Fr. Duc’s Message of the Week Feb. 16, 2025

Feb. 16, 2025

Dear Parishioners,

When the gospel talks about visible world, it also speaks about spiritual world. Jesus heals a lot of sicknesses, but the real healing he wants for us is the healing in our spirit, our soul. So, in the gospel today we hear about Jesus curing a leper, we, of course, rejoice with him and for him. But we must ask ourselves, “What spiritual illness of mine needs the healing touch of Jesus?”

Once upon a time, there was a holy man with a magic mirror. Whoever sincere and honest can come standing before the mirror, and it will show the real wellbeing of that person. But only the sage and that person can see what shows in the mirror, and no one else does. Though curious, many folks are scared by the idea of seeing their true inner form. Yet many did come and stood before the magic mirror.

A soldier, who had lost an arm and a leg in battle, saw a perfect body in the mirror. He asked the holy man, “Why?” The sage said, “Because you continue to work and serve as well as any able person.”

An elderly woman in a wheelchair saw a robust person preaching to a crowd inspiring awe from them. She shook her head in disbelief, “What is going on?” The sage smiled, “Your long suffering and earnest prayers from the wheelchair speak as eloquently and powerfully as the best preachers.”

A businessman came and couldn’t believe his eyes. He saw no human shape but many arms flailing about like tentacles. The sage said, “You grab and grope everywhere for profit and gain.”

A doctor came and saw her body full of sores and pus and blotches. She ran away without talking to the sage. She knew she had been more concerned about increasing her bank accounts than about treating patients.

A young man came, and the mirror showed his brain and his stomach burning in terrible fires. He dropped his head; though his wife and children hadn’t known, drugs and alcohol were ravaging his body.

A woman came and saw fire oozing from her mouth like lava coming from the mouth of a volcano, her tongue long and black like a serpent’s. She knew she had been gossiping badly about many people.

A priest came and saw only the back of his body and without any leg. He asked the holy man, “Why?” The sage looked sad, “You only follow your own pursuit, ignoring what Jesus teaches and the Church informs. You have no standing before God.”

A scientist came and saw a brilliant light shining from his head but a black hole at his heart. The sage explained, “That is because you worship science without a conscience. You use science to deny God. But you will fail.” …

Now, it is your turn, and mine, to stand still before the magic mirror.

What do you see? What do you want to do about what you see?

In 1981 Peter Cropper, the British violinist, was invited to Finland to play a special concert. As a personal favor to Peter, the Royal Academy of Music lent him their priceless 285-year-old Stradivarius for use in the concert.

This rare instrument takes its name from the Italian violin maker, Antonio Stradivari. It was made of 80 pieces of special wood and covered with 30 coats of special varnish. Its beautiful sound has never been duplicated.

When Cropper got to Finland, an incredible nightmare took place. Going on stage, he tripped and fell. The violin broke into several pieces. He flew back to London, totally shocked. A master craftsman named Charles Beare agreed to try to repair the violin. He worked endless hours on it.

Finally, he got it back together again. Then came the dreaded moment of truth. What would the violin sound like? Beare handed the violin to Cropper. His heart was pounding inside, as he picked up the bow and began to play. Those present could hardly believe their ears. Not only was the violin’s sound excellent, but it seemed better than before. In the months ahead, Cropper took the violin on a worldwide tour. Night after night, the violin everyone thought was ruined forever drew standing ovations from concert audiences.

Whatever you see in the magic mirror – a leper, a broken violin, or anything else –  Jesus’s healing touch is waiting for you and me. The same touch that created us in the first place will restore in us the image and likeness of God.

Jesus is waiting.

In the Most Holy Trinity and in solidarity with you all,

Fr. Duc

Ông Bà Anh Chị Em quý mến,

Khi Phúc Âm nói về thế giới hữu hình, nó cũng đề cập đến thế giới tâm linh. Chúa Giêsu chữa lành rất nhiều bệnh tật, nhưng sự chữa lành thực sự mà Người muốn làm cho chúng ta là sự chữa lành tâm linh. Vì vậy, trong Phúc Âm hôm nay, chúng ta nghe về việc Chúa Giêsu chữa lành một người phong cùi, tất nhiên chúng ta vui mừng với và cho anh ta. Nhưng chúng ta phải tự hỏi, “Căn bệnh tâm linh nào của tôi cần sự chữa lành từ Chúa Giêsu?”

