The Trinity

Today is the feast of the Trinity. We honour the Father, Son and Holy Spirit at work in our lives and we pray for a greater understanding of the three in our hearts and lives. The last words of the Gospel this weekend remind us that Jesus is with us, always, yes to the end of time. Let us reflect on the meaning of these words in our lives and on the we celebrate and honour the presence of God at work in our lives. Jesus gave us his words in scripture and he invited us to respond with generosity, both in words and actions. Let us renew our faith this weekend in our hearts and minds. Let us be God's people by our actions based in the beatitudes and in the heart of Church teaching.
