GOOD nEWSt Most lloly'IriniU $) De uteronomy 4 :32-34, 3944 Romans 8:11-17; Mattluw 28:16-20

Christian iconography commonly represents the Godhead as a triangle with the all-seeing eye in the center, often with rays of glory flooding forth. Yet, in a fresco painted for Pope Julius Raphael chooses to make it much more personal, more real.

He depicts the three persons of the Trinity.

ll,

God is not merely an idea, a first principle, or a mental criteria for moral choosing, but three real divine persons, each one active in your life^ A triune God, an eternal explosion of love in which the Father begins by creating you; the Son continues by saving you; and the Holy Spirii consumes their love by inspiring and sanctifying you.

Although allthings change, God never changes. He is still, the point of the pendulum from which all things hang and are supported. He wisely governs with his one hand lifted in authoritative and assuring purpose. ln his other hand, the sphere of the world rests secure. His decisions are not arbitrary, swayed by public opinion, motivated by lnsecurity needing affirmation. He is who is. lt is we who need him and not the other way around.

or

Yet, his absolute authority doesn't convert him into an aloof despot. God lovingly takes interes: in everything! Nothing is unimportant--frorn the greatest things on earth to the smallest minutiae of my day. lf it is important to me, it is important to him, and his providential hand keeps it all in

Reading

I - Deuteronomy

Moses gave the {rhildren of Israel "decrees and laws" to make them into a living people. God entrusted His law to them on Mt. Horeb as a sigr: of His covenant. Israel is called to remain faithful lvhatever happens.

II - Romans 8: I"4-17

The Spirit makes us children of God. And Paui states that we are heirs with Christ. This means that all that the Son shares with the Father has now been bequeathed to us as rvell.

Pope Francis, Address to Participants in the Plenary ofthe Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and ltinerant People, May 2.i, 2013

Refugees are individuals who have fled their countries

of

origin and who meet the United Nations' criteria of having

a

"well-founcjed fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular sociai group,

or political opinion." Currently, global displacement is rampant with approximately 65.3 million people around the world that have been forced out of their homes

- with

an

estimated 34,000 people displaced per day, The Catholic Church in the United States cares deeply about the plight of refugees around the world and advocates for and

participates in their resettlement in the United States. Read

our materials (USCCB.org)to learn more about the dynamics underlying forced migration, the Catholic Church's pc,sition on refugees and resettternent, and how you can help stand in sotidarity with refugees.

GET INVOLVED-TAKE ACTION "l would like to

Hawaii County and State government officials have asked HOPE Services Hawaiito coordinate social service providers assisting residents in Puna impacted by the lava flow. Brandee Menino, HOPE Services CEO, reported coordination as follows: For non-perishable food and water donations made to the Food Basket, lnc.

For clothing, other supplies and meals at shelter - donations made to the Salvation Army.

Agency providing rental assistance for families with minor children experiencing homelessness, at risk homeless or with a Section B voucher - refer to HOPE Services Ht. Agency providing some financial assistance - refer to Catholic Charities Hawaii.

Catholic nurses are providing assistance at shelters managed by the County Parks and Rec Dept. in partnership with the American Red Cross.

Hope Services is coordinating response for residents displaced by the eruptions who need short, medium, and long-term housing. ln the past week, HOPE Services along with the County and various business partners have worked hard to explore options for each duration of need.

Hope Services strongly encourages Catholic parishes on Hawaii lsland to lend a hand to support the immediate needs of those persons who have been displaced (meals at shelter, food and water donations, etc.). Anyone who has housing available for either, short, medium or long-term are asked to reach out to East Hawaii team lead, Teyora G raves, tg rav_es@ h o peservi cesh awa i i.o-rg o r 747-1041^ For short-term housing, soine ideas include utilizing parish space for safe oarking zones or access to shelter inside the parish.

Many evacuee$ are waiting it out, uncertain of when they can return home.

At the time of this writing, 44 stiuctures have burned down, most are homes. 22 fissures exist, with at least half a dozen actively spewing lava.

of

one Spirit.

'Ano'ai Kikou, We always say we believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church, but what does "one" really mean? Obviously God doesn't care about our race or anything else that might

determine our status to others or in society, so we're all born on the same level below God, but that just puts us all in one place... so what does it mean to actually be united into one body? We feel one with the Church when we go to mass (especially this week with Pentecost Sunday). However, if we define ourselves by our thoughts and actions, then our sense of unity isn't what

brings us to mass, it's what we carry out with us, ln other words, it's how we represent the Church as we live our daily

lives. Speaking of what we do day-to-day: * Tuesdays

ESL {English as a Second Language): Practice English conversation Tuesdays 5-5 pm

* Thursdays Bible Study: Young adults Bible study Thursdays 5-6 pm

* Second Saturday Morning Church Cleaning: Once a month, just for a couple of hours, we help clean the church from 8.30 am

We also do other things as well - please contact me if you're

interested in joining efforts on serving:

* Kaka'ako Family Shelter * Human Trafficking Victims Of course, there are also plenty of one-off projects, partnering

community organizations, and social/spiritual activities with our fellow parishes, so please sign up (emaillfacebook) for notifications, and join whenever you can. For example, currently the diocese is planning a Young Adults Summer Sports Day (c?thplir|l-?ry-?1|-q1g1Y,ASp-mmerspetrDpy)...

veryone, Jesus included, has self-knowledge-at least in principle. For example, even though we know that we are individual human beings, we still find it almost impossible to formulate what that really means. Saint Thomas Aquinas explains that our knowledge of all things is conceptual-we make abstractions, express them in concepts, and think by combining these concepts. But self-knowledge is the one exception-it is intuitive knowledge, not conceptual, and extremely difficult to formulate in concepts.

Did |esus know that he was God? Yes, intuitively. But if it's hard for us to express what we somehow sense as our basic humanity, imagine how difficult it would have been for fesus to express what he profoundly grasped
