Our FEAST of the TRINITY – the Relationships of the Three in ONE
God. And God’s relationship with us.
1. Congratulations to our GUARDIAN ANGELS SCHOOL CLASS OF 2020! You have
amazed me in your sharing of your Talents - Creativity through the years -In the Living
Wax Museum projects each year, your preparation and showmanship in Song and acting
in our School Plays, your strong gifts of music in our school choirs, our Angelic Choir and
so often at our School Masses in Leading our Sung Prayer in serving as Cantor, or
Proclaiming the Psalms. Your teamwork in sports, practices and games will serve you well
in your high school years. May you listen with a heart filled by Jesus’ love; Listen with an ear with Jesus’ compassion;
Act with for others!
2. YES! The Governor and Our Bishop have given Guidelines to move us toward Public Mass SOON. The earliest is June
13th and 14th. Not all parishes will be ready by then. Re-Opening and How we can gather for Mass and how many
people, etc. is requiring clear and safe planning for safe and proper Mass celebrations here at St Clare.
I expect to decide Tuesday our readiness regarding next weekend. If you supplied St. Clare with your email address,
you should have received a survey regarding necessary volunteers for having mass. PLEASE REPLY TODAY if you have
not. Email Verna if you did not receive our survey.
Fr. Grace Manano, Fr. John Jairo and I will present a video to be posted this week, “What You Can expect when you
come to St Clare’s for Mass in these Times” AND “What we expect of You when gathered for Mass in these Times.”
3. “GOD’s Gonna’ Trouble the Waters…” – For my Relatives, the phrase “The Troubles!” refers to the Irish struggle for
Independence in the past 100 years. ’T R O U B L E’ S’ I believe is a great word for our people, our country our times.
Watching the news of another young black man killed. And once again killed by a police officer. Witnessing the uprising
of communities of protestors gathering in waves across our nation and more so well beyond our borders needs to
catch my attention for more than a soundbite.
Has GOD troubled the waters?
A son of my friends posted sharing his Anger and Hatred of Police. My friends asked if I would reply to my younger
friend, their son. I said I intended to AND needed time to sleep on it before I would Reply. I’ll share with you my
attempt at engaging this exceptionally good, Catholic Christian educated young man with a deep compassion for justice
for all. “Being a priest has been for me since the beginning a blessed and sacred journey. YET from my start in 1983 my
journey has also been disturbing and challenging. The institutional [Church] acceptance, tolerance, and cover-up of
clergy sexual abuse and pedophilia was horrific! The TRAUMA still remains
deeply traumatic for those abused. Healing Resolution often incomplete. And
the betrayal of family trust in parishes, as well as the betrayal of the trust of
Good Priests, screams still for being heard and healed.

The Most Holy Trinity June 7, 2020
God troubled the Water’s – So, FINALLY the Courts ACTED, after much protest anger of
good people of faith, those whose faith was damaged, destroyed or stolen. Then & now,
I feel at risk when the Media or others generalize about priests. In the midst of injustice
in and by the Church, I have resolved to go about doing my best to share a different,
hopefully more gospel way.
The anger regarding our historic and current racial divide fueled today by the deaths of
black men and women in our country needs to change! The application of justice needs
to be fair and practical. For our communities, Police Standards and Accountabilities need
new enforcement in all cities and towns. The work done in Camden by citizens and catholic priests and clergy of the
many churches brought stronger relationships with the Police and their community. Changes were addressed in the
structures of the police department and the relationship of police with the broader county police. The marches in
Camden were done jointly, the community with their police. And peace has reigned among them. True peaceful
protests will help, so I might be awakened to notice, to listen, to engage and possibly learn the issues. I look to
Reverend ML King, Mahatma Ghandi and other leaders who through protest, education and song-filled prayer led us
through earlier awakenings of injustices. Behavior of violence against shop owners, opposition voices and even against
police I hold as criminal, and accountability is needed. Publicly speak out of the crimes of oppressors, of Bad cops and
Bad Administrators, bad judges who empower and protect unjust treatment.
