COLLECT
The Collect for Trinity Sunday reads as follows:
God our Father, who
by sending into the world
the Word of truth
and the Spirit of sanctification
made known to the
human race your wondrous mystery
grant us we pray,
that in professing the true faith,
we may acknowledge
the Trinity of eternal glory
and adore Your
Unity, powerful in majesty.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS
In making this prayer tangible the
following reflection questions emerged:
1. What is my relationship with God
the Father?
2. What is my relationship with God
the Son?
3. What is my relationship with God
the Holy Spirit?
4. How does this feast impact
my faith this week?
5. How can I improve my knowledge of
the true faith so I can profess it in a deeper way?
6. What prayer of praise will I make
on this feast to praise Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
GOSPEL REFLECTION
Today is the solemnity of the Trinity or Trinity Sunday. The feast
celebrates essentially the oneness of God yet 3 persons- Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. It is a feast of praise to the Triuune God. It was first celebrated as
a feast in the 9th century in the monasteries but it was not until 14th century
that the solemnity was celebrated by the entire Western Church.

The concept of 3 persons yet one God
is a mystery and yet it is something as Catholics we believe in faith. St
Patrick explained it using the image of the shamrock- 3 leaves yet one
shamrock. Others have written and spoken about this feast to try and explain
it. It is a feast of mystery and of faith. We need to embrace both.
Whatever you do this Trinity Sunday
just take an extra moment as you bless yourself with the sign of the Cross
In the name of the Father
And of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.
and think about it as you do
it.
Let it be one of
your prayer of Praise for the Trinity today.
