THE MYSTERY OF THE BLESSED TRINITY

Today we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity.

The Church sets aside this Sunday to focus our attention on the

mystery of the Blessed Trinity, God who is one, but three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The first reading from Deuteronomy emphasizes both God’s

awesome greatness and amazing nearness. It might seem

beyond belief, but the God of all creation speaks to us, protects

us, and guides us. The second reading from Saint Paul’s Letter

to the Romans describes how we are to relate to the three

persons who are one God. We are led by the Spirit to meet God

the Father as adopted children. Our

adoption is such that we are even heirs

with our brother, Christ, the second person

of the Trinity, in whose sufferings we must

also share. In Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus speaks with his authority as God and sends

us to teach and baptize in the name of the

Trinity.

PRAYER for ARCHBISHIP NIEDERAUER

and the NEW ARCHBISHOP

Good and Gracious God, by your providence you have given the Church of the Archdiocese of San Francisco good shepherds throughout its history. As the process of discernment continues towards the appointment by the Holy Father of a new Archbishop of San Francisco, we humbly pray that you, Heavenly Father, will choose a new shepherd who will continue the good work his predecessors have achieved. We pray that you will enable and inspire a shepherd who will preach the Word joyfully, teach the faith fearlessly, celebrate the sacraments reverently, doing all in a spirit of love and compassion, for the unborn who have no voice, for the poor who are often forgotten, for the young who seek guidance, for the sick who need healing, for the aged who yearn for hope, and for all your faithful people who come together as one Body in Christ to profess, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one Church. We pray that you will grant Archbishop Niederauer peace and happiness in his retirement. Through the intercession of Mary, the Mother of the Church, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we ask this in the name of Christ our Lord. Amen.
