O Lord our God, how wonderful Your name in all the earth!

 

Today’s Readings:  There is a familiar saying, “Two’s company; three’s a crowd.” Today’s celebration of the mystery of the Trinity powerfully suggests that three is not always a crowd. We are bidden to take the love of the triune God and share that love with others. We cannot hoard the love we receive from the Trinity. To believe in the Trinity is to announce that three’s not a crowd and that we, as Christians, are willing to spread God’s love all around.

      The goodness of our triune God can manifest itself in a variety of ways through our actions. Like the Wisdom Woman, we can be guides to the erring and so reveal a God of concern. Like the psalmist, we can be the chanters singing of both human and divine beauty and so proclaim the wonders of a God of love. Like the afflicted Roman Christians, we can boast of our hope for God’s glory. Like the Spirit-filled prophet in John’s Gospel, we can inquire into the ever new significance of Jesus’ message and so communicate a God of compassion. In all such cases, we announce that the love and concern of God expressed in the actions of Father, Son, and spirit extends to all human persons.

OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED THIS MONDAY FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

Receive the Holy Spirit

BY THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed. Those being confirmed (and members of St. Mary’s) this weekend are:

                        Aaron Blevins              Nathan Compton

                        Jack Kayser                 Samantha Kielmar

                        Daniel Ogg                   Melanie Roach

                        Jack Shope                  Rome Tovine
