Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity as we celebrate a core doctrine of our faith. The Trinity is one God, three distinct persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
⁣
Through the love between the persons of the Holy Trinity, we are called to exemplify that same love in our relationship with God and with others.

To accompany his constant calls for peace in the world, Pope Leo XIV will lead the prayer of the Holy Rosary on May 30 at 7:00 PM Rome time from the Vatican Gardens.

He will lead the faithful in Shrines around the world in praying the Joyful Mysteries, with each decade being dedicated specifically for those affected by war and violence and entrusting them to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace.

The first mystery prays for the victims of war, especially the most vulnerable, while the second is for those who bring words of hope and the comfort of faith to populations affected by war. The third recalls the medical and paramedical personnel and volunteers who bring humanitarian aid every day.

The fourth mystery prays for those who suffer the violence of war, for prisoners and for all who endure humiliations that violate human dignity. The fifth and final Joyful Mystery is dedicated to praying for an end to war and the establishment of lasting peace in the world.

Today is the feat day of St. Pope Paul VI.
⁣
Paul VI, originally born as Giovanni Battista Montini, became a priest in 1920 and in 1924 began work for the Vatican Secretariat of State. In 1954, he was named the archbishop of Milan and was selected to be a cardinal in 1958 by John XXIII.
⁣
He was elected pope in June of 1963 and continued the work of his predecessor during the Second Vatican Council in which 16 documents were promulgated.
⁣
Paul VI was also influential with his written encyclicals, visits, and relations with other countries. He increased the number of cardinals in the Church, giving many countries their first. Pope Paul VI died on August 6, 1978.
⁣
He is the patron of the Archdiocese of Milan.
⁣
St. Pope Paul VI, pray for us!

Pope Leo XIV personally came to the Vatican’s Synod Hall to present his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, a sign of how deeply he feels the Church must stand close to her children in this new age of artificial intelligence. In the same room, before the image of Peter’s tomb and under Mary’s gaze as Mother of the Church, tech leaders, cardinals, theologians, and diplomats listened together for the voice of the Holy Spirit in our time.
⁣
Like his predecessor Leo XIII in Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIV sees that our technologies are touching the deepest places of human life — work, war, family, even the hidden heart. He spoke of hearing the cries of those harmed by algorithms and weapons “beyond human reach,” and of his desire to listen to parents, teachers, and the poor before writing Magnifica Humanitas. Above all, he asked that artificial intelligence be “disarmed,” just as the Church has long worked for nuclear disarmament: stripped of logics of domination and made to serve peace and the God‑given dignity of every person.

Today we celebrate the Ascension of Jesus into heaven marking the "entry of his humanity into divine glory ... where he is seated from that time forward at God's right hand" (CCC659). In the Gospel of John (proclaimed on the 5th Sunday of Easter), Jesus promises to go and to prepare a place for us. Today is the fulfillment of that promise.
⁣
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight.
Acts 1:8-9