Ngày xửa ngày xưa, có một người hiền triết thánh nhân có một chiếc gương huyền bí. Bất kỳ ai chân thành và tin tưởng đều có thể đến đứng trước tấm gương, và nó sẽ trình bày cho thấy con người trung thực của họ. Nhưng chỉ có nhà hiền triết và người đó mới có thể nhìn thấy những gì hiển thị trong gương, và không ai khác có thể. Mặc dù tò mò, nhiều người lo sợ hiện tượng nhìn thấy hình dạng bên trong thực sự của họ. Tuy nhiên, cũng có nhiều người đã đến và đứng trước chiếc gương kỳ diệu.

Một người lính, đã cụt một cánh tay và một chân trong trận chiến, lại nhìn thấy một cơ thể hoàn hảo trong gương. Anh ta hỏi vị thánh nhân, “Tại sao lại như vậy?” Nhà hiền triết nói, “Bởi vì anh vẫn tiếp tục làm việc và phục vụ tốt như bất kỳ người có đầy đủ năng lực.”

Một bà lão ngồi xe lăn nhìn thấy một người khỏe mạnh đang thuyết giảng trước đám đông khiến họ vô cùng kính sợ. Bà lắc đầu không tin, “Chuyện gì đang xảy ra vậy?” Nhà hiền triết mỉm cười, “Những lời cầu nguyện tha thiết và đau khổ của bà từ chiếc xe lăn có sức thuyết phục và hùng hồn như những nhà thuyết giáo giỏi nhất.”

Một doanh nhân đến và không tin vào mắt mình. Ông không thấy hình người nào mà chỉ thấy nhiều cánh tay quơ quài như những cái vòi bạch tuộc. Nhà hiền triết nói, “Ông chộp giật và lục lọi khắp nơi để kiếm lợi.”

Một bác sĩ đến và nhìn thấy cơ thể bà đầy vết loét, mủ và vết thâm. Bà bỏ chạy mà không nói chuyện với nhà hiền triết. Bà biết mình đã lo lắng nhiều về việc tăng tài khoản ngân hàng của mình hơn là điều trị cho bệnh nhân.

Một thanh niên đến, và tấm gương cho thấy não và dạ dày của anh ta đang cháy trong ngọn lửa khủng khiếp. Anh ta cúi đầu; mặc dù vợ và các con anh ta không biết, nhưng ma túy và rượu nồng đang tàn phá cơ thể anh ta.

Một người phụ nữ đến và nhìn thấy lửa trào ra từ miệng bà như dung nham phun ra từ miệng núi lửa, lưỡi bà dài và đen như lưỡi rắn. Cô biết mình đã nói xấu nhiều người.

Một vị linh mục đến và chỉ thấy phần lưng của ông và không có chân. Ông hỏi vị thánh hiền, “Tại sao?” Nhà hiền triết trông buồn bã, “Ông chỉ theo đuổi mục đích của riêng mình, bỏ qua những gì Chúa Giêsu dạy và Giáo Hội hướng dẫn. Ông không có chỗ đứng trước mặt Thiên Chúa.”

Một nhà khoa học đến và thấy một luồng sáng rực rỡ chiếu từ đầu ông nhưng lại có một lỗ đen ở tim. Nhà hiền triết giải thích, “Đó là vì ông tôn thờ khoa học mà không có lương tâm. Ông dùng khoa học để phủ nhận Thiên Chúa. Nhưng ông sẽ thất bại.” …

Bây giờ, đến lượt bạn, và tôi, đứng yên trước tấm gương huyền bí.

Bạn nhìn thấy gì? Bạn muốn làm gì với những gì bạn nhìn thấy?

Năm 1981, Peter Cropper, nghệ sĩ vĩ cầm người Anh, được mời đến Phần Lan để chơi một buổi hòa nhạc đặc biệt. Để tỏ lòng biết ơn cá nhân với Peter, Học viện Âm nhạc Hoàng gia đã cho ông mượn cây đàn Stradivarius vô giá 285 năm tuổi của họ để sử dụng trong buổi hòa nhạc.

