TRINITY SUNDAY:

Trinity Sunday, celebrated a week after Pentecost, honours what the Catechism of the Catholic Church calls the central mystery of Christian faith and life – the Most Holy Trinity. Today, we remember and honour God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Christians believe that the Trinity is a mystery – a reality that is beyond human comprehension and that cannot be understood through reason alone. We believe that there is only one God but God exists in three persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three persons are not three Gods – Father, Son and Holy Spirit is equally God and the three cannot be divided. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 232-267, gives a good explanation of the doctrine.

PARISH CENSUS Continues:

The QR code is also still available for those who wish to register digitally. If you know of anyone who is unable to get to church for a form, please take one for them and then bring them back. Having the correct information is important so that all parishioners can be contacted with important information, such as the recent closure of the Cathedral for maintenance issues and the alternate location of daily and weekend Masses for the duration. Your cooperation and assistance in this important initiative is very much appreciated.

REFLECTION:

Reflection in a well: Once a young boy stood watching a gypsy as he drank from a well in the town square. After drinking, the man continued to gaze into the well, as though looking at someone. He was a giant of a man buy had a friendly face. So the boy approached and asked: ‘Who lives down there?’ ‘God does’ answered the gypsy. ‘Can I see him?’ ‘Sure you can’ said the gypsy. Then taking the boy into his arms he lifted him up so that he could see down into the well. All the boy could see was his own reflection in the water. ‘But that’s only me,’ he cried in disappointment. ‘ All I see is me.’ ‘Ah, repliedb the gypsy, ‘now you know where God lives. He lives in you.’
