Saint Dunstan Catholic Church
The Most Holy Trinity
June 3, 2007

The love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.


This weekend we celebrate the feast of the Holy Trinity. This revelation of God as Trinity is a mystery and a relationship to be lived and experienced.

The Trinity is not a problem to be solved, a puzzle to be to be worked out or something to test our faith. We are surrounded and enfolded in this relationship. In this mystery ‘we live and move and have our being.’ When we enter the church to make a private visit or to join the community in worship, we usually make the sign of the cross. The words that accompany this holy action, “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”, reminds us that there are three persons in God. It also calls to mind that when we first entered the Church we were baptized in the same Holy Trinity. We belong to the family of God; we are members of His household, co-heirs with Christ, anointed with the Holy Spirit.

In the Eucharistic Prayer of the liturgy we proclaim to the Father: “All life, all holiness come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, by the working of the Holy Spirit.” Our faith in the Trinity is again reflected at the conclusion of the Eucharistic Prayer: “Through him, with him, in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever.”

On this feast we pray the simplest and most profound of Christian prayers: “Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen”
