A SOCIAL MEAL
hysical food works in us even when we don't think about it, even when we sleep it turns into flesh, blood, vital energy. Spiritual food is different: it is effective if we collaborate with Christ, who wants to transform our life into his. In the Gospel, Jesus asks his disciples to feed the crowd. He could have done it easily by himself but he wanted their participation. He wanted their five loaves of bread and two pieces of fish. percentage of participation is there in your The usual alibi: “I am poor and I have Sunday masses? Well, even if we had 100% of nothing to give” is finally refuted in this the population participating in the Mass, gesture of Jesus. Whatever little we have, does this mean that the Kingdom of God God wants it, so as to strengthen our faith advances? I don't care so much how many and that of others. people attend Mass. I care more about those The Eucharist is therefore a who come out converted and feast of collaborative faith. It SUNDAY stimulates and strengthens REFLECTION consoled, disciples who are able to lower the mystery they have relationships with God. He wants just celebrated into everyday life. us to proclaim unanimously and The Eucharist is not credible if as a ritual courageously "Here is the Lord!" If I look at myself, I always find myself small, imperfect, it remains the memory of a success two thousand years ago. Instead, it is a "school of a sinner, full of limits. But the Eucharist tells life", a proposal of love that involves my us otherwise. Jesus, in the most difficult whole life: it must make me available to love moment of his life, makes a definitive gesture: he gives himself, does not offer bread my neighbour, to the point of giving my life for others according to the example that and wine, like Melchizedek, but his own life Jesus left us. That gesture, a gesture of on the altar of the cross. It is not the bread absolute love, is celebrated and repeated that becomes Christ, but Christ who becomes bread, in order to be assimilated, to every time a community of believers gathers together with a priest. But it cannot be a nourish, to indicate a new path, a new logic, pat-on-the-shoulder activity gesture. Either that of total self-giving. Whenever people from around the world the Eucharist infects our life, it fills it, it learn that you are parish priest, two common shapes it, it informs it or it remains sterile, questions would always come up: How many dead, useless. The Mass begins just when we leave the church door. And it lasts a whole parishioners do you have? And then this week. 4 fr. francis a. tordilla leads to the crucial question: What

reflection on the solemnity of the holy trinity
ONE BUT THREE BUT ONE
W
ho is your God? For Catholics, this question seems to be a very simple question but many would have correct but incomplete answers. Answers like: my God is my saviour; my God is my creator; my God is my friend; my God is my father and protector; are correct answers, but these answers are imperfect. The most complete answer should be: “My God is the One God who is three equal and distinct persons” (cf. CFC 1326). We call our God as the “Blessed Trinity”. The name “Trinity” to refer to God was first coined by Tertullian an ancient Christian and theologian who lived around 160-225 A.D. For this Sunday we Catholics celebrate God the Son, He is the Expression of the the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinbity. love of the Father and the Holy Spirit. And The doctrine of the Blessed Trinity is as the Holy Spirit, He is the Spirit of the loftiest in Catholic faith. Every time we say love of the Father and the Son. Looking at our prayers we are reminded of it myself: to my Children, I am a father; to when we make the sign of the my wife I am a husband; to my students I cross. The doctrine of the Blessed am a teacher; to my colleagues I SUNDAY Trinity is a mystery and there has REFLECTION am a friend. I am only one been quite a long time in being as a man but I have Catholic teachings that the different relationships.
