When we as catholic christians say “Lord” are we referring to the father or to Jesus…?
 
I am referring to Jesus, although I don’t think this is universal. I do this because I was taught to bow my head if I use his name, and that is hard for me to remember. Also, we often refer to Mother Mary as our Lady around here.
 
Would it not apply to the Trinity as a whole? The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.
 
“My Lord and My God”

God is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

To refer to God as Lord I am addressing God the Son, Jesus, but equally people could be addressing God the Father or Holy Spirit.

God bless you

Lord can refer to all Persons of the Trinity or individual Persons of the Trinity.
