Dear Holy Spirit Parish:

                “But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 (John 16:13)

Ahhhhh.  It is time for my favorite passages from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

#252. The faith of all Christians rests on the Trinity.

#254.  The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life…

It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith… It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the “hierarchy of truths of the faith.”

#260.  The ultimate end of the whole divine economy is the entry of God’s creatures into the

perfect unity of the Blessed Trinity.  

“Whole divine economy”… that is everything God has done—from creation, to the incarnation, to Jesus’ death on the cross, to his resurrection, ascension and outpouring of the Spirit—was done for the sole purpose of drawing all God’s creatures (that is everything!) into the complete giving and receiving of life and love that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit know.

It is perfectly understandable to me that it is taking God a long long time to get all creatures to live in divine harmony.  Just trying to gather a parish staff with the complementary talents and shared vision to generate good synergy and full-hearted giving and receiving has been a slow process.  This letter was written June 8^th when we still had a lot of pieces still moving.   I will share as much as I can as soon as I can.

These will be the last two weeks of Pia’s ministry among us.  She will end her involvement in parish ministries June 30^th.   I know there are many who wish to express to her their gratitude for all that she has accomplished this past year.   Pia has declined all offers to hold a farewell party for her so please express to her directly your gratitude and well wishes.

 This past Wednesday, June 11^th we interviewed an excellent candidate for our Director of Liturgy and Music position.  Again, hopefully by the time you are reading this we can announce this position as filled as well.

Holy Spirit, lead us into that complete giving and receiving of life and love that you, the Father and Son share!

Fr. Steve
