The Sign of the Cross: Holy Trinity

​Holy Trinity
We continue to move forward in Ordinary Time, though it is interesting that, in some ways, we “slowly” begin this season on this weekend and next.

• The Holy Trinity this weekend
• The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ
• Pretty cool as we continue to enjoy Ordinary Time

The Holy Trinity

•  A paradox
• Three persons, one nature

Some quick, but sacred scriptures
This weekend I would like to share some of the challenging times in which the Trinity has been with me, and many of you

• First, I cannot tell you how important it is to pray during this chaos in our Country: Covid-19, and the latest with the death of George Flloyd, violence, looting and destroying property
• Pray…and how should we begin and end our prayers?  The Trinity: the sign of the Cross
•  At this time in my priesthood, I must pray with the Holy Hour every day.

1. This is the only way that I could receive the mission to God and His people
2.  And God has given what I believe is THE kernel of the Bible, John 3:16
3.  “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,

so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.”

So seek the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

• And how has these three persons with one nature soak His love in our minds, bodies, and souls beyond our personal prayers?
• Let’s think of many quick ways we may do so:

1. Mass which is now public, or via Internet

     - “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.”

1. Anointing of the Sick
2. Burials and waiting for a funeral
3. A marriage that is coming forward, though still waiting on protocols
4. Confession

In every level of our Catholicism and Christianity we must follow God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit
So may we conclude this homily with a traditional prayer to our Trinity

•  “Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen”
