In the midst of all this, we celebrate Trinity Sunday. It is a time to remember that our God is Trinity. Christians con- Prayerfully, stantly are trying to wrap their minds around this important tenet of our faith. As the YouCat [Youth Catechism] of Father Kadlec Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI states succinctly: “God is only one, but he exists in three persons. The fact that in Eng- lish we have two terms, the Triune God and the Trinity for the same reality (one emphasizes God’s unity, the other St. Andrew and St. Mark End-of-year Compliance report: the distinction of persons in him) is an indication of the unfathomable mystery of the Trinity” (p 34). To our Catechists of the religious education program in both parishes, thank you for your service. I have one last request as we wrap up this year, please fill out your: (1) Circle of Care and (2) Code of Conduct acknowledgment forms, as well as (3) back- ground checks permission forms to Vickie at the office by June 7. Our compliance report to the Diocese of Fargo is coming due. Perhaps St. Augustine helps us best with his analogy of love. He observes: “Wherever there is love, there is a trinity: Thank you for your due diligence in this matter. a lover, a beloved, and a fountain of love.” St. John tells us that “God is love.” The lover is God the Father. The be- loved is God the Son, the Eternal Word made flesh, Jesus Christ. The fountain of love is God the Holy Spirit.

World Youth Day 2023 (WYD) will be held in beautiful , ’s capital and largest city. To speak of love, speaks of relationship. On this point of relationship, Pope Emeritus Benedict observes: Pilgrims will come to celebrate with one another, deepen their faith, hear from the Pope himself, and be inspired. Today we contemplate the Most Holy Trinity as Jesus introduced us to it. He revealed to us that God is love "not in the oneness of a single Person, but in the Trinity of one substance" (Preface).

(Ps 8: 1) the Psalmist exclaims. In speaking of the "name", the Bible refers to God himself, his truest identity. It is an identity that shines upon the whole of Creation, in which all beings for the very fact that they exist and because of the "fabric" of which they are St. Andrew’s Mass on June 6th, 2021 made point to a transcendent Principle, to eternal and infinite Life which is given, in a word, to Love.
