A Note from Fr. Manny
Dear St. Francis Family,
We celebrate this weekend the solemnity of
the Most Holy Trinity. Every time we make the
sign of the cross while mentioning in the name
of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, we
glorify our Triune God.
It may be difficult to comprehend and fully
understand the nature of God with the limitation of our human comprehension yet with the help of the Bible and the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, we come to believe how God loves and cares for us from the beginning of
creation down to our present generation.
Let us be aware that we are all created in the image and
likeness of God from the moment of creation “Now, let us
make man in our image and likeness.” (Gn 1:26) The word
“us” connotes plurality of person. Then Isaiah had a vision of
God calling one another “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty.” (Is 6:3) When Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan River, the voice of the Father was heard and the Spirit descended in the form of dove over the Son who was being baptized. (Mt 13:13-17), (Lk 3:21-22), (Mk 1:9-11)
There are still some biblical passages about our Blessed
Trinity. The biblical verses I quoted are some of the biblical
proofs as to how we should understand how our Trinitarian
God works as one.
May the Holy Spirit enlighten us always in our small
ways of knowing and loving God. Amen.
Fr. Manny
Querida Familia de San Francisco:
Celebramos este fin de semana la solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad. Cada vez que hacemos la señal de la cruz
mientras mencionamos en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del
Espíritu Santo, nosotros glorificamos a nuestro Dios Trino.
Puede ser difícil de comprender y entender completamente la naturaleza de Dios con la limitación de nuestra compresión humana, pero con la ayuda de la Biblia y de la iluminación del Espíritu Santo, llegamos a creer como Dios nos ama y
cuida de nosotros desde el principio de la creación hasta nuestra generación actual.
Seamos conscientes de qué hemos sido creados a imagen y
semejanza de Dios desde el momento de la creación, “Hagamos
al hombre a nuestra imagen y semejanza.” (Gén 1:26) La palabra
“nosotros” connota pluralidad de personas. Luego Isaías tuvo una
visión de Dios llamando uno a otro, “Santo, santo, santo es el Señor Todopoderoso.” (Is 6:3) Cuando Jesús fue bautizado por Juan
en el río Jordán, se oyó la voz del Padre y el Espíritu descendió en
forma de una paloma sobre el Hijo que estaba siendo bautizado.
(Mt 13:13-17), (Lc 3:21-22), (Mc 1:9-11)
Todavía hay algunos pasajes bíblicos acerca de nuestra
Santísima Trinidad. Los versículos bíblicos que he citado son
solo algunas de las pruebas bíblicas de como deberíamos entender cómo trabaja nuestro Dios Trinitario como uno solo.
Que el Espíritu Santo nos ilumine siempre en nuestras
pequeñas formas de conocer y amar a Dios.
Padre Manny
