You won’t find the word
“trinity’ in the bible. This great
mystery was revealed through
Jesus, and speaks of the inner
life of God. Immediately after the
resurrection,
Jesus
was
venerated as Lord and God by his followers. This placed the
Christians in a delicate place, for the Jews believed in one
God, and thought them polytheists. They were in a bad place
with the Romans and pagans, because the Christians would
not worship their gods. Jesus told them they would face great
trials because of their faith in him. “And now I am coming to
you, Father. I have told them many things while I was with
them so that they would be filled with my joy. I have given
them your commands. And the world hates them because
they don’t fit in with it, just as I don’t. I’m not asking you to
take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from Satan’s
power” (Jn 17:13-15).
The followers of Jesus remembered what he had
taught them about his relationship with the Father. “I and the
Father are one” (John 10:30). They were to be reminded by
his Spirit: “But now I am going away to the one who sent me;
and none of you seems interested in the purpose of my going;
none wonders why. But the fact of the matter is that it is best
for you that I go away, for if I don’t, the Comforter won’t come.
If I do, he will—for I will send him to you...When the Holy
Spirit, who is truth, comes, he shall guide you into all
truth” (John 15:8-14).
Many heresies grew up in those early years trying to
figure out and how to explain this great mystery. It would be
three hundred years before the language was developed and
the concepts clarified that the Church could say Jesus is
equal to the Father in every respect and yet distinct from the
Father.
We profess that creed each week “I believe in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father
before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God
from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the
Father.” The Council Fathers did not make the mystery any
clearer. Yet, this is the faith of the Church.
If anything, the mystery of the Trinity communicates
that God is a family—a family so closely united that although
they are three persons, they are one God. God wants us to
share that oneness with him and one another. “My prayer for
all of them is that they will be of one heart and mind, just as
you and I are Father—that just as you are in me and I am in
you, so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent
me” (Jn 17:20-21).
Eucharistic Adoration
In honor of the devotion to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus, Eucharistic Adoration will be held in
the Church on Friday June 5th from 7 to 8pm.
This is a wonderful opportunity to spend
peaceful time with Our Lord, Jesus, where the
Eucharist is exposed for prayer and
adoration, and the Church becomes an
intimate setting for personal prayer.
The holy rosary will be prayed beginning at 7pm, and the
Chaplet of Divine Mercy will be prayed beginning at 7:45pm,
concluding with Benediction. Please join us!

One night a father overheard his son pray: “Dear God, Make
me the kind of man my Daddy is”. Later that night, the Father
prayed, “Dear God, Make me the kind of man my son wants
me to be.”
