Message from Fr. Rodolfo Caballero
Fr. Rodolfo Caballero
As we kick off this new year with renewed hopes in the goodness and mercy of the Lord,
our contemplative eyes set upon a beauty that is all too familiar to us parishioners at Holy
Trinity: The Baptism of the Lord. The stained glass window that we have behind the main
altar can give us a wonderful composition of place. God the Father is complacent of his Son
fulfilling everyone of his desires. The Holy Spirit descending on the Savior as Jesus as-
cends from the waters and “fulfills all justice”. In the blessing of the water of baptism, it is
mentioned that with his baptism, the Lord sanctified the waters, so that in their turn, they
may become a means of sanctification for the rest of mankind.
To think of that scene that illuminates our Parish, we can also draw up in our hearts another scene. It is the mo-
ment in which we began to take part of the family of God by means of our own baptism. God graciously made us
his own and He became our own as He shared His divine grace with us, making us his children and co-heirs of
eternal salvation. And partaking of the sacraments regularly is a way for God to remind us that He is faithful to
that promise. It is also a renewed commitment that we make around the altar that we too want to be faithful to our
side of the bargain by living the way Jesus lived, fulfilling every justice required of us.
May the Lord fill your hearts and home with every blessing during this year 2021.
Your brother and servant in the priesthood of Jesus Christ,
Mensaje de P. Rodolfo Caballero
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Al comenzar este nuevo año con esperanzas renovadas en la bondad y misericordia del Señor, ponemos nues-
tra mirada contemplativa sobre una belleza que es familiar a todos los parroquianos de Holy Trinity: El bautismo
del Señor. El vitral que tenemos detrás del altar principal nos otorga una maravillosa composición del lugar. Dios
Padre se complace en su Hijo en el cumplimiento de todos sus deseos. El Espíritu Santo descendiendo sobre el
Salvador mientras Jesús asciende de las aguas y "cumple toda ley". En la bendicion del agua del bautismo, se
menciona que con Su bautizo, el Señor santifica las aguas, para que a su vez, se puedan convertir en medio
de santificación para el resto de la humanidad.
El pensar sobre esa escena que ilumina nuestra parroquia, nos lleva a delinear otra escena en nuestros cora-
zones. Es el momento en el cual empezamos a formar parte de la familia de Dios por medio de nuestro propio
bautizo. Por su gracia, Dios nos hizo suyos y Él se volvió como nosotros cuando compartió Su divina gracia con
nosotros haciéndonos sus hijos y co-herederos de la salvación eterna, y haciéndonos partícipes de los sacra-
mentos, de manera regular, es una forma en la que Dios nos recuerda que Él es fiel a su promesa. También es
un compromiso renovado que hacemos alrededor del altar de que también nosotros queremos ser fieles a nues-
tro trato, viviendo como Jesus vivió, cumpliendo todo mandamiento que nos sea requerido.
Que el Señor llene sus corazones y hogares con todas las bendiciones este año 2021.
Tu hermano y siervo en el sacerdocio de Jesucristo, siempre,
P. Rodolfo Caballero

vocations
Vocations Corner
In the Gospel of Mark, the first instructions of Jesus are:
“Repent and believe the Good News!” The Greek word that
we translate as ‘Repent’ literally means ‘Go beyond your
mind!’ or ‘Change your mind!’ What does this mean? Jesus
is challenging us to soften our hearts, to have the humility
to acknowledge our spiritual blindness. Our own ways of
thinking and acting are so often tainted by hidden selfish-
ness and pride. Despite our best intentions, we continue to
make compromises with evil and to prioritize our own com-
fort or security over authentic love and mercy.
The Good News is that, through His Life, Death, and Res-
urrection, Jesus has opened the way for us to a completely
new way of living. Jesus gives us the Holy Spirit at our
baptism to enable us to live according to the values of His
Kingdom (see Matthew 5-7). Living in the Spirit does not
automatically mean that we will never sin or make mis-
takes again, but it does imply that we have the power to
turn to Jesus each day with a trusting heart, humbly ac-
knowledging our spiritual poverty. Repentance becomes a
daily activity in the life of every disciple—an openness to
letting ourselves and our priorities be molded according to
the mind and heart of Jesus. If we are willing to receive
Him, Jesus is always offering us new eyes to see and new
ears to hear.

THE DIVINE MERCY
Weekly Message
In the evening, I just about got into bed, and I fell asleep immediately.
Though I fell asleep quickly, I was awakened even more quickly. A little
child came and woke me up. The child seemed about a year old, and I
was surprised it could speak so well, as children of that age either do not
speak or speak very indistinctly. The child was beautiful beyond words
and resembled the Child Jesus, and he said to me, Look at the sky. And
when I looked at the sky I saw the stars and the moon shining. Then the
child asked me, Do you see this moon and these stars? When I said yes,
he spoke these words to me, These stars are the souls of faithful Chris-
tians, and the moon is the souls of religious. Do you see how great
the difference is between the light of the moon and the light of the
stars? Such is the difference in heaven between the soul of a reli-
gious and the soul of a faithful Christian. And he went on to say
that, True greatness is in loving God and in humility. (#424)

really helped me draw close to Christ. In doing so, He
was able to heal me. I look back on those times with
great fondness. This one-on-one time with Christ, and

“…for John baptized with water, but before many
days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit” Acts
1:5
In the Acts of the Apostles, Saint Luke presents the com-
pelling story of how Jesus’ apostles and disciples carried
forward His holy mission of the universal Kingdom under
the guidance of the Holy Spirit, spreading the Gospel of
Jesus Christ from Jerusalem to the most remote corners
of the Roman Empire. Situated between the Gospels and
the Epistles, the Acts of the Apostles is the hinge upon
which the New Testament turns from the Old Covenant
fulfilled in Christ and the New Testament Church.
