A little boy was listening to a long and
excessively tiring sermon in church.
Suddenly the red sanctuary lamp
caught his eye. Tugging his father's
sleeve, he said, "Daddy, when the
light turns green can we go?"

and nation,
pour out, we pray, the gifts of
the Holy Spirit across the face of
the earth and, with the divine
grace that was at work when the

lievers. Through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with you in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ev-
er and ever.

Living the Gospel – Sign of the Cross - ‘Every time we bless ourselves or begin prayer with the sign of the cross, we reaffirm our belief in the Trinity. That seemingly simple prayer, ‘In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,’ is, in fact, a confirmation of our belief in a triune God – three in one. The earliest use of the sign of the cross only involved tracing a small cross with the thumb or finger on the forehead as it is still done in baptisms or blessings today. Later, describing the shape of the cross on forehead, abdomen and shoulders became the common practice.
REFLECTION
The readings for this feast do not directly explain the doctrine of the
Trinity as we have come to know it. Rather, they offer us glimpses into
the nature of our Triune God. The psalm response suggests that our
primary response to God should be one of praise for the love that God
has for us.
The God who is beyond our comprehension is also the God who has
saved us. We see this theme in both the first reading and the gospel.
The covenant language in the reading from Exodus underscores God’s
unfathomable goodness. God’s graciousness and mercy are not re-
wards for our fidelity. They are extended to us in our sinfulness. It is
God’s saving grace that transforms us, not any merit on our part. In
the gospel we are assured that Jesus was sent into the world to save
it, not to condemn it.
The Trinitarian phrase found in the letter to the Corinthians is so ex-
pressive of the love that God has for us that it has been incorporated
regularly into the liturgy. It declares that through his death and resur-
rection, Jesus has opened for us the treasury of divine grace. It also
proclaims that the love of God has forged the bonds of community that
unite us. Created in the image and after the likeness of this God, we
are called to unity among ourselves. As incomprehensible as it may
seem, it is primarily through the unity that we share that we will mani-
fest the unity that exists in God. @Dianne Bergant CSS