Nhạc cụ quý hiếm này lấy tên từ nghệ nhân làm đàn vĩ cầm người Ý, Antonio Stradivari. Nó được làm từ 80 miếng gỗ độc đáo và phủ 30 lớp véc ni đặc biệt. Âm thanh tuyệt vời của nó chưa bao giờ được sao chép.

Khi Cropper đến Phần Lan, một cơn ác mộng đáng kinh ngạc đã xảy ra. Khi lên sân khấu, ông ta vấp ngã. Cây vĩ cầm vỡ ra nhiều mảnh. Ông vội bay trở lại London, hoàn toàn bị sốc. Một nghệ nhân bậc thầy tên là Charles Beare đã đồng ý cố gắng sửa chữa cây vĩ cầm. Ông đã làm việc không ngừng nghỉ trong một thời gian dài.

Cuối cùng, ông đã lắp ráp lại được nó. Rồi đến khoảnh khắc sự thật đáng sợ. Cây vĩ cầm sẽ rung lên âm thanh nào? Beare đưa cây vĩ cầm cho Cropper. Tim ông ta đập thình khi cầm cây vĩ lên và bắt đầu chơi. Những người có mặt ở đó khó có thể tin vào tai mình. Không chỉ âm thanh của cây vĩ cầm tuyệt vời, mà nó còn có vẻ hay hơn trước. Trong những tháng tiếp theo, Cropper đã mang cây vĩ cầm đi lưu diễn khắp thế giới. Đêm này qua đêm khác, cây vĩ cầm mà mọi người nghĩ rằng đã hư hỏng mãi mãi đã nhận được sự hoan nghênh nhiệt liệt từ khán giả của các buổi hòa nhạc.

Bất kể bạn nhìn thấy gì trong tấm gương kỳ diệu – một người phong hủi, một cây vĩ cầm bị hỏng, hay bất kỳ thứ gì khác – thì sự chạm tới chữa lành của Chúa Giêsu đang chờ đợi bạn và tôi. Chính ngón tay đã tạo ra chúng ta ngay từ đầu sẽ tái tạo chúng ta trở lại hình ảnh giống như Chúa.

Chúa Giêsu đang chờ đợi.

Hiệp thông trong Chúa Ba Ngôi và hiệp nhất với ông bà anh chị em,

Dear Parishioners,

“Life is a banquet in which the wine always runs out.” Just in case you think that the
phrase “Life is a banquet” is made up by some party animal, I want to assure you that it comes from the Bible. In the Scriptures, the relationship between God and his people is described in the image of a bridegroom and his bride. And in describing the joy God finds among his people, the joy of the kingdom of God, the Bible uses the image of a wedding feast. It’s no wonder that Jesus started his public ministry at a wedding feast.

It doesn’t matter which path of life one is in: marriage, religious vocation, or singlehood.
Neither does it matter what profession one pursues. Sooner or later, the initial excitement, the bursting joy, once thought of as unlimited, starts running out. All that remains is the “water” of routine, dullness, and even disillusionment. Not just for the ordinary folks like you and me, but also for the rich and famous.

Earnest Hemmingway, winner of many prestigious awards, including the Pulitzer and
Nobel Prize, always lived his life to the fullest. A newspaper reporter, ambulance driver during WWII, involved in the Spanish Civil War, friend to bullfighters as well as authors – he did it all. But there came a day when his wine ran out. He took his shotgun, pressed the barrels to his forehead, and pulled the trigger.

It happens in everyone’s life. The wine runs out. The crucial question is, “What should I
do?” Many married couples are tempted to run out with the wine, “There is nothing in it for me anymore.” Sounds familar, doesn’t it? Well, that attitude reveals a terrible selfishness. For such people, marriage is only a passing alliance between two selfish human beings. So, when they have taken all they can from each other, they look elsewhere for more fruit that can be picked and eaten without pain or effort, an illusion that is bound to repeat.

