Feast of the Holy Trinity |
“Blessed be God the Father and his only-Begotten Son and the Holy Spirit: for he has shown that he loves us.” Entrance Antiphon: Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. “…and I was his delight day by day, playing before him all the while, playing on the surface of the earth: and I found delight in the human race.” Proverbs 8:22-31 “What is man that you should be mindful of him or the son of man that you should care for him? Psalm 8 “the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.” Romans 5:1-5 “…the Spirit of truth will guide you to all truth. He will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming.” John 16: 12-15 “…God has given you the Spirit of his Son to form your heart and make you cry out: Abba, Father” Galatians 4:6 Last Sunday we celebrated Pentecost—the dramatic arrival of the Holy Spirit—and the “birth” of the Church. The disciples of Jesus, now fully formed, begin “to tell the Good News”: Jesus is Risen and among us. Jesus will continue to speak His Truth: I come that all may have life and have it more abundantly. Jesus’ Resurrection is for us too! Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday, the truth that God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit are so present in our world, our lives that the promise made to Adam and Eve is complete—the living God given in Baptism is the beginning of eternal life. Our 26 communicants receiving Jesus for the first time yesterday had a taste of the Joy of Jesus coming to them, staying with them. |
