Feast_Trinity_Jesus_Heart_Christi_title.jpg

This past Sunday the Catholic Church celebrated the Feast of the Holy Trinity. This special day celebrates one of the biggest mysteries of the Christian faith—the belief in one God as three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It's a reminder of God's love and the unity within Him. Though no one can fully understand how it works, Christians embrace this mystery and see it as the foundation of their faith.

This coming Friday the Catholic Church will celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This feast is a celebration of Jesus' deep and boundless love for all people. His heart, often depicted surrounded by flames and a crown of thorns, is a symbol of His compassion and sacrifice. It reminds Catholics that Christ’s love is always present, offering mercy, healing, and strength. Many mark this day with special prayers and acts of devotion, reflecting on how they can share His love with others.

This coming Sunday the Catholic Church will celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi. This feast signifies the honouring of the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist—the bread and wine that Catholics believe becomes His body and blood. It's a time to reflect on Christ’s sacrifice and deepen one's connection with Him. Many churches hold processions and special services to show their gratitude and love for this gift.

Let us pray

Loving God, We thank You for the gift of the Holy Trinity, the perfect unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. May we reflect Your love in our lives, embracing faith, peace, and harmony. Lord Jesus, present in the Eucharist, we adore You. Strengthen our faith and fill our hearts with Your grace. May we never take for granted the sacrifice You made for our salvation. Sacred Heart of Jesus, overflowing with love and mercy, draw us closer to You. Teach us to trust in Your compassion and to share Your kindness with others. May our hearts be open to Your healing presence. Holy Spirit, guide us in truth and holiness. Inspire us to be living witnesses of God’s love, bringing light and hope to the world. Amen.
