Spiritual Life

The Gospel for Last Sunday, June 7, 2020–Trinity Sunday
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.--John 3:16-18

Reflection
This Sunday, we celebrated Trinity Sunday to honor the patron of our school. The Trinity is a mystery of unity. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share an eternal existence united in love. This communion of Persons desires to share this love and unity with the physical world, and so created humanity. Through our sin, humanity has broken the relationship of love and unity that it shared with God. But as our Gospel reading today points out, "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…that world might be saved through him."

Currently, in our country, we see elements of disunity and hate. We see injustice and violence. We see innocent people being hurt. The Christian life calls us to rise above the disunity and hate. We are called to love as God loves. We are called to work for unity and justice for all. We are called to work to replace violence with compassion, hate with love, and injustice with justice. We are called to work towards solutions that benefit all people. When we disagree, we are called to do so with respect for one another and to work for compromise. We are called to remember that we cannot do this alone, so we must, in the words of St. Augustine, "Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you." We are called to work for the Highest Good and to change the world (we dare to do).
Saints of the Week--Saint Ephrem, June 9
Saint Ephrem was ordained a deacon, but refused ordination to the priesthood. He was a teacher, defender of the faith, and a prolific writer. He refuted many heresies of his day, often through the lyrics of hymns that he wrote.

Prayer for the Week
God our Father, who by sending into the world the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification
who made known to the human race your wondrous mystery, grant us, we pray, that in professing the true faith, we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
