HOLY
TRINITY SUNDAY |
|
| Today we listened to the Gospel (Matthew
28: 16-20) and talked about the Holy Trinity. St. Patrick used a shamrock
to explain how the Holy Trinity works. We have made our own shamrocks
to remind us.
Each petal on the clover represents a way of experiencing God. The top
petal is God; the other two stand for Jesus and the Holy Spirit. |

No-one made God; God has always existed.
God came to earth as Jesus, a man we could see, so that everyone would
know how much God loves us. You could say that the Holy Spirit is the
love between God the Father and Jesus, the Son of God. After Jesus had
gone back to Heaven, we could still walk with him in God's love because
the Holy Spirit came to us, to guide us, help us make decisions and
inspire us. Whenever God gives us something out of love, we call it
the working of the Holy Spirit- and everything God gives is given out
of love, so the Holy Spirit is always at work in our lives.
Father John told everyone that however we puzzle about the Holy Trinity,
the most important thing to remember is that God is Love. |

Dear God, we are glad that
we are part of your family.
Thank you for our own family and the love we share.
Amen.
