From Father Jim“Having come down in a cloud, the Lord stood with Moses 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.’”

Children sing with great gusto ‘Our God is an awesome God…’ Any words we use to describe God fall short of reality, whether it be the Trinity or each Person. Maybe we should grab the descriptive words of Exodus to describe God, as we know the three Divine Persons through their activity of creator, redeemer and animator.

God is merciful, the wonderful virtue emphasized by Pope Francis. Our God is gracious or considerate of us in our need, one of the fruits of the Spirit as described by St. Paul. Our God is one not to take offense, He doesn’t get mad, but perhaps at times He is disappointed with us and He is filled with kindness, one of the fruits of the Spirit described by Saint Paul. God is always true to His word and fulfilling His promises. We can apply all these characteristics to the God we praise on this Trinity Sunday.

The Most Holy Trinity

LiturgyReadings for next week: THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI)

First Reading: Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a Moses reminds the Israelites that when they were starving in the desert, the Lord fed them with “manna” -- a food not known to them. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:16-17 Paul shows the Corinthians that through sharing the cup and breaking the bread, they are all one in Christ Jesus. Gospel: John 6:51-58 After Jesus feeds the five thousand people with barley loaves and fishes, he tries to make them understand the significance and the meaning of what he has done. He tells them, in mysterious and beautiful words, that the bread he gives is his flesh and says, “I myself am the living bread... If anyone eats this bread, he shall live forever.”
