V TROEDINEM BOGU
Zgodovina krščanske umetnosti nam večkrat posreduje podobe največje krščanske skrivnosti troedinega Boga. Teologije vseh časov krščanstva so poskušale približevati tisto bivanje človeka, ki se porodi ob krstu »v imenu Očeta in Sina in Svetega Duha«. V to neizrekljivo skrivnost troedinega Boga smo, dobesedno, potopljeni že po svojem rojstvu, bivanju, krstu, rasti, pričakovanju.
Začetek vsake prave vere je spoštljivi padec na kolena, molk, češčenje, molitev, kakor nam govori primer prvih očakov vere Abrahama in Mojzesa. »Tedaj je Abraham padel na svoje obličje in Bog je govoril z njim« (1 Mz 17,3). Za Mojzesa pa je rečeno. »Tedaj si je Mojzes zakril obraz« (2 Mz 3,6). Bogu se približujemo najprej skozi »tihi val zrenja«, ki naj bi nas osvobodil številnih varljivih prividov in utvar.
Vse vere govorijo o Bogu. Posebnost naše krščanske vere je, da verujemo v razodetega troedinega Boga Očeta in Sina in Svetega Duha. Bog je polnost življenja. Že v davnih časih je Tertulijan izrekel prispodobo: »Oče je kot skrita korenina, Sin kot iz nje rastoče deblo, in Duh kot pretakajoči se sok.« Iz večne tišine Očeta izhaja Beseda, ki izpoveduje resnico Duha. Bog je tako troedini. Kar pomeni, da Bog ni neka v sebi mirujoča resničnost, marveč nenehno tekoča življenjska, ljubezenska polnost. V to božjo resničnost življenja pa smo tudi mi vraščeni!
Verovati v troedinega Boga ne pomeni mučiti se z raznimi predstavami o božjih osebah, marveč vcepiti rast svojega bitja v božje, troedino življenje samo. Kaj pomeni verovati v Boga? Sv. Avguštin odgovarja: »Verujoč ga ljubiti in postati njegovi prijatelji, verujoč vstopiti v njegovo intimo ter se utelesiti v njegove ude (Cerkev). Verovati v Boga pomeni torej težiti k njemu, napotiti se vsakega dne k njemu, dokler se z njim ne združimo, z ognjem ljubezni. Bližati se pomeni verovati: kdor veruje, se približuje, kdor ne veruje, se oddaljuje. Duša ne potuje z nogami, marveč z občutjem srca.«
V soboto, 26. maja 2012 smo po večerni maši s članicami Slomškovega oltarnega društva blagoslovili prenovljeno kapelo in sprejeli tudi novo članico Jožico Erzar. Nato so se članice zbrale še na zaključnem družabnem srečanju.
V soboto, 26. maja popoldne sta zakrament prejeli sestri Bailey Amber Lynn Titley in Skylar Amanda Lynn Titley. Pri krstu so sodelovale tudi dekleta iz »Girls Club«, ker je Skylar tudi članica te skupine. Iskrene čestitke obema.

Sunday's Readings
The Most Holy Trinity
First Reading Deuteronomy 4:32-34. 39-40
From the beginning of time God the creator of all has loved his people and cared for them; they, in turn, are called to respond in love by keeping God's laws and commandments.
Second Reading Romans 8:14-17
The Holy Spirit unites us to Christ as part of his mystical body and through him to the Father who for us is "Abba" - the familiar, loving word used by children for their father.
Gospel Matthew 28:16-20
The apostolic Church receives the commission from Christ to baptise in the name of the Trinity and to evangelise beyond the confines of Israel.
'The Spirit himself and our spirit bear united witness that we are children of God.
Gospel Teaching
Since the seventeenth century, the Piazza di Spagna in Rome has been a place where tourists have converged and where artists, musicians and writers have stayed, notably the English poet John Keats, who lived there for some months until his death in 1821, aged twenty-five, at what is now the Keats-Shelley Memorial House.
