Sister Alice McCoy, OP, explores our Scripture readings for the 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time:

The Scripture readings for today have the “flavor” of what we call parental “tough love.” In Exodus 19, God sends Moses to tell the Israelites that “if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my special possession.” The God that Jesus reveals to us is not a Father/Parent of “dominance” and “control,” but a loving, caring and forgiving parent always present to us. There are those times in our lives when we, like adolescents with their parents, lose sight of our relationship and get mad at the limits and requirements that are set. In Romans 5, Paul says to the people that God proves his love for us in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. In Matthew 9, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned like sheep without a shepherd. So, he sent his disciples out to proclaim the good news that the “kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

This is the call we are all given today. The proclaiming is not just in words but in the actions we take to respond to the needs as we are called to be “Good Shepherds” in times such as these.

Today, we celebrate not only the profound love and compassion of Jesus, symbolized by His Sacred Heart, but also our feast day as Caldwell Dominicans (the Sisters of Saint Dominic of the American Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus). This special occasion reminds us of our commitment to live out His love in our community and beyond.

We invite you to take this opportunity to reflect on the ways we can embody the spirit of the Sacred Heart through acts of mercy, kindness, and service. May we all be vessels of His love, bringing hope and healing to those around us.

Wishing you all a blessed and joyful feast day!

We remember with gratitude our beloved sisters who died during the month of June. Through lives of prayer, study, community, and ministry, they bore witness to the Gospel and the hope of Christ. May they now share in the fullness of God's peace and behold forever the truth they proclaimed.

For the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Sister Alice Uhl, OP, examines how this week's Scriptures help us understand the Trinitarian mystery:

Trinity Sunday—what a mystery! Many catechists have struggled to explain the Trinity to children and adults as well. Today’s Scripture writers, Moses, Paul and John, each takes the approach of describing who God is to help unpack the Trinitarian mystery.

There are common threads in the three readings. In the Exodus excerpt, God describes himself as “…a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.” Moses entreats this God to “…come along in our company.” Paul, in his letter to the people of Corinth, describes God as “…the God of love and peace who will be with you.” And finally, in John’s Gospel, God sends us Jesus who will teach us who God is and how He wants to be with us always. “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him…might have eternal life.”

These three writers challenge us to describe who God is for us and how God is present to us. Perhaps the bigger challenge for us is to prayerfully reflect on how God sees each one of us and whether our presence is something God can count on.

Happy Trinity Sunday!
