Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity (Trinity Sunday) ~ 11 June 2017

 

In the Catholic faith, we believe and worship One God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity. are baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Glory be to the Father, 
and to the Son, 
and to the Holy Spirit.



The Father is made of no one, neither created nor begotten.
The Son is from the Father alone, not made, nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Spirit is from the Father and the Son, not made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. We celebrate the presence of the Triune God within us, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The mystery of the Holy Trinity, a doctrine enunciated by the ecumenical councils of Nicaea and Constantinople, is one of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity and the greatest mystery of our Faith, namely, that there are Three Divine Persons, sharing the same Divine nature in one God. �There is one God, who has three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each Person is God, yet there is still only one God� (CCC #234, #253-256). This is the mystery we profess each week when we affirm our belief in the Son of God, who is "consubstantial [one in Being] with the Father, God from God, light from light true God from true God" and in the Holy Spirit, who "with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified." The inner relationship of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is such that each of them is fully God, yet They are not three Gods but One. This is not comprehendible by the human mind.

O my God, 
Trinity Whom I adore
Grant my soul peace.
Make it Your Heaven,
Your beloved dwelling, 
and the place of Your rest.
May I never abandon You there,
but may I be there,
whole and entire.
Completely vigilant in my faith,
entirely adoring, 
and wholly given over 
to Your creative action.
~ Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity ~ 

Liturgy

Reading 1

Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9
Early in the morning Moses went up Mount Sinai
as the LORD had commanded him,
taking along the two stone tablets.

Having come down in a cloud, the LORD stood with Moses there
and proclaimed his name, "LORD."
Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out,
"The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity."
Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship.
Then he said, "If I find favor with you, O Lord,
do come along in our company.
This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins,
and receive us as your own."

2 Corinthians 13:11-13
Brothers and sisters, rejoice.
Mend your ways, encourage one another,
agree with one another, live in peace,
and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the holy ones greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ

Gospel
John 3:16-18
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,
but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,
because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

One hundred days has passed, yet still missing you ....

 

It has been 100 days today 
since my father left us to be with the Lord. 
I really MISS you, my dearest father.




A beautiful life that came to an end,
He died as He lived, everyone's friend.
In our hearts a memory will always be kept,
Of one we loved, and will never forget.





Lord, God, I entrust my father to your mercy.
You loved him greatly in this life, 
now that he is freed from all its cares, 
give him happiness and peace for ever.

Welcome him now into paradise 
where there will be no more sorrow, 
no more weeping or pain, 
but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, 
and the Holy Spirit forever.

It was You, O God, 
Who commanded us to honour our parents. 
In Your kindness have mercy 
on the soul of my father, 
and forgive him of his sins. 
Grant that we may see him again 
in the brightness of Your everlasting glory. 
We ask this through Your Son, 
our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.


Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, 
and let perpetual light shine upon him. 
May he rest in peace.
Amen.

May his soul,
and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
Amen.

Parent, Mother and Father Prayer for a Safe Pregnancy

 
This life you have given us
is so tiny, fragile, and vulnerable,
safe in the womb of flesh and hope,
yet subject to danger and death.
O God of love, creator of life,
hear our prayer.
We want this baby so much.
Please grant this child of ours
a full term of nurture,
the joy and mystery of life,
and the blessing of your love.
Grant us the fulfillment of our dreams,
a baby to cherish and protect,
a child to teach and guide,
a blessing to our family.
Amen.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him

 
John 6: 44 - 51
44No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.' Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
46Not that any one has seen the Father except him who is from God; he has seen the Father.
47Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.
48I am the bread of life.
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.
51I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."
