Today we celebrate The Solemnity of The Most Holy Trinity. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons…” (253) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
On Monday we observe Memorial Day, a national holiday on which we commemorate all those who have died in the service of our Country. Memorial Day is something like a National All Souls Day. We will have Mass at St. Anthony Church at 9:00 AM on Memorial Day.
Every three years the Friars of the Capuchin Province of St. Augustine gather in Pittsburgh for a special meeting called a Chapter. At this Chapter we will discuss the different aspects of our life as members of the Franciscan Order and how we can better live this life. We also will elect or re-elect a Provincial Minister and four Provincial Councilors to lead us for the next three years. Pray for the success of this Chapter Meeting which begins Monday evening, May 27th and ends at Noon on Friday, May 31st. Mass for the First Saturday (June 1st) will be celebrated at 8:00 AM at St. Anthony’s.
In the bulletin today you will find Pope Francis’ prayer to Our Lady Untier (Undoer) of Knots. It is a prayer seeking the intercession of Our Lady for solutions to difficult problems in our lives and in the lives of family members and friends. Pray this prayer along with the Rosary or 3 Hail Mary’s and our Blessed Mother’s prayers are sure to help us out of the difficulties that we all face.
Fr. Jim
