Father's Day and the Holy Trinity

Today we ask God‘s blessing upon our fathers, both
living and deceased. ―Loving God, bless our fathers,
both living and deceased. Send your Holy Spirit to
strengthen them in their faith, to inspire them in your
love, and to celebrate your life and love with their
children and grandchildren.‖

It is also Trinity Sunday. Today we reflect upon a great mystery of our faith;
God is one in nature and essence and yet three
distinct divine persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Even though we cannot adequately understand this mystery
of the Holy Trinity, we can still live it each day. As people
of faith, whenever we celebrate love, family, friendship and
community we live the mystery of the Holy Trinity. When
we experience these relationships we develop a deeper
understanding of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

May the Holy Trinity bless us all, May the Holy Trinity especially bless all Fathers' living and deceased, today.
