THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
Reading I Dt 4:32-34, 39-40
Moses said to the people:
"Ask now of the days of old, before your time,
ever since God created man upon the earth;
ask from one end of the sky to the other:
Did anything so great ever happen before?
Was it ever heard of?
Did a people ever hear the voice of God
speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live?
Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself
from the midst of another nation,
by testings, by signs and wonders, by war,
with strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors,
all of which the LORD, your God,
did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
This is why you must now know,
and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God
in the heavens above and on earth below,
and that there is no other.
You must keep his statutes and commandments that I enjoin on you today,
that you and your children after you may prosper,
and that you may have long life on the land
which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm will be sung.
Reading II Rom 8:14-17
Brothers and sisters:
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
but you received a Spirit of adoption,
through whom we cry, “Abba, Father!”
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God,
and if children, then heirs,
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if only we suffer with him
so that we may also be glorified with him.
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
The Alleluia is sung.
Gospel Mt 28:16-20
The eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Homily
Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
[at the words that follow, up to and including “and became man,” all bow.]and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection
of the dead and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

PREFACE OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
Priest: People:
The Lord be with you. And with your spirit.
Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right and just.
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks,
Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God. For with your Only Begotten Son and the Holy
Spirit you are one God, one Lord: not in the unity of a single person, but in a Trinity of one
substance.
For what you have revealed to us of your glory we believe equally of your Son and of the Holy
Spirit, so that, in the confessing of the true and eternal Godhead, you might be adored in what is
proper to each Person, their unity in substance, and their equality in majesty.
For this is praised by Angels and Archangels, Cherubim, too, and Seraphim, who never cease to
cry out each day, as with one voice they acclaim:
The Holy, Holy is sung:
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the
highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

A Message from Fr. Roberto
Asian Americans: A History of Contribution despite a History of Discrimination
This message, written by Fr. Linh Hoang OFM, Ph.D., Professor Religious Studies, Siena
College, is taken from the website of the Conference of California Bishops and helps us have a
deeper appreciation of the current and historical discrimination against Asian Americans and
Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in spite of the great contribution they have made to the United States
through the years.
*********************************************************
“In recent months, this nation has seen an uptick in violent discrimination against AAPI
individuals. However, in reality, racial discrimination and hatred against Asians have occurred
since their first appearance in the United States of America. This hostility against particulargroups because of their ethnic origins has deep roots in our nation’s past and was exhibited in laws such as the Page Act (1875), the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882), and the internment of Japanese Americans in World War II (1941). These policies and laws emphasized government support of the society’s fear and prejudice against Asians. These laws gave everyday people “permission” to intimidate and harass Asians. The recent uptick in attacks against Asians stems from society’s baseless labeling of COVID-19 as the “China virus” and the “Kung flu.” This irresponsible scapegoating evokes the assaults in San Francisco 121 years ago when members of the Chinese community were blamed and attacked for an outbreak of the bubonic plague. Regrettably, the false association of the AAPI community with COVID-19 adds another historical layer of Americans blaming their fellow Americans for larger social ills. “…Videos of unprovoked assaults on elder AAPIs, arson at a Chinese church, stabbings at bus stops, and literally thousands of racist and violent incidents both in-person and online are a shameful scar upon our society. Some of these racist incidents have tragically ended lives and deeply wounded the families of the victims. The shooting massacre of six Asian women in Atlanta culminates a yearlong trauma caused by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown but also uncovers the decades of racial attacks and harassment against Asian immigrants and refugees. “The aftermath of these attacks brings sharper attention to labels and stereotypes imposed on Asians in America: “model minority” and “forever foreigner.” These labels describe Asians as hard-working and tolerable citizens but never wholly accepted as equal… “…Many of the Asians who first came to the shores of the United States landed in California. The largest group was the Chinese; their history is well-rooted in the state. But they endured some of the most horrific persecution faced by any immigrants. Their success in working in the gold mines, railroads, and retail business was viewed as intruding into employment for white citizens. These sentiments against the Chinese boiled into driving them from towns and cities up and down the California coast. It seemed that as they were being driven out no one stepped in to help them. The Chinese community fought against the persecution they endured and eventually found protection. “There were many Catholics among the Chinese immigrants. The first bishop of San Francisco, Bishop Joseph Alemany (1814-1888), wanted to assist the growing number of Chinese Catholics in the diocese. In order to do this, he brought over a Chinese priest to work with the increasing number of Chinese Catholics. The desire was admirable but the result was disastrous because the priest spoke a different dialect than Chinese Catholics in San Francisco. Nevertheless, there were attempts to continue working with the growing population. This is the first evidence of the wider Catholic Church in the U.S. reaching out to the Asian communities that continue to bolster the U.S. Catholic population. It is something that all people of faith need to do - assist those most vulnerable in the society and create a space where all can live… “…It is crucial to know AAPI history and acknowledge that Asians have and continue to contribute to the wider U.S. society. Even with the current climate of fear and discrimination, the AAPI community continues to help educate others about their presence and participation. Education is an essential factor but also it is engaging with one another that people will learn about the shared humanity among each person. This is a step towards eliminating discrimination
and hatred against Asians and all immigrants in America. “The call to stand in solidarity with groups targeted because of their ethnic origins is a call to all people of faith. The mercy and compassion of God are built upon the work that human beings provide to one another. We continue to ask for God’s guidance as we stand together against violence, hatred, and discrimination in our society and world. May God’s spirit open our minds, hands and stir our hearts towards those efforts.”
