The Most Holy Trinity June 7, 2020

for members of our Collaborative who are ill,

remembering especially: Carmen, Karen, Ben, Kip, Chrissy, Jeremiah, Sandy,

Christopher, Kim, Paula, Fred, Bernie, James, Gretchen, David, Luke, Alice, John, P.J., Harry,

Maryellen and Jane

Please continue to keep all those affected by the coronavirus, their families, and our health care workers in your prayers.

KINDLY REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS

David L. Morton, Jr. Frances Campana Gilbert Parmele

Please remember the members of our Collaborative who have gone home to God. May their souls, and the souls of all our faithful departed share in the fullness

of life and peace with God.

I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me

and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me. (Jn 17:20-23)

I can’t celebrate Trinity Sunday without thinking of our beloved Fr. Connelly. Having retired as pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Newton at the age of 90, he has been our senior priest in residence for the last seven years and what a blessing he has been to all of us! You see, back in the late 1980s, Fr. Connelly taught the theology of the Holy Trinity to my classmates and me as he had to generations of seminarians before us. I am hesitant to wade into the treacherous waters of Trinitarian theology with such an august scholar in my own household. The language used to describe the relationship among the three persons of the Blessed Trinity can be mind-bending. How do you describe God, a Trinity of persons, without getting in over your head? Even the greatest scholars would acknowledge that we are using words to describe what remains to us a mystery. We can never fully understand God. We can gain some insight into the mystery of the Trin-ity by thinking of it as a relationship of love within the Godhead. Furthermore, the Triune God dwells within us as believers and our relationship with each other is meant to reflect the love and unity of the Trinity. This has great implications for how we see each other. Do we truly see each person as made in the image and like-ness of God? Do we see the Triune God dwelling in each person we encounter? More than 30 years ago, my sister, then a college sen-ior, told me that she was going to have a baby. In

1985, this was a crisis for her, my parents and our whole family. The father of the baby, who would later become her husband, was African American. My sister never doubted the preciousness of the child in her womb and there was no question that her child, despite the chal-lenges, would be embraced as a gift from God. During her pregnancy, she was shopping with a friend at a local suburban shopping mall. They were looking for a restroom when they came upon a clerk at one of the stores. He invited them to use the restroom in the store. As he said, “You don’t want to use the public restroom. That’s the one all the ni—ers use.” With one vicious word, the precious child within my sister’s womb, the one she cherished, who was part of her, had been reduced to…the N word. And that is exactly what we witnessed as George Floyd was murdered before our eyes. George Floyd, a man made in the image and like-ness of God, was reduced… to the N word. I cannot pretend to understand the anguish and pain of our brothers and sisters of color in this excruciating moment of reckoning in our national psyche. Odessa Sanchez, a beloved member of our collaborative and an African American woman, has shared some of her own reflections that you can find in the bulletin and on our blog. Let’s listen to her words with hearts open to learn-ing from the experience of another. No one of us can eliminate the scourge of racism and hatred from our so-ciety. But we can, by all we say and all we do, stand for the inherent dignity of each human person as made in the image and likeness of God. We can, by our lives as faithful disciples of Jesus, bring a bit more light and a bit more love into the world. With this begins the healing. As Dr. Martin Luther King so poignantly said, Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate

cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Yours in Christ, Fr. Jim

St. John - St. Paul Collaborative

Religious Education registration for the 2020-2021 academic year will be starting soon across the Collaborative. We will be emailing families in the coming

weeks about the program and the process. If you are new to St. John or St. Paul and/or have a rising first grader please be sure to get on our email list by emailing Linda at [email protected].

As a Catholic community this week our hearts are heavy hav-ing witnessed the brutal murder of George Floyd. Catholics of color are devastated, terrified, and exhausted by the contin-ued systemic, institutional, and implicit racism in the United States and even at times in our own Catholic Church. White Catholics scramble to find the words to provide sup-port for people of color. They are ill-equipped for a national conversation that must happen in order to ally with people of color, to amplify their thoughts and ideas, and to ensure they are heard in their own voice. This week we have the privilege of sharing some thoughts from Odessa Sanchez, who was an RCIA Candidate two years ago. She and her beautiful family continue to bring Christ's light to our Collaborative. Odessa was generous enough to share her perspective with us:

I'm hurting for myself and my black people. I worry about my black children, everyday, but today it's harder to rest and not treat each day with dread.

As for my own family, we worship God and share the Catholic religion, so our faith will always bring me a sense of comfort. I feel wel-comed and at home every time I step into St. John or

St. Paul. I feel safe within the walls of my church. However I do not always feel safe from racism or violence against my race outside of church. If my son chose to run instead of walk from our house to his evening youth Mass, I would worry that a passersby who doesn't recognize him may question his behavior.

Yes we talk about race and being stopped by police in Wellesley, all the time. I am friendly with a few officers who admit that they hope they are the one who encounters my son, if the occasion was to

arise, because they "know he's a good kid ". Imagine my fear if he were to be confused for a "bad kid".

This subject is really hard to speak about.

Living here is harder than other places because we do have so many familiar faces that do not treat us badly so it's unclear how to express emotions regarding systematic racism. I don't want to send the wrong message or offend anyone so most times I stay si-lent. I will admit there is a great fear that my fellow Wellesley friends would look the other way if I was being treated unfairly due to fear of standing up to racism.

Many liturgies make me daydream and consider how it relates to racism in modern life. When Jesus was arrested, one of the disci-ples struck the temple men with a knife. Jesus scolded him and told his followers to not resist his arrest. Jesus was lead to trial and then crucified. I took from this story that Jesus must have felt so good that his friend was willing to get himself in trouble over him. I don't advocate violence, but I would sure feel good to know a neighbor would risk themselves for me if I was being unfairly arrested.

I was asked what my friends can do? Pray, a lot. Just like I am. Understand what black people are going through. The constant scrutiny based on our skin. We are watched and judged more than any other race in this town. Think about how a situation would differ if the race was swapped out. Speak up about racism when you encounter it or witness it. Don't stand by and be silent. Let a black person know you’re willing to risk yourself to save someone.

I'm not sure how to change this world. I'm trying to get through this best I can. I teach my children and I teach my friends. I speak out loud and I listen.

We will pray, Odessa. We will pray for justice for the victims of racism in all its forms, but particularly, lethal. We stand in solidarity with them as Catholic Christians and as brothers and sisters in Christ. We are one body, and have a responsi-bility to stand up against the sin of racism.

Odessa and her family at her Confirmation a few years ago.

Laudato Si’ means Praise Be! Come Holy Spirit ~ help us renew the face of the earth! Planting seeds of

Hope and healing for God's creation of life and earth. Live simply so others may simply live! Stay tuned for more information on how we can implement the second encyclical of Pope Francis.
