My dear parishioners and visitors,
We celebrated for the last two weekends the Feasts of Ascension and of Pentecost. This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity and of the Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi, on the next weekend. These are the four important feasts, being celebrated yearly at the end of the Easter Season and the beginning of the Ordinary time.
The Blessed Trinity, one God in three Persons, is the central mystery of our Christian faith, deeply rooted in the Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition (CCC. 234-250, 252). The Blessed Trinity, being a mystery in itself, is beyond our finite human minds. However we firmly believe and graciously accept this mystery on faith and joyfully profess it because it is revealed to us and handed on by the Church (CCC. 251,256).
The sign of the cross is a simple prayer and a powerful profession of our faith in the Blessed Trinity. We always begin and end our prayers, privately and publicly, with the Sign of the Cross to show our faith in the Blessed Trinity, our love for this mystery and our hope in it. Please remember bless ourselves often with this great Trinitarian prayer always with faith, devotion and love. May the united loving relationship of the Blessed Trinity inspire us all to live together joyfully in our family of St. Ann’s, deeply united in faith, hope and love, to worship faithfully the Blessed Trinity and generously to help one another in this journey of faith.
Please say a prayer for me on June 1st, Monday. It is my 24th Priestly Ordination. Thank you so much for your goodness, support, love also for your food.
Have a blessed week. Fr. Peter H. Nguyen. (Sorry, No Lectio Divina, Sacred Reading, this week).
