The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity (Trinity Sunday) ~ 31 May, 2015

 
"O Most Holy Trinity, I adore You! 
My God, my God, I love You 
in the Most Blessed Sacrament!"
Prayer taught to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francesco 
by the Angel of Peace at Fatima

.... the mystery of the Holy Trinity renews the Christian mission 
of living in communion with God and others ....... and 
the Church is called to build an ecclesial community 
�that is more and more a family.�
He called on the faithful 
to entrust themselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary, 
�who more than any other creature has known, adored, and loved 
the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity.�
~*~ Pope Francis ~*~


Shine, Jesus, shine,

fill this land with the Father�s glory.
Blaze, Spirit, blaze,
set out hearts on fire.


A week after the Descend of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, we now honour the Holy Trinity, the three persons of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit who are all equally God, and cannot be divided. The Holy Trinity is the most fundamental belief of Christians. The Father is the first Divine Person, the Son is the second Divine Person, begotten from the nature of the Father from eternity, and the Holy Spirit is the third Divine Person, proceeding from the Father and the Son.

God is a Triune God.

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
All three are One Person 
and Completely God.
All three is of the same nature, same substance, 
and same being.


The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith and of Christian life. God alone can make it known to us by revealing himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. ~ ccc 261


"Now this is the Catholic faith: We worship one God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity, without either confusing the persons or dividing the substance; for the person of the Father is one, the Son's is another, the Holy Spirit's another; but the Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal" (Athanasian Creed: DS 75; ND 16). ~ ccc 266


When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father�the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father�he will testify about me. ~ John 15:26

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. ~ 2 Corinthians 13:14

God our Father, who by sending into the world the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification made known to the human race your wondrous mystery, grant us, we pray, that in profession the true faith, we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Reading 1
Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40
Moses said to the people:
"Ask now of the days of old, before your time,
ever since God created man upon the earth;
ask from one end of the sky to the other:
Did anything so great ever happen before?
Was it ever heard of?
Did a people ever hear the voice of God
speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live?
Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself
from the midst of another nation,
by testings, by signs and wonders, by war,
with strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors,
all of which the LORD, your God,
did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
This is why you must now know,
and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God
in the heavens above and on earth below,
and that there is no other.
You must keep his statutes and commandments that I enjoin on you today,
that you and your children after you may prosper,
and that you may have long life on the land
which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."


Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 33:4-5, 6, 9, 18-19, 20, 22
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the Lord the earth is full.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made;
by the breath of his mouth all their host.
For he spoke, and it was made;
he commanded, and it stood forth.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield.
May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.


Reading 2
Romans 8:14-17
Brothers and sisters:
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
but you received a Spirit of adoption,
through whom we cry, �Abba, Father!�
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God,
and if children, then heirs,
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if only we suffer with him
so that we may also be glorified with him.

Alleluia
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
to God who is, who was, and who is to come.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel
Matthew 28:16-20
The eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

Lee Kuan Yew
Founding Father and First Premier of Singapore

May your soul REST in PEACE, 
Mr.Lee Kuan Yew. 

You will always be REMEMBERED as one of outstanding 
MAN, LEADER and PRIME MINISTER 
in the world.

You carried me when I was 3 years old .... 
Thank you for your care and concern during my emergency.


�I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn't be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters - who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right. Never mind what the people think.� 
? Lee Kuan Yew

Even from my sick bed, even if you are going to lower me into the grave and I feel something is going wrong, I will get up.
? Lee Kuan Yew


�I wouldn�t call myself an atheist. I neither deny nor accept that there is a God. So I do not laugh at people who believe in God. But I do not necessarily believe in God � nor deny that there could be one.�

Holy Week 2015

 

Holy week 2015 begin on 29 March 2015 (Palm Sunday) and ends on the 4 April 2015 (Holy Saturday). Holy week commemorates the Passion of Christ, and the day of the Holy week are Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday), Good Friday and Holy Saturday. Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday), Good Friday and Holy Saturday  (Easter Vigil) is also known as Easter Triduum or Paschal Triduum which marks the most significant events of Holy Week. The word "Triduum" simply means any three-day continuous period of prayer. Easter Triduum day 1 is from sundown Maundy Thursday till sundown Good Friday, day 2 is from sundown Good Friday till sundown Holy Saturday, and day 3 is from sundown Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil) till sundown Easter Sunday. Easter Vigil celebration is the highest point (climax) of the Easter Triduum.





Palm Sunday, we celebrate Christ's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem, when palm branches were placed in His path.


Matthew 21:1-11

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King

21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, �Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.�

4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5 �Say to Daughter Zion,

�See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.��
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
�Hosanna to the Son of David!�
�Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!�
�Hosanna in the highest heaven!�
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, �Who is this?�
11 The crowds answered, �This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.�




Four days after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, Jesus Christ celebrates the Last Supper with His disciples on Holy Thursday. On this Holy Thursday the three pillars of the Catholic Faith which are the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the priesthood, and the Holy Mass are instituted by Christ. Holy Thursday, the Mass of the Lord's Supper is celebrated after sundown. After the mass the altar is stripped bare, and all bells in the church are silent until the Gloria at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday and the Blessed Sacrament The Holy Eucharist is taken to place for silent adoration. The faithful are invited to continue adoration before the Blessed Sacrament for a suitable length of time during the night and later after midnight when adoration is over, the Blessed Sacrament is kept at place of reposition (not in the tabernacle). Only on Good Friday will the priest or deacon will bring the Blessed Sacrament back (while all faithful kneel/stand) from the place of repose to the altar. When the distribution of Communion has been completed, the ciborium is taken by the Deacon or another suitable minister and it is placed in the tabernacle.  