The old wine must run out for the new wine to come in. First love, however romantically
beautiful, cannot last. It is bound to wear out. Really not a bad thing. In fact, it has to wear out if a new and deeper love is to be born. The new love consists in putting the other person before oneself. One has to forget oneself and find joy in loving rather than being loved, in giving rather than in receiving. When both are giving, both are also receiving. The new wine has formed, much better than the old wine.

The key element in making the new wine is to invite the Winemaker, Jesus Christ, into
our banquet, our home, our life, our heart. Some time ago a woman wrote a fascinating article about redecorating her family’s home. Things went well until her husband overruled the interior decorator and hung a 16- by 20-inch picture of Jesus in the most prominent place in the home. The woman tried to get her husband to reconsider, but he absolutely refused. Then, during a discussion with him, she recalled these words of Jesus: “If anyone declares publicly that he belongs to me, I will do the same for him before my Father in heaven.” (Mt 10:32)

That settled it. Her husband won. Now she says she’s glad her husband won, because she
thinks that picture of Jesus has had a remarkable effect on her family – and on visitors. For
example, one day a stranger kept glancing at the picture. Finally, he turned to the woman and said, “You know, that Jesus doesn’t look at you; he looks right through you.’’ And one night a friend sitting across from the picture said, “I always feel so peaceful in your home.’’

The picture’s most striking impact, however, is on conversations, says the woman. It
inevitably draws them to a higher level. The woman ends her article by saying she knows people will smile at her remarks and even ridicule them, but she doesn’t care. “This much I know,’’ she says. “When you invite Jesus into your home, you’re never the same again.’’

Life is a banquet in which the wine always runs out. But with Jesus as our guest, we will
enjoy a new wine, thousand times more uplifting and exciting. What are we waiting for?

In the Most Holy Trinity and in solidarity with you all,

Dear Parishioners,

This week we commemorate the baptism of Jesus. This Sunday is also the last day of the Advent-Christmas season. On Monday, we will begin the first week of the Ordinary Time. All these decorations will be gone. The Church wants us to prepare ourselves for the new season by embracing our identity as followers of Jesus. Our Christian identity derives all its meanings and implications from the very identity of Jesus. In the event of the baptism of Jesus, God reveals to us who Jesus is: the Messiah, the Son of God.

As the Son of the Most High, who is sinless, why did Jesus want to receive baptism? Isn’t baptism for the cleansing of sins, especially, of the original sin? This is a good question, and our ancestors in faith did ask the same question. To answer it, we need to understand the full meaning of baptism.

In the ancient world, water is a symbol of both life and death. When a gentile converts to Judaism, he goes through the ritual of Tebilah, which is a rite of passage. There are three stages in such a rite: the separation from a previous state, an in-between state called liminal period, and the reception into a new state. The gentile wishing to become an Israelite must be separated first from his old gentile state. And the way to separate him from his old state is to return him to the primal womb, the water of chaotic nothingness. So, he is immersed in water. While being immersed in water, the convert is symbolically severed from his gentile state; he undergoes a symbolic death, a death to the old self. In this liminal period, he is neither gentile nor Jew; he is returned to nothingness. Then he is called out of the water. Emerging from the water, he is given his new Israelite state. Yahweh has bestowed on him a new life, a life in God and with God’s people.

Baptism not only erases the old self, the self of sins and brokenness, but also brings about a new identity, a new life in God, a new fellowship with other believers. Therefore, Jesus accepted baptism by John the Baptist, not to be cleansed of sins, but to show his total solidarity with us in our sinfulness and to call us to share his identity as the beloved of God.

We were all baptized. In baptism, we were cleansed of previous sins, both original and
personal. In baptism, we also received a new identity. The cleansing of sin in baptism is a one-time shot, but the new identity as God’s beloved is a life-time process. Whether baptism has any impact on us depends on whether the new Christian identity is really taking shape in our lives. The issue for us, the baptized, then is, What has happened to this God-given identity?

We live in a world of multiple identities. Each one of us has many identities. I am a
Vietnamese, a Jesuit, a priest, an American citizen. To the media, I am an internet user, a
consumer, a shopper, a voter, etc. We are all surrounded by a great number of identity-forming influences. These influences not only compete against each other but also gang up to suffocate our Christian identity. If we are not careful, our identity as Catholics will be soon swallowed up by others.

