V imenu Očeta in Sina in Sv. Duha
Evangelist Janez pravi, da je zapisal evangelij zato, da bi verovali v Jezusa, božjega Sina in da bi imeli življenje v njegovem imenu.
Da bi nam pomagal verovati, Janez skozi evangelij govori o ljudeh kot smo mi -nekateri verujejo, drugi na pol, nekateri pa zavračajo vero.
Današnji odlomek govori o Nikodemu, ki pride k Jezusu ponoči: ta odlomek predstavlja tiste, ki nikoli popolnoma ne zapustijo teme, da bi vstopili v luč in ljubezen večnega življenja.
Prvi stavek ne povzame samo današnji praznik sv. Trojice, pač pa celoten Janezov evangelij, ki govori o pomenu Jezusa in človeškega obstoja: »Bog je tako ljubil svet, da je dal svojega edinega sina, da bi vsakdo, ki vanj veruje ne minil, ampak imel večno življenje.«
Praznik sv. Trojice nas spominja, da nam evangelij vsako nedeljo odkriva del skrivnosti božjega življenja: v vsakem evangeljskem odlomku Jezus udejanja v moči sv. Duha, očetovo ljubezen in resnico na svetu.
Nedeljska evharistija je molitev cerkve v živem združenju z vstalim Gospodom, ki prosi Očeta v moči sv. Duha. Vsako dobro delo, ki ga naredimo, pomeni deliti v Kristusovim poslanstvom in naprviti Očetovo resnico in ljubezen prisotno v svetu, ker si delimo Kristusovega Duha. In mi celo zdaj, v veri, iskušamo neke vrste izpolnitev našega človeškega obstoja, ko v miru in veselju živimo v skupnosti ljubezni z Očetom, Sinom in Svetim Duhom.
Že nekaj let imamo procesijo tudi pri društvu Triglav. Najprej smo imeli v lepo okrašeni dvorani sveto mašo in nato procesijo s tremi oltarji, ki so jih lepo pripravili. Vsi so sodelovali s petjem, branjem in vsem kar spada k procesiji. Hvala vsem za zbrano obhajanje praznika.

Škofje vsaj enkrat letno darujejo sveto mašo na vsakem od katoliških pokopališč. Tako je bila v soboto 4. junija na pokopališču Holy ^ Sepulchre, 11. junija pa v mavzoleju pokopališča Gate of Heaven. Ker imamo Slovenci svoj del pokopališča se je svete maše udeležilo precej naših faranov. Žal nekateri I niso mogli priti, ker smo imeli istočasno pogrebno sveto mašo v župnijski cerkvi.
Sunday's Readings
The Most Holy Trinity
First Reading Exodus 34:4-6. 8-9
The Lord reveals himself to Moses as a God of tenderness and compassion.
Second Reading 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 Paul urges the Corinthians to reflect in their lives the love and unity of the three divine persons.
Gospel John 3:16-18
To his late-night visitor, Nicodemus, Jesus speaks of a God who loves this world so deeply as to send his only Son as its saviour.
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit."
Illustration
Chat shows are among the most popular radio and TV programmes. One reason for their popularity is that they are often revelatory: in answering the questions of the chat-show host, the people who occupy the hot seat may reveal something about themselves, about aspects of their lives and character, that we didn't know before.
But, of course, what is revealed is only a fraction of the whole. Each human being, not only those who are great and famous, is a unique little world, is in a way a mystery that can never be fully fathomed. That's why someone as close as a spouse or a child or a best friend can sometimes surprise us, and we find ourselves commenting: "I didn't know he had it in him" or "She never ceases to amaze me." Indeed, aren't there times when we feel a bit of a mystery even to ourselves?
Gospel Teaching
If a human being can be described as a mystery, then surely God must be mystery with a capital "M". Which doesn't mean that God is some kind of no-go area that we can't touch, that we can't even begin to understand; but rather that our understanding of God will never come to an end, will grow for ever. And that's good news, for who'd be interested in a god small enough to fit snugly into our limited human minds?
Today we celebrate the most astonishing, mind-bending truth of all: that though there is, and can be, only one God, yet in this one God there are three persons. We could never have known that had it not been revealed through Jesus. In the Gospels he speaks of himself frequently as the Son, sent into the world by the Father; at the Last Supper he revealed that the Holy Spirit would be poured out, as joint gift of Father and Son.
God is mystery; the words we use about God are always inadequate. So we speak of three persons in one God; they are not persons in just the same way that you and I are persons, otherwise there would be three gods. But it's right to speak of them as persons because - like us - Father, Son and Holy Spirit are distinct from each other, and
relate to each other. That means that God doesn't live in solitary splendour: God is an intimate circle of total love and understanding. And that limitless, white-hot love has brimmed over into this world, first, in the sense that it has brought the world into existence; but, second, in the sense that it has brought Jesus into the world as one of us and made it possible for us to be brought into intimate friendship with God. As today's Gospel puts it, "God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son" - gave his Son even to death on a cross. Jesus, hanging on the cross, is a revelation - a revelation of how real and boundless God's love is. On Calvary the divine three persons take us into their embrace.
Application
Today's second reading ends with a well-known Trinitarian prayer: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." It was originally addressed to a group of very ordinary people, many of them slaves or ex-slaves in the big, bustling, cosmopolitan city of Corinth. In begging them to love one other and remain united, Paul appeals to the mystery of the Trinity, for that mighty mystery is not some vague, bewildering truth without relevance to daily living. On the contrary, Paul insists that the loving union between the three divine persons should inspire us to live together in unity and love. Our God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, dwells within us - in the words of the first reading, dwells within us as "a God of tenderness and compassion". And we in our turn are called to reflect some of that God-like love in our dealings with others.
Here at Mass, the Blessed Trinity is at the heart of all we do; here - in, with and through Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit - we tiny creatures are enabled to give all honour and glory to the Father. That's why the Mass, the most Trinitarian of prayers, is the summit and source of all the week's activities. It's the sacrament, the visible and effective sign, of that three-personed love, revealed to us as the mystery of the Blessed Trinity.