Has God troubled the waters -here & now:
Martin Luther King “ I choose to Love, Hate is Too heavy a burden to live with.” Jesus said ‘Love one another, as I have
loved you!’ and in John 17: 19-22 I pray for them: 20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will
believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May
they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me …. so that they may be brought to complete
unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”
I pray that we might SEE, LEARN & ACT. I believe Learning & Listening are the first steps I need to take. And you…
Fr. Dave

Nuestra FIESTA de la TRINIDAD: las relaciones de los Tres y UN solo
Dios. Y la relación de Dios con nosotros.
1. ¡Felicitaciones a nuestra CLASE DE ESCUELA DE LOS ÁNGELES GUARDIANES
DE 2020! Me has sorprendido al compartir tus talentos - Creatividad a través de los
años - En los proyectos del Living Wax Museum cada año, tu preparación y talento para
el espectáculo en la canción y la actuación en nuestras obras escolares, tus fuertes
dones de música en nuestros coros escolares, nuestro angelical Coro y muy a menudo
en nuestras misas escolares para dirigir nuestra oración cantada para servir como
cantor o proclamar los salmos. Tu trabajo en equipo en deportes, prácticas y juegos te
servirá bien en tus años de escuela secundaria. Que escuches con un corazón lleno del
amor de Jesús; Escucha con un oído con la compasión de Jesús; ¡Actúa con los demás!
2. SÍ! El gobernador y nuestro obispo han dado pautas para avanzar hacia la misa pública PRONTO. El primero es el
13 y 14 de junio. No todas las parroquias estarán listas para entonces. La reapertura y cómo podemos reunirnos
para la misa y cuántas personas, etc., requiere una planificación clara y segura para las celebraciones de la misa
seguras y adecuadas aquí en St. Clare. Espero decidir el martes nuestra preparación para el próximo fin de semana.
Si le proporcionó a St. Clare su dirección de correo electrónico, debería haber recibido una encuesta sobre los
voluntarios necesarios para la misa. POR FAVOR RESPONDA HOY si no lo has hecho. Envíe un correo electrónico a
Verna si no recibió nuestra encuesta. El Padre Grace Manano, Padre John Jairo y yo presentaremos un video que se
publicará esta semana, "Lo que puedes esperar cuando vengas a misa a Santa Clara en estos tiempos" Y "Lo que
esperamos de ti cuando nos reunimos para la misa en estos tiempos".
3. "DIOS va a preocupar las aguas ..." - Para mis parientes, la frase "¡Los problemas!" se refiere a la lucha irlandesa
por la independencia en los últimos 100 años. 'T R O U B L E' S 'Creo que es una gran palabra para nuestra gente,
nuestro país en nuestros tiempos. Viendo las noticias de otro joven negro asesinado. Y una vez más asesinado por
un oficial de policía. Ser testigo de la sublevación de las comunidades de manifestantes que se congregan en oleadas
en todo nuestro país y más allá de nuestras fronteras necesita llamar mi atención por algo más que un mordisco.
¿DIOS ha turbado las aguas?
Un hijo de mis amigos publicó compartir su ira y odio a la policía. Mis amigos me preguntaron si respondería a mi
amigo menor, su hijo. Dije que tenía la intención Y necesitaba tiempo para dormir antes de responder. Compartiré
con ustedes mi intento de involucrar a este excepcionalmente bueno, joven católico cristiano educado con una
profunda compasión por la justicia para todos. “Ser sacerdote ha sido para mí desde el principio un viaje bendito y
sagrado. Sin embargo, desde mi inicio en 1983, mi viaje también ha sido inquietante y desafiante.

¡La aceptación, tolerancia y encubrimiento institucional [de la Iglesia] del abuso sexual
y la pedofilia del clero fue horrible! El TRAUMA sigue siendo profundamente
traumático para los maltratados. Resolución de curación a menudo incompleta. Y la
traición de la confianza familiar en las parroquias, así como la traición de la confianza
de los buenos sacerdotes, todavía grita por ser escuchada y sanada.
