This is often one of the hardest things to do. Rather than allowing the mystery of being created in the image and likeness of God unfold and take root in our lives, we change the dynamic. We want to be the creators who want to make God into the image and likeness we need God to be. We have a hard-enough time letting the people in our lives be who they are. We struggle even more so with God. It is almost as if we want God to be our imaginary friend who is not only with us whenever we need but becomes the Being we need God to be. Who is it that we want God to be today? A protector, disciplinarian, champion for justice, healer, advocate for our cause, grantor of prayers, guardian of my life, or the avenger? Our prayers tell an interesting story. When you pray, what does God look like? Recently, a young woman who was feeling invisible, overlooked, ignored, and misunderstood by her husband struggled to make her feelings known and get his attention. Finally, she screamed, “Listen to me!” Thus, birth was given to a renewed and healthier relationship. We spend so much time storming heaven with our agenda and trying to make God into a “god” of our desires that we do not hear God saying, “Listen to me!” God is desperately trying to get our attention. God is saying, I am here among you as not one but three, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Many people seldom notice God’s presence because they are so caught up with other spiritual cares and concerns. And, when the “god” they fashion and create doesn’t produce as they desire, they shake the dust from their feet and move on. “I tried,” they exclaim, “but God didn’t listen.” Healthy relationships aren’t built on making someone be who we need them to be. Healthy relationships are built on encounters of persons and the development of an appreciation of someone solely for who they are. Deeper relationships can even be found with two people marveling at each other and almost experiencing a childlike joy and giddiness when they see the other coming. Do you ever have these feelings about God? Believe it or not, God does for you! There is a joyful laughter that gives rise to and connects all three members of the Holy Trinity. It is this laughter, flowing from the very depths of the Godhead that not only keeps the Trinity in joyful unity but spills over into the creation of all beings and things.

    HOLY LAND 2015 Monday 25th May 2015 On way to airport for flight to Holy Land. There's a mix of folks from many parishes but happy to report there's been no fighting......yet! Arrived safely without losing anyone or, strangely, wanting to lose anyone! 34 degrees temp. Straight to hotel for dinner and bed for a 6:30 am start. God have mercy on us! Tuesday 26th May 2015 Mass this morning in Church of The Nativity at St Joseph's altar, the place of his vision of the Angels telling him to flee to Egypt. Veneration of the 'Locus iste'. A need for Ecumenism here. After visit to Church of Ascension, Church of Pater Noster and the Dominus Flavit where Jesus wept over Jerusalem, we spent time looking at the old city seeing features that wouldn't be unfamiliar to Jesus. Then, down to the Garden of Gethsemane for a very emotive visit in baking heat. In short, a very striking first day with some profound silences. It must be gin o'clock now!! Wednesday 27th May 2015 Another early start to local co-operative that helps support around 50 Christian families. I've done my bit on behalf of the parish! All I'll say is: Make sure you're at Mass in a couple of weeks ........! Morning visits to Church of the Dormition of Our Lady and the Cenacle Room (Upper Room) on Mount Sion. Onto the Jewish Quarter which is full of American accents with a smattering of Hebrew. Mass beside the Cenacle. Afternoon visit to St Peter in Gallicantu, the place where Peter denied Jesus.

Buses or cars are necessary for most of the routes, but many of them also include sections that can be done on foot. The routes are planned for those who wish to visit lesser-known sites that still maintain the flavor of the country before the development boom of the last 100 years.

  • 2021 05 28 Grace-Notes-In-Miniature
    Dear friends: As we anticipate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity on Sunday, and the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Monday, May is certainly going out with a fanfare. 1 The prayers dedicated to the Holy Trinity came into being as a response to the Arian Heresy which held that the Son of God was not eternal with the Father, but rather created by the Father in Time and therefore had to be subordinate. The Ecumenical Council of Nicaea in 325 formally confirmed the doctrine of the Trinity and this is reflected in the Nicene Creed, where we state: I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father… In response to the continuation of Arianism, the Church Fathers introduced an Office for the Holy Trinity, and the Sacramentary of St Gregory the Great (590 – 604) included such an Office and the Preface of the Trinity. In the early fourteenth century, Pope John XXII designated the Sunday after Pentecost as the feast of the Holy Trinity and we continue that practice today. Until the decision was made to move the celebration of Corpus Christi to the following Sunday, that Solemnity would have been celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday. In the home, Trinity Sunday has been celebrated with triangular pastries or rolls shaped like clover leaves or shamrocks. You can find a liturgy for use at home while we wait out our Covid-19 separation from our churches at https://aleteia.org/2020/06/06/how-to-celebrate-trinity- sunday-at-home/ 2 On Monday we celebrate the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering the story of a newly pregnant Mary making a journey into the hill country to visit her older cousin, Elizabeth, who, after many years of longing, is in her sixth month of pregnancy with the child who will be John the Baptist.
