ST.

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH for the world during the pandemic�

� To you, O blessed Joseph, do we come in our tribula�on, and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, we confidently invoke

your patronage also. Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with

which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his

Blood, and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessi�es.�

� O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; O most loving Father, ward off from us every

contagion of error and corrup�ng influence; O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the

power of darkness. As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, so now protect God's Holy Church from the snares of the

enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protec�on, so that, supported by your example and your aid,

we may be able to live piously, to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.�

hear my song, thou God of all the na�ons, A song of peace for

their land and for mine.�

3. This my prayer, O Lord of all earth's kingdoms: Thy kingdom

come; on earth thy will be done. Let Christ be li*ed up �ll all

shall serve him, And hearts united learn to live as one. O hear

my prayer, thou God of all the na�ons; Myself I give thee;

let thy will be done.�

O Good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds hide me. Separated

from you, let me never be. �

From the evil one protect me. �

At the hour of my death, call me,�

And close to you bid me that with your saints �

I may be praising you for ever and ever. Amen.�

�

�

CLOSING HYMN: “Holy God We Praise Thy Name” �

All on earth thy scepter claim, All in heav’n above adore thee;�

Infinite, thy vast domain, Everlas�ng is thy reign.�

Infinite, thy vast domain, Everlas�ng is thy reign.�

While in essence only One, Undivided God we claim thee;�

And adoring, bend the knee, While we own the mystery.�

trees from the front of the rectory (one

very dead spruce and one about�to�be�

dead ash tree. This opened up a lot of

space and landscaping possibili�es to fill

the void. Last spring people at St.

Stanislaus responded to my appeal for dona�ons to

plant 9 trees in the church and school parking lots. We

even had one dona�on from a Holy Ghost parishioner

for that project.�

I am appealing to anyone interested in helping the

Holy Ghost “Reforestaon 2021” program to step

forward to sponsor a tree or shrub. These are the

possibili�es:�

� 1 Weeping Birch� � $500.00�

� 2 Weeping Blue Spruce�$200.00 each�

� 5 Viburnum Bushes� � $45.00 each�

Please contact Carrie at the parish office �

402�731�3176 to let her know if you would be willing to

help in this effort. The Men’s Club will cover other

expenses. Dona�ons of any amount would be

appreciated to help with the new shrubs and perennials

in front of the church as well.�

The Feast of the Holy Trinity�

Trinity Sunday is a moveable feast celebrated

a week after Pentecost Sunday. Trinity

Sunday honors the most fundamental of

Christian beliefs�belief in the Holy Trinity.

The human mind can never fully understand the mystery

of the Trinity, but we can sum it up in the following

formula: God is three Persons in one Nature. There is

only one God, and the three Persons of God�the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit�are all equally God, and

they cannot be divided.�

As Fr. John Hardon points out in his Modern Catholic

Dictionary, the or igins of the celebration of Tr inity

Sunday go all the way back to the Arian heresy of the

fourth century. Arius, a Catholic priest, believed that

Jesus Christ was a created being rather than God.�

In denying the divinity of Christ, Arius denied that

there are three Persons in God. Arius' chief opponent,

Athanasius, upheld the orthodox doctrine that there are

three Persons in one God, and the orthodox view

prevailed at the Council of Nicaea, from which we get

the Nicene Creed, recited in most Christian churches

every Sunday.�

(The Council of Nicaea also gives us a wonderful

example of how a real bishop deals with a heretic:

Confronted with Arius' blasphemous views, Saint

Nicholas of Myra�the man best known today as Santa

Claus�marched across the council floor and slapped

Arius across the face.)�

To stress the doctrine of the Trinity, other Fathers of

the Church, such as St. Ephrem the Syrian, composed

prayers and hymns that were recited in the Church's

liturgies and on Sundays as part of the Divine Office, the

official prayer of the Church.�

The mystery of the Trinity is outlined in the Nicene

Creed but is also summarized in the Baptismal Creed

(and renewal of Baptism promises on Easter). Various

qualities/functions/powers of the Three Divine Persons

are presented in the Gloria of the Mass and the Apostles

Creed. We always begin our prayers, even the Mass,

“In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the

Holy Spirit.” In Holy Baptism we are baptized in the

name of the three persons of the Trinity. The

“Doxology” (or the prayer we commonly refer to as the

“Glory Be”) addresses the Three Persons in the One

Godhead.�

The mystery of the Trinity is a sublime mystery that

surpasses the capability of the human mind to grasp. It

seems to defy logic and reason: one God in Three Divine

Persons; Three Persons yet one God. One + One + One

= One. Even the angels and Blessed in Heaven do not

grasp the mystery completely; they don’t even try. They

really don’t need to do that. They are drawn into the

mystery of His divine love and nothing more is needed.

So it should be for us here below as well.�
