The Most Holy Trinity
-
Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9; 2 Corinthians 13:11-13; John 3:16-18. On Mount Sinai, Moses encounters the God of Israel as a God of compassion and kindness. Saint Paul urges the Corinthians to live in fellowship and peace as brothers and sisters, children of the one God. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches that his mission is grounded in the total love of the Father for all of creation.
Santissima Trinità
Il credente, con il sacramento dal Battesimo, entra in communione con il Padre, che è amore che salva con il Figlio che è amore che si dona e co lo Spirito Santo che è amore che santifica. La solennità della Santissima Trinità è la festa dell’Amore, che abbracci tutti gli uomini, figli di Dio.
天主聖三節
今天我們慶祝天主聖三節。什麼是聖三？就是我們相信一個天主，有三個位格，就是所謂（三位一體）。我們崇拜的不是三個不同的神，而是一個天位，包含聖父、聖子、聖神三個位格。我們從聖子基督得知天主是三位一體的，祂談論祂在大之父，說「我與父原是一體」。祂向父祈禱，求父賜給我們聖神，祂要門徒：「因父、及子、及聖神之名」付洗。三位一體是個奧秘，不是人可以完全明白完全解釋得清楚的。
我們雖然不明白，但有一點可以清楚，天主愛世人，祂以自己的肖像造了人，要人分享祂的生命，享受一切美善，人雖然犯罪，天主仍舊用祂的仁來愛我們，聖子以祂的血來洗淨我們罪污的靈魂。如我們誠心受教，天主聖神給我們各種神恩。我們雖然看不見天主三位一體，但從各種現象中可以證明。就像如果你隔着一道牆對一個人講話，他回應你，你請他幫忙，他替你辦到，甚至幫得比你所求的更好，你求他教導指引，他總會默默地替你指出一個方針，一條適合的路。你雖然不看見他，但知道有其人在，天主三位一體在，就是一樣。
From the Pastor’s Desk
The Church following the earthquake and fire of 1906. At that time,
we were located at the corner of Filbert and Dupont—now Grant Ave.
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This is continuing the story of Saints Peter and Paul.
April 18, 1906 – less than ten years after the arrival of the Salesians- marked the day when “the earth shook, and the sky burned.” The “Great Earthquake on San Francisco” devastated the city and left it in ashes. Also engulfed by flames and totally destroyed was the little church on the corner of Filbert and Dupont.
The next six months was a hectic period as San Franciscans struggled to cope with their losses. In North Beach victims of the earthquake and fire pitched tents in what is today Washington Square. For the worshipers of Saints Peter and Paul’s, services were conducted in a temporary shelter. But by November, a small wooden structure had replaced the old. It soon proved too small, and a new site where the twin-spired church is now located, was acquired. Excavations for what is today one of the city’s landmarks began in 1912. But World War I and the crippling “Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1919” that followed, brought construction to halt. For the next seven years, the crypt of the church, often called the “basement church,” served a multi-purpose function. It housed the temporary church, parish hall, gymnasium, and the parish movie theater in turn. Construction began anew in 1922, and the reborn Saints Peter and Paul was dedicated on March 30, 1924.

Have a blessed week!
