OUR NEW ORLEANS ARCHDIOCESE
FAMILY PRAYER
Loving and Faithful God, through the years
the people of our archdiocese have appreciated
the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor
in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness.
We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother,
and ask you to help us in the battle of today
against violence, murder and racism.
We implore you to give us your wisdom
that we may build a community
founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect
to the life and dignity of all people.
Bless parents
that they may form their children in faith.
Bless and protect our youth
that they may be peacemakers of our time.
Give consolation to those
who have lost loved ones through violence.
Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance
to be a voice for life and human dignity
in our community.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.
Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us
that we may be a holy family.

WEEKLY REFLECTION
Holy Trinity
There are many who are confused by the doctrine of
the Trinity. Three divine Persons in one divine Being
can seem to some to be a maddening divine math problem that we are called to figure out if we want to know
who God is. Although it is true that Trinitarian theology can be quite complicated, on this Trinity Sunday I
think it best to focus on two realities that help us understand the importance of this foundational Christian
doctrine.
First, another way to say that God is Trinity is to say
that God is love. Not just that God has love or is loving, but that He is love. In other words, God is not
merely a static monolith but a communion of love consisting of a Lover (Father), Beloved (Son), and the
Love they share (Holy Spirit). And because this love
of Father, Son, and Spirit is the very essence of the divine nature, all God is really and truly one. This claim
is utterly unique to Christianity and enormously comforting. Through Christ’s revelation of God’s very essence, we know that at the heart of all reality is not
some merely vague force (like in Star Wars), nor some
distant and inactive deity (as in other monotheistic understandings) but rather a communion of divine love so
intense that the divine love overflows into our creation
and redemption.
Second, the doctrine of the Trinity reminds us of what
we are doing every time we make the Sign of the
Cross. We are reminded that our redemption in Christ
is a work not just of Christ Himself but of all three Persons of the Trinity. We are reminded that it was the
Father who sent His Son down into the depths of our
sinful world in order to bring us up out of darkness into
the unity of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit who
unites us to God and to one another. When we reflect
on this we see we have a great privilege in that we not
only can pray to God but also in God. Through the
revelation of the Trinity we see that God does not
merely wish to forgive us and love us from a distance
but from within humanity. Thus God ultimately wishes all humanity to be drawn truly and substantially into
the communion of divine love He has enjoyed from all
eternity. This isn’t a math problem to be figured out
but a mystery to be passionately accepted.

WELCOME
We welcome priests from Jesuit High School who
are helping with Masses this weekend while Father
Reale is in St. Louis visiting family. They will also be
helping next weekend while Fr. Reale is attending
meetings at Loyola University here in New Orleans.
DID YOU NOTICE?
… that with the conclusion of the Easter Season last
Sunday, Pentecost, the Paschal Candle has been
moved from the sanctuary to its more usual location
near the baptismal font where it will be lit when
baptisms and funerals are celebrated.
VISITING IMMACULATE CONCEPTION?
Welcome! We are happy you are with us. If you
would like to read about the art and architecture of
our historic building, we invite you to consult the
brochure found at the back of the church. And if
you are here for the 8:00 a.m. or 9:30 a.m. Sunday
Mass, please join us afterwards for coffee and donuts in our parish hall.
DON’T FORGET…
A 30-minute docent-led tour of our church takes
place every Saturday beginning at 3:15 p.m.
NOVENA TO THE SACRED HEART
In anticipation of the Feast of the Sacred Heart,
we will be celebrating a Novena from June 4-12.
The text of the novena prayer, which can be
used in private devotion and which will also be
used at our daily Masses, appears later in this
bulletin.
FIRST FRIDAY ADORATION
Join us this Friday, June 5, for First Friday exposition
and adoration beginning immediately after the 7:30
a.m. Mass and concluding with benediction at 11:50
a.m., right before the Noon Mass. This is a great
opportunity to pray explicitly for the needs of our
parishioners and of others listed in our prayer lists.
DAY OF PRAYER & FASTING
The Bishops of Louisiana have designated Friday,
June 5 as a day of prayer and fasting for protection
during the upcoming hurricane season.
BAPTISMS
We celebrate, and continue to pray for, those infants baptized in our church in May: Lucia Isabel
Osteicoechea, Molly McCormack Bankston, Griffin
Edward Persand, John Xavier Renne, Ireland Reese
Burke, James Ross Bland, and Sophia Alexis Ebrahim.
Baptisms usually occur on the 2nd and 4th Sundays
of the month at noon, although other times can be
arranged. Also, we hold a monthly baptism preparation class for parents and godparents. The next
class is scheduled for June 11 at 5:00 p.m. in the parish rectory. For more information, or to register,
please contact the parish office.

JESUIT ORDINATIONS
Eight members of the Central and Southern Province
of the Society of Jesus (i.e. the Jesuit province created a year ago by the merging of the former Missouri
and New Orleans provinces) will be ordained to the
priesthood at a Mass taking place at Saint Joseph
Church (Tulane Avenue) at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday,
June 13. They are: Carlos D. Esparza SJ, Vincent A.
Giacabazi SJ, Randall Gibbens SJ, Joseph Hill SJ, John
Nugent SJ, Ronald O’Dwyer SJ, Quang Tran SJ and
José Ruiz-Andujo SJ. Many of these men will be celebrating their “first Mass” at our parish liturgies on
Sunday, the 14th. Please keep them in your prayers.
PLEASE CONSIDER …
… serving our parish as an extraordinary minister of
Holy Communion. Additional ministers are needed
for the 7:30 p.m. Sunday Mass, although there are
opportunities to serve at other Masses as well. To
do so, the Archdiocese requires participation in a
training workshop, the next of which will take place
on Saturday, July 11 (9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.) at Our
Lady of the Rosary (3368 Esplanade Avenue). If interested, please contact Fr. Reale soon. Workshop
spaces are limited.

HOLY FATHER’S JUNE PRAYER INTENTIONS
Immigrants and Refugees: That immigrants and refugees may find welcome and respect in the countries to
which they come.
Vocations: That the personal encounter with Jesus may
arouse in many young people the desire to offer their
own lives in priesthood or consecrated life.
A NOVENA PRAYER IN HONOR OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Lord Jesus Christ,
your heart was moved with love for the men and women
who came to you for help in their need.
You healed the sick, you fed the hungry,
you forgave sinners, you cried over the city of Jerusalem.
Above all, you showed others the way to true happiness,
for you are the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Lord, your heart is still moved by the needs of your people.
Open our hearts to hear your word, to accept your love,
and to respond to your call.
In particular, I beg you to grant me the favor I ask during this novena
[pause, and silently make your request],
provided that it will contribute to my own eternal good
and to the building up of your Kingdom of justice, peace and
love here on earth.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.
