Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Happy Trinity Sunday! In today's Gospel, we hear Jesus declare together all three Persons of the Trinity. "Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." When we speak of the Trinity, two different theological words are sometimes used: immanent and economic. The immanent Trinity is the life of the three Persons within themselves, the inner harmonious relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. We see this in the Gospels when Jesus speaks of his Father and promises to send the Holy Spirit. The term "economic" has its roots in the Greek word oikonomia, roughly meaning "household management." The economic Trinity is our three-Personed God's relationship with creation; it is creation and redemption and ongoing relationship with us. Made in the image and likeness of God, we are called to imitate God's immanence by giving and receiving love with one another in community. However, this is not limited only to those close to us, though that's where love often starts. We also imitate the economy of God when we go out, when we extend our love and care in a life-giving way. "Go therefore ?" Every believer is sent on mission. Every believer is invited to follow Jesus and the Apostles "to the nations," to the margins, to the people who require a little extra reach. This could be a distant relative, the residents of your local homeless shelter or even the forgotten neighbor next door! When we love well, we create something beautiful-a relationship, a holy moment, a foretaste of heaven. This Trinity Sunday, take some time to examine the relationships in your life. How well do you love those nearest to you?

Please Pray for Vocations.

Please remember St. Irenaeus Parish in your will.

The Most Holy Trinity

The week opens with Trinity Sunday, which always

follows Pentecost. It celebrates the un-knowable

relationship between the Father, Son and the Holy

Spirit - and their loving support for us in our lives.

“When he comes, the Spirit of truth will guide you to all

truth...”

Thursday is the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

It is the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, for most

of the World, except for the U.S., where it is celebrated on

Sunday.

The first readings this week are from the pastoral letters,

The First Letter of Peter. During the week, we resume reading Mark's Gospel

where we left it when Lent began. It offers us stories about

sacrificing part of ourselves. We hear of the Rich Young

Man: “Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you

will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that

statement, his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had

many possessions. Peter tells Jesus, “We have given up

everything and followed you.” Jesus responds, “there is no

one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother

or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake

of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more.”

When the disciples squabble over who will sit in glory with

Jesus, he tells them, “the Son of Man did not come to be

served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for

many.” Bartimaeus, a blind man recognizes Jesus as “Son of

David” and is healed. Bartimaeus follows Jesus. He drives

money changers out of the Temple saying, “My house shall

be called a house of prayer ... but you have made it a den of

thieves.” We end the week with Jesus evading the trickery

of the chief priests who ask him “by what authority are you

doing these things?”

Sunday in the US is the Solemnity of the Most Holy

Body and Blood of Christ.

Daily Prayer This Week

This is a week we can look at letting go-of riches,

honors, pride. In these Ordinary Time days we can

hand it all over to Jesus and ask for the trust we need

in our lives. We can hand over our fears and jealousy,

our titles and our possessions - anything that has

become too important in our lives can get in the way

of how close we allow ourselves to be with Jesus.

As we go through our week, in the smallest

moments of the day, we can beg Jesus for the strength

of the Holy Spirit in our lives. As we awaken in the

morning, and in the everyday moments of our lives,

an awareness of our desires before Jesus can change

our attitudes toward these chores and see them as

sacred moments of invitation from the God who loves

us with such fire and compassion.

Letting go, releasing, giving things up: it's a struggle

for all of us. Perhaps we can sit for a moment with the

rich young man. When he returned to Jesus looking

for the easy way out, Jesus “looked at him and loved

him” before he said anything else to him.

Jesus understands our deepest fears and our

motivations. But despite or maybe because of that,

he looks at us and loves us, endlessly - not restricted in

any way by our own selfishness or unwillingness to

change.

Dear Lord, you know how filled I am with fears. Let

each moment of anxiety today be a reminder to open

my life, my heart and my soul to the love and courage

you offer me. I know that if only I could trust in you

more, it would change my life.

“He went away sad, for he had many possessions!”

Let me turn these apprehensions over to you. I beg

you to give me the wisdom and strength I need to

trust more and to fear less. Teach me that it's OK to

stop clinging to the fears I have known for so long

and that I can embrace the freedom you offer me.

Let me be less fear-full and more generous.
