The Most Holy Trinity
The Church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. That
oneness is mirrored for us in the Holy Trinity: one God in
three Persons. We are a diverse community with different
backgrounds, cultures, realities, and gifts, but we are truly
one. Unfortunately, we too often forget this and function as
a fractioned body. We needlessly compete against one
another, judge one another as opposed to help, and sit
silent when our brothers and sisters call out for help.
When we take seriously our stewardship way of life, we see
our lives as not truly belonging to ourselves. We want to
offer our very existence to God and the Body of Christ. If
we find that we are resistant to that fullness of generosity,
or we begin to use our gifts in a way that fractures
community, we then actively work in contrast to this mark
of the Church.
The Church that was established by Jesus and fortified by
the institution of the sacraments cannot be destroyed and
deprived of Her four marks. The human element may be
strained and injured, but not even the gates of hell will
prevail against this institution alive in the Spirit. Our actions
can either bear witness to that reality or it can bring
offense. Let us pray that enough of us will choose the holy
way so all the world may see that God is real, Jesus is
alive, and we are ONE.

Balancing Prayer and Work:
Dancing the Delicate Dance
Presenter: Michael Boover
Many of us seek to live a life that balances leisure and
labor but are hard-pressed to actually do so. This re-
treat invites participants to explore the “ins and outs” of
the spiritual life by opening to inner and outer move-
ments that may prove helpful and hopeful in the daily
round of faith. Participants will be invited to integrate
needed contemplation with blessed activism in their
particular life circumstances. !
9:15 am – 4:00 pm (Registration begins at 8:30 am) Lunch and Mass included in the program. Suggested Donation: $45 per person !

�SEASONAL REFLECTION
June 16, 2019
The Most Holy Trinity
World Refugee Day
Today, we remember the plight of millions of people across the globe displaced from their homes by war, famine, corruption, and other violence. These people are part of our human family, and their needs are Christ's needs. In Matthew 25, we see God's heavenly expectations for disciples. We are to meet Jesus in the least among us - the hungry, the thirsting, those without adequate shelter or clothing, the ill, and even the incarcerated. This shouldn't be too much of an imaginative stretch. After all, Christ himself knew what it was to be a refugee. St. Joseph took the Holy Family to Egypt, fleeing from the wrath of Herod. Jesus spent his first few years of life as a stranger in a strange land. Mary knew what it was like to navigate an unfamiliar marketplace and to be surrounded by a foreign tongue. Joseph had a practical trade but had to start from nothing all the same. Let's pray for all refugees today and to see in them our own story of faith.
The Daughters of St. Paul, will be at St. Edith Stein parish on the weekend of June 22nd and 23rd. These Media Sisters, who have their Publishing House in the Boston area, bring a wide selection of Catholic Inspirational reading, Lives of the Saints, Books for Children, Rosaries, DVD’s, Music and more! Choose something to enrich your Faith life and to share it with others! Additionally you can check out their website:www.pauline.org
