May 22nd Trinity Sunday
Oh, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, fill us with the love that You have as the Triune God.
Fill us with your presence and let us be on fire, yet confident of how loved we are.
Let your love for each other come upon us and let it set us on a course of loving actions
toward all around us.
Let your love set upon us as a seal, a seal that cannot be broken through sin and
disobedience.
Continue to guide us to all truth and let us be instruments for you to others, to better
this beautifully created world that you gave us.
Let our fire cause us to see with Your eyes and love with Your love and touch with Your
touch.
Let us be as Christ to each other and let us raise our hearts to offer You praise and
worship through Your Church and its leaders.
Thank you for your never failing presence.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday ETERNAL, UNIQUE, TRIUNE RELATIONSHIPS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=5/22/2016
"All that the Father has belongs to Me (Jesus). That is why I said that what He
(the Holy Spirit) will announce to you He will have from Me." -John 16:15
God is one. He is uniquely one, for He is three Persons in one God. God is Trinity. He is
Family and Community.
God is a community of eternal begetting and "begottenness." The Father has been begetting
and is always begetting the Son. Therefore, the Son is uniquely begotten, and the Holy
Spirit is the eternal Fruit of this love of the Father and the Son.
God is a community of eternal sending. The Father has been sending and is always sending
Jesus and the Holy Spirit; Jesus also is always sending the Holy Spirit
(see Jn 20:21-22; 14:26; 16:7).
God is a community of eternal witnessing. The Spirit witnesses to the Son (Jn 15:26), Who
is the faithful and true Witness (Rv 1:5) of the Father, Who also witnesses for Jesus
(Jn 5:37; 8:18).
God is Triune Community, and the relationships in this Community are unique. We can
understand them enough to know that we can never understand them very well. God is
transcendent. His triune life is the mystery of mysteries. Yet He has chosen us to live in
Him and in Trinitarian love. Praise the Holy Trinity!
Prayer: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I have been immersed in You through Baptism
(Mt 28:19). May my life give glory to You.
Promise: "This hope will not leave us disappointed, because the love of God has been poured
out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us." -Rm 5:5
Praise: "Praise the Holy Trinity, undivided Unity; Holy God, Mighty God, God immortal, be
adored!"
Monday LOSING EVERYTHING TO BE SAVED
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=5/23/2016
"Then who can be saved?" -Mark 10:26
Tuesday THE BATTLE OF DESIRES
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=5/24/2016
"Do not yield to the desires that once shaped you in your ignorance." -1 Peter 1:14

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2016-03.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
GOD'S MERCY
WORKS OF MERCY
These works remind us that faith finds expression in concrete everyday actions meant to
help our neighbors in body and spirit: by feeding, visiting, comforting and instructing
them. On such things we will be judged. For this reason, I expressed my hope that "the
Christian people may reflect on the corporal and spiritual works of mercy; this will be
a way to reawaken our conscience, too often grown dull in the face of poverty, and to
enter more deeply into the heart of the Gospel where the poor have a special experience
of God's mercy" (Misericordiae Vultus).
NEVER SEPARATE
The corporal and spiritual works of mercy must never be separated. By touching the flesh
of the crucified Jesus in the suffering, sinners can receive the gift of realizing that
they too are poor and in need.
DON'T WASTE TIME
Let us not waste this ... favorable ... time for conversion! We ask this through the
maternal intercession of the Virgin Mary, who encountering the greatness of God's mercy
freely bestowed upon her, was the first to acknowledge her lowliness (cf. Lk 1:48) and
to call herself the Lord's humble servant (cf. Lk 1:38).
(Source: Message for Lent 2016, dated 10/4/2015, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi)
