The Good News May 26, 2024
St. John XXIII Catholic School
Trinity Sunday
This Sunday is Trinity Sunday during which we celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity, one God in three persons.
Today we contemplate how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are united in love. They form a community with equality yet with different roles. You can have a relationship with each person of the Trinity. While we give a separate “job” to each person, in reality, they act together in all they do. When Jesus came to be with us, He was one with the Father and filled with the Holy Spirit. We are saved by all three acting as one.
