~ Have a happy week, Fr Paul
Trinity Sunday
22 May 2016
Regina Coeli Parish In the Archdiocese of Sydney
Dear Friends,
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that :by sending his only
Son and the Spirit of Love in the fullness of time, God has revealed his
innermost secret: God himself is an eternal exchange of love, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit, and he has destined us to share in that exchange” (221). Today’s
feast of the Trinity reminds us to strive to be a people centred in this
communion of life and love. Pope Francis says that Holy Trinity Sunday exhorts
us to live “one with the other”, to “welcome the beauty of the Gospel message”
and to learn to ask forgiveness.
Jubilee Year of Mercy – Mary, the Mother of Mercy
Have you ever found it difficult to forgive? If so, turn to Mary, the Mother
of Mercy. She is the Mother of God whose “mercy endures forever” (Ps 118:1),
the Mother of Jesus who prayed, “Father, forgive them, they know not what
they do” (Lk. 23:34). She is our surest help when we struggle with feelings of
resentment or the desire to “get even.” For did not she, of all people, have
reason to feel resentment, to desire revenge, to despise those who betrayed and
abandoned her Son? Did not she have reason to wish for revenge against the
hypocrisy of religious leaders who twisted the truth of his words and the
goodness of his mighty deeds to justify his condemnation as a charlatan
deserving death? And, did not she have reason to wish for vengeance against
the cowardice of Pilate, the cruelty of his executioners, and the mockery of the
bystanders who scornfully laughed at her beloved Son stripped naked dying
helplessly on the cross? Indeed, she had every reason to cry out to God asking
for vengeance against the perpetrators of such barbarous cruelty! But, no, she
did not. She forgave. She witnessed Jesus asking His Father to forgive. So let
us pray the “Hail, Holy Queen” every day during this Holy Year of Mercy, asking
Mary, the Mother of Mercy, to help us be merciful when we feel the desire for
revenge or for “getting even.” May Mary, the Mother of Mercy be “our life, our
sweetness, and our hope” as we learn how “blessed are the merciful for they
shall receive mercy.” (Mt 5:7). –Sr. Annette Pelletier, IHM, Prof. of Theology,
Immaculata University

Liturgy of the Word Trinity Sunday
First Reading 8:22-31 A reading from the book of Proverbs The Wisdom of God cries aloud: The Lord created me when his purpose first un-folded, before the oldest of his works. From everlasting I was firmly set, from the beginning, before earth came into be-ing. The deep was not, when I was born, there were no springs to gush with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I came to birth; before he made the earth, the countryside, or the first grains of the world's dust. When he fixed the heavens firm, I was there, when he drew a ring on the surface of the deep, when he thickened the clouds above, when he fixed fast the springs of the deep, when he assigned the sea its boundaries – and the waters will not invade the shore – when he laid down the foundations of the earth, I was by his side, a master craftsman, delighting him day after day, ever at play in his presence, at play everywhere in his world, delighting to be with the sons of men. The Word of the Lord Responsorial Psalm (R.) O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth! 1. When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, the moon and the stars which you arranged, what is man that you should keep him in mind, mortal man that you care for him? (R.) 2. Yet you have made him little less than a god; with glory and honour you crowned him, gave him power over the works of your hand, put all things under his feet. (R.) 3. All of them, sheep and cattle, yes, even the savage beasts, birds of the air, and fish that make their way through the waters. (R.)
Second Reading 5:1-5 A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans Through our Lord Jesus Christ, by faith we are judged righteous and at peace with God, since it is by faith and through Jesus that we have en-tered this state of grace in which we can boast about looking forward to God’s glory. But that is not all we can boast about; we can boast about our sufferings. These sufferings bring patience, as we know, and patience brings perseverance, and perseverance brings hope, and this hope is not deceptive, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit which has been given us. The Word of the Lord Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia! Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: to God who is, who was, and who is to come. Alleluia! Gospel 16:12-15 A reading from the holy Gospel according to John Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I still have many things to say to you but they would be too much for you now. But when the Spirit of truth comes he will lead you to the complete truth, since he will not be speaking as from himself but will say only what he has learnt; and he will tell you of the things to come. He will glorify me, since all he tells you will be taken from what is mine. Everything the Father has is mine; that is why I said: All he tells you will be taken from what is mine.’ The Gospel of the Lord
