Merciful God, we will never truly understand the Trinity, but we
thank You Lord God for loving us and sending Jesus to be our
Lord, and God, and to die that we might have life eternal.
Lord God, we should be in awe at the way You function as the
Trinity.
The Father who loves us, the Son who saves us, and the Holy
Spirit who guides us.
What a mystery of faith to know that You God are one, yet
three.
Give us the grace of faith that we will praise and glorify You
in prayer, in song, and in all of our actions.
Thank you again, and again, for truly loving us. Amen and Amen
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

"The Spirit Himself gives witness with our spirit that we are
children of God." —Romans 8:16
Before you were born, you lived inside your mother's womb for
months. You were aware of her every breath and movement. You
could feel the beat of her heart and sense her moods. Although
you had never seen your mother, you had an intimate relationship
with her. As you matured in her womb, your mother would talk to
you. In some way, you could hear the sound of her voice.
Because of your position in the womb, you couldn't understand
the language she spoke, and it was impossible for you to
comprehend her world. She tried to describe her world and reveal
herself to you, but you couldn't get the picture. Yet you weren't
too young to feel her love for you.
The relationship between mother and pre-born child is analogous
to our relationship with the Triune God. The mystery of the Holy
Trinity is "inaccessible to reason alone" without divine revelation
(Catechism, 237). Yet God reveals Himself to the childlike
(Mt 11:25). Like the mother filled with love for her child, the Triune
God is always revealing Himself to us. The Father sends His Son
Jesus to us (Jn 3:16). The Son reveals the Father "in an unheard-of
sense" (Catechism, 240; see also Mt 11:27). We would never
know that we could address God as our Father if Jesus hadn't
taught us how to pray (Mt 6:9). The Father and the Son send the
Spirit. The Spirit reveals the Father and makes us cry out in our
hearts "Abba" (Gal 4:6; Rm 8:15).
We can't fully comprehend the Triune God, but we can relate to
Him. Strive to be more deeply immersed in Trinity-love.

"Seek eagerly after love. Set your hearts on spiritual gifts." —1
Corinthians 14:1
Pope John Paul II has taught: "The Holy Spirit, while bestowing
diverse ministries in Church communion, enriches it still further
with particular gifts or promptings of grace, called charisms...The
charisms are received in gratitude both on the part of the one
who receives them, and also on the part of the entire Church.
They are in fact a singularly rich source of grace for the vitality
of the apostolate and for the holiness of the whole Body of Christ
(The Lay Members of Christ's Faithful People, 24).
Pope John Paul II has also taught: "The Spirit of Jesus, received
by the humble and docile heart of the believer, brings about

Dear friends, May I please ask for your prayers? I am in a world
of hurt right now and don't remember ever being so low. In
December, I went for a procedure to help a pinched nerve in my
back and suffered a stroke when something went very wrong. My
whole life feels like it has fallen apart since. I lost my home in the
Pacific NW and had to move to WI and haven't been able to work.
Would you please pray for my healing (heart, mind and body) and
that I'll come through this even stronger and help others because
of this? Thank you and bless you. Penny - Green Bay, WI, USA
(P.A.J., Green Bay, wi, United States, 6/6/2009 10:45:24 AM)

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official teachings
of the Roman Catholic Church
POPE JOHN PAUL II
"HEAR HIS APPEAL"
On the fourth anniversary of the death of Pope John Paul II, hear
his appeal: "Have no fear of entrusting yourselves to [Christ]! He
will guide you, He will grant you the strength to follow Him every
day and in every situation."
"AN INCENTIVE TO ALL"
His memory is an incentive to all of us ... to let ourselves be
illuminated and called into question by the word of God ...
"DARING AND ARDENT"
John Paul II ... from his youth showed himself to be a daring and
ardent champion of Christ: He did not hesitate to expend all his
energy in order to spread Christ's light everywhere, he never
stooped to compromises when it was a matter of proclaiming and
defending His truth; He never tired of radiating His love.
(Source: Homily at Mass to commemorate the fourth anniversary
of the death of Pope John Paul II, April 2, 2009)
