Molded by the Word of God and nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation, we are sent to seek out the lost, bind the broken, feed the hungry, and to share the Good News of God s mercy and love for all.

The Most Holy Trinity May 27, 2018 Pastor s Note Fr. Bob, A life consecrated to God and others There is a priest with silver hair and a great smile who says the early Mass each Sunday. A man of God, a man of his people. He has for many years given to others the best of himself. Like a good Jesuit father, he will do everything for the major glory of God. (AMDG). What Fr. Bob has done here in St. Martin's is just a little part of what he has done for the community of San Jose and for the whole church in the world. And there are no words to express how much we appreciate his service, his devotion, and his example. You know that his Masses and Homilies are short, but his work is lifelong. He has in him an example that to mark the life of others, we don t need too many words, but we need the right ones. There are a few words that will remain with us from him. He continually repeats: keep up the good work. Ironically, he is the one who is doing the good work and has being doing it for many years. For that we are grateful. For those who know him from Bellarmine, you will remember when he use to run, later jog, and now walks, and in every lap he will cry out Go Bells. I wish and pray the each one of us always has his enthusiasm, his spirit of understanding and his dedication. Thanks, Fr. Bob, for all you have done for St. Martin s community and for your example of consecration to God and to others May the Lord continue to bless you and the life of every one you have touched. He shows us that: Being a disciple means being constantly ready to bring the love of Jesus to others, and this can happen unexpectedly and in any place: on the street, in a city square, during work, on a journey.

Contact the Parish Office 408-294-8953 x11 or stmartinoftours@icloud.com FOOD BOX PROGRAM Our Food Box Program is transitioning to a Wellness Pantry, which will result in sharing healthier groceries with our food-insecure clients. One example is that we will provide fresh produce only--canned fruits and vegetables contain so much sugar and salt that they can contribute to an unhealthy diet, so we plan to eliminate all canned fruits and vegetables. We will also eliminate canned soups and packaged dinners, based on high sodium content. We would appreciate donations of canned tuna, salmon, or chicken, peanut butter, whole -grain pasta, whole-grain unsweetened cereal, and whole beans. Also, please encourage our food-insecure neighbors to attend our Food Box program-- all are welcome to receive food. Contact Karen with questions or concerns at (408) 410-3222 or kguldan@gmail.com.

The Trinity remains one of the most amazing and challenging mysteries of our faith. If the Trinity is a mystery, does that mean we no longer need to make efforts to grow in our awareness of God s being? The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the hierarchy of truths of faith. (CCC 234) So how do we grow in our understanding of this truth? We can read excerpts from the Catechism, but we can also pray to each member of the Trinity. Many of us naturally pray to one member of the Trinity, so what if we tried praying to the Holy Spirit instead of Jesus or to Jesus instead of God? We are still praying to the same God, but God may provide us with grace that helps us to grow in our understanding of how the Trinitarian relationship functions. As you prepare to pray, ask God if there is anything God wants to reveal to you through one of the members of the Trinity and wait a moment to see how God responds.