Luke 22:7-20
The Last Supper

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, �Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.�
9 �Where do you want us to prepare for it?� they asked.
10 He replied, �As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, �The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?� 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.�
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, �I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.�
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, �Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.�
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying,�This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.�
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, �This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.




The Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross is commemorated on Good Friday. No mass is celebrated but the Church conducts a solemn service instead where the liturgy of the word in which the account of the Passion according to the Gospel is read, followed by intercessory prayers, and next a solemn event of the Veneration of the Holy Crucifix where the faithful venerate it by coming forward and kissing it. The Good Friday service concludes with the Holy Communion (As the no Mass, therefore these hosts were consecrated and reserved during the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday are distributed instead.)



John 18-19:42
Jesus Arrested

18 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, �Who is it you want?�
5 �Jesus of Nazareth,� they replied.
�I am he,� Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, �I am he,� they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, �Who is it you want?�
�Jesus of Nazareth,� they said.
8 Jesus answered, �I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.� 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: �I have not lost one of those you gave me.�
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest�s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant�s name was Malchus.)
11 Jesus commanded Peter, �Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?�
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.

Peter�s First Denial
15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest�s courtyard, 16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the servant girl on duty there and brought Peter in.
17 �You aren�t one of this man�s disciples too, are you?� she asked Peter.
He replied, �I am not.�
18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself.

The High Priest Questions Jesus
19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 �I have spoken openly to the world,� Jesus replied. �I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said.�
22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. �Is this the way you answer the high priest?� he demanded.
23 �If I said something wrong,� Jesus replied, �testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?� 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

Peter�s Second and Third Denials
25 Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there warming himself. So they asked him, �You aren�t one of his disciples too, are you?�
He denied it, saying, �I am not.�
26 One of the high priest�s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, �Didn�t I see you with him in the garden?� 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow.

Jesus Before Pilate
28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, �What charges are you bringing against this man?�
30 �If he were not a criminal,� they replied, �we would not have handed him over to you.�
31 Pilate said, �Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.�
�But we have no right to execute anyone,� they objected. 32 This took place to fulfill what Jesus had said about the kind of death he was going to die.
33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, �Are you the king of the Jews?�
34 �Is that your own idea,� Jesus asked, �or did others talk to you about me?�
35 �Am I a Jew?� Pilate replied. �Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What is it you have done?�
36 Jesus said, �My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.�
37 �You are a king, then!� said Pilate.
Jesus answered, �You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.�
38 �What is truth?� retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, �I find no basis for a charge against him. 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release �the king of the Jews�?�
40 They shouted back, �No, not him! Give us Barabbas!� Now Barabbas had taken part in an uprising.

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified
19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3 and went up to him again and again, saying, �Hail, king of the Jews!� And they slapped him in the face.
4 Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, �Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.� 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, �Here is the man!�
6 As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, �Crucify! Crucify!�
But Pilate answered, �You take him and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.�
7 The Jewish leaders insisted, �We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God.�
8 When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, 9 and he went back inside the palace. �Where do you come from?� he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer. 10 �Do you refuse to speak to me?� Pilate said. �Don�t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?�
11 Jesus answered, �You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.�
12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, �If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.�
13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge�s seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon.
�Here is your king,� Pilate said to the Jews.
15 But they shouted, �Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!�
�Shall I crucify your king?� Pilate asked.
�We have no king but Caesar,� the chief priests answered.
16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.

The Crucifixion of Jesus
So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others�one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth, the king of the jews. 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, �Do not write �The King of the Jews,� but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.�
22 Pilate answered, �What I have written, I have written.�
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
24 �Let�s not tear it,� they said to one another. �Let�s decide by lot who will get it.�
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,
�They divided my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.�
So this is what the soldiers did.
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother�s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, �Woman, here is your son,� 27 and to the disciple, �Here is your mother.� From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

The Death of Jesus
28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, �I am thirsty.� 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus� lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, �It is finished.� With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus� side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: �Not one of his bones will be broken,� 37 and, as another scripture says, �They will look on the one they have pierced.�

The Burial of Jesus
38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate�s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. 40 Taking Jesus� body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.


Christ has Died.


Holy Saturday is the last day of Lent season and also the last day of Holy Week and Easter Triduum. Holy Saturday is also known as Easter Vigil. There is no Mass celebrate for Holy Saturday but after sundown on Holy Saturday the Easter Vigil Mass will be celebrated. Holy Saturday is a day of mourning Holy Saturday because Christ has been crucified and died for our salvation, and we are waiting for His Resurrection during the Easter Vigil. During Easter Vigil, the blessing of new fire and the lighting of the Easter candle will take place.


Christ is Risen.


Easter is the greatest celebration for Christians. Easter commemorates Christ victory over dead, His Glorious Resurrection from the dead to eternal life. We the faithful after going through self-denial during Lent, can now rise again with Christ having new life.


Christ will Come Again.


I want to know Christ�yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal,but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 

(Philippians 3:10-12)

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 
(1 Peter 1:3)


Jesus said to her, �I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?�

(John 11:25-26)
