Our school-wide theme this month is all about community and connection.  Our Wonderous God is, in fact, a connected community of Persons.  The Trinity is the central mystery of our faith. Our Creed, proclaimed at each and every Mass, testifies to this. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit define our 1 true God and demonstrates the profound significance of community via connection. The Father so loves the Son and the Son so loves the Father that Their wholehearted exchange is actively producing the Holy Spirit! If we just lost you, don’t fret. Reflecting upon this great mystery will be worth every meditative moment! Here is a resource that may support you and it dates a special Trinitarian, Christian prayer back to the late 2nd century. You may have heard of it; the sign of the cross.