However, all identities are temporary and fleeting, except for the identity of being a child
of God, the identity of a Christian. Whether we are a president or a pope, a CEO or a worker, all will be nothing when we close our eyes and die. When we stand before the Supreme Judge, Jesus Christ, only the identity of being a child of God will be judged. Therefore, we must cherish our Christian identity above all other identities.

Just as God said to Jesus in his baptism, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well
pleased,” God said to each one of us in our baptism, “You are my beloved; with you I am well
pleased.” Indeed, God said so not only on the day of our baptism, but he also continues to say so every day of our life, regardless of our behaviors. Do you hear that? I mean, Do you hear that, right now? If you and I really hear that and make it a reality, our life will change, for the better.

In the Most Holy Trinity and in solidarity with you all,

Fr. Duc

Dear Parishioners,


On the feast of Christ the King, I invite you to reflect on the story of a king. It is the story
of The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain. Prince Edward was the first son of the King of
England, so he was also the crown prince who succeeded his father. When Edward was born, the whole country was filled with joy after many years of waiting. The King declared Edward’s


birthday a national holiday, and ordered all places to hold banquets to celebrate. People danced and prayed to God for Prince Edward. On the same day, a boy named Tom was born in a dilapidated house in the slums of London. When Tom was born, his mother cried like rain, because she did not know how to feed him. His father cursed him as an unfortunate, redundant son. When his alcoholism took hold, he abused his wife and children mercilessly. Although Tom was taught to read and write by a loving priest, he eventually had to beg.


One day, while wandering around begging, Tom approached the royal palace. He kept
staring at the splendid palace. He was so fascinated by the magnificence of the palace that when the guard shouted to chase him away, he still did not hear. The angry guard was about to raise his hand to grab the boy’s neck and beat him up. Coincidentally, Prince Edward was walking inside, and saw this and stopped the guard. Seeing a boy of the same age, Edward invited Tom to visit the palace.


Of course, before taking the beggar boy to visit the palace, the prince had to let him
bathe and change his clothes to suit the palace. Because they were the same age and stature, Edward lent Tom his royal robe. When standing in front of the large mirror, both were amazed because they looked exactly the same. The only difference was the beggar boy’s skinny body and messy hair. That could change very easily, the prince chuckled.


After Tom had been groomed and fed for a while, no one could tell who was Edward and
who was Tom. Then a bold idea came to the prince’s mind. Tom would stay in the palace and
play the prince, while Edward would leave the palace and wear the ragged clothes of a beggar. When he got bored, he would change back.


Of course, the courtiers all thought there was something wrong with the prince, because
his behavior had changed so much. But when they let the prince judge a problem, his mind was still clear. So they thought it was just a change of puberty. As for the beggar boy, oh my, he suffered all kinds of mistreatment and ostracism. At home, he was scolded like a dog, and when he went out, he was bullied and humiliated. Wherever he went, he was either bullied or shunned. When he was hungry, he begged and no one gave him anything. When he was so hungry that he stole, he was beaten up.


Then Edward heard that the courtiers were preparing to crown Tom king, so he decided
to return to the palace. As soon as he reached the gate, the guard grabbed him by the neck and pushed him to the ground. The more he argued that he was Prince Edward, the harder the guard stepped on his head. Finally, Edward had to use the prince’s seal as proof before the guard believed him.

After restoring the crown prince’s throne and becoming king, Edward rewarded Tom with
the position of manager in the royal palace. After that life-changing event, both Edward and Tom had profound changes. But the greatest and most wonderful change was in the king’s personality. King Edward understood what it was like to be poor and unjust, what it was like to have a broken family, what it was like to be humiliated and ostrasized. Thanks to that, Edward became a kind, just, and wise king like never before.


Jesus Christ, the King of the Universe, took on our sinful and beggarly condition and
gave us His glorious royal robe. Do we trust that: God understands all our suffering and
weakness? And most of all, do we believe God wants us to fully enjoy His most precious gifts?

