June 3rd Holy Trinity
Jesus, the Trinity is a mystery that we just have to believe.
Give us the grace to just believe and give the triune God praise and glory.
Lord, let us be amazed that the father loves us so much that He sent His only begotten son,
that we may be freed from the effects of sin, and so attain the right to be called children of
the triune God.
Thank You, father, son and Holy spirit for Your love and grace.
Thank You for all the many ways You show us that love, and thank You for using us to love
others.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday THREE FOR ALL
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=6/3/2012
"You did not receive a spirit of slavery leading you back into fear, but a Spirit of adoption
through Which we cry out, 'Abba!' (that is, 'Father')." -Romans 8:15
Twenty-seven years ago, during Mass on Trinity Sunday, I had a profound and life-changing
experience of the love of the Triune God. I had been worshipping God for years, but I had
doubted (Mt 28:17). I believed that the Lord could change people's hearts, and had seen it
happen to others. Yet subconsciously I didn't think He had enough power to change me. I
believed more in the staying power of my fears and weaknesses than in God's power to change me.
During the homily, I was filled to overflowing with a new confidence in the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. I made the decision to begin publicly bearing witness to all the good things God
had done for me (Ps 116:12), and carried that change permanently into my workplace the next
day. This change wasn't forced; it just flowed naturally and easily from a deep gratitude to
God (1 Thes 5:18).
Every year on Trinity Sunday, we are filled anew with that Spirit of adoption that leads us to
lovingly cry out "Abba, Father!" (Rm 8:15; Gal 4:6). Today is the celebration of a joy which
no one can take away from us (Jn 16:22). Today we realize all over again that the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit are with us always (Mt 28:20). Today we can give ourselves completely to God.
Christian brothers and sisters, rejoice today in "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the
love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit" (2 Cor 13:13). Praise to the Holy Trinity
forever!
Prayer: "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit!"
Promise: "The Spirit Himself gives witness with our spirit that we are children of God." -Rm 8:16
Praise: "Praise the Holy Trinity, undivided Unity! Holy God, mighty God, God immortal, be adored."
Monday THE NECESSITY OF PERSEVERANCE

Tuesday JESUS, COME BACK TODAY!
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=6/5/2012
Look "for the coming of the day of God and [try] to hasten it!" -2 Peter 3:12

(Carol, Arizona, 6/2/2012 7:04:52 PM)
Lord, I am placing my pain into Your precious hands, which is where it is, it should have been
and where it should be. My baby girl died in a tragic car accident one year ago. Please take
care of the situation with CVH, SA, JS, NO, BK, ZH and EB. I cannot take this pain any longer
by myself. I am too weak. Thank you, Lord. I trust in You.

Fear is useless.LORD please look kindly on the petitions posted and all the requests said
silently in our hearts. LORD let there be miracles today. In JESUS I trust. Thank you
(Jim, 6/2/2012 6:24:34 PM)
Let us all pray for the salvation of souls, which I believe is the duty of all Catholics. When
we pray for others, it helps us to overcome selfishness, self-centeredness and self-love. Then
Glorify our Lord, which justice requires, but let us also do it out of the freedom Jesus has
obtained for us. Amen.
(Anonymous, 6/2/2012 6:02:39 PM)
Jesus, I Love You, Please Save Souls. Amen. (Anonymous, 6/2/2012 5:56:47 PM)

and sisters in Christ please pray for us..In Jesus' name I pray amen..
(rfh, 6/2/2012 5:26:00 PM)
Please pray for my husband Santana. That the Lord touches his heart and an opening happens so
that he can see the damage he is doing with his adultry, pride, anger, depression and
selfishness. He is totally surrounded by the evil one and is blind to God, His Graces and His
Church. Please pray for him.God Bless you all and Pray for our Family to get through this and
May it be God's Will. Amen
(PV H., DALLAS, TX, United States, 6/2/2012 2:52:52 PM)
For my friend's son to get some direction and gumption to get a job and/or finish his college
education. The boy stays clean from drugs, too, and gets help for depression if it's an issue.
For my friend and I to have good meetings this week and the travel is safe. That we work things
out in our relationship and grow even closer in devotion, caring, and love for each other.

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2012-05.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
"CRITICAL ROLE"
With her long tradition of respect for the right relationship between faith and reason,
the Church has a critical role to play in countering cultural currents which, on the
basis of extreme individualism, seek to promote notions of freedom detached from moral
truth.
CHURCH MUST NOT BE SILENT
The legitimate separation of Church and State cannot be taken to mean that the Church
must be silent on certain issues, nor that the State may choose not to engage, or be
engaged by, the voices of committed believers in determining the values which will shape
the future of the nation.
"GRAVE THREATS"
... It is imperative that the entire Catholic community in the United States come to
realize the grave threats to the Church's public moral witness presented by a radical
secularism which finds increasing expression in the political and cultural spheres ...
Of particular concern are certain attempts being made to limit that most cherished of
American freedoms, the freedom of religion.
