How is the Trinity part of my prayer life? When I say the word God whom do I mean? To which member of the Trinity do I most relate best right now? What is going on in my life to make that so? 2. Who are the most loving people I know? What qualities do they have that I might foster in myself? 3. Where do I see God acting in the world today? Who mirrors God in the world for me? Readings for the Most Holy Trinity May 31, 2015 First Reading: Deuteronomy 4:32 34, The Lord is God in the heavens above and on earth below and there is no other. Second Reading: Romans 8:14 17 You received a spirit of adoption, through we cry, Abba, Father.

Sat. during May Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus: Mon. Sat. during June Litanies After the 8:30am Mass For Reflection: In what ways have I experienced the Persons of the Trinity in my life? Where does Jesus send me to make disciples? Trinity Sunday is about our relationship to God as well as the relationship that the three Persons of the Trinity have with each other. God is one God, one Lord: not in the unity of a single person, but in a Trinity of one substance, as today s preface indicates. God is a mystery desiring to be experienced and understood. As Moses speaks to the people in today s first reading, he reminds them that their experience of God has been unique. Ever since God created [humankind] upon the earth, no nation has experienced God as Israel has. In response, they are called to fix in your heart, that the LORD [YHWH in Hebrew] is God and that there is no other. Paul writes to the Romans that those who are led by the Spirit of God are [children] of God. God s revelation in Christ enables us to cry, Abba, Father. We have been given a share in the divine life. God wishes to be known by us as Father, Son, and Spirit. The human experience of God can be found in the world around us, in history, in Scripture, in Christ, and in our own hearts. These various means of revelation illustrate how much God wants to be known by us. Jesus commissions the apostles at the conclusion of Matthew s Gospel, sending them forward to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. This is our only encounter with the Trinitarian formula in the Gospels. But it establishes the baptismal practice that has been used by the church since the first century. Baptized into the Trinity, we are given a share in their divine life.

Thank you for your support. Quotes of St. Faustina about God s Mercy Tell souls not to place within their own hearts obstacles to My mercy, which so greatly wants to act within them. My mercy works in all those hearts which open their doors to it. Both the sinner and the righteous person have need of My mercy. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a grace of My mercy.

They are simple words, much easier to say than to put into practice, but they contain great strength: the strength of protecting the home, even through a thousand difficulties and trials; instead, when they are lacking, cracks gradually open up that can even lead it to collapse.

6 Pentecost 1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, The Reason for Gifts Look around your church and you will see many gifts. You will see those who sing and those who read, those who preach and those who greet. You will see some who feed the hungry and others who serve on committees. You will see some who decorate and others who converse. Some have a gift for leading prayer, for parenting children or for making people feel at home. Everybody has some gift. Still, not all gifts are equal. Some people excel at their gifts. Others exercise them less capably. The quality of the gift is not that important. It is important to exercise the gift, whatever its extent may be. The use of our gifts releases the power of the Spirit. St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. God gives gifts for a reason. They are meant to be nurtured and used. The gifts manifest the Spirit. When used properly, they draw attention to God who gives, not to the person who has received. The manifold gifts within one community show the marvels of the Holy Spirit. When people share their gifts, they create a spirit of selflessness and inspire others to service. They help everyone appreciate the goodness of God, who gives even before we ask. When people look at you, they also see gifts. For which gifts are you most grateful? How do you share them?
