Blessing of Fathers

God and Father of all creation,

we come before you today with humble hearts.

You are our model of a loving father.

When we fail and fall short of your expectations,

you are always there at the end of the day with open arms,

ready to heal the cuts and scrapes of the day

and to encourage us to try again and not to give up.

We hold up these men in our midst who act in the world

as fathers to their children or models of fathers for others.

Bless them in their moments of doubt and frustration with

their children.

Give them warm and open hearts to forgive failures.

Provide them with the words needed for encouragement

and perseverance.

We ask all this in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

The Most

Holy Trinity

If God is one, how can He be three? The most intelligent theolo-

gians have racked their brains over the problem, and the most

prayerful ones have surrendered to the mystery. How it can be,

we can't explain. But what it means, we can join! Our God is an

ever-unfolding relationship. Theologians speak of the immanent

and economic Trinity. The Trinity is immanent in the sense that

the Persons are close and entirely sufficient within Godself. In

other words, God doesn't require us for God to exist. The word

economic is rooted in the Greek word for management of a

household or family. The Trinity is economic in the sense that

God has invited us to be part of Him. He's growing the family!

We see the dynamic here in today's Gospel.

Jesus says the Spirit "will take from what is mine and declare it

to you" and that "everything that the Father has is mine." There

is relationship here. Jesus speaks (and is) the word of the Father.

The Holy Spirit speaks what He hears from the Son. The Father

gives everything to the Son, and the Spirit speaks that inheri-

tance over us. God invites us into the Trinitarian family!

The doctrine of the Trinity isn't something to brush off as over-

whelming. After all, "the Spirit of truth... will guide you to all

truth." This occurs most perfectly in the Church, who protects

all that has been revealed by God in Scripture and gradually

unpacked in tradition. We can trust the declarations of Her theo-

logians and learn from the lives of Her saints. The Trinity may

be a mystery, but, by the grace of God, we can have real truth

about who God is and how we can love like Him.

DAY OF REFLECTION:

FROM MOURNING TO MORNING

Wednesday, June 19, 2019 from 9:15-4:00pm

Any significant loss in a person's life (death, divorce, loss of

job, home or health, etc.) completely changes one's life. Life

becomes a jumble of people and events, or an empty vacuum.

There seems to be no hope that life will ever "be good" again.

This day will focus on the journey that leads a grieving person

from the beginning of a deep "mourning" of darkness to a new

"morning" of light that gives hope for a life restored -- a per-

sonal Easter. (Cost: $45) To Register call: 508-222-8530
