What is Trinity Sunday?
Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost to
honor the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. Although the word “trinity” does not appear in
Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2
Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages).
The concept of the trinity can never be completely
understood or rationalized, but it is clearly taught in
Scripture. Understanding of all scriptural doctrine is by
faith which comes through the work of the Holy Spirit;
therefore, it is appropriate that this mystery is celebrated the first Sunday after Pentecost, when the outpouring of the Holy Spirit first occurred.
Trinity Sunday is to explain, to the best of man’s
ability, the clues written in Scripture to guide us to a
fuller understanding of our triune God. The Father is
God from the beginning (John 1:1); Jesus revealed
Himself as equal to the Father in John 10:30, “I and
the Father are one.” Together, they sent the Holy Spirit
(John 14:26). “For there are three that bear record in
Heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit; and
these three are one” (1 John 5:7-11).

Medjugorje Pilgrimages 2015
On June 25, 1981, in the mountain village of Medjugorje
in Herzegovina, Our Lady appeared to six children. She
identified herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of
Peace, and continues to appear to several of the visionaries.
Her mission is to promote peace with God and mankind,
through her Son, Jesus. Mary’s own words to the children
explained, “I have come to tell the world that God exists.”

The Joke’s on Us
One night a lady came home from her weekly
prayer meeting, found she was being robbed, and she shouted
out, “Acts 2:38: ‘Repent and be baptized and your sins will be
forgiven.’ ” The robber quickly gave up and the lady rang
the police. While handcuffing the criminal, a policeman said,
“Gee mate, you gave up pretty easily. How come you gave up
so quickly?” The robber said, “She said she had an axe and
two 38s!”
