Today is The Most Holy Trinity We congratulate our 2015 High School and College Graduates listed in the Special Insert .THE TRINITY IS LOVE. Theologians to this Bulletin. We will recognize them throughout the Christian centuries have spilled much during the Sunday 5 p.m. Teen Mass. As this ink (and, on occasion, some blood) in describing and defining the mystery of the Holy Trinity. One of the is the last day for Faith Formation Classes, earliest, most poetic, and beautiful descriptions there will be a Congratulatory Cake for the comes from St. Augustine in De Trinitas, wherein he Graduates at the Pot Luck Dinner for Junior and Senior High describes the Trinity as One (the Father) who loves, Youth, their families and friends, Catechists, and Assistants.

One (the Son) who is loved, and One (the Spirit) who is love. And these three Ones are also one Three. It might be wisest for us to leave the technical wranglings to the academic theologians, and focus on the fact that the three Persons of the Trinity are indeed persons; they are best known and understood in their love for each other and for us. We Last Day for Faith Formation Classes: are made in the image of those loving persons, and our best relationships are lived out in the context of love. Truly loving Sunday, May 31, 2015 relationships are inexhaustible mysteries to be lived in joy. If this is true of our human relationships, how much more so is it true of our relationship with the Trinity. And how much more does it call upon us TOTUS TUUS to be joyful, loving witnesses of the holy mystery of the One in Three. This is the mystery to which we were called when we JUNE 7-12, 2015 were chosen to be God’s own, baptized with water in the name of the See Posted Flyer & Registration Forms in Holy Trinity. the Narthex or check out website at www.ollchapin.org The Lord’s Word

The Most Holy Trinity

Reflecting on God’s Word It is not always easy to be family. Good parents, the old saying goes, give their children roots and wings, a sense of security and freedom to live their lives. But achieving such a balance is often accomplished only after years of working at it. Sometimes children feel smothered by their parents, that they are trying to control their lives; at other times, children feel neglected, that they are not important, even not loved.

The readings today remind us that God wishes us to know that we can find our roots in the divine love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that we can also find our freedom there. Paul’s words to the Romans pick up first on the purpose of the gift of the Spirit that we celebrated last Sunday. The Spirit has been given us to lead us more deeply into the mystery of God, into the love of God, so that we recognize that we are God’s beloved children.

This same message is found in Moses’ words to the people as they are about to enter into the Promised Land. Has anyone ever had a God like our God? Moses marvels. Has any God ever shown a people how dear they are by such signs and wonders as our God has shown us? Moses is moving them to know who they are as God’s beloved family and to “fix in your heart, that the Lord is God . . . and that there is no other” (Deuteronomy 4:39).

But we are not to stay all curled up in the divine embrace. We have been sent forth to proclaim to others this good news, to “go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). We do this when we allow the Spirit to lead us, to guide us in witnessing to God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ~ James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.

Living God’s Word We can pray that we continue to live in the freedom of the children of God, to be led by God’s Spirit, to go forth to draw others into this family of God by showing the joy of being disciples.
