Newsletter – The Most Holy Trinity. Year A.

REFLECTION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE – by Lisa-Marie Calderone-Stewart

The second reading is like a greeting card from Paul. It is a note of encouragement and love. In Paul’s day they don’t have ‘smiley faces’ that say, ‘Have a nice day’, but Paul still cares enough to send the very best. He sends greetings and blessings in the name of God as Trinity – our Creator, our Saviour Jesus, and the Spirit they share. We share in that holy and divine Spirit whenever we greet and bless one another.

When was the last time you received a card that wasn’t a Christmas or birthday card?

Prayer is like a greeting card to God and from God. Greeting cards do not create love and friendship between people, but they are a channel so that feelings and thoughts can be shared and expressed more easily.

What feelings and thoughts does God express to you? How do you know?
