Father’s Day
Today, we remember the fathers in our families in a special way to honor and thank them. Our fathers, usually, are silent people, but they always love and sacrifice for their families. We are grateful to them and always thank God for giving us a father to love, care for and raise us to become useful people for society. May God always give good health to our fathers and keep and protect them in your loving arms. May God bless all our fathers!

The Trinity

Every Mass is a celebration of the Trinity. But this Sunday, the Church is dedicated to worship the mystery of the Trinity in a special way, to highlight the Love of the Three Divine Persons in His plan of Salvation. This is the central mystery of the faith and of all the liturgical activities of the Church.  

Three But One: We do not believe in three gods, but in one God in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Each Person of the Trinity is all in One God. Each Person exists only in union with the other two in a relationship of perfect love. Therefore, the whole work of God is the common work of the Trinity and our whole life as Christians is a communion with each of the three Gods.

Jesus revealed to us the mystery of God. It is He, the Son, who taught us about God the Father in heaven, and has given us the Holy Spirit, the love between the Father and the Son. Christian theology has summarized the truth about God in the expression: One substance in three Persons. God is not a solitary being but a God of perfect communion. For this reason, humanity, the image of God, is always full of love, a dear gift given to each person. And the whole life of a Christian is filled with the presence of the Triune God. 

Each of us is created in the image of God, who is Love. Therefore, our life is only meaningful when we know how to love. We can only be happy when we participate in the love of the Triune God, live according to the model of the Triune God to unite, live in harmony and know how to sacrifice and share with each other in the ways and will of God. When we completely forget ourselves to live for love, we will be united with the love of God. That is the happiness of heaven. That is the goal of our life. 

Holy Trinity, please help us to live in love so that we can always see You so that we can become more and more like the Your image. Amen.
