Therefore, welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. Romans 15: 7

Corpus Christi

Believe that He loves you.

He wants to help you Himself

in the struggles which you must undergo.

Let yourself be loved.

BLESSED ELIZABETH OF THE TRINITY

Our Lady Help of

Persecuted Christians . . . Created by Italian icono-

grapher Fabrizio Diomedi,

this icon depicts the Blessed

Mother, with the Child Jesus

over her heart, spreading her

protective mantle around a

representative gathering of

recent Christian martyrs—

men and women, young and

old, from East and West;

priests, religious and laypersons, including one of the six

priest-members of the Knights of Columbus who were

killed by the Mexican government in the first half of the

20th century. The four crosses represent an “ecumenism

of blood” among martyrs of Roman and Eastern Catholi-

cism, as well as those of Coptic, Armenian, Syriac and

Orthodox traditions. Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians

icon is the centerpiece of the world-wide Knights of

Columbus Marian Prayer Program and during a private

audience with the Holy Sepulchre,

Pope Francis gave it his blessing.

The Our Lady Help of Persecuted

Christians icon will arrive at

Gate of Heaven Parish on

June 16 and remain through

June 30. On Thursday, June

20, Fr. Schultz will offer the

first of two noon Masses for

Our Lady Help of Persecuted

Christians. It will be celebrated at All Saints Church in

Lancaster. On Friday, June 21, the second noon Mass

will be held at St. Matthew Church in Whitefield. The

Knights of Columbus will pass out special Our Lady Help

of Persecuted Christians before each Mass. On Monday, June

24, there will be a Mass at 6:00 p.m. at St. Agnes fol-

lowed by the Rosary. On Tuesday, June 25, the Mass will

be at 6:00 p.m. at St. Patrick Church, followed by the

Rosary.

This beautiful icon is on a pilgrimage to promote awareness

of the plight of Christians persecuted for their faith and to

stand in solidarity with them. It is a reminder that we should

pray for Mary’s intercession for protection and deliverance

from persecution for Christians in the Middle East and

around the world. Our parish has been favored with this

special visit. Please add your prayers for these intentions.

Corpus Christi Eucharistic Procession . . . Dear Parishioners,

Next weekend, Sunday, June 23, is the Solemnity of

Corpus Christi (The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ).

Immediately following the 10:30 a.m. Mass, Gate of

Heaven Parish will have a Eucharistic Procession

down Main Street in Lancaster in honor of the im-

portant Solemnity. We will process out of All Saints

Church and head to the center of Lancaster where we

will have benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

The Feast of Corpus Christi dates to the 12th century

and soon after was often accompanied by Eucharistic

processions. Please join me in this holy event where

we will give witness to our faith in Our Lord’s true

presence in the Eucharist and ask him to bless us, our

parish and our land. After the procession, Izabela

Southworth has graciously agreed to put on a lunch-

eon in All Saints church hall. I am sure she would

appreciate any help you could offer!

In Jesus and Mary,

Fr. Schultz

Coffee and Conversation . . . For those of you who just can’t

wait for that morning cup of cof-

fee and the sweetness that goes

with it, you are welcome to stop in

following the 7:00 a.m. Mass at St.

Patrick in Twin Mountain or the

8:30 a.m. Mass at St. Agnes in Jefferson. Every Sunday

morning downstairs in the church hall you can fill up on

coffee, donuts and other incredibly delicious items these

early morning teams cook up for you! Could be coffee

cake, could be quiche! Just join us downstairs Sunday

mornings for coffee, food and casual visiting with friends!

BLESSED ELIZABETH OF THE TRINITY

On behalf of Deacon

Mike and myself, I

would like to sincerely

thank all those who

planned and executed

last week’s festivities

at Our Lady of the

Mountains Shrine. In particular, I would like

to thank the Vocations Ministry team who did

so much of the work! Thank you! It was a

beautiful and grace-filled event and I was

especially blessed that my good parents were

in attendance as well! Thank you, dear parish-

ioners, for all of your support and especially

for your prayers. It has made this last year

such a blessing. May the Good Lord reward

and bless you for your kindness. Fr. Schultz

Vocation Ministry Meeting . . . Tuesday, June 18, there will be a meeting of

the Vocation Ministry at 6:30 p.m. in the St.

Weekly Readings The Holy Trinity, June 16, 2019 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Proverbs 8: 22-31 / Psalm 8: 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 / Romans 5: 1-5 / John 16: 12-15

“The love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to

us.” With these words, St. Paul captures the essence of this solemnity and shows that the path to

understand the Trinity is through the experience of love. At the heart of God is a bond of love among

the Father, Son and Spirit. God’s love is communicated through the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Each of the readings today offers an insight into the life of the Trinity. While the precision of the Trin-

itarian language will only come to completion in later centuries, the foundation for this belief is evident

in today’s readings. In the Book of Proverbs God the Creator brings all things into being through his

wisdom like a master ‘craftsman.” The imagery of wisdom “playing before God” conveys God’s joy, excitement, and love over

his creation.

Paul’s letter to the Romans captures the essence of our Catholic faith by stressing that it is through our Lord Jesus Christ that we

have been justified and have been brought into a relationship of peace with God. God’s love for us is poured into us through the

Holy Spirit.

“Everything that the Father has is mine,” Jesus says in the Gospel. “The Spirit of truth” will take from what is Jesus’ and com-

municate it to his followers. The Trinity is a communion of love: God’s love comes to us from the Father through his Son Jesus

and is communicated to us in the Holy Spirit. The Church professed these New Testament thoughts at the Council of Constanti-

nople II: ‘one God and Father from whom all things are, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and one Holy

Spirit in whom all things are” (DS, 421)

1.) If the Father, Son and Spirit are in a communion of love, what is our relationship to be to all of humankind?

2.) How does the concept of love guide you toward understanding the mystery of the Holy Trinity?

3.) Which Person of the Trinity do you relate to the most often?

Sanctuary Candle During the month of June the sanctu-

ary candle in all Saints Church will burn

in loving memory of all deceased

members of the Tabernacle Society

as requested by the TABS. At St. Agnes

Church the sanctuary candle will burn

in loving memory of Daniel Stiles as

requested by Don & Sandra Doolan.

Catholic Charities Appeal . . . Our annual Catholic Charities Appeal is in full swing. If

you would like to make a pledge or a donation to the

work that is being done in our community, you can find

an envelope at the entrances of the church. Your contri-

bution toward this wonderful Catholic organization helps

so many folks in our own back yard. We thank you for

your continued support throughout the years, and for

your gift toward this year’s appeal. Thank you.

Catholic Women’s Group . . . The Catholic Women’s Group will hold its monthly meet-

ing on Tuesday, June 25, at 6:00 p.m. in the rectory at St.

Matthew. We would love to have the women of the parish

join us. You are all most welcome!
