'Trifecta' of Blessings

 The Most Holy Trinity
~~~ Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40 ~~~ Psalm 33 ~~~
~~~Romans 8:14-17 ~~~ Matthew 28:16-20 ~~~

Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
to God who is, who was, and who is to come.

In horse racing there is a type of bet called a trifecta.
For this bet you must correctly pick the first three winners.
Not only must the winners be selected,
but they must be in the correct order.

God gave us the three persons...
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
There is no need consider any other gods.
There is no need to bet on the top three.

Our doctrine teaches that the Trinity
is the description of God...
three persons in one.
Belief in the Trinity is the very root of the Catholic faith.
We profess it each time we pray the Creed.
We Baptize in the name of the Father,
 the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We begin most of our prayers
by marking ourselves with the sign of the cross
calling to mind the three persons. 

I am with you always, until the end of the age.

God chose us to be his heirs.
We are his adopted sons and daughters.
His love for us far surpasses that of any physical parent.
He promises to be with always...
in the good times and in the bad times.
His love for us endures until the end of age.

God brought us into this world and he will be the one
 who takes us back to himself.

My prayer is that when the final breath comes;
we may come to a deeper understanding of exactly what
these words have meant and mean.

Belief in the Trinity...
“The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery
 of Christian faith and life” (CCC 234)

There is only One God.
He sends us a 'trifecta' of Blessings.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

If we could understand our triune God,
Saint Augustine says...he would not be God. 

Every day our blessings come in triplets.
If one does not get to you there are two more chances.
Be Ready to Receive them.

~~~ Peace~~~

Love Times Three

Most Holy Trinity Sunday

 

~~~ Proverbs 8:22-31~~~ Psalm 8 ~~~ Romans 5:1-5 ~~~ John 16:12-15 ~~~

 

The wisdom of God has always been present as we find in the words of Proverbs today.

Wisdom was present before all of the things of earth were created by God.

Wisdom is not physical or tangible; wisdom is of the spirit.

 

We may believe that the Spirit only came into being after the Resurrection,

but if we believe in the Trinity we must see otherwise.

The three persons in one would indicate that all persons of God

are and were in existence for all times.

 

When something is revealed to us it does not mean it was newly created.

The Trinity is so totally united as one that they merge seamlessly together.

Distinct yet one...can anything we know compare?

 

I was his delight day by day,
playing before him all the while,
playing on the surface of his earth;
and I found delight in the human race.

 

Wisdom played with God during creation.

What a joyful scene to picture.

Wisdom found us to be pleasing...delightful.

The entire Trinity loves us and desires us to be happy.

Wisdom was even the delight of God.

Playfulness and humor are part of God.

He passed this same ability on to us; in fact laughter is good for our health.

 

 

It seems that our existence is validated by the Spirit.

God found us to worthy of saving.

Jesus, doing the will of the Father,

 found us worthy of salvation through his death.

The Spirit finds us worthy to remain with us here and now.

 

Paul writes, because we have been justified by faith,

and have peace from God, we have grace.

This grace gives us the strength we need to give glory to God

in good times and bad times.

 

Paul writes to the Romans...

...affliction produces endurance,
and endurance, proven character,
and proven character, hope,
and hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

 

We are the bearers of hope to all of the world because we have been loved.

We have been loved by God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We are loved uniquely by the Trinity.

Three is stronger than one.

 

Whenever you see something that represents three...a tripod...a tricycle...etc.

remember that you are loved times three...

You are loved by the Mystery of Trinity.
