The Most Holy TrinityMay 27, 2018

Go . . . and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and

of the Holy Spirit.— Matthew 28:19

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OUR FAITHToday is a day simply to ponder the fact that in

baptism we were claimed by God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The first reading from Deuteronomy prompts us to fix in our hearts the truth that God is the Lord of both heaven and earth and there is no other god. Saint Paul reminds us that, because we received the Spirit of adoption in baptism, we are now children of God. In the Gospel Jesus charges us with the responsibility to make other disciples. These realities make today’s solemnity a day of praise, adoration, and responsibility. It is a fitting day to thank God for the absolutely free gift of faith that we were given in baptism. It is also a day to ask God for strength to take on the responsibility of sharing that faith with others.

Question of the WeekWhat can I do, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to transform my family, my community, the world?

Pastor’s Note May 27, 2018

The Most Holy Trinity

The Mystery Revealed

The dogma of the Most Holy Trinity was proclaimed a dogma of faith in the Council of Nicea sometime in the year 200 A.D., and Tertullian was the Christian philosopher who coined the word “Trinity.” Though the term “Trinity” does not appear in the Old or New Testaments, many scriptural citations support the doctrine. The most explicit in the New Testament are: “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” Mt 28:19; and the apostolic blessing of St. Paul, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” 2Cor 13:14. In the baptism of Jesus, the trinity appeared and in many important moments of Christ, the trinity has been mentioned. Even though God is mystery, we can still say something about him. First, The trinity is one, this may seem obscure, because all the “Tri” in trinity means three, but this “Threeness” must be understood in certain ways. We do not confess three Gods but one God in three persons. The Divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire. Secondly, at the same time that the Trinity is one, the divine persons are distinct from one another.

“Father,” “Son,” “Holy Spirit,” are not simply names designating different modes of divinity. You may remember the old Catechism illustration that shows the trinity as three forms of water: ice, liquid and steam. They are distinct from one another, not in their substance, but in their relationships. The mystery of the Most Holy trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. The faith of all Christians rests on the Trinity. When you were baptized, you were baptized “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Every Sacrament, especially the Mass, has a Trinitarian dimension. We pray to the Father, often using the words of the Son, invoking the power of the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is present in every sacrament, in every Mass, whenever we pray “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

God bless us

Adoration of the Blessed SacramentEvery Friday 8:30am - 4:00pm

Evening Prayer/Benediction 4:00 p.m. "Our communal worship at Mass must go together

with our personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic adoration in order that our love may be complete."

St. John Paul II

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONOne of the great treasures of the Eastern tradition

is the icon of the Holy Trinity created by the Russian iconographer Andrei Rublev in the 1400s. The Trinity is symbolized by the three travelers to the tent of Abraham and Sarah. They are seated at a

table blessing a cup of wine, under the oak of Mamre. If you look closely, you will see a sacrificed calf in the chalice, reminding the viewer of the cross. The table, prepared for eating and tilted toward the viewer, is

an invitation to the Eucharist. From left to right, each figure is keyed to a person of the Trinity. Like all icons, this image is theology in art. The persons are equal in proportion and dignity, they all carry staffs to symbolize their power, and are shown with golden wings and halos. Today, the best place to see Rublev’s work is the Holy Trinity Cathedral, at the heart of the vast Holy Trinity monastery about an hour from Moscow. After decades of persecution, it is now once again a living monastery, a world heritage site, and the spiritual home of Russian Orthodoxy. A Google visit is highly recommended today!

Society of St. Vincent de Paul Angels Camp

If you are interested helping with your time or money, please call St. Vincent de Paul at 736-9978 and leave a message or attend a meeting on the 3rd Monday of the month at the Helping Hands house at 6:00 pm.
