THE MOST HOLY TRINITY June 16, 2019

Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: to God who is, who was, and who is to come.  

Jesus reveals the mystery of the Trinity to us, not just to let us know the truth about God, but also to know the truth about ourselves – as to what is our origin, where is our destiny and how we can arrive at that final point. We only exist, and the world only exists, because God gives life. He is the Father who looks upon us as his children and is closer to us than we are to our-selves. Every day is a day to love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit so we should strive to make the Holy Trinity a more practical part of our lives. Love is the binding force of the three persons of the Trinity; so when we love we share in that community of love which is the living God.  

 SANTISSIMA TRINITA` Padre, Figlio e Spirito Santo - noi crediamo in un solo Dio che è Amore. Il Padre, che nella pienezza del tempo ha inviato suo Figlio per la nostra salvezza; Gesù Cristo, che nel mistero della sua morte e risurrezione ha redento il mondo; lo Spirito Santo, che conduce la Chiesa attraverso i secoli. La Trinità divina ha preso dimora in noi nel giorno del Battesimo: "Io ti battezzo - ha detto il sacerdote - nel nome del Padre e del Figlio e dello Spirito Santo". Il nome di Dio, nel quale siamo stati battezzati, noi lo ricordiamo ogni volta che tracciamo su noi stessi il segno della croce. In ogni messa c'è un momento di singolare grandezza, quan-do onoriamo la Trinita': Per Cristo, con Cristo, in Cristo a te Dio Padre Onnipotente, nell'unità dello Spirito Santo, ogni onore e gloria, per tutti i secoli dei secoli.

FEAST OF ST. ANTHONY’S PARISH

Saint Anthony of Padua (St. António de Lisboa), born Fernando Martins de Bulhões (15 August 1195-13 June 1231) also known as Anthony of Lisbon, was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He was born and raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua, Italy. Noted by his con-temporaries for his powerful preaching, ex-

pert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devo-tion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history. He was pro-claimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946. He is also the patron saint of lost things.

WHAT IS EPICLESIS?

The epiclesis, in which, by means of partic-ular invocations, the Church implores the power of the Holy Spirit that the gifts of-fered by human hands be consecrated, that is, become Christ’s Body and Blood, and that the unblemished sacrificial Victim to be consumed in Communion may be for the salvation of those who will partake of it.
