THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

June 15, 2014

God so loved the world that he

gave his only Son. — John 3:16a

LIFE IN THE TRINITY The name of the Trinity is, without a doubt, the most fa-

miliar sacred name to us. We speak it every time we make

the sign of the cross, and it forms the heart of our Creed.

Trinity Sunday is a good day, however, stop and reflect on

the unique role of each of the three persons we name so

often in the Trinity and in our own lives. When we cele-

brate the Eucharist on Sunday, we come together as the

Body of Christ through our baptism, and through the

power of the Holy Spirit we offer the whole prayer of the

Mass to God the Father. This presence of the Trinity does

not stop when we leave church on Sunday. We are—

always and everywhere—members of the Body, and every

thing we do as members of that Body is empowered by

the Holy Spirit, all of it offered to the glory of our loving

Father. Take a moment each day this week to reflect on

how the persons of the Trinity were present to you during

the day, and how other people came to see the presence of

the to Trinity in your witness to the Good News. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PLEASE PRAY FOR the repose of the soul of William

Cox. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful de-

parted rest in the peace and joy of the Lord.

determine how you want our parish family to develop

over the next few years. Thank you to all those who

have completed and returned their surveys. If you have

not returned your survey, time is running out. Please

complete it this week and return it to the parish office in
