Trinity Sunday

Jesus said to his disciples: "Know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time." What a wonderful consolation and strength that promise that Jesus made to us is for his followers! He is with us in so many ways - in the Sacraments; in the Eucharist; in our prayers. But Jesus is especially with us always in our love relationships, especially in marriage and family life. He is also with us through our parish community. That is the meaning of being a parish - a people among whom Jesus lives. And the wonderful thing is that he is also present to our world always through us. We have a serious responsibility to build our homes and parishes into real living communities of faith and love so that Jesus can bring salvation to our world and so that our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit may be praised and glorified.
