CATHOLIC FAITH AT HOME RESOURCES For ST. THOMAS MORE PARISHIONERS JUNE 12

THE MOST HOLY TRINITY!

WHAT IS THE MYSTERY OF THE HOLY TRINITY? This Sunday we celebrate the Most Holy Trinity at mass. How much do you know about the Holy Trinity? "The Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith and life... the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them" (CCC 234).  It is one of the mysteries of faith "that are hidden in God, which can never be known unless they are revealed by God" (CCC 237, quoting Dei Filius 4).  Once this mystery is revealed to us in God's divine goodness, even though it seems an impenetrable paradox — one God in three Persons — we recognize that the reality of the Triune God is exactly what we need...what we were made for.  Click the link below to discover more about this awesome mystery of our faith: THE MYSTERY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY Click the link below for a beautiful...: VIDEO PRAYER TO THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

GOSPEL READING REFLECTION For June 12, 2022 MOST HOLY TRINITY Year C John 16:12-15   ****************************************************************************** THE MYSTERY OF THE TRINITY “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth."  The Trinity is the central mystery both of our Christian faith (what we believe) and of Christian life (how we are to behave). The Trinity is at the heart of what Christ came to reveal and how he teaches us to live. We call the doctrine of the Trinity a mystery because it is a truth we could never know by reason alone. In addition, it is something we can partially but will never fully grasp. “God alone can make [this] known to us by revealing himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” (CCC 261) We learn from the Incarnation of God the Son that God the Father and God the Son are “consubstantial.” This means that they are “one and the same God” (CCC 262). That is, they are the same substance or essence. And we learn from “the mission of the Holy Spirit” that “the Spirit is one and the same God,” too. (CCC 263). The three persons in God are all to be “adored and glorified,” as the Nicene Creed puts it. The Church terms this adoration latria, “the veneration due to God alone for his supreme excellence and to show people’s complete submission to him.” Latria is “given only to God, as the Trinity, or one of the Divine Persons, Christ as God and as man, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Holy Eucharist.”
