On this feast of the Trinity when our God of Relationship, invites us to loving appreciation of the Oneness, the connectedness, we give thanks to that Love and for the many ways we have encountered the same Love in our personal and Holy Family journey.
Recalling the memory of our beginnings with love, today we celebrate the Feast of God’s Love – God our Creator, who’s Love, took flesh in Jesus and the Spirit who continues to live with us transforming all life.
Trinity Sunday is for us Holy Family, a day of joy, of gratitude to God and to our Founder for the gift he left for us – the inception of the Holy Family!
“It was on May 27th 1820, the eve of Trinity Sunday that the group of three young women came together in the accommodation chosen for them, a three-room apartment. They began a retreat of Trinity Sunday and during this retreat they received a special grace, a call from God who never fails those who listen to God…. They desired, sought only God Alone and God’s Love… The heroism of these three women, completely unaware of the future, their destiny and the simplicity of their faith in following the star which had shone in their hours of darkness and uncertainty, led them - under the impulsion of one of the Lord’s ministers who was himself seeking only the glory of God – to plant in the field of the Church, the tree of the Holy Family which would, one day, bear numerous branches.”
