Trinity Sunday

Jesus said to his disciples: "Know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time." What a wonderful consolation and strength that promise that Jesus made to us is for his followers! He is with us in so many ways - in the Sacraments; in the Eucharist; in our prayers. But Jesus is especially with us always in our love relationships, especially in marriage and family life. He is also with us through our parish community. That is the meaning of being a parish - a people among whom Jesus lives. And the wonderful thing is that he is also present to our world always through us. We have a serious responsibility to build our homes and parishes into real living communities of faith and love so that Jesus can bring salvation to our world and so that our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit may be praised and glorified.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Give thanks to God for he is good: His love is everlasting.
Give thanks to the God of gods: His love is everlasting.
Give thanks to the Lord of Lords: His love is everlasting.
He alone performs great marvels: His love is everlasting.
His wisdom made the heavens and the earth:
He made the sun, the moon and the stars: His love is everlasting.

Questions people ask

Q. I have a great devotion to Jesus Christ and to the Holy Spirit but I never seem to pray to God the Father. How can I improve in this area?

A. You are praying to the Father more often than you realise, for instance, the Our Father. At Mass you are united with Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in returning all glory and honour to the Father. The Holy Spirit , who dwells in the soul, is returning the glory of the Father twenty-four hours of the day. Come apart, close your eyes and, as Saint Paul put it, join the Holy Spirit in united witness to your divine adoption, saying quietly, Abba, Father!
