Just So You Know! Recently, Cardinal Dolan appointed Monsignor Sandi “Temporary Administrator” of Notre Dame Church on West 114th Street. Naturally, this does not affect his position as pastor of Holy Trinity. Please pray for the priests and parishioners of Notre Dame Parish.

A Sad Fact “There is nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it.” William James (1842-1910), Founder of Modern Psychology

A Moral Imperative Sorry, “the end” does NOT justify “the means.” A moral end does not justify immoral means of attaining it. Think about it, fellow Christian.

Literature Racks Have you noticed the literature racks are empty! It must be August! Yes. Glad you noticed. Ordering is in progress, and by the beginning of the new Parish Year (Sep-May), interesting Catholic Updates will fill the racks for us life-long learners.

New PARISH YEAR Planning for the new Parish Year (Sep-May) is underway. If you are a parish group leader, make sure to get your meeting dates on the MASTER CALENDAR, maintained by Colleen Glazer, so w will not accidentally “bump into one another” throughout the year. Thank you!

+ Holy Trinity – 10 Years Ago +

“from the archives!” The Year of the Priest Celebration Plan to join your fellow parishioners next Sunday November 22nd, 5:00 PM in the Murphy Center as we celebrate the Year of the Priest! As a special treat, we have invited priests who have previously served at Holy Trinity – a chance to say hello, reminisce and catch up. This will be pot-luck; please check with the Rectory and let us know what you would like to bring. (11/15/09) And 20 Years Ago … Post-Christmas Gifts Far be it for us to suggest you start stockpiling presents now for next Christmas, but – in case you had to give away your own copy to supply a last minute gift: We are in the Christmas season, so you can still pick up a copy or two of the Contemporary Choir’s wonderful new Christmas CD Angels We Have Heard. At $10, this is (practically) a steal. We have available videotapes of Holy Trinity: The First Century. This is truly a priceless keepsake for remembering your times at Holy Trinity and your neighborhood on the Upper West Side; $20 will preserve what memories can let slip away. (6/28/99) [Some will recall that, in 2012, to mark Holy Trinity’s 100th Anniversary of establishing the Upper Church, this tape was re-mastered to a CD format. The memories live on!]

SANTA ROSA DE LIMA

Santa Rosa de Lima nació el 30 de abril de 1586 en la vecindad del hospital del Espíritu Santo de la ciudad de Lima, entonces capital del virreinato del Perú. Su nombre original fue Isabel Flores de Oliva. Era una de los trece hijos habidos en el matrimonio de Gaspar Flores, arcabucero de la guardia virreinal, natural de San Juan de Puerto Rico, con la limeña María de Oliva. A Santa Rosa de Lima le tocó vivir en Lima un ambiente de efervescencia religiosa, una época en que abundaban las atribuciones de milagros, curaciones y todo tipo de maravillas por parte de una población que ponía gran énfasis en las virtudes y calidad de vida cristianas. Alrededor de sesenta personas fallecieron en "olor de santidad" en la capital peruana entre finales del siglo XVI y mediados del XVIII. De aquí se originó por cierto una larga serie de biografías de santos, beatos y siervos de Dios, obras muy parecidas en su contenido, regidas por las mismas estructuras formales y por análogas categorías de pensamiento.

A Santa Rosa le atraía con singular fuerza el modelo de la dominica Catalina de Siena (santa toscana del siglo XIV), y esto la decidió a cambiar el sayal franciscano por el hábito blanco de terciaria de la Orden de Predicadores, aparentemente desde 1606. Se afirma que estaba bien dotada para las labores de costura, con las cuales ayudaba a sostener el presupuesto familiar, pero fueron muy contadas las personas con quienes Rosa llegó a tener alguna intimidad. En su círculo más estrecho se hallaban mujeres virtuosas como doña Luisa Melgarejo y su grupo de "beatas", junto con amigos de la casa paterna y allegados al hogar del contador Gonzalo de la Maza. El proceso que condujo a la beatificación y canonización de Rosa empezó casi de inmediato, con la información de testigos promovida en 1617-1618 por el arzobispo de Lima, Bartolomé Lobo Guerrero. Tras un largo procedimiento, Clemente X la canonizó en 1671. Desde un punto de vista histórico, Santa Rosa de Lima sobresale por ser la primera santa de América. Actualmente es patrona de Lima, América, Filipinas e Indias Orientales.
