Dear Parishioners,

These unusual times are calling for unusual responses, and one of

these is catching up with the Sacraments for those who were in the

RCIA program and the children in the sacramental preparation for

Confirmation and First Communion. You will see in the parish

calendar a number of Masses for these Sacraments because they are

only allowed 50 at each Mass. In order to allow parents, siblings and

grandparents to be present, we have to do a number of them

throughout July and August. Please pray for these children and adults

who are seeking the graces of the Holy Sacraments.

Now that I have been here a year, I am ready to reassess the office

staffing positions. Next week you will see two new positions in the

bulletin. The office of Faith Formation under the direction of Lisa

Daigle will be looking for a part time Youth Minister/Campus Minis-

ter. The person will assist Lisa in working with high school teens and

Bates students. We will also be looking for a Liaison with the

Immigrant Community. Through a grant from Catholic Charities

Maine, we were given funds to support this position and help us

connect with the Catholics who are among the immigrant community

and build greater connections. Look for a description of these

positions next week.

Because of a generous donor, we will be installing the live streaming

camera for Holy Trinity Church. What we currently have is an iPhone

and a wireless microphone, and sometimes it works and sometimes it

does not. It is great to see so many people joining us for Mass who

might not have the chance if it were not for the live streaming. It is

taking some time but we will hopefully provide more and more content

on our live streaming platform.

Peace and take care,

Fr. Daniel

St. Apollinaris, Bishop

and Martyr (July 20)��

Apollinaris, a disciple of St.

Peter, was later ordained

by Peter and sent as a

missionary Bishop to

Ravenna. He converted many people

there, including an official and his

wife, and as a result he was scourged

and sent away. He went to Bologna,

where he converted the family of a

patrician; for this, he was driven away.

He then preached in Dalmatia, until

he was again sent away. Apollinaris

returned to his See three separate

times, and each time he was tortured

and cast out again. On his fourth

return, he was recognized by a mob,

beaten, and left for dead.

St. Lawrence of Brindisi,

Priest and Doctor of the

Church (July 21)��

Lawrence, born in Italy,

entered the Capuchin

Franciscan community

when he was sixteen. At the University

of Padua, he mastered seven

languages, as well as making rapid

progress in his studies of Philosophy

and Theology. In 1598, Lawrence and

eleven other Capuchins were sent to

establish communities throughout

Germany and Austria, which, at the

time, were threatened by

Lutheranism. His holiness and

administrative ability led the Emperor,

Rudolf III, to appoint Lawrence to

organize the Catholic princes against

the invading Turks. When the

Christians were outnumbered four to

one, Lawrence himself rode before

the army with a raised crucifix, and

the Turks were repulsed. Lawrence

returned to seek seclusion in Italy,

only to find that he had been elected

Minister General of the Order. He died

in 1619 in Lisbon, Portugal.

St. James, Apostle (July 25)��

James, along with his

brother, John the

Evangelist, followed Jesus

during His Life. They were

so zealous that Jesus

called them the sons of

thunder. James was present at the

Transfiguration, and was near Christ

during His Agony in the garden. After

the dispersion of the Apostles, James

preached the Gospel in Spain before

returning to Jerusalem. Here, by order

of Herod Agrippa, James was

beheaded at Jerusalem around Easter

of the year 44. He was the first of the

Apostles to be martyred.

Maine Catholic Youth “Virtual

Convention on July 26

While we cannot gather physically for

working hard to ensure that the show

still goes on by planning a virtual

convention. To avoid virtual “fatigue,”

the CYLT team has decided to hold a

shortened, virtual convention that will

include a live-streamed Mass with

Bishop Robert Deeley on Sunday,

July 26, at 10 a.m. Details about how

the event will be experienced will be

shared soon. Please keep the team in

prayer as they continue to prepare for

this wonderful event!

The Annual Seminarian Summer Retreat

The Annual Seminarian Summer Retreat begins on July 19 to 23, of which I will be

attending. It will take place at Marie Joseph Spiritual Center in Biddeford. At the

seminarians retreat, the One who called us to be His servants is waiting to renew

our hearts, souls, and ministries.

This retreat is unique because it provides the seminarians from all over the dio-

cese to gather together and continue building relationships. This is the time for us

to reflect on what we have done and what we need to do on our journey, to become priests. We will also have time to

share our experiences about our vocation and community life in the seminary.

Please pray that we have a fruitful retreat, especially pray for our Vietnamese seminarians who are serving in the

Diocese of Portland. As you know, mastering a foreign language takes time and patience and cannot be learned in a

short time. So, as a foreigner, English can be the hardest thing for us. Community life and spiritual life are also a

challenge for us. As seminarians, the spirit of community life is very important.

Americans enjoy and focus more on the spirit of individuality. So this is a challenge for

us as Vietnamese seminarians, since we come from a Communist country.

Building friendships with other American seminarians is not always easy because of

the many duties and academic assignments that consume our time. Balancing our

studies and our prayer lives can be very difficult. Therefore, we need your continuous

prayers and support.

And so I offer this prayer:

“Oh Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding, and counsel to seminarians

that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God. Give them courage and strength to follow God's holy

will. Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions, shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their

hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God's holy service. Amen.”

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ July 19, 2020�

I haven’t found a single foolproof answer. Too many

people are walking around raw, bleeding and broken.

Others are so tightly wound that one wrong word can

make them snap.

