A Word from Your Pastor June 11 - Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Dear Parishioners:

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity follows upon Pentecost in the midst of Ordinary Time, reminding us that the Spirit leads us into an appreciation of God in the depths of His Being and to a realization that our relationship with God touches all Time.

God is One God, Eternal, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent.  In Essence, God is also a Community of Relationship among the Divine Persons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  At the depths of Reality, there is a Relationship of Love, Exchange, Giving and Receiving and Returning in Fullness.  God is a Family and the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit reach out to human beings to incorporate us into the Reality of Divine Life.

When the Church seeks to share Faith, it is not a mere matter of teaching or helping us to understand doctrines and dogmas.  Rather, it is meant to draw us into the experience of Living Relationship with God.  We are invited, through Faith, to live Divine Life humanly.  We who are God’s creatures are drawn into a dynamic sharing of the very Being of God.

On Trinity Sunday, the Church celebrates something that can be known only through Revelation.  Faith embraces an intimacy with God that makes all the difference.  Human beings are made in the image and likeness of God and are destined by God to share Divine Life.  We pray as one Community of Faith, united in the Hope of Eternity and already experiencing the embrace of Love that is the very Life of God, Who IS Father, Son and Holy Spirit.


Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit!  As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.
