May 31, 2015 - St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church
The Most Holy Trinity The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, usually shortened to Trinity Sunday, comes each year a week after Pentecost. With the coming of the Holy Spirit, God’s revelation of himself was complete. It is the one feast that celebrates God’s own divine being The apostles and the other first Christians were Jewish, like Jesus himself, and held fast to the Old Testament revelation that there is only one God. But they also came to know that Jesus was more than just an amazing leader. They realized that he was God in human form, and that realization was sealed by his Resurrection. And when the Holy Spirit came upon them after the Ascension, they recognized that God was still working among them, even though Jesus had gone to heaven. There had been hints of the Trinity throughout Jesus’ earthly ministry. He had referred to God as his Father, with whom he is united but still distinct. He had taught about the Holy Spirit, who would be with his followers as a personal agent, not just as a force. The union was clearly in evidence at Jesus’ Baptism, when the Father announced that Jesus is his Son, and the Holy Spirit descended to strengthen him. St. Athanasius, who lived in the 300s, said “We acknowledge the Trinity, Holy and perfect, to consist of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is a wholly creative and energizing reality, self confident and undivided in its active power. Accordingly, in the Church, one God is preached, one God who is above all things and through all things and in all things.” The mystery of the Holy Trinity is for most of us beyond our comprehension. How can there be three separate entities; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - yet all be the same God? Because it is difficult for us to fully grasp, this is a basic part of our Catholic faith. You may recall that St. Patrick explained it to the Irish by holding up a shamrock, which had three leaves. He pointed out that there were three distinct leaves, but only one shamrock. God is three Persons in one nature. To sum it up, the three persons of God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; are all equally God, and they cannot be divided. “Go . . . and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19 May 31, 2015 The Most Holy Trinity The Most Holy Trinity Page 2 May 31, 2015 PARISH INFORMATION MASS SCHEDULE PARISH SERVICES SUNDAY MASSES Saturday: Vigil Mass 5:30PM Sunday: 7:00AM, 8:30AM, 10:00AM, 11:30AM 1:00PM en Español, 5:00PM (Life Teen) 7:00PM em Português WEEKDAY MASSES Monday - Friday: 7:30AM & 6:00PM Saturday: 8:30AM ext. 259 ANOINTING OF THE SICK First Monday of the month immediately after the 6:00PM daily Mass.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is also known as the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, which translates from Latin to "Body of Christ." This feast originated in France in the mid-thirteenth century and was extended to the whole Church by Pope Urban IV in 1264. This feast calls us to focus on two manifestations of the Body of Christ, the Holy Eucharist and the Church. As Catholics, we believe that the historical event of Jesus' Last Supper, described in each of the four Gospels, is one of the greatest mysteries of our holy faith. During that evening, the Lord Jesus, while he ate with his disciples, took bread, blessed it, broke the bread and gave it to them saying: “Take; this is my body”. He then took the cup, gave thanks and gave it to them. And all drank from it. “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many”. The doctrine of the solemn feast of Corpus Christi is expressed in these purposes: 1) to give God collective thanks for Christ’s abiding presence with us in the Eucharist and to honor him there; 2) to instruct the people in the mystery, faith and devotion surrounding the Eucharist; and 3) to teach us to appreciate and make use of the great gift of the Holy Eucharist, both as a sacrament and as a sacrifice. The Feast of Corpus Christi is commonly used as an opportunity for public Eucharistic processions, which serves as a sign of common faith and adoration. Our worship of Jesus in His Body and Blood calls us to offer to God our Father a pledge of undivided love and an offering of ourselves to the service of others. We invite you to join us on Sunday, June 7 for a special procession before the 10:00AM Mass. We hope you can join us in our special celebration of God’s greatest gift to us. Father’s Day Novena On the nine days following Father’s Day, living and deceased fathers will be remembered during our weekday 7:30AM daily Mass, Saturday 8:30AM daily Mass and 7:00AM Sunday Mass. To include a name in the novena, special novena packets are available in the church vestibule and includes a card you can send to your loved one. You can also fill out the Father’s Day envelope in your monthly collection mailing. Please return your envelope and monetary donation in the offertory or to the parish office. All envelopes will be placed under the altar for the duration of the novena. Archbishop’s Annual Appeal 2015 Thank you to all of our parishioners who have donated to the 2015 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal. This year, the theme of the Appeal is, “All this I Do For The Sake Of The Gospel.” As Catholics, we are called to give of ourselves to help spread the good news of the Gospel. A monetary donation is a concrete way to act in gratitude and to help bring heaven down to earth for those right here in our diocese and in our own parish. Your gifts to the Appeal not only fund the operations of the Archdiocese, it also funds services that are of great help to the ministries here in our parish. After we reach our Annual Appeal goal of $190,800, the archdiocese returns 100% of any overage back to our parish. To participate, please pick up a pledge card in the church or at the parish office or visit our website.

Para eles, o mundo material era uma criação de Lúcifer, por isso os “purificados” deviam viver uma vida distante deste mundo. A castidade era símbolo de pureza – inclusive para os casados. Eles negavam o matrimônio, a hierarquia eclesiástica e a encarnação de Jesus. Diziam que era impossível que Jesus tivesse tido um corpo material. Consequentemente, negavam a presença de Jesus na Eucaristia: diziam que era um símbolo, porque era matéria. Este grupo andava de cidade em cidade, fazendo fervorosas pregações. A cidade de Albi , na França, se tornou uma cidade de “puros”. A igreja ficou muito abalada nesta epoca. Em 1192 nasce Juliana de Liège na Bélgica. Aos cinco anos tornou-se órfã dos pais, passando a ser criada no mosteiro de Monte Cornillon. Aos 17 anos, começou a ter 'visões', exigindo da Igreja uma festa anual para agradecer o sacramento da Eucaristia. Com 38 anos, confidenciou esse segredo ao arcediago de Liège, que 31 anos depois, por três anos, se tornaria o Papa Urbano IV (1261-1264). Quando se tornou papa, sabia da sinceridade do pedido da Irmã Juliana, mas sabia que se ele fizesse o que ela estava pedindo, possivelmente, ocorreria uma cisão na igreja. Então pediu que Deus enviasse uma resposta do céu. Nesta mesma epoca, numa cidade da Alemanha chamada Boema, havia um padre chamado Pedro de Praga que começou também a ter dúvidas sobre a presença real de Jesus na hóstia consagrada. Para sair desta dúvida decidiu ir até Roma em peregrinação na certeza de que lá Deus iria lhe dar a graça da resposta: “É no coração da Igreja que está a verdade”! Em seu caminho parou na cidade de Bonsena – Itália - e logo de manhã ele foi celebrar a Eucaristia. Quando chegou na hora da consagração – no momento da elevação da hóstia – gotas grossas de sangue começaram a cair. O corporal ficou ensanguentado. Ainda hoje as marcas podem ser vistas porque ficaram impregnadas no mármore. O papa enviou um bispo e este pegou a hóstia e o corporal para levar a ele. Enquanto isso, o papa Urbano IV também foi ao encontro do que havia acontecido. Os dois ( o bispo e o papa se encontraram no caminho, sobre uma ponte chamada ponte do sol. Quando o papa viu, imediatamente se ajoelhou e reconheceu o sinal do céu que ele havia pedido. Disse: “Corpus Christi” – “Aqui está o Corpo de Cristo!” Em 11 de agosto de 1264, o papa instituiu a Festa de Corpus Christi na quinta feira após a Festa da Santíssima Trindade, como Jesus havia pedido a beata Juliana.
