FROM THE DESK OF FR. BONA: The mystery of The Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of our Christian faith and life. Although we cannot comprehend it, it lies closest to our heart. And our belief in it encompasses our entire Christian life. We became Christians by professing one God in three Persons; we begin and end our prayers in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The joy and happiness of our Christian life is that we are children of the Father, brothers and sisters of the Son, and temples of the Holy Spirit. Through the mystery of the Holy Trinity, we recognize that God is not only infinite power, but that his essence is Love – not only towards His creations, but foremost also in His inner life. The most beautiful profession of a prayer to the Holy Trinity is the singing of the “Te Deum.” Some other prayers:
May people baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit always glorify the one God of the Trinity with their lives!
May the mystery of the unity of the Trinity lead the whole Christian world to the unity of faith and charity!
May the outpouring of the love of the Trinity lead all people to the light of the Gospel!
May the power of the Father, the wisdom of the Son and the grace of the Holy Spirit preserve the unity and happiness of our families!
May our deceased loved ones and benefactors come to the presence of the Holy Trinity.
NEXT WEEK (JUNE 11) IS THE FEAST OF CORPUS CHRISTI: We will hold our traditional outdoor procession, weather permitting. I would like to thank those who had decorated the outdoor altars in the past and would like to ask them, if they can, to continue this beautiful service. If you have flower petals, please bring them for extra decoration on the ground. I also ask the children to participate by wearing their white dresses, and to scatter the flower petals in front of the Blessed Sacrament in the procession.
VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED to help keep the church grounds (gardens and potted plants) fresh and beautiful. You may sign up in the back vestibule of the church. For more information, see Mary Hill or Kathy Beroisa.
THE 2023 CATHOLIC CHARITIES FOLLOW-UP APPEAL is taking place this weekend in our parish. Please refer to the insert (at the doors of the church), which includes our parish’s goal and an overview of the importance of Catholic Charities in our communities. This year’s follow-up Appeal is designated for the Sanctity of life and has a $100,000 MATCHING GIFT. All matching gift funds, along with the $100k itself, will be directed toward Catholic Charities ministries and services that support, endorse, and promote the Sanctity of Life, such as their partnership with Zelie’s Home. Your generous support will transform the lives of others to offer dignity, possibilities, and companionship to those who are most vulnerable.
