Charity registration No. SC002876   Sunday May 30th. 2010 Feast of the Blessed Trinity or many of  us, long  before we had  our first lesson  in religion, or  learned to say the Our  Father or recite the  Hail Mary, our parents  taught us how to bless  ourselves and make  the sign of the cross  while they uttered the  words, “In the name  of the Father and of  the Son and of the  Holy Spirit. Amen.”  This distinguishing  symbolic action of our  faith in God being one  in three persons sums  up the feast we are celebrating today. It speaks to us of the  unbounded mystery of God and is the rock from which we  are hewn as well as being the source of our hope and joy.   Our understanding of God as one in three persons came only  by degrees. This was an insight into the life of God which we  could never have discovered on our own, and even after  having been told we still have no understanding of how this  can be. Our knowledge of the Trinity comes from what Jesus  said and did while he was here on earth when he, ever so  carefully and gradually, made known his relationship to God  the Father and the Holy Spirit.               Trinity Sunday celebrates the wonderful mystery of God  who is our Creator, Saviour and Sanctifier and is the centre  of love, which overflows to the whole of creation. The three  persons in the Trinity are so enveloped in each other that  they are perfectly one. Love begins in the Father who  created us and cares so deeply about us that he sent his   only Son into the world as a brother who died for our sakes  and is poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who  sanctifies us. Their closeness is a model for the relationships  we must have as Christians for one another—going out to  each other in a spirit of love and unity. We received all the  sacraments in the name of the Blessed Trinity:    Sacraments:  Baptism: we were baptised  in the name of the Father,  Son and Holy Spirit who  came to dwell within our  souls. At the river Jodan, the  Trinity was present when  Jesus was baptised—the  voice of the Father the  descent of the Holy Spirit in  the form of a dove, and Jesus  the Son of God..    Confirmation:   We were sealed with the Holy  Spirit in the name of the Trinity,  and the grace we received in  baptism is strengthened within us  to give witness to God in a world  that is becoming ever more  irreligious and secular.  This is the commitment of a  young person to serve God  faithfully throughout their life.  Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Main Menu Notices 2 Page 4 Notices
