Blessed Feast of the Holy Trinity!
The Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity. Exodus 34:6
If you had to describe God in just a few words, what would you say? In today’s first reading, God gives us his own answer: “merciful and gracious” and “slow to anger and rich in kindness” Exodus 34:6.
So on this feast of the Holy Trinity, let’s celebrate the fact that God has revealed himself in such a moving way.
“Father, I praise you because you are always in control. Your plans can’t be deterred by the schemes of any enemy. I am your child, loved and cherished, called and set apart for you, and I know I can rest in you. I trust you, I worship you, and I thank you for drawing me and my loved ones close to you.
“Jesus, you revealed the humility of God when you came to us as a child under the authority of a mother and a father. Because of your lowliness, I’m not afraid to acknowledge my weakness and littleness.
You showed us how important it is to obey your heavenly Father when you stayed behind in Jerusalem as an independent preteen.
You showed it again when you humbly submitted to John’s baptism, resisted the temptations of the devil, and emptied yourself on the cross.
Because of you, I can say yes to my Father. I can resist temptation. I can even bring your love and healing to those around me.
“Holy Spirit, you are the glory of God who has been poured out to give us a glimpse of heaven. You are the One who transforms and comforts me. I am so grateful that you are with me and in me as I walk this journey on earth. Thank you for filling me, dwelling in me, teaching me, and guiding me every day of my life. Come and fill me afresh today!”
“I praise you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!”

Most people blaming “lack of Photoshop” for bad designs are just avoiding the truth.
The problem is not the tool.
It’s lack of taste and basic design sense.
Canva is enough to create something clean and professional.
If it looks bad, the issue is your basics.
Today is the first of the easter triduum, the mystery of our salvation.
Where there will be washing of feets, the altar will be stripped naked, the blessed sacrament will be taken to the altar of repose and all will depart in silence. 🥀

Good morning Catholic family!
In a 2021 decree on combining veneration of Mary and Lazarus with Martha, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments said:
“In the household of Bethany, the Lord Jesus experienced the family spirit and friendship of Martha, Mary and Lazarus, and for this reason the Gospel of John states that he loved them. Martha generously offered him hospitality, Mary listened attentively to his words and Lazarus promptly emerged from the tomb at the command of the one who humiliated death.”
Sts Mary, Martha and Lazarus, pray for us!
