Reflections on the Readings
We usually take pride in our family name as we recall our
ancestors and our history. The love we have for those who
gave us life means that we seek to enhance, rather than
tarnish, the family name. Today’s readings reflect on family
legacies and obligations. All believers must act upon their
name -- “Christian” -- and bring honor to their Christian
family.
The first part of the Deuteronomy passage is a study in
biblical theme of election. Moses asks the people of Israel to
review their history from the moment of creation to recent
happenings. People would have thought immediately about
the Exodus, about the covenant on Mount Sinai. Even one or
two moments’ thought would clearly indicate God’s great
love for Israel. In light of this love the chosen people must
give honor to their family heritage. They must acknowledge
no other God. They must obey Yahweh’s commandments.
In the selection from Romans, Paul defines a Christian as
one led by the Spirit. As Christians we are God’s adopted
children. This status entitles us to address God with the
same word Jesus used, namely, “Abba.” this Aramaic word
means “father” in a most intimate way. “Dad” or “Daddy” are
closer translations.
Like Jesus, Christians are intimate heirs of God called to act
on behalf of family. In the final scene from his gospel,
Matthew announces Jesus’ exaltation -- his full authority
over the entire universe. Next he has Jesus commission the
Eleven (Judas had been the twelfth and will soon be
replaced). This commissioning involves three stages: making
disciples, baptizing, and teaching. Finally Jesus reassures
the Eleven of his abiding presence. The disciples enjoy an
intimate family relationship with Jesus.
Baptism is an awesome responsibility. By being baptized in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
we become intimate members of God’s family. Baptism is a
bond not only with other baptized people but also with the
nonbapitzed as well. Everything we do on a daily basis tests
how well we live up to this responsibility. Ours is a call to
give honor and glory to the name and family that are our
Christian faith.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our next

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In solidarity with all the dioceses throughout our great
nation, we will be observing the fortnight for Freedom
from June 21 - July 4, 2015. The theme chosen by the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for this
fourth annual Fortnight is Freedom to Bear Witness.
As Catholics, that freedom celebrates the liberty
afforded by our Catholic Faith in the sanctity of
human life, the freedom of conscience, as well as our
beliefs with respect to healthcare, immigration,
marriage and many other humanitarian concerns.
As we pray for Our Lord’s guidance and protection of
this gift of freedom I invite you to join me for Mass on
Thursday June 25. 2015 at Saint Joseph Catholic
Church in Raleigh, beginning at 6:00pm. The Mass
will be followed by a picnic, hosted by the Knights of
Columbus, on the parish grounds.
Sincerely in Christ,
Michael F. Burbidge
Most Reverend Michael F. Burbidge
Bishop of Raleigh

DOMINGO DE LA SANTISIMA TRINIDAD
La fiesta de hoy nos sitúa ante el misterio de Dios y
nos invita a revisar nuestra imagen de Dios y a
proclamar nuestra fe.
Por boca de San Juan podemos definir al Dios de
Jesús diciendo: DIOS ES AMOR. Y ese amor es como
el de un Padre bueno que se preocupa por cada uno
de nosotros, que nos cuida y nos atiende. Que todas
nuestras cosas para El son importantes porque solo
quiere que seamos felices, que nos sintamos
acompañados, que tengamos su apoyo y fortaleza.
Quiere que seamos hermanos de todos los hombres,
que también son sus hijos.
INFORMACION
Para saber acerca de preguntas sobre
inmigración llamen a la Madre
Rosanne al teléfono 910-616-2105.
La Madre atiende todos los domingos
después de la misa de las 9:30 de la
mañana en las oficinas del Centro Pastoral.
Si creemos que Dios es Amor, Él nos pide que
estemos dispuestos a perdonar, a comprender, a
disculpar, a ser tolerantes y comprensivos. Quiere
que, como El, tengamos entrañas de misericordia y
seamos sensibles a los sufrimientos de los más pobres
y los más débiles. Quiere que busquemos la justicia, la
unidad y la paz.
El Amor de Dios hacia nosotros llego a la plenitud por
la efusión de su Espíritu, que es fuego en las noches
de frio, que ilumina la oscuridad, fortalece nuestra
debilidad y nos llena de abundantes dones.
Al celebrar la fiesta de la Trinidad proclamamos
nuestra fe en el Dios de Jesús, que es el único y
verdadero. Y a la vez reconocemos la necesidad de
renovar nuestra imagen de Dios tan
anquilosada,
llena de polvo y envejecida por la rutina de nuestro
vivir cristiano y las limitaciones de nuestra condición
humana.
Cuando recitamos el Credo todos los domingos,
decimos que creemos en un Dios que se hizo hombre
para estar más cerca de nosotros. Creemos en un
Dios que nos regaló su Espíritu. Que habita en
nosotros y nos ensena y nos ayuda a amar como El
ama.
‘Pidámosle al Señor que cada vez que nombremos al
Padre, al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo, pensemos que
estamos haciendo una proclamación de nuestra FE. Y
que esa proclamación nos recuerde que hemos de
amar y que nos debemos dejar amar por Dios.
