Dear Brothers and Sisters,

What a glorious Feast day we celebrate today! Too few Catholics, it seems to me, are aware of our call into the perfect unity of the Blessed Trinity. Too few have been taught or remember what the Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us in paragraph 265:
By the grace of Baptism, “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” we are called to share in the life of the Blessed Trinity, here on earth in the obscurity of faith, and after death in eternal life…

By God’s Grace, may we offer ourselves today with Jesus to the Father in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with Mary as she gave Jesus on Calvary, having received Him by the power of the Holy Spirit at His Incarnation. Mass readings for today can help us enter into this Glorious Mystery of Love. Let us ponder God’s Word in our hearts as Mary did.
Reading 1

Early in the morning Moses went up Mount Sinai
as the LORD had commanded him,
taking along the two stone tablets.

Having come down in a cloud, the LORD stood with Moses there
and proclaimed his name, "LORD."
Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out,
"The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity."
Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship.
Then he said, “If I find favor with you, O Lord,
do come along in our company.
This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins,
and receive us as your own.” (Exodus 34:4B-6, 8-9)

Reading 2

Brothers and sisters, rejoice.
Mend your ways, encourage one another,
agree with one another, live in peace,
and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the holy ones greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
and the love of God
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. (2 COR 13:11-13)

Gospel

God so loved the world that He gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,
but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,
because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (Jn 3:16-18)

May the Most Holy Trinity, the Undivided Unity, have mercy on us and bless us.
 
Here’s a reflection for all of you from Bishop Barron

Dear Eric,

Thanks for your heart! May this be a blessed day for you and for all those who listen to His Word, seeking as Mary our Mother did on this earth – always to do His Truth! 🙂
 
Thanks for your reply, David, St. John of the Cross said it perhaps more succinctly in writing that God spoke One Word and His Name is Jesus! 🙂

Also if you haven’t read, Pope St. John Paul II’s Encyclical , “Dominum et vivificantm” on the Holy Spirit, it is truly beautiful!

Thanks for your reply, Gio. Yes, May the Most Holy Trinity, the Undivided Unity, have Mercy on us and Bless us. Amen.
 
Thanks so much CF for you blessings on this beautiful Feast! Perhaps you are familiar with this prayer of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity:
O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me forget myself entirely so to establish myself in you, unmovable and peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing be able to trouble my peace or make me leave you, O my unchanging God, but may each minute bring me more deeply into your mystery! Grant my soul peace. Make it your heaven, your beloved dwelling and the place of your rest. May I never abandon you there, but may I be there, whole and entire, completely vigilant in my faith, entirely adoring, and wholly given over to your creative action.

It is one of my favorites! 🙂
 
DearCF,

I found this prayer years ago and I continue to go back to it . It is in Part 1 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in paragraph # 260:
260 The ultimate end of the whole divine economy is the entry of God’s creatures into the perfect unity of the Blessed Trinity. But even now we are called to be a dwelling for the Most Holy Trinity: “If a man loves me”, says the Lord, “he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him”:[

“O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me forget myself entirely so to establish myself in you, unmovable and peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing be able to trouble my peace or make me leave you, O my unchanging God, but may each minute bring me more deeply into Your mystery! Grant my soul peace. Make it Your heaven, Your beloved dwelling and the place of Your rest. May I never abandon You there, but may I be there, whole and entire, completely vigilant in my faith, entirely adoring, and wholly given over to Your creative action.” (Prayer of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity)