We are not totally without guidance. The spiritual works

of mercy call Christians to be just and

compassionate toward others. We can

show others the compassion of Our Lord

and lead them closer to him. Traditionally,

the Church teaches there are seven

spiritual works of mercy. Right now we

need more of the last four in our world.

More forbearance, more forgiveness,

more comfort, and more prayer. No

shortage exists of people, online or in the

real world, ready and willing to tell others

how to think or act. But precious few are

willing to just love others in their pain, give

others the benefit of the doubt, let go of past wounds,

and do the hard work of interceding for our broken world.

So, how do we carry out these spiritual acts of

compassion?

First of all – listen. Don’t think about what we want to

say; we simply hear what others need to say. Don’t

critique their pain; enter into their pain with them. A word

of affirmation, an offer of prayer – all can go a long way

to bringing comfort to the sorrowful.

To bear wrongs patiently requires us to assume the best

about those who hurt us. It asks us to presume that the

conversations on everything from face masks to race. How do you exist in a civil society that has lost

its civility?

was acting out of ignorance, or is suffering themselves

and acted out of their own pain. We risk doing a grave

injustice to someone when we leap to judgment.

Bearing wrongs requires us to not return kind for kind;

It is to obey Jesus’ injunction, “But if any

one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to

him the other also …” (Matthew 5:39).

Bearing wrongs also patiently calls us to

not pity ourselves. When we are attacked

or unjustly maligned, we should never see

ourselves as an innocent victim. Because

we’re not. We’ve all done a thousand

things wrong. From the cross, God

anticipated our need for forgiveness. He

died for us – while we were still far from

him. God asks us to do the same: forgiving

people who don’t deserve or want or even

ask for our forgiveness.

Last but not least, we’re called to pray for the living and

the dead. Fear, confusion, rage and chaos are the

devil’s favorite children. He breeds them. He delights in

them. He wants us to hurt the hurting. He wants us to

take offense, wallow in self-pity and judge those who

think or look differently from us, to hold on to hurt and

hate, bitterness and rage.

In the weeks and months ahead, the world needs our

prayers Ask God to let compassion, forbearance and

forgiveness follow. To that prayer, God will never say No.

– Emily Stimson Chapman, National Catholic Register

“From the

cross, God

anticipated

our need for

us. He asks

us to do the

same:

people who

don’t deserve or want or even

Saludos : Seguimos celebrando nuestra diversidad de idioma pero

siempre bendecidos con la oportunidad de celebrar nuestra unidad... la

Santa Misa. Celebrar la Santa Misa nos fortalece durante estos tiempos

difíciles, pero también nos da la gracia de seguir profundizando nuestra

relación con Jesús. Sigamos orando juntos y abriendo nuevas puertas

de gracia. Que esta gracia nos desafíe a vivir nuestra fe más

profundamente y a ser ejemplos en nuestra comunidad como

personas de fe.

Greetings : We continue to celebrate our diversity in language always

blessed with the opportunity that celebrates our unity….holy mass.

Celebrating holy mass strengthens us during these trying times but

also gives us the grace to continue to deepen our relationship with

Jesus. Let us continue to pray together opening new doors of grace.

May this grace challenge us to live our faith more deeply and be examples in our community of people of faith.

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

�

16th Sunday in Ordinary Time �

�

Grace and sin, belief and unbelief, good and evil all exist together. While we wrestle with these two dimensions of

reality inwardly, they are also witnessed in the actions and words of others. Many, all too often, beat themselves up

because of their sin. We are also all too quick to pass judgment on others whom we perceive to be in error and

walking down a wrong path. God does not make rash judgments, nor should we. Patience is the order of the day as is

an understanding that God is ultimately the caller of the shots.

Our faith tells us that while God allows the wheat and the weeds to coexist, the wheat will always triumph. As long as

we can cultivate even a little faith and a small measure of desire for God, He can produce abundant blessings and

good things. Even when the weeds seem to have triumphed, there still may be a small measure of faith remaining that

can be cultivated and grown. It doesn’t take much! Unless a person totally allows the weeds to reign, there is always

to be found at least a small measure of faith, good, light, and love. With even this small portion, God can produce

abundant growth.

Admittedly, it is easy to give into the weeds, and they grow very quickly. Any gardener knows this to be true. Some-

times, the weeds even seem more attractive and vibrant. Dealing with weeds can quickly become a losing battle, and

they can look healthier and grow faster than the very plants we are trying to protect. It’s easy to give into them and let

them win. While God will deal with all things in due time, we are responsible for keeping things in check in the short

term. It is our task to keep our eyes fixed on God’s presence and mercy. We are asked to avoid judgment. And, it is not

our responsibility to deal with the weeds in someone else’s garden, only our own. One garden is enough responsibility

for anyone.

Weeds have power. We have to realize this. While they can appear attractive and healthy, they can quickly choke us off

from God’s presence. Our task is one of maintenance and cultivating a desire for God. Even the smallest kernel of faith

can grow into something wonderful. In God’s time, the eternal harvest will come, and we will no longer have to worry

about the weeds. ©LPi

Sharing the Gospel

As God's child, you are the wheat in God's field. As you love and trust God more, your faith will grow. You will see others

around you who love God, too. God will be happy to see you growing up in God's love. As you grow taller and stronger,

you will also notice others around you who ignore or hate God. God will get rid of those weeds. Then he will bring you

into heaven.

Prayer : God, help my love and faith to grow strong.

Something to Draw : Draw a picture of wheat and weeds.

Mission for the Week : Help your parents in the garden. Watch how carefully weeds need to be pulled, so you don't

pull up the good plants, too.
