mi nombre Francisco Javier Hernández Anguiano, naci un 16 de septiembre en la Ciudad de Puebla, que pertenece a México, mi niñez la viví en un lugar llamado Atlixco al sur de Puebla fue muy importante porque mis padres de nombre Rosalía y Manuel me inculcaron siempre la humildad y el deseo de superar cualquier obstáculo en la vida. Soy el quinto hermano de seis, dos hermanas y cuatro hombres, mi familia siempre ha sido, primordial, el amor familiar y el respeto que se tenían, mi escolaridad primaria la curse en una escuela Católica que fue un punto importante para estar con DIOS, y que agradezco a mis padres y maestros y familiares que siempre me aconsejaron y guiaron para poder servir y amar a DIOS. Mi juventud fue la etapa Más hermosa de mi vida e importante porque desde muy joven conocí el amor de mi vida y el único del cual hasta mis días vivo con ella que es Juana, y le doy gracias a Dios por haberla conocido. Mis estudios superiores se concluyeron con el bachillerato Tecnológico - Industrial, el cual me formo como uno técnicos del instituto del cual aproveche para poder trabajar. Al llegar a este país siempre tuve muchos obstáculos que tuve que ir venciendo y supe que la vida no era fácil, siempre tuve inclinación para ayudar al necesitado y que pude palpar muchas necesidades espirituales, al ver el servicio Diaconal sentí una gran inclinación y servicio a la Evangelización de la comunidad. Hoy me lleno de alegría el saber que e podido terminar uno de mis sueños el poder ordenarme como Diacono y servir a mi iglesia con humildad y paciencia para la gloria de DIOS. FRANCISCO JAVIER H. SAVE THE DATE CELEBRATING 90 YEARS OF FAITH! The 2014 New Year ushers in the 90th Anniversary year for Immaculate Conception Church. It was on October 4, 1924 when Fr. Michael D.

LIFE IN THE TRINITY The name of the Trinity is, without a doubt, the most familiar sacred name to us. We speak it every time we make the sign of the cross, and it forms the heart of our Creed. Trinity Sunday is a good day, however, to stop and reflect on the unique role of each of the three persons we name so often in the Trinity and in our own lives. When we celebrate the Eucharist on Sunday, we come together as the Body of Christ through our baptism, and through the power of the Holy Spirit we offer the whole prayer of the Mass to God the Father. This presence of the Trinity does not stop when we leave church on Sunday. We are—always and everywhere— members of the Body, and everything we do as members of that Body is empowered by the Holy Spirit, all of it offered to the glory of our loving Father. Take a moment each day this week to reflect on how the persons of the Trinity were present to you during the day, and how other people came to see the presence of the Trinity in your witness to the Good News. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The liturgy seems reluctant to return to Ordinary Time from the joys of Easter, and so the festivities extend to today’s celebration of the mystery of God’s relationship to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Gospel today centers the question of our relationship with God in the struggle of Nathaniel to believe that it is possible to experience “rebirth” in the Spirit. The answer of Jesus is that God’s response to the messes of this world is the mystery of saving love in Jesus Christ and the outpouring of an empowering Spirit. Western church architecture often tops a church building with a spire, indicating humanity’s reach to a transcendent God. The Eastern Church responds with onion-shaped domes, indicating the Spirit’s being poured down upon humanity precisely at this locale, the gathering of the faithful for the Divine Liturgy. This familiar design encodes a great mystery: here, at the Lord’s table, we experience the outpouring of the Spirit for the life of the world. Nathaniel came to Jesus by night, since he was still working out the meaning of his life. A life attuned to the inner life of the Trinity must always be given to the light of day. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co HOLY TRINITY The Father is my trust, the Son is my refuge, the Holy Spirit is my protection. O holy Trinity, glory to Thee. —Byzantine Horologion, Troparion at Nocturns, sixth century .
