The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

From its earliest days, the Catholic Church has relied on images — pictures found in
stained glass windows, statues of saints and holy people, icons, and glorious mosaics
found in so many of our churches. Television, movies, and computer images have
surrounded us during the last century. As never before in human history our children are
learning via images.
So today I am going to share some thoughts with you about the Holy Trinity using
mental images. It’s better that way. The history of images is rich because artists have a
way of expressing what is otherwise inexpressible using the medium of paint, plaster,
stone and other materials.
St. Patrick went to Ireland to bring the message of Jesus to the Celtic people living
there, and we all know that when it came to teach them about the Holy Trinity he used
the three-leaf clover. How can three persons be one? He showed the people of his day
the three-leaf clover and used that image to teach the revelation of Jesus that God is
Three Persons in one Being.
The concept of the Holy Trinity is a mystery, but not a total mystery. Mysteries, after
all, are made up of clues. In a mystery story we pursue, and piece together clues in order
to see the whole picture. So, it is with the Holy Trinity. We have lots of clues about the
Holy Trinity. And when we pursue them and then piece them together we get a good
glimpse into what kind of a God, God is.

The Daily Prayer of Saint Teresa
Dear Jesus, help me to spread your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul
with your spirit and love. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly that
all my life may only be a radiance of You. Shine through me and be so in me
that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul. Let
them look up and see no longer me but only Jesus. Stay with me and then I
shall begin to shine as you shine, so to shine as to be a light to others. Amen.

OUR NEW ADVERTISING SLOGAN
Jesus Christ has never denied anyone in the participation
of the Seven Sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy
Communion, Confession, Marriage, Holy Orders, and the
Anointing of the Sick.
If you believe this statement to be true, then Saint Teresa
of Calcutta Catholic Community is the Church for you,
Our mentor, Mother Teresa of Calcutta and We at Saint
Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Community have one thing in
common, our “LOVE” for our fellow being is a lesson
learned from Jesus Christ.
**************************************************************
* NOTE TO THE CONGREGATION
To ensure that our mission here at Saint Teresa of
Calcutta Catholic Community grow and survive, we need to
adhere to our advertising slogan. It is time to let go of the
past and start listening to the message that Jesus and Father
Victor preach every Sunday about “LOVE”. Alienating
individuals from Saint Teresa of Calcutta Catholic
Community does not support our mission to help those who
really need our LOVE and ASSISTANCE. REMEMBER: I
KNOW THERE WILL BE A DAY OF PEACE. FOR THIS,
LET US ALL WORK AND PRAY.

Reading 1 DUETRONOMY 4:32-34 , 39-40
Moses said to the people: "Ask now of the days of old, before your time, ever since God
created man upon the earth; ask from one end of the sky to the other: Did anything so
great ever happen before? Was it ever heard of? Did a people ever hear the voice of God
speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live? Or did any god venture to go and
take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by testings, by signs and
wonders, by war, with strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors,
all of which the LORD, your God, did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
This is why you must now know, and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God
in the heavens above and on earth below, and that there is no other.
You must keep his statutes and commandments that I enjoin on you today,
that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may have long life on the
land which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church
Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm PSALM 33:4-5 , 6 , 9 , 18-19 , 20, 22
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen, chosen to be his own.
Upright is the word of the LORD, and all his works are trustworthy. He loves justice and
right; of the kindness of the Lord the earth is full.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen, chosen to be his own.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made; by the breath of his mouth all their
host. For he spoke, and it was made; he commanded, and it stood forth.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen, chosen to be his own.
See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him, upon those who hope for his
kindness, To deliver them from death and preserve them in spite of famine.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen, chosen to be his own.
Our soul waits for the LORD, who is our help and our shield. May your kindness, O
LORD, be upon us who have put our hope in you.
R. Blessed the people the Lord has chosen, chosen to be his own.
Reading 2 ROMANS 8:14-17
Brothers and sisters:
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
but you received a Spirit of adoption,
through whom we cry, "Abba, Father!"
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God,
and if children, then heirs,
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if only we suffer with him
so that we may also be glorified with him.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church
Thanks be to God
Gospel MATTHEW 28:16-20
The eleven disciples went to Galilee,
to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they all saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
This is the Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ

Alleluia REVELATION 1:8