Dios perturbó el agua - Entonces, FINALMENTE los Tribunales ACTUARON, después de
mucha ira de protesta de las buenas personas de fe, aquellos cuya fe fue dañada,
destruida o robada. Entonces y ahora, me siento en riesgo cuando los medios u otros
generalizan sobre los sacerdotes. En medio de la injusticia en y por la Iglesia, he
decidido hacer todo lo posible para compartir una forma diferente, ojalá más
evangélica.
¡La ira con respecto a nuestra división racial histórica y actual alimentada hoy por la muerte de hombres y mujeres
negros en nuestro país debe cambiar! La aplicación de la justicia debe ser justa y práctica. Para nuestras
comunidades, las normas y responsabilidades policiales necesitan una nueva aplicación en todas las ciudades y
pueblos. El trabajo realizado en Camden por ciudadanos y sacerdotes católicos y el clero de las muchas iglesias trajo
relaciones más fuertes con la policía y su comunidad. Los cambios se abordaron en las estructuras del departamento
de policía y la relación de la policía con la policía del condado en general. Las marchas en Camden se realizaron
conjuntamente, la comunidad con su policía. Y la paz ha reinado entre ellos. Las verdaderas protestas pacíficas
ayudarán, por lo que podría despertarme para notar, escuchar, participar y posiblemente aprender los problemas.
Miro al Reverendo ML King, Mahatma Ghandi y otros líderes que a través de la protesta, la educación y la oración
llena de canciones nos guiaron a través de los primeros despertares de injusticias. Comportamiento de violencia
contra dueños de tiendas, voces de oposición e incluso contra la policía que considero criminal, y se necesita
responsabilidad. Hablar públicamente de los crímenes de los opresores, de los malos policías y los malos
administradores, los malos jueces que empoderan y protegen el trato injusto.
¿Ha turbado Dios las aguas aquí y ahora?
Martin Luther King "Elijo amar, odiar es una carga demasiado pesada para vivir". Jesús dijo "¡Ámense los unos a los
otros como yo los he amado!" Y en Juan 17: 19-22 oro por ellos: 20 "Mi oración no es solo por ellos. También rezo
por aquellos que creerán en mí a través de su mensaje, 21 para que todos sean uno, Padre, así como tú estás en mí
y yo estoy en ti. Que también estén en nosotros para que el mundo pueda creer que me has enviado ... para que
puedan ser llevados a la unidad completa. Entonces el mundo sabrá que me enviaste y los has amado como tú me
has amado a mí ”.
Rezo para que podamos VER, APRENDER Y ACTUAR. Creo que aprender y escuchar son los primeros pasos que debo
seguir. Y tu…

Stewards Cornerstones
May 10, 2020
5th Sunday of Easter
“The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.”
1 PETER 2:7
Every person has been given gifts from
the Holy Spirit. These are called
“charisms” and they are used to build
God’s kingdom on earth. While many
people are able to recognize their nat-
ural talents and abilities, they may
be unsure of their
charisms as Christian Stewards. If you
know someone who is struggling for a
direction in life, give them a little en-
couragement. Help them discern their
charisms and how God is calling them
to use them.
Remember - no gift is too small or
Insignificant in God’s salvation plan.
"La piedra que los constructores
rechazaron se ha convertido en la piedra
angular". 1 PEDRO 2: 7
Cada persona ha recibido dones del
Espíritu Santo. Estos se llaman "carismas"
y se utilizan para construir el reino de Dios
en la tierra. Si bien muchas personas
pueden reconocer sus talentos y
habilidades naturales, pueden no estar
seguros de sus carismas. Si conoces a
alguien que está luchando por una
dirección en la vida, dale un poco de
aliento. Ayúdalos a discernir sus carismas
y cómo Dios los está llamando a usarlos.
Recuerde: ningún regalo es demasiado
pequeño o insignificante en el plan de
salvación de Dios.