Christ’s kingly role is not expressed through power and money, position and talent, but through boundless mercy, ultimate sacrifice, boundless trust in the will of the Father. If we want to live in the style of the King of the Universe, we should not rely on power, rush to grab money or to seek fame, consider talent as lasting value, and especially put ourselves above others. If we keep pursuing ambition, at the end of our lives, we will discover that it is all just an empty illusion. The more we cling to it, the more suffering and pain we will have. Then when we have to stand before the Supreme Judge, who is also the King of the Universe, our beggarly identity will be completely bare.

When we reject the kingly identity that Jesus came down to teach and exemplify, we continue to take on the identity of a beggar, no matter how much silk and velvet we are covered with on the outside, no matter how many people around us are praising and flattering us. The kingly identity is linked to the truth. The beggarly identity is hidden in darkness. Christ the King of the Universe wants to give each of us the kingly identity. Do we want to exchange with Him?

In the Most Holy Trinity and in solidarity with you all,

Fr. Duc

Dear Parishioners,

The movie Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is the story of a man about to be hanged. Enemy
soldiers march him out to a bridge across Owl Creek. They take a board and place it so that half if it rests on the bridge and the other half extends over the edge of the bridge.

Then one of the soldiers stands on the half that rests on the bridge, and the condemned man is made to walk out and stand on the half that extends over the edge of the bridge. Next, the man’s hands and legs are tied, and a rope is dropped from the top of the bridge and put around the man’s neck.

When everything is ready, the commanding officer barks the order. The soldier steps off the
board and the condemned man plunges downward with the rope around his neck.

Then something strange happens. The rope breaks, and the man goes plummeting into the river far below. Down, down into the water he sinks. As he does, he’s aware that he’s alive and struggles to free his hands and feet. Miraculously, he manages to untie himself.

Realizing he has a second chance at life, the man begins to swim down the river. As he does, he passes a tree branch floating in the water. He is struck by the beauty of the leaves on the branch. He marvels at the intricate pattern of veins in the leaves. Then the man sees a spider spinning a web. He is struck by the beauty of the web and the tiny drops of water clinging to it like sparkling diamonds.

He feels the wetness of the water on his body. He looks up and sees the blue sky. Never has the world looked so beautiful to him. Suddenly the soldiers on the bridge begin to fire at the man. He fights his way through a hail of bullets, past a water snake, and over a waterfall.

Finally, he swims ashore totally exhausted. He drops to the sand and rolls over and over. He
looks up and sees a flower. He crawls over to it and smells it. Everything is so beautiful; it’s so great to be alive.

Then a bullet whistles through the trees, and he leaps to his feet and begins to run. He runs and runs until he comes to a house with a white fence around it. The gate swings open mysteriously. The man can’t believe his eyes. He is back home safe. He calls his wife’s name, and she comes running out of the house, arms outstretched to greet him.

Just as they embrace, the camera takes us back to Owl Creek Bridge. This time, we can’t believe our eyes. We see the body of the same man plunge downward with the rope around his neck. Then we see his body swinging back and forth, back and forth. The man is dead.

We are left stunned. All the effort, the running, the second chance were pure make-believe. The man had not escaped after all. He merely imagined that he had in the split second as he fell to his death.

He merely imagined that he had gotten a second chance at life — a life he suddenly saw in a
different way, a life he suddenly saw through new eyes. For the first time, the man saw the world for what it is — a beautiful place. For the first time, the man saw life for what it is— a precious gift to be shared with those we love. How differently the man would have lived his new life if he had really escaped and had really been given a second chance!

Today’s gospel invites us to reflect on the moment when we will meet Jesus at the end of our lives or at the end of the world — whichever comes first. It invites us to ask ourselves: How satisfied will we be at that moment with the quality of our life? Unlike the man in the story, we have a second chance to prepare for that hour — beginning right now.

What will we do with our second chance? Will we sincerely try to make an effort to love, as
Jesus did? Will we sincerely try to make an effort to serve, as Jesus did? This second chance is also the last chance, and it can end any moment.

In the Most Holy Trinity and in solidarity with you all,

Fr. Duc
