May 27, 2018Most Holy Trinity (B)
Dt 4:32–34, 39–40, Rom 8:14–17; Mt 28:16–20Christian iconography commonly represents the God-
head as a triangle with the all-seeing eye in the center,often with rays of glory flooding forth. Yet, in a frescopainted for Pope Julius II, Raphael chooses to make itmuch more personal, more real. He depicts the three per-sons of the Trinity.
God is not merely an idea, a first principle, or a mentalcriteria for moral choosing, but three real divine persons,each one active in your life. A triune God, an eternal ex-plosion of love in which the Father begins by creating you;the Son continues by saving you; and the Holy Spirit con-sumes their love by inspiring and sanctifying you.
Although all things change, God never changes. He isstill, the point of the pendulum from which all things hangand are supported. He wisely governs with his one handlifted in authoritative and assuring purpose. In his otherhand, the sphere of the world rests secure. His decisionsare not arbitrary, swayed by public opinion, or motivatedby insecurity needing affirmation. He is who is. It is wewho need him and not the other way around.
Yet, his absolute authority doesnʼt convert him into analoof despot. God lovingly takes interest in everything!Nothing is unimportant—from the greatest things on earthto the smallest minutiae of my day. If it is important to me,it is important to him, and his providential hand keeps itall in balance.

I have called you by name, you are mine” Isaiah 43:1 Is God calling you? Do you want to learn more about the Catholic Faith? Are you interested in becoming part of our Catholic family?
The RCIA Process (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process by which those interested in becoming a Roman Catholic Christian learn about our faith. Through interviews, classes and discussions, adults are prepared to accept the challenge of our baptism and encouraged to live the message and teachings of Jesus Christ. The RCIA process is also for those Catholics who have not been educated in our faith and have not received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Communion. If you, or some one you know is interested in determining if God is calling you to be part of our faith community, please contact the Rectory office at 718-335-2626 to set up an appointment with one of our Priests.
