 THE MYSTERY OF THE BLESSED TRINITY

                Today we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. The Church sets aside this Sunday to focus our attention on the mystery of the Blessed Trinity, God who is one, but three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

                The first reading from Deuteronomy emphasizes both God’s awesome greatness and amazing nearness. It might seem beyond belief, but the God of all creation speaks to us, protects us, and guides us. The second reading from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Romans describes how we are to relate to the three persons who are one God. We are led by the Spirit to meet God the Father as adopted children. Our adoption is such that we are even heirs with our brother, Christ, the second person of the Trinity, in whose sufferings we must also share. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus speaks with his authority as God and sends us to teach and baptize in the name of the Trinity.

EL MISTERIO DE LA SANTÍSIMA TRINIDAD 

                Hoy celebramos la solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad. La Iglesia dedica este domingo a centrar nuestra atención en el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad, Dios, que es uno, en tres personas: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.

                La primera lectura de Deuteronomio hace énfasis en la grandeza imponente de Dios y su cercanía asombrosa. Puede parecer increíble, pero el Dios de toda la creación nos habla, nos protege y nos guía. La segunda lectura, tomada de la carta de San Pablo a los Romanos, describe la forma en que se relacionan las tres personas que son un solo Dios. El Espíritu nos guía para cumplir con Dios Padre como hijos adoptivos. Nuestra adopción es tal que somos incluso los herederos de nuestro hermano, Cristo, la segunda persona de la Trinidad, cuyos sufrimientos también debemos compartir. En el Evangelio según San Mateo, Jesús habla con la autoridad de Dios y nos envía a enseñar y bautizar en nombre de la Trinidad.

Pope Benedict XVI Letters

A must-read for all of the Lay Faithful. Pope Benedict XVI wrote these letters to you, honor him by reading them.

Pastor's Corner...

As Catholics, we go to Mass not because we simply "feel like going"; nor do we go to satisfy our personal sensibilities. We go because Christ calls us, the Holy Spirit gathers us, and God the Father commands it. We go to receive there our dignity as children of God, and to receive as well the strength to live in Christ.

To be part of the congregation at the Sunday Mass is a grace from God, who brings together his children from all sides, and shapes them into the Body of Christ. Each parish community reveals its particular character at the Sunday Mass because those who are gathered there have not chosen each other, but all have been chosen by God.

 

- Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger
late Archbishop of Paris

Trinity Sunday - 2012
There are three paths to knowledge that we frequently walk… thinking using concepts, thinking using pictures or images, and thinking using our experiences. They are all routes to truth even though experience seems to be the most favored route these days. This is curious to me because learning through experience gives us some of life’s harshest lessons. We learn the hard way along that route. The other routes are not so harsh.
