Trinity do I most relate best right now? What is going on
in my life to make that so?
2. Who are the most loving people I know? What qualities
do they have that I might foster in myself?
3. Where do I see God acting in the world today? Who mirrors God in the world for me?

For Reflection:
In what ways have I
experienced the Persons of the Trinity in my life?
Where does Jesus send me to “make
disciples”?
Today’s good news
Trinity Sunday is about our relationship to God as well as the relationship that the three Persons of the Trinity have with
each other. God is “one God, one Lord: not in the unity of a single person, but in a Trinity of one substance,” as today’s
preface indicates. God is a mystery desiring to be experienced and understood. As Moses speaks to the people in today’s
first reading, he reminds them that their experience of God has been unique. “Ever since God created [humankind] upon
the earth”, no nation has experienced God as Israel has. In response, they are called to “fix in your heart, that
the LORD [YHWH in Hebrew] is God … and that there is no other”.
Paul writes to the Romans that “those who are led by the Spirit of God are [children] of God”. God’s revelation in Christ
enables us to “cry, ‘Abba, Father’”. We have been given a share in the divine life. God wishes to be known by us as Father,
Son, and Spirit. The human experience of God can be found in the world around us, in history, in Scripture, in Christ, and
in our own hearts. These various means of revelation illustrate how much God wants to be known by us.
Jesus commissions the apostles at the conclusion of Matthew’s Gospel, sending them forward to “make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”. This is our only encounter with
the Trinitarian formula in the Gospels. But it establishes the baptismal practice that has been used by the church since the
first century. Baptized into the Trinity, we are given a share in their divine life.

Stewardship Thought: In the second reading today, St.
Paul reminds the Corinthians, “There are different gifts, but
the same Spirit; there are different ministries, but the same
Lord.” How am I using my gifts for the common good?

gratitude for the gifts we have received from God, the parishioners and visitors gave $10,936.00 for the ministries
of St. Teresa.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

Quotes of St. Faustina about God’s Mercy
“Tell souls not to place within their own hearts
obstacles to My mercy, which so greatly wants to
act within them. My mercy works in all those
hearts which open their doors to it. Both the sinner and the righteous person have need of My
mercy. Conversion, as well as perseverance, is a
grace of My mercy.”

“Please, thank you and sorry” are the three words that Pope Francis “would write on the door of every family home” as they are the
key to living well and in peace both inside and outside the home.
They are simple words, much easier to say than to put into practice, but “they contain great strength: the strength of protecting the home, even through a thousand difficulties and
trials; instead, when they are lacking, cracks gradually
open up that can even lead it to collapse”.

A Day of Remembrance for all those who have
lost their life in our Nation’s service
Pentecost
1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13
The Reason for Gifts
Look around your church and you will see many gifts. You will see those who sing and
those who read, those who preach and those who greet. You will see some who feed the
hungry and others who serve on committees. You will see some who decorate and others
who converse. Some have a gift for leading prayer, for parenting children or for making
people feel at home. Everybody has some gift.
Still, not all gifts are equal. Some people excel at their gifts. Others exercise them less capably. The quality of the gift is not that important. It is important to exercise the gift, whatever its extent may be. The use of our gifts releases the power of the Spirit.
St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.”
God gives gifts for a reason. They are meant to be nurtured and used. The gifts manifest
the Spirit. When used properly, they draw attention to God who gives, not to the person
who has received.
The manifold gifts within one community show the marvels of the Holy Spirit. When people share their gifts, they create a spirit of selflessness and inspire others to service. They
help everyone appreciate the goodness of God, who gives even before we ask.
When people look at you, they also see gifts. For which gifts are you most grateful? How do
you share them?
