THE SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
MAY 22, 2016
We Catholics instinctively make the sign of the cross
at the beginning and end of all our prayers. When
we enter a church, we have the custom of blessing
ourselves with holy water and making the sign of the
cross. At every Mass, after the Entrance Antiphon or
Hymn, we continue the liturgy by making the sign of
the cross; and we conclude every Mass by making the
sign of the cross as the priest blesses us. Recall the
words we recite anytime we execute the hand movements of the sign of the cross are: “In the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
My point is Catholics are people who think of God as
a Trinity of persons and so when we call on God we
invoke the names of three distinct persons who form
one divine communion of love. The Church dedicates
this Sunday after Pentecost to celebrate this central
truth of our Catholic faith: that our God is a triune
community of persons, each sharing equally in the
divine nature; yet each distinctive in their respective
personhood and function. This core truth is revealed
in the life, death, resurrection and ascension of the
eternal Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the descent of
the Holy Spirit of the Father and Son on the Church.
The gospel for this Sunday testifies to the saving work
of the Trinity in our lives. The Father sends his Son
into the world to tell us, in word and deed, the good
news of our salvation; and together Father and Son
send their Holy Spirit as our Advocate and Guide to
remind us of all that the Lord Jesus taught us, and
prompt us to put it into practice. To the Father we
attribute the work of creation; to the Son the work of
redemption from sin; to the Spirit the work of sanctification. But everything God does is accomplished by
the three divine persons working together as an everlasting communion of love. Whenever we make the
sign of the cross, may we be mindful of the Trinity,
and grateful for the divine love that has opened the
pathway to heaven for all of us!

us for about two months beginning May 28, and live
at the White House on Grove Street. He will be involved in a variety of parish ministries and activities,

and I will be participating in the upcoming Memorial
Day parade in Lynnfield, which begins at OLA, resumes at the Lynnfield Middle School and concludes
at the Common with stops for prayer (which Deacon
Tom and I will lead) at multiple cemeteries along the
way. Here is the latest update on our performance in
the 2016 Catholic Appeal: as of May 10, St. Maria
Goretti parishioners had pledged $43,497, which is
156% of their goal of $27,797; and Our Lady of the
Assumption parishioners had pledged $53,958,
which is 98% of their goal of $54,938. If you have
not yet made a pledge to this year’s Appeal, please do
so as soon as possible by filling out one of the pledge
packets in one of our churches and dropping it in the
collection basket at Mass, or by going to the Appeal
website at www.bostoncatholicappeal.org. SMG will
receive 65% of every paid donation over their goal. If
OLA gets 4 more Catholic Appeal pledge packets
found in the entrances of the church, they also will
receive 65% of every paid donation over their fairshare assessment. Thanks to all our donors to this
year’s Catholic Appeal! Blessings to all of you in the
week ahead!
OLA MEMORIALS CAMPAIGN 2016 UPDATE
We would like to thank our numerous donors who
have helped us with our Memorials Campaign this

Many of our church items are made to order, thus
the wait time. In a few weeks I will list our donors
and their memorial. Thank you for your generosity
to help make our liturgies beautiful at Our Lady of
the Assumption Church.
Love,
Fr. Tony

MAY 22, 2016
PASTORAL PLANNING OFFICE
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
The Most Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit is a Mystery of our faith - not
to solve, but to believe and delight in. Three Persons
in One God. There is no mystery in Paul’s words to
the Romans, only comfort and blessed assurance:
“...affliction produces endurance, and endurance,
proven character, and proven character, hope, and
hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has
been poured out into our hearts through the Holy
Spirit that has been given to us.” Hope does not disappoint!
Trinity Sunday
Companies spend a lot of money on advertising because it works. And those ads are everywhere - on
television, radio, phones, web pages, billboards, and
newspapers. They influence what people buy, how
people dress, and how they speak. They can influence
what people think, what they value and what is right
and wrong. Effective ads can sell merchandize, or
change voters’ minds, or teach lessons about morals,
values and ideals.
Come. Experience. Believe

Please join us
The Apostles have a difficult mission and they will not
always be welcome in places they preach. They will
face much resistance to the Gospel message, and at
times opposing voices will compete for people’s attention. The confusion and uncertainty of the times and
of the message will need to be addressed. Jesus promises that the Spirit of Truth will guide them to all
truth. Shadows of doubt and fear will be overcome
with the light of knowledge and faith. They will not
be left alone.
SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
If you or someone you know needs assistance, please call the SVdP at (781) 5136695.
What guides your life? What has the greatest influence? Where do you spend your time? What voice
rises above all the others to influence your decisions,
form your values and inform your conscience? Media has an agenda and it is not your well-being. But
the Spirit of Truth guides us all. Listen closely. In the
depths of your soul and in whisperings in your heart,
you know what God asks of you and what you need to
do to be closer to Him. Listen carefully to the voice
that leads to life!
