IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH May 30, 2021

La Santísima Trinidad, Dios

Cuando era pequeño, mis devotos padres católicos me enseñaron a hacer la señal de la cruz. Me catequizaron sobre la importancia de la señal de la cruz antes y después de cualquier evento, trabajo, quehaceres, estudios, deportes, ir a la escuela y después de la escuela, antes y después de las comidas, la oración matutina y vespertina. Comencé a servir en el altar en la Iglesia a la edad de siete años, el pastor me pidió que hiciera la señal de la cruz con

devoción cada vez que entraba a la Iglesia, antes y después de servir en la Santa Misa.

Mi clase de catecismo comenzó con que nos

aprendiéramos a hacer la señal de la cruz y su significado, aunque yo era muy consciente de su significado. Nuestra vida está escudada y protegida; Comenzó y terminará en el Dios Trinitario. Todas las oraciones en la Iglesia comienzan en el Nombre de la Santísima Trinidad y terminan glorificando a la Trinidad. Se administran todos los sacramentos; somos bautizados, confirmados, ungidos, nuestros pecados son perdonados, nuestro matrimonio es bendecido y nuestros obispos, sacerdotes y diáconos son ordenados en el nombre de la Santísima Trinidad. Las flores se disponen de forma triangular en la Iglesia, incensando al Señor del cielo y al Altar de la Iglesia en tres ocasiones. Cuando las campanas de la Iglesia suenan tres veces al día, nos recuerdan que debemos dar gloria a la Santísima Trinidad por la Encarnación de Jesús y Su redención de todos nosotros.

Nos bendecimos y el sacerdote nos bendice en el Nombre de la Santísima Trinidad. En el Evangelio de Juan, capítulos 15-18, tenemos un relato detallado de la enseñanza de Jesús sobre el papel de cada Persona de la Santísima Trinidad, que Dios el Padre crea y provee para Sus criaturas y Dios el Hijo nos redime y reconcilia con Dios. , y Dios el Espíritu Santo nos santifica, nos fortalece, nos enseña y nos guía a Dios.

El Nuevo Testamento da enseñanzas claras sobre la

Santísima Trinidad. A. En la Anunciación, Dios Padre envía su ángel a María, Dios Espíritu Santo desciende sobre ella, el Poder del Altísimo la cubre con su sombra y Dios Hijo se encarna en su seno. B. En el bautismo de Jesús, cuando el Hijo recibe el bautismo de Juan el Bautista, se escucha la Voz del Padre y el Espíritu Santo aparece como una paloma y desciende sobre Jesús. C. En la Ascensión, Jesús da el mandato misionero a sus discípulos de bautizar a los que creen, en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo.

La Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad nos recuerda que

debemos respetarnos a nosotros mismos y a los demás porque todos son el templo del Espíritu Santo donde moran las Tres Personas de la Santísima Trinidad. Debemos saber y tener una firme convicción de que el Dios Trinitario habita en nosotros, que Él es la Fuente de nuestra esperanza, valor y fortaleza. La Santísima Trinidad es nuestro destino final. Practiquemos la relación trinitaria de amor y unidad en nuestras relaciones familiares de padre, madre e hijos porque por el bautismo nos convertimos en hijos de Dios y miembros de la familia trinitaria de Dios.

P. Joachim Lepcha

The Most Holy Trinity, God

When I was a little boy, my devoted Catholic parents taught me how to make the sign of the cross. They catechized me on the importance of the sign of the cross before and after any events, work, chores, studies, sports, going to school and after school, before and after meals, morning, and evening prayer. I started altar serving in the Church at the age of seven, the Pastor asked me to make sign of the Cross devoutly every time I enter the Church, before and after serving at the Holy Mass.

My Catechism class began with learning how to make the

sign of the Cross and the meaning of it, even though I was well aware of its meaning. Our life is shielded and protected; It began and will end in the Trinitarian God. All prayers in the Church begin in the Name of the Holy Trinity and end glorifying the Trinity. All Sacraments are administered; we are baptized, confirmed, anointed, our sins are forgiven, our marriage is blessed, and our Bishops, priests and deacons are ordained in the name of the Holy Trinity. The flowers are arranged triangular shape in the Church, incensing the Lord of heaven and the Altar of the Church three times. When Church bells ring thrice daily, they remind us to give glory to the Holy Trinity for the Incarnation of Jesus and His Redemption of all of us.

We bless ourselves, and the priest blesses us, in the

Name of the Holy Trinity. In John’s Gospel, chapters 15–18, we have a detailed account of Jesus’ teaching of the role of each Person of the Holy Trinity, that God the Father creates and provides for His creatures and God the Son redeems us and reconciles us with God, and God the Holy Spirit sanctifies us, strengthens us, teaches us, and guides us to God.

The New Testament gives clear teachings on the Holy

Trinity. a. At the Annunciation, God the Father sends His angel to Mary, God the Holy Spirit comes upon her, the Power of the Most High overshadows her, and God the Son becomes Incarnate in her womb. b. At the baptism of Jesus, when the Son receives baptism from John the Baptist, the Father’s Voice is heard, and the Holy Spirit appears as a Dove and descends upon Jesus. c. At the Ascension, Jesus gives the missionary command to his disciples to baptize those who believe, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity reminds us that

we must respect ourselves and others because everyone is the temple of the Holy Spirit where all Three Persons of the Holy Trinity abide. We should know and have a firm conviction that the Trinitarian God abides in us, that He is the Source of our hope, courage, and strength. The Holy Trinity is our final destination. Let us practice the Trinitarian relationship of love and unity in our family relationships of father, mother, and children because by Baptism we become children of God and members of God’s Trinitarian family.
