The light of Eastertide and of Pentecost renews in us every year the joy and amazement of faith: let us recognize that God is not something vague, our God is not a God spray, he is tangible; he is not abstract but has a name: God is love. His is not a sentimental, emotional kind of love but the love of the Father who is the origin of all life, the love of the Son who dies on the Cross and is raised, the love of the Spirit who renews human beings and the world. Thinking that God is love does us so much good, because it teaches us to love, to give ourselves to others as Jesus gave himself to us and walks with us. Jesus walks beside us on the road through life." Today we can celebrate a merciful and faithful FATHER who never forgets that we are his gift of life for the world and for all eternity. Today we can celebrate the life, death and resurrection gift that Jesus, the SON continues to be for us. Today we can celebrate the work of the SPIRIT OF LOVE within us and among us. Happy Trinity Sunday Fr. Hamish Pentecost Pastors Pen

8 Ninth Week of Ordinary Time This week begins with Trinity Sunday which always follows Pentecost. It celebrates the un-knowable relationship between the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit - and their loving support for us in our lives. I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. This week we recognize the sacrifices made by a number of martyrs in the Church. Monday is the Memorial of St. Justin, Martyr. Wednesday we remember St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs. Friday is the Memorial of St. Boniface, Bishop and Martyr. This week is our only exposure to the Book of Tobit in the two year cycle of weekday readings. The Book of Tobit is a novel in the Wisdom literature tradition. We read the story of the misfortunes Tobit and a young woman, named Sarah. The story is about God's fidelity, even though they are tested, and their perseverance in prayer and works of charity. The songs of praise in Tobit this week are extraordinary. Mark's Gospel offers stories of how Jesus is in the midst of a struggle with the religious leaders in Jerusalem who do not like them. He tells them the Parable of the tenant farmers, telling them that the stone rejected by builders has become the cornerstone. They almost arrest him. His opponents try to ensnare Jesus with question about the temple tax, but he isn't trapped by them. When they question him about the resurrection, Jesus tells a parable which teaches that God is the God of the living. "to love your neighbor as yourself is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. When asked which is the first commandment, Jesus gives two - highlighting the equal importance of love of God and neighbor. Jesus is both Son of David and Messiah and Lord. Jesus warns of those who abuse widows on spiritual pretexts and tells his disciples to notice the widow who gave from her poverty. Next Sunday is The Soleminity Of The Most Holy Body And Blood of Christ. This is our Parish Feast. ********
