RECEIVING THROUGH SPIRITUAL COMMUNION – Jesus, I believe that You are truly present in The Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. Every day I long for more of You. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot receive You sacramentally at this moment, I invite You to come and dwell in my heart. May this spiritual communion increase my desire for the Eucharist. You are the healer of my soul. Take the blindness from my eyes, The deafness from my ears, The darkness from my mind, And the hardness from my heart. Fill me with the grace, wisdom and courage to do Your will in all things. My Lord and my God, draw me close to you, nearer than ever before. Amen

WEEKLY REFLECTION – The Most Holy Trinity reveals that love is the very structure of reality. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not three “parts” of God, but one God whose very being is a communion of self-giving love. That means the universe is not built on power, competition, or isolation—it’s built on relationship.

One of the clearest examples of the Holy Trinity acting together is the Baptism of Jesus.

What happens in this moment?
The Son — Jesus stands in the Jordan River, humbly receiving baptism.
The Father — A voice from heaven declares, “This is my beloved Son.”
The Holy Spirit — The Spirit descends like a dove and rests upon Jesus.

This moment shows the Trinity not as an abstract idea but as a living relationship acting in the world:
The Father speaks love.
The Son receives the mission.
The Spirit empowers the mission.
One God, three Persons, united in one saving action.

What the Trinity Shows Us About God
God as Communion — The Father pours out love, the Son receives and returns that love, and the Spirit is the living bond between them.
God as Self-Gift — The Trinity is not static; it’s an eternal exchange of giving and receiving.
God as Near — The Father creates, the Son redeems, the Spirit sanctifies. One God, acting in three distinct ways to draw us into divine life.

What the Trinity Shows Us About Ourselves
Because we are made in the image of the Trinity, we are made for:
Relationship — We flourish when we love and allow ourselves to be loved.
Unity without sameness — The Trinity teaches that difference is not a threat to unity.
Mission — As the Father sends the Son and the Spirit, we too are sent into the world to reflect divine love.
The Trinity always works together:
The Father creates.
The Son saves.
The Spirit sanctifies.
But every action of God is one action, flowing from perfect unity.

Father, draw me into Your love. Jesus, help me live Your self-giving. Holy Spirit, make me a vessel of unity and peace.

TRINITY SUNDAY – Trinity Sunday is a solemnity in the Catholic Church celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. It honors the central mystery of the Christian faith: that there is one God who exists in three divine Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

ABORTION RECOVER AWARENESS MONTH: FINDING HOPE AND HEALING – Women and men are not alone in suffering regret after abortion. Yet many of them feel alone precisely because so many are unaware of the harm abortion brings.

We want our society to understand the wounds abortion brings and the healing that is available to those who seek it.

The largest ministry in the world offering healing after abortion is Rachel’s Vineyard, a ministry of Priests for Life and Angelicans for Life. This ministry enables those who have experienced abortion to share their stories.

Healing programs can be found at AbortionForgiveness.com One only needs to enter their ZIP code in the search box to find the program closest to them. This is a website that Silent No More has established.

At AbortionTestimonies.com you can read the stories of mothers and fathers who chose abortion and how it impacted them. Simply knowing they are not alone can be the first step toward healing.
