The Most Holy Trinity..May 30, 2010 Page Four A Family Perspective..In many organizations the truth is hard to find, but in family life we are told the truth whether we want to hear it or not. Truth must be tempered with sensitivity kindness. We are challenged to disagree agreeably, correct constructively and fight fairly. Stewardship Message.Today s psalm reminds us that we have been crowned with glory and honor and given rule over the works of God s hands. But we must be good stewards, for the Lord will surely hold us accountable for the use of those gifts!

Page Six The Most Holy Trinity..May 30, 2010 PRAISE TO THE CREATOR The first reading, from Proverbs, is a beautiful doxology of the glory of Christ, who existed before all of creation. Christ is the Wisdom of God spoken of in the verse: from of old I was poured forth, / at the first, before the earth (Proverbs 8:23). Christ is described in terms of preexistence, of knowledge and wisdom of God, as the Child of God in whom the Creator delights, playing on the earth and delighting in the human race. Psalm 8 continues this hymn of praise to the Creator, enumerating all the wonders of creation, and marveling at the wonderful truth that God has put humanity at the forefront of it all, making us a little less than angels, crowned with glory and honor (Psalm 8:6). TODAY S READINGS First Reading Before anything was created, the wisdom of God was brought forth (Proverbs 8:22-31). Psalm O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8). Second Reading God s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us (Romans 5:1-5). Gospel Everything that the Father has is mine; the Spirit will take from what is mine and declare it to you (John 16:12-15). READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Zep 3:14-18 or Rom 12:9-16; Lk 1:39-56 Tuesday: 2 Pt 3:12-15a, 17-18; Mk 12:13-17 Wednesday: 2 Tm 1:1-3, 6-12; Mk 12:18-27 Thursday: 2 Tm 2:8-15; Mk 12:28b-34 Friday: 2 Tm 3:10-17; Mk 12:35-37 Saturday: 2 Tm 4:1-8; Mk 12:38-44 Sunday: Gn 14:18-20; Ps 110; 1 Cor 11:23-26; Lk 9:11b-17 SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: The Most Holy Trinity Monday: Ninth Week in Ordinary Time; Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; Memorial Day Tuesday: St. Justin Wednesday: Ss.
