Solemnity of the most Holy trinity

Todays readings offer us a variety of images of Gods outreach & involvement with history. Proverbs speaks of Gods
utter delight in creation, creation unfolds under the influence of love.
Pauls reflection in Romans moves from the image of
the awesome, all-powerful, Creator to Gods crowning selfrevelation in Jesus. In this short passage Paul describes
Jesus as the source of peace between God and humanity.
For Paul, Jesus reveals Gods basic
attitude of love toward humanity &
invites us to fully enjoy the grace
that springs from Gods love a
grace that has the power to minimize any affliction we might face.
Todays Gospel makes a point
that we as a church have rarely
taken with sufficient seriousness.
As Jesus shares the Last Supper
table with his disciples, he says, I
have much more to tell you, but you
cannot bear it now. But when the Spirit of Truth comes, he
will guide you.
That proclamation offers us two very comforting and
compelling ideas. First of all, Jesus is telling us that its
okay that our concepts are inadequate, that we dont know
the answers and that we cant understand all God is doing
or asking of us. At the same time, Jesus is saying that our
limitations are surmountable and that the Holy Spirit will
guide us to the extent that we allow ourselves to be led.
Revelation is an ongoing process.
The feast of the Trinity invites us not to heady speculation but to loving appreciation. It is a time to give thanks to
the God who loves us, to meditate on the ways we have
encountered that love and all the names for God that love
has inspired. Young or old, brilliant or simple, all of us are
capable of celebrating this day as the feast of the great love
of God. (http://celebrationpublications.org/node/3396 & http://www.salfordliturgy.org.uk/trinityc.htm)

Looking Ahead
Syrian Refugee Family: As of the printing of
this bulletin, our sponsored family should
have arrived late Thursday afternoon. They
will have a busy and challenging week settling into their transition home, as well as dealing
with all of the paperwork (SIN, healthcare cards,
etc) and the mundane tasks (set up a bank account)
necessary for newly arrived citizens of Canada.
While we do not require household items at this
time, there is an immediate need for a stroller that
would seat a 2 year child & perhaps a tricycle for
her to enjoy our lovely spring weather. Please contact the Parish office if you have questions or have
one of these items to donate. Note: there are donation envelopes in each of the pews to aid in the
sponsorship of Refugee families & sponsorship
pledge cards were sent out this week.
St. Marys Cathedral will be hosting the
Feed the Hungry dinner on Sunday, June
26th.
We need to provide over 100 volunteers and
$5000.00 for the meal and we need your help!
On the weekend of June 4th & 5th, we will be registering volunteers for the dinner. Assistants will be at
all the Masses to help in the sign-up to ensure we
get the contact information to reach volunteers with
reminders and updates.
Please mark your calendar and sign up before or
after Mass on June 4/5. We ask that you also please
prayerfully consider making a donation to St. Marys
to underwrite the cost of the dinner.

But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will
guide you to all truth (John 16:13)

the truth. To prepare ourselves, we need to open
our hearts to receive this gift before we can give it.
