When my siblings and I were young, we had no TV; my folks did not take us to the movies, and we loved spending time at home and with our young cousins. Were we rich or poor? We did not know nor did we ever think about it: The words meant absolutely nothing to us. We never went hungry or homeless. Our best times were spent on vacation, in grandpa’s cabin in the Alps, where walking through the woods every day to the spring, to get drinking and cooking water was a adventure, and taking a bath on the terrace, in a tub of water that had been warmed by the sun was fun. We shared the “laundry facility” (two huge, connecting outdoor tubs, fed by another spring), with the village’s milk cows, taking care that the tub with the suds was clean and filled with fresh water by dusk, when the cows returned from their pasture to drink, before heading to their stables to be milked. Grandpa told us old stories, mom and dad loved us. When the pantry was low, before payday, mom improvised. Ever had “hot homemade chocolate pudding” for dinner? Yum! No radio, no refrigerator, one naked light-bulb hanging from the middle of every ceiling, and a fireplace to keep us warm in the evenings. Now, that’s happiness!
After all the Masses next weekend, July 11-12, Fr. Carlos and I will be passing out scapulars of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel to all of you who would like to have one to wear. Why do we do this? Well, the scapular is a beautiful reminder that each and every day we are ‘putting on Jesus Christ’ and placing His gentle yoke upon our shoulders. Every time that we kiss the scapular and put it on, it reminds us to give ourselves and our day to Jesus through the intercession and prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary. After an entire year, our scapulars get pretty worn out, so the month of July when we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel is a good time to pick up a new one.
As we celebrate the Fourth of July, we again give thanks to Almighty God for our beloved country. How blessed we are to live in this land of the free. Let us never cease giving God thanks for all our blessings and let us continue to pray for the USA and her people.
Our most recent financial year at Holy Trinity ran from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009. In order to meet all of our many expenses for the church and school during the past year, we needed to raise $936,000.00 through the Sunday offertory. As you can see from the Stewardship report below, we came extremely close to this amount. Many of you are in the midst of difficult financial times and I think that your generosity is truly extraordinary! I am very grateful to you because without you our parish would just not be the same. All of the wonderful things that we do at Holy Trinity are only possible through your generosity, week in and week out. God bless you for your goodness!
So many of you have made special donations to the Rocky Mountain Children’s Law Center in support of the children in Colorado who are victims of the worst forms of violence and neglect. Thank you! Your gifts have been sent on to the Law Center where they are now being put to great use to help protect God’s little ones.