Equally well known are the Spanish Steps, which one can ascend from the Piazza. At all times of the year they attract great crowds but especially in the early summer when azaleas are displayed in
a glorious array of colour. The steps date from the eighteenth century and were designed by Francesco de Sanctis. Not many people today would attach any religious meaning to them. However, they are divided into three flights and three landings, not simply for aesthetic or structural reasons, but because the architect wanted to draw attention to the fact that they lead up to the Church of the Holy Trinity (Trinita dei Monti), a church that has stood at the top of the hill since long before the steps were built. It was an ingenious way of communicating the Christian belief in the oneness of God in whom there are three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Gospel Teaching
The Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith and the source of all other mysteries of faith yet, not surprisingly, it is perhaps the most difficult to communicate, for it deals with the inner life of God, the mystery of who God is. Even the apostles to whom Jesus had revealed the Father, and who had witnessed Jesus' life, teaching, death and resurrection, were slow to believe. So is it any wonder that we stumble along in our efforts to approach this mystery? "How rich are the depths of God," exclaimed St Paul. Yet, as Paul said elsewhere, Christ "is the image of the unseen God".
In the Gospel today there were some who hesitated in the presence of the risen Lord. Like others in the resurrection appearances, they could not believe their eyes. They, like us, struggled to comprehend the wonder of God. Yet the early Church had no doubts about the mission it had received from Christ, namely to evangelise and baptise in the name of the Trinity.
In today's second reading St Paul rejoices in the power of the Spirit who unites us to Christ and brings us into a new relationship with the Father. The Spirit moves us to call God "Father" in the most personal and intimate way. Even our sufferings are a share in Christ's sufferings and they lead to our "inheritance" as adopted sons and daughters of the Father - that is, to a share in Christ's glory.
Application
None of this can be grasped immediately or fully as we make our pilgrimage on earth. It is as if we have to climb a stairway, take one step at a time, then rest awhile and give ourselves time to think and pray about God's relationship with us and ours with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Perhaps this is what Francesco de Sanctis had in mind when he designed the Spanish Steps with three flights and three landings.
Though John Keats now ranks among the highest in stature as a poet, he was belittled by many in the literary establishment of his day. His death in the house near the Spanish Steps was from tuberculosis and was preceded by a long period of intense suffering. In the end his faith in Christ was revived through the devoted care of his Christian friend, the painter Joseph Severn. Two years before Keats died, he wrote in a letter, "Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?"
John Keats' inspired poetry was God's gift to him. The Spirit is always at work in different ways, leading us through Christ to the Father - to the eternal vision of God.

BARAGOVI DNEVI: 21. - 24. september 2012
Kot se že seznanjeni, je škof Friderik Baraga, po zadnjem napredovanju postopka v Rimu, dobil naziv »častitljivi«. To pomeni, da se ga sedaj lahko uradno postavi in priporoči v češčenje in priprošnjo.
Letošnje naše romanje v Baragove kraje -MARQUETTE, bo od 21. do 24. septembra 2012.
Avtobus imamo rezerviran in je samo še dobrih 10 prostih mest. Te dni sta Terezija in Vera našle tudi prenočišča - letos zaradi oddaljenosti prespimo trikrat. Ker se v tistem času v Marquettu dogajajo še druge prireditve, je bilo kar težko najti hotel. Vendar tudi to nam je uspelo. Zaenkrat smo preračunali vse stroške, ki vključujejo trikratno spanje v hotelu z »Continental« zajtrkom, dva banketa in prevoz z avtobuom in vse skupaj znese po prvih izračunih približno $350. Natančno ceno bomo izvedeli, ko dobimo uradni račun iz hotela.
Kdor bi se še zanimal za to romanje, naj se čimprej prijavi Tereziji Sarjaš /905-560-1218/ ali Veri Gonza /905-560-0089/.
