St Mary’s Catholic Parish Warwick Vision Statement
To live the Gospel by celebrating together, sustaining a welcoming parish
and serving Jesus Christ through the joys and sorrows of our wider
community.
TRINITY SUNDAY
The Church closes the long Lent-Paschaltide liturgical season with a feast that invites us to sit back and reflect on the nature of God as revealed in the Paschal mystery: the feast of the Holy Trinity. It is, of course, through the experience of that mystery and subsequent theological reflection on it that the early Christians were led to know God as three Persons in the one divine essence. The doctrine of the Trinity is not, then, an arid theological puzzle but a necessary conclusion from a sense of being grasped by and held within a divine communion of love. There could be no clearer expression of the absolute continuity between the loving act of Christ and the attitude towards human beings of the Father than that expressed in the Gospel for today, taken from the concluding part of Jesus’ response to Nicodemus (John 3:16-18). COMMUNION OF LIFE AND LOVE God’s whole approach to the world is that of rescuing it from its bondage to sin and death in order to draw all human beings into the communion of life and love that is the Godhead. This is the work of the Son. The task of judgment, which more conventional religious expectation might see as belonging to God, is in fact brought ‘down to earth’. Each one determines for himself or herself what their judgment will be precisely as they decide to accept or not accept the revelation of God as a God of love, that comes to us through Jesus. “My friends, we cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any
form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life.” Pope Francis June 3 2020

REFLECTION
National Prayer for Drought
Eternal God, in wisdom & love You created our
earth to sustain us & give us life. We turn to You
in faith, hope & love, asking You to look with
favour on our drought-stricken land, on our
starving animals, on our failing crops.
Strengthen, sustain & give new heart to our
farmers & all who are affected by drought; be with
those who support them. In Your loving
providence, send abundant rain & restore our
parched earth. Father of all compassion, hear our
prayer, through Jesus Christ Your Son, in Whom
the promise of new life has dawned, & through
the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of
life; Renew the face of the earth. Our Lady of the
Southern Cross, Mary Help of Christians—Pray
for us. St Mary of the Cross MacKillop—Pray for
us. Amen.
Nicodemus, a member of the ruling elite of the Jewish people, wants to believe in Jesus but is afraid to do so publicly, so he comes to Jesus at night (John 3:2). Darkness and night are often used in John as symbols of an inability to accept the truth of who Jesus is, but still Nicodemus is drawn. He is open to the truth but fears the consequences. One of those consequences is that belief in Jesus as Son of the Father leads to life, while rejecting that truth leads to condemnation. In John, ‘the world’ is used as a symbol of unbelief or darkness, but Jesus tells Nicodemus that the world is not to be condemned because the light has come into the world. It is now up to individuals to recognise that light and come to belief. Only thus can the world be saved. Jesus is also showing the relationship he has with the Father—that of the only Son.
Do you empathise with Nicodemus at all?
Is there a niggling fear or uncertainty about coming to
believe in Jesus and learning more about him?
In what ways does Jesus give you a glimpse of God?

PRAYER FOR PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
Almighty and all-merciful God, lover of the human race, healer of all our wounds, in whom there is no shadow of death, save us in this time of crisis; grant wisdom and courage to our leaders; watch over all medical people as they tend the sick and work for a cure; stir in us a sense of solidarity beyond all isolation; if our doors are closed, let our hearts be open. By the power of your love destroy the virus of fear, that hope may never die and the light of Easter, the triumph of life, may shine upon us and the whole world. Through Jesus Christ, the Lord risen from the dead, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen. Holy Mary, health of the sick, pray for us. St Joseph, guardian of us all, pray for us.
The Most Reverend Mark Coleridge
